As these recollections come ack to you whose school lives have been spent in this community, your yes will moisten as you realize those lays are now gone forever, rsever hgain will those days return. You who 'for so many months and years iave been like one family and partici pated joyously together in the school oom and"; play-ground havo doubtless pledged loyalty and faith to the schoo You now step out of school life into life's school and will be scattered far and wide,' but the memories of your school days will ever form the bright-rs- link in your chain of thought; may get yourself in trouble. -Most men who own a watch think t they know all about it. They have the number fixed in their memory in case it ig stolen. They could probably pick it out from 50 other 'watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know that their watch is a compass and will tell north from south as accurately as it will te the time of day? Stanley, the explorer, did not know It until he had groped his way through the dark .A " i - ' continent and met a Belgian sailor on the coast. Every watch, is a compass. If you point the hour hand f to the sun the south is exactly half way between the hour and the figure XII to the Jail. Suppose for instance, it is 4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun and (the XI on the watch is exactly south. If it is 8 o'clock point the hand indicating 8 to the sun -and the figure X on the dial is due south. No man :-1 - 'i - - f need get lost if he carries: a watch. The storekeeper who does not adver tise and who does not systematize his business might I as. well put up his shutlers.

We had an Interesting call on Tues day morning from Hon. John H. Small and his conversation was full of in terest and instruction to us. Mr. Small Is serving his tenth year as the representative in congress from the first district of North Carolina. It is no exaggeration to say that he Is the most popular and useful represen tative the district has ever had. Ills length of service exceeds all others in believe, ; except that of Lemual Saw yer, of Camden county, who was one of the earliest representatives. Mr. Small is a broader man than he was when he entered the public service ten years ago, but his head is not swollen and his vanity has not increased, lie is the same -plain un affected and Jobliging John H. Small that he was then. His highest motive is to serve the people. The evidences of his success stand out, as public monuments and his private favors to individuals will never be known ex cept to' his beneficiaries. His late speech upon his railroad votes is a complete vindication of the purity of his motives and of his anx iety to do everything he could for the benefit of our southern section.
