' Mr. Ben Sykes and family of Garysburg were appreciated guests of Mr. C. P. Stephenson's familv last Sunday. Agent Jones' wife and his sis ter arrived Monday afternoon. Their furniture has been here several days, so they will begin at once to Bet their house in or der. The torrid weather of the past week surpasses any thing we have yet experienced. Comfort able sleeping either night or day has been out of the question. But for the strong: breeze of the past week, none of us would be left to tell the story. Mesdames' Polly Davis and Betde White have been welcome guests, the past week, in the home of their nephew, Mr. R.W. Edwards. The many friends of Miss Eva Johnson of our sister town Gum berry, who was here at the lawn party looking so radiant and bright, will be sorry to learn. that an attack of violent chills has kept her prostrate for sever al days. We know one young fellow, at least, that would glad ly exchange places with her, He seems to be suffering very much, mentally. Miss Ruth lies of Pleasant Hill is, at present, on a visit to her schoolmate. Miss Lucille Ed wards.;. ' Several of our little folks are indisposed this week. Among them we note, Miss Mary Long, Henry Russell Harris, Miss Ruth Vick and brothers Robert and Bruce. We are' glad none of their ailments are of a serious nature and hope to hear their cheerful voices on our streets again soon. Miss Ida Gay, one of North ampton's foremost teachers, left Sunday afternoon for Jackson, to attend the Teachers' Institute in session at our capital this week; The crops need rain now more than at any time since the begin ning of the drought. ,' Cotton , is still holding its own but peanuts and corn are showing the bad effects, of the hot, dry spelL Miss Alice Gay, after a pleas ant visit of a few days to reUv tives of ' Weldon last week, re turned to her home here Sunday morning. V 'MS-'i.''-- fi frh We understand that the State High School Board here have re cently purchased three vacant resident lots in order to enlarge the already , spacious school grounds.The house mover brought all his implements here last' week nd the old building will be mov ed off the school grounds now in a few davs, then actual construc tion work will actively begin. Hop. B. S. Gay, while en route to Raleigh Sunday night, stop ped here for a few hours stay with his aunt, Mrs. Mary E.Gay. He attended prayer meeting at the M. E. church Sunday night and gave a very helpful and in spiring talk. , We hone be will make it convenient to drop in upon us again some future day. A birthday party was given at the home of Mr. L. W. Hasty on the evening of July 6tb in honor of his wife's 50th anniversary. The young people, of theMt Carmel vicinity, were among the invited guests. Ice cream, cake and other delicacies were served. It is to be honed that Mrs. Hasty will enjoy many happy returns of this occasion. Mrs. Hannah Jordan left Sun day for Virginia Beach where she will enjoy, this week, the many fine addresses made by prominent speakers before The Virginia Baptist Encampment. There was no preaching at the M. E. church last Sunday morn ing. Pastor Harrison was with his Concord church in Quarterly meeting services. OldZick. j. Plain Cooking Schools Wanted. What this conntry needs even more than libraries, missions, humane societies, peace leagues or picture galleries are practical common sense cooking schools where the wives of the present generation; as well as the next can be taught to make the best possible use of food, says Isabel Gordon Curtis in an article in "Success Magazine." Such in struction can not be simple be cause it -must appeal to a class that knows as much about chem istry as it does about Hebrew and Greek. The "high-falutin' " teaching in some schools does nothing but scare off a plain country woman or a girl with a limited education. The very term "Domestic Science" is formidable instead of alluring. What we need to-day is to study our audience, then dis pense with a lot of academic no tions and get down to rational common sense in teaching the common tasks of life. First of all, make every girl and woman understand the dignity of house hold labor, and the necessitv of wholesome, well-cooked food, then teach her to do every de tail of the work as perfectly as it can be done. I believe that some day and that day may not be so very far distant every town and village will consider a cooking school as much of a ne cessity as a church. It will be free to all classes, endowed or managed by the State, and the course of study instead of being elective will be compulsory. The Calamity Howler. A dog sat out in the midnight chill and howled at the beaming moon; his knowledge of music was strictly nil and his voice was out of tune. And he howled and howled, as the hours went by, while dodging the bricks we threw1, till the moon was low in the western sky and his voice was split in two. And there wasn't f& thing to howl over about which a pup should weep, and the course of the dog was wrong and foul, for people were wild to sleep. There are plenty of men like that blamed fool hound, ', who yell when there's nothing wrong, disturbing the country with senseless sound the pessimists doleful song.

Vaughan and little Bon Howard spent a few days last week at Ocean View. Misses Helen and Annie Fut- rell and Lillian Pope are attend ing the Teachers' Institute in Jackson this week. Miss Lucille Bolton of Rich Square spent a few days here last week with her friend. MiBs Pauline Outland. Miss Carrie Parker of Maple- ton, after spending a few days here in the home of Mr. W. T. Benthall, left Mondav for Jack son to attend the Teachers' In stitute. Prof. R. E. Brickhouse. our former teacher, has been here for a few days .calling on friends before attending the Institute. Mrs. C. G. PowelJ and Miss Mamie Powell of Potecasi and Miss Jessie Blarichard, Messrs. David Brown and W. H. S. Bur gwyn went to Winton Monday night, where Miss Powell gave a song recital. Messrs. C. J. Vaughan and L. C G'jpeland accompanied Dr. Q. H. Cooke to Norfolk Tuesday on his Auto. Miss Hattie DeShield and two little neices, Misses O'Connor, of Portsmouth, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Scott. The lawn party and recital given here last Wednesday proved quite a success. As the writer understands, the Better ment Association realized about $23.00 Mr. and Mrs. John Harrell. and yittle son, John Jr., ofLewiston spent from Wednesday until Fri day at the Harrell House. Also Mrs. Dr. Jenkins and son, Dr, Eston Jenkins, of Roxobel and Mrs. Ida Browne spent Thursday there to meet Mr. R. Dean Har rell and bride who were stopping there for a few days before go ing to Scotland Neck. Mrs. Everett Baugham and Mrs. Dr. Lassiter of Rich Square spent last Thursday in town, the former with Dr. and Mrs. C. G. Parker and the latter with Mrs. A. P. Griffin. The Woman's Missionary So ciety of the West Chowan Asso ciation will hold its annual meet ing here Wednesday the 26th Preparations are being made to entertain nil the delegates and we hope each Society mav be represented. The school election held here Tuesday resulted in a great vic tory for the school, and what is better, harmony and good feel ing prevailed, and so far as we know there is no bitterness be tween our people on account of the election. Some of our citi zens preferred the old order of things but they simply voted the way they thought best without assailing the motives of those who differed with them. The vote stood 56 for the school.8 against, and 10 registered and not voting. For 35 years Woodland .has baen noted for its good school and now it is placed on a more solid foun dation than ever before it is con fidently expected that we will continue in the front rank in educational work. ; The world is full of "get-rich-quick schemes. The church ought to promote all kinds of "get right quick" schemes.

"Teach me to feel another's woe To hide the fauit I see That mercy I to others show That mercy show to me." We have been asked by some of our acquaintances and sub scribers "Why don't you publish the cases that come up in court and let the people know who are violating the law and the punish ment inflicted. " And the beau tiful, touching lines above quot ed flash to our mind and we feel that it is our duty to "Feel an other's woe to hide the fault 1 see" and hence we have not pub lished in' detail the proceedings of the court. As a newspaper desiring the public good, wish ing to uplift, wishing to place our county in its true light that of a law abiding intelligent com munity. The Record can see no good in publishing that Jim J ones, ordinarily a good law abiding citi zen, got into a difficulty with his neighbor and was fined seventy five dollars and cost, or that Wil liam Green was seen publicly drunk and was fined fifty dollars and cost. We can see no good result in publishing these facts to the world. However, we can see where it is to the public good to say that for cruelty to animals a fine of fifty dollars and cost was imposed; that for violating cattle quarantine laws, one hun dred dollars fine and the cost was imposed, for disturbing a religi ous ceremony three hundred dol lars fine and the cost was impos ed, and lengthly sentences to the road force were given in nearly every instance in which the Jury found the def endent guilty and a fine could not be collected. Judge Carter believes that it ib for the public good-that the way of the Transgressor should be made hard that he . should be made to feel the weight of the strong arm of the law, and not allowed to "go hence" feeling that a light fine and cost will be the punishment for violating the written law of the land. There is some difference of opinion as to the extent that this should be carried; as to what is the "just" punishment. Men differ upon this point, and always will differ. It is our opinion that the fine should be commensurate with the offense, and with the ability of the defendant and those de pendent upon him to pay. That crime is personal whether Cor porate or Individual, and that the Person, should be made to suffer through the mind or body. What matters it to impose a ten thousand dollar fine upon a Rock afeller? He suffers neither through his pocket or his person, and he and his class continue to risk a violation of the law. The object of the law should be to make the convicted suffer for a wilful violation; to make the law respected, and to impress 'upon the citizenship generally, by its orderly administration that lib erties and lives of our citizens shall at all times feel its protect ing care. Escaped With Ills Life. "Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death," writes H. B. Martin, Fort Harrelsoo, S- C. "Doctors said I bad consumption and the dreadful cough I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything I could hear of for my cough, and' was under the treat ment of the best doctor in Georgetown, S. C for a year, but could get no re lief. . A friend advised me to try Dr. King's New Discovery. 1 did sos and was completely cured. I feel that I owe my life to this great throat and lung cure."

Heeling of District Lodge of Odd fellows July 20th Geoeral Mews of Town and Vicinity. Prayer meeting at tne Baptist church here, led bv W. E. Par ker, was well attended Sunday night.

A new industry, in the form of a meat shop, which fills a long felt want, under the man agement of W. C. Hardy; has been opened near the Tyler House. A little child of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. V. Parker hap been right ill for several days. Mrs. Geo. T. Johnson still con tinues poorlv. Dry weather and intense heat still continues in this section. Unless rain relieves the drought within a few days, matters will begin to look very serious, as corn and peanuts are already suffering and cotton is almost on a standstill. Mr. Geo. T. Parker, the Coun- tv Commissioner from Roxobel Township, was in Windsor on business Monday. Mrs. C. P. Tyler returned to her home nere Saturday morn ing, after spending some time visiting her relatives near Hob good. Mr. Jos. E. Tyler, accompa nied by Mr. Geo. T.

Olive school house in a Prayer Meet ing and religious service on Sat bath afternoon at 4 o'clock to ask help of our Heavenly Father for both temporal and spiritual blessings. There certainly is a need of both spiritual and the temporal blessings of the much needed rain. There will be an other meeting at the same hour this the 10th. day of the month, v When you get into a tight place aad every thing goes against you; until it seems you can not hold on a minute longer, never give ; up then, for that is just the place , and time that the tide will turn.
