"let us forget the pt.st with all its card's ?:.d trets, with al' its pains and ache all its laults and mistakes. Every act we have wrought, either for good or for evil, is in the hands of the Mighty Love that is capable of bringing honey out of the rock and sweet waters out of the bitterest desert the love that turns weeptn into laughter, woes into Joys, and gives the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Only for the beautiful memories, sweet and tender, that linger like the perfume of roses in the events of the days that are gone will thoughts of yesterday serve any good purpose. Leave every thing to the love that Is higher than the stars, wider than the skies, and deeper than the seas: the love that holds for all, the treasures for the days that are one." "Leave not until tomorrow things that should be done today." Men and women, boys and girls of North Carolina, discharge your duty to the State and society by sending the eai'iings of a day to the orphanage of your choice on, or near, November 25th. the day on which all the people of this great and glorious country of ours shall return thanks unto Him who doeth all things well.

A modern Noah's ark docked in New York last Saturday, when the Australian and United States line freighter Bellebuckle arrived with four thousand specimens of animals, birds and reptiles, recruited for the Bronx too during the past two years by Dr. Ellis Stanley Josephs in the central and northern parts of Aus tralia. The shipment comprised start ling animal formnand faces, vividly colored wings and crests, and curi ous, poisonous reptiles. A koala, a roly poly armful of grey fur that 'onks like a teddy bear," the first to be brought to this country, was one of the prizo specimens. Dr. Josephs said it eats only the leaves of euca lyptus trees, and nearly a ton of these leaves were brought along from Aus tralia. The real belle of the party however was a spotted female dassa p.is, another antipodean novelty. She carried nine young In her pouch. Soon after the ship left Sydney sev eral members of the crew and offi cers were stricken with tropical fe ver which Dr. Josephs said was brought aboard br the animals.

Several hundred University of North Carolina students broke up a victory parade staged the other night at Chapel Hill by republicans of Carr boro. almost precipitating a not. The parade, which started in Carr boro, a town located one miles west of the University, entered Chapel Mill with a brass band playing and sev eral hundred republicans yelling "Harding, Harding. Harding." The paradeis rode horseback and In au lomobiels. University students, hearing the baud, assembled and yelled "Cox. Cox. Cox." As the parade passed, the students hurled eggs at the pa raders, many of them 'indiug targets. Warm words followed and the stud ents crowded around the machines in a thieatening attitude. Mayor W. S. Koberscn brought hostilities to an abrupt end. Me re quested the Carrbo:x men to return home without repeating the noise made upon entrance into the town. They acquiesced. Ilogville Local News. Hogville, November 8. An air of disappointment was noted among the crowd at the postofAce, today when Zero Peck showed up at that popu lar resort. Zero has been sick tor several days and it was reliably re ported that he eould not recover. Dan Hocks said after both sides told him we would have mighty pros perous times if their candidate was elected; he quit worrying about it and did not trouble himself to vote. The Postmaster and Mail Carrier both are well pleased with the results of the election, and they are prepar ing to hurry off Joint congratulations to the winning candidate. The election Is now over and "I told you so." Woman suffrage meant very little to Miss Petunia Belcher as she lost her first vote. Dag Smith's dogs failed to get any of the premiums at the Annual Dog Fair and Exposition. He attributes his failure of success to the fact that he is a Socialist and all the judges were Republicans and Democrats. He declares if his party ever . gets in power he will pay them bark In full measure. Bill Hellwanger. Zero reck. Gape Allsop and Dag Smith have formed a league and signed an agreement not to fight nny more. They seemed un animous In the opinion that there Is really very little left to fight over since the Petunia Ridge and Bear Ford still houses have been forced to quit business. Bill Mathewsln. the oldest nian In this whole section, says he, in all his years never knew the election returns to fail to disappoint some one. The stock law carried In the Hog ville precinct and Alexander Moseley will have to pen his geese. Mad It not been for these geese and Zrn Peck's old jumping cow the law would have been defeated. The Assistant Constable -was re elected. He received one less vote than four years ngo and his first of ficial act will be to find out w ho that voter Is. Slle Sims has fWd his auto to a Junk dealer and Gape Allsop says he cannot see why he did not think of this sooner. Gape Allsop fears his derby hat Is going out or style. Me has not neen another like it for a long time. A FRESH SHIPMENT OF HORSES AM) MULES ALSO SOME FINE HUOOD MARES. Give us look. FOWLER & LEE.
