Parham. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. S. Williams, of the Methodist Protestant church. After the marriage the company sat down to an elegant dinner which was greatly enjoyed by all present. The menu was varied, the viands tempting, the manner of its preparation and service reflecting the highest credit upon Mrs. Amos and the ladies assist ing her. The bride is a young lady of lovely character and most estimable worth. She is a daughter of Mr. James Amos, chairman of the Roard of County Commissioners, and like her father counts her friends among all who know her.

By farthe most beautiful and artis tic thing of the kind that we have seen is Fairbank's Fairy Calendar for 1901, a copy of which we have just re ceived with the compliments of the N. K. Fairbank Company, Chicago, 111. It consists of live designs, one on a sheet, size 10xl2 inches, ele gantly lithographed in beautiful colors and gold, on extra heavy plate stock. The designs, by the celebrated artist, W. II. McEntee, represent handsomely decorated Dresden china plaques, on rich plush backgrounds, no two alike. The lirst sheet is the calendar proper, as it contains the en tire twelve months' calendar dates grouped within the plaque, with a background of royal purple. The other four designs contain figures typifying "Morning," "Noon," "Even ing," and "Night," modeled in colors appropriate to the time of day repre sented, and bossed on relief plaques, set against rich plush mats of silvery blue, bright apple green, rich pea cock blue and deep crimson. These four plaques have no lettering what ever to mar their artistic beauty, and are designed expressly for decorative purposes. Each of the five sheets has a separate hanger, which can be retained or removed, so that the plaques and calendar can be used singly or together, framed or un framed, to decorate your home in an almost endless variety of ways which your ingenuity and artistic taste will suggest. It is impossible to describe the rich coloring, exquisite beauty and superb decorative effect attained in Fairbank's Fairy Calendar for 1901. It must be seen to be appreciated. Don't fail to obtain a copy. Superior to many calendars offered in the art stores for $1.00. The N. K.

A man walked into a country print ing oflice the other day, and said to the editor: "Say, if you want something to fill up your paper with, you might say iu your next issue that I have just started a shpp to make and repair wagons and carriages, and would like to have evervbodv to call and me." see "do the "All right.' you want an replied the editor, advertisement iu paper, too?" "No," said the man; "just an item of news in the local column." "Do you want to subscribe for the paper?" asked the editor. "Well, no," said the man. "I am taking two or three city papers, and some story papers ..from Chicago; I haven't got time to. read, any.niore. Maybe I'll take your paper when some of the others run; out:" "All right," said the editor; and he smiled to himself. Next day the editor sent his car riage around to the shop. lie wanted two spokes put in the wheel, and told him he had a little job for him, just to rill up his time and keep him busy. The man looked it over, and said: "Well, the spokes will be .30 cer.t each, and the dashboard $1; that will be just $2." "Oh." said the editor, "I didn't mean to pay for it. I just brought it around, same as you brought that item yesterday, just to till up your time." It's only an item, you know."" Then the wagon repairer saw the point, and the editor went back to his office, and deftly pitched the item into the wastebasket. Xewspaperdom. CASTOR I A j For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought f Bears the Signature of BISHOP CHESHIRE'S MEMORIAL SERMON. An Entertaining, Impressive, Well Written Production." The Wilmington Messenger thus re fers to the sermon of Bishop Cheshire on the life and character of Rev. William S. Pettigrew, as printed in the Gold Leaf Nov. 29th: The sermon preached at Henderson on the 18th of last month, on Rev. William Shepard Pettigrew, by Bishop Cheshire, is a memorable one. It is in the first place concerning a much lamented minister of most excellent worth and exalted character, and a man of high type, of singular purity and sweetness of life and "full of the milk of human kindnsss." In second place, the sermon is an entertaining, impressive, well written production, and evidently by a minister of ability and study. It is not commouplace and fruitless, but is marked with sober reflection, breadth of. view, and sagacity of understanding, it re produces with felicity of touch and a certain human charm something of the past the plain, heroic times that produced genuine meu of the staunch, nobki type and presents a line study of a devout and most useful, and well beloved servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was antique of the past, independent, of real moderation, the very soul of honor and sympathy, and goodness, well worthy to have written in application to himself what Abou Ben Adhem said in reply to the angel "I pray thee then. Write me as one that loves his fellow nien." We knew for well nigh thirty years this "servant of God." We have known but the fewest number of men who lived such gracious, beautiful, consecrated lives, and who were in themselves such admirable represent atives of the highest manhood, such delightful expressions of regenerate! fallen humanity. He lived for God ami eternal truth, and when he was called to cease his labors on earth he did not die, but passing out of the perishing tabernacle of flesh he was so transfigured, that he no doubt, en tered upon the unending life in eternal glory. We rather marveled that the Bishop took his text from an epoch riphal book. It would have been more appropriate if he had chosen the words of the Christ, the Son of God. the Redeemer of the lost.

Times gave an instructive talk to his patrons through the medium of his columns. He said in part: "It may gratify the vanity of the citizen to have his business ability and his success eulogized, but it will never add a dollar to his fortune to pay a transient, travel-stained pencil pusher to write a few paragraphs of praise concerning himself and his business. His neighbors, who are as sociating with him daily, know him ,too well to believe anything that is not true about him. "What the merchant needs to help him sell goods is not a pictureor write up in the publication of some smart "foreign" advertising faker, but a regular advertisement in the local papers of what he has to sell and then to invariably adheie as to price and quality to the specifications of the ad vertisement. "Editors have an opportunity to scan pretty closely the effect of differ ent kinds of advertising and to see the effect of neglecting to advertise in the local papers. The observant editor might be dropped down into a dozen stores in a town in which he was an entire stranger, and he could determine in half an hour any pleasant weekday which of the stores advertise indiciously. 'Merchants who advertise attract strangers; those who do not, keep a few old customers until they begin to learn through the advertising columns that cheaper and more up-to-date Is are sold at other stores. The merchant who does not advertise can not afford to renew his stock with up- to-date goods, for he has not sold his old stock, so he loses his old customers and keeps his old goods, and all be cause he will not advertise." Says He Was Tortured. I suffered such pains from corns I could hardlv walk." writes H. Robinson, flills- horough. Ills., "but Bucklen's Arnica Salve completely cured them."

The Century's Last Christmas. Makiug au appeal for a simpler Christmas, Edward Bok. in the De cember's Ladies' Home Journal, con siders this Christmas because it i. the last of the century a good tune to change about and go back- to the simpler Christmas of earlier days. "Why not respond a little to our natural selves; the selves that were given to us as children?" he asks. "In other words, why not be simpler, and be true to ourselves? Why not give a remembrance to our children to carry them through their lives the remembrance that conies of true giving? Not the giving that we feel, for some reason, we should or ought to practice. Not the giving that is measured by what the gift costs. Not the giving that comes of any artilicial or conventional motive. But the giving that comes oT great glad ness: the giving prompted by real loving-kindness: the giving of sin cerity; the giving of the heart. It ninkes no difference how simple mav be the giving. It ueed not be a gift, even a few written words will suffice. I believe that there are certain things needed to evoke the higher power of Christmas: its rarest gladness. It shines brightest and best, and dis closes mo where material expression of it is wanting. It tells its be-t ana sweetest secrets where love is found. It grants its highest endowments to hearts that are simple and true and gladden the lives of others. The ma terial surroundings matter not. Upon such a Christmas the Master of the feast bestows the dearest, most abid ing influences that can come into the human heart." Kvervthinsr to eat Jri right price, at ;uid to wear, and at H. THOMASOVS. COME, LET'S BE HONEST. Give Us a Mrs. Santa Claus as Well as a Mr. Santa Claus, Tradition or no Tradition. One of the Gold Leaf's exchanges sets up the following claim in justice to woman: Speaking of our venerable old friend. Santa Claus, it is all right for the children to love the kindly saint, but isn't it just a little mean that there isn't a Mrs. Santa Claus to share the warm regard of innocent, juvenile hearts? Everywhere you hear of the "dear old man," the ""jolly old man," "the generous old man," but never a word about "the thoughtful old lady," and in very truth it is the women who make Christmas what it is, after all. Who is if that drags the husband and father through the shops in search of a certain kind of doll for the baby or a new-fangled Oschu for the oldest girl? It is mother, of course. Who works late at night on some surprise for the sleeping head of the family, and who grows tired and heated in the kitchen preparing special holiday pies and puddings to please the holiday palate? Who buys the wreath? Who hangs up the mistletoe? A woman, of course, and vet never once do vou see aught but a gray-headed, rosy-cheek ed man, receiving all the uomage ana all the praise. Just let the men, headed by Santa Claus himself, try and run Christmas alone, aud see where they would come out. They must be aided by a woman; they must be prompt in the niceties of life by a dainty, feminine touch; they would bungle Christmas into such shape that the children wouldn't recognize it if they started out on the principle that it is necessary to make a holiday brimful of happiness. ' The women are always needed when sunshine is to be caught and held, therefore at Christmas they are nat urally queen pin of the revel, yet a masculiue Santa Claus, the imposter, smiles on benignly, and nowhere in sight is there shown his helper of the opposite sex, without whom he would be thoroughly at sea.

There are four good habits punctu ality, accuracy, steadiness and dis patch. Without the first of these, time is wasted. Without the second, mistakes the most hurtful to our own credit and interest, and that of others may be committed. Without the third, nothing can be well done, and without the fourth, opportunities of great advantage are lost which it is impossible to recall. -Exchange. NOTICE.
