L. Crisp Is Chairman and All Churches and Other Benevolent Org snlxstions Are Requested to Confer with Committee, In order to aid in the distribution of charities this Christmas, a gen eral committee has been appointed to get from all the churches, Sunday schools, lodges, mills, public schools, etc., a list of the families they pur pose helping. This will not in any way interfere with the choice made by the organizations.

Crisp is chairman of the committee. Each church or organlz ation is requested to prepare a list of those it expects to help Christmas and report to Mrs. R. L. Crisp or some member of the committee not later than Monday morning, December 21 The following ladies have been asked to serve upon the committee, vis. Mesdames R. L. Crisp. J. F.

NO MORE TOBACCO SALES UNTIL AFTER Local Market Closes Today and Reopens Monday, January 4 Snow Hill Market Also Shut Down for Christmas Season. Kinston tobacco market will close after today's sales for the Christmas holidays. The tobacconists will take a whole fortnight for their midwinter vacation, and most of them, hard worked during the nearly four months since the warehousese were first open ed for the season, need it. The sea son up to now has been an extraordin arily busy one. Most of the buyers and some of the sales force men will spend the holidays at out-of-town Doints. and a few have already left for the Kentucky and Western Caro lina markets, where the season for the dark leaf is now on in full blast. The Kinston market will be re-open ed on Monday, January 4. Resident tobacco men believe a considerable quantity of the weed in this territory yet remains to be sold. The Snow Hill market also closes down this evening, and will start up again on January 6, one day later than the market here.

An derson Gibson, carrrying a concealed weapon, eignt montns. morns jones, assaulting a woman, guilty; not sen tenced. There were around a dozen of the jail cases. These usually are given the preference over all except coses of much importance In Superior Court, in order to avoid congestion in the jail and to allow prisoners not able to furnish ball a chance to be ., . . . , ... , , , liberated or receive their punishment as the case may be, without undue in carceration. GABRIEL POOLE LIBERATED. Magistrate H. C. V. Peebles after a hearing Thursday night ordered the discharge of Gabriel Poole, a white man arrested by county officers last spring for the alleged operation of a whiskey still near Kelly's Mill.

The city schools were closed this afternoon for two weeks' holidays, and the more than a thousand white and several hundred colored children turned loose to behave extraordinar ily well, pester their parents and pre paro for Santa Claus for a week, and suffer with indigestion and romp without restraint for the week fol lowing. In the high school and gram mar grades there were no Christmas exercises worthy of mention, but in the primary department several clas ses of the little folks recited, sang songs and went through simple tab leaux. A number of patrons attend ed the exercises in Borne of the rooms. - Practically all of the teachers resi dents of other places are leaving to day or preparing to leave for their homes. When the schools re-open on Jan uary 4 it will not be with the conges tion that has existed all the fall in the white buildings. The new build ing on East Lenoir street will be oc cupied for the first time by the high school and seven grades of the gram mar school.

The new school house was rushed with a view to its occupancy two weeks ago, but bad weather conditions obtaining about that time made this impracticable.
