We warmly congratulate our high ly esteemed friend, Mr. J. R. Young, of Henderson, upon his election by the Legislature as Insurence Com missioner of the State. A splendid selection as he is certainly qualified for the position. Mr. L. J. Steed, the excellent manager of the Orphan Asylum planing mills, Monday while looking after tho water in the boiler one of the gauges blew out scalding him rather badly about the body. Glad to note that he is improving fast from the burn. A few days ago, Mr. J. A. Shot woll, near Berea, while cutting down a tree a limb broke off and hit him in the forehead knocking him sense less for some hours. He was severely hurt and will take him sometime to recover entirely. He had a narrow escape from being killed. The editor wishes him a rapid recovery.

Congressman Cannon of Illinois said in the House Saturday that if the speeches made Friday by Mr. Simpson and others had been made in Manila the speaker would have been arrested, tried by a drum head court-martial and shot, to which "Sockless" Jerry retorted, "to be shot at Manila is better than to be shot here by an old muzzle-loading brass Cannon." Flossie is G years old. " Mamma," she asked one day. "if I get married will I have a husband like pa?" " Yes," replied the mother, with a smile. " And if I dont get married will I have to be an old maid, like Aunt Kate? " " Yes, Flossie." " Mamma," she said, after, a short pause, "it's a tough world for us women, ain't it?" It is natural for every farmer to seek out the best and most reliable brands of Guano to use in the culti vation of tobacco, and is well known that there are none better than the Star Anchor, Bonanza, Little Giant and Acid Phosphate manufactured by the old favorites, Allison & Ad dison, of Richmond, Va. In this territory the Star and Anchor brands have stood the test of years and stands unequaled today for produc ing fine bright tobacco and is a favor ito among our farmers. This old reliablo firm continues to seek your patronage, and we call attention to thmr advertisement in another column. Mrs. Lonnie Smith received the sad news Sunday of the accidental killing ot her brother, Johnnie Jones at LaG range Saturday afternoon. It seems that his brother Otho had a pistol while Johnnie was greasing a buggy, and was trying to get a shell out with a nail. He struck it on the tire of the wheel that his brother was taking off when the shell exploded and the ball struck Johnnie back of the ear and imbedded itself in the head. The little fellow died in a few hours. It was a most unfortu nate accident and cast a deep gloom over the family as well as the com munity. The many friends in Ox-, ford and Granville deeply sympa thize with the suddenly bereaved family. OXFORD, N. Sheriff Fleming will be inducted into office Monday. Mrs. Holley, who has been sufa fering with an attack of the grippe, is convalesent. Married on the evening of the 25th of Februarv Col. L. C. Edwards and Mrs. Mary Young Cannady. The question arises who was it that paid 50 cents for a man to shoot 25 shot through his hat on a wager? Sheriff Cozart has no desire to put any body to trouble about their taxes, but insist that they must be paid. Mr. John Hunt, who has charge of the farm at the Orphan Asylum, and who has been sick some days is much better. Mr. S. H. Smith desires that you read the change in his advertisement on the second page of this paper, so don't forget it. W o are glad to out out again the vonorable Rev. R. I.

Lyon, we are glad to learn continues to im prove from a seyere fall he received some weeks ago at his home near Berea. Meanwhile it may be said that extensiye incendiarism in Manila does not throw any additional light on the solution of the Philippine problem. It is all veiy well to preach about paying the little bills, but if we could get the big ones off of our hands we would be well able to dis charge the smaller ones. Mr. Lawrence has completed the four new cottages at the Orphan Asylum, and has done his work well. They are handsome buildings and the girls will have nice homes. Mr. Zack Lyon is always look ing to the interest of the farmers. He has purchased a large number of North Carolina Almanacs and is dis tributing them free to his farmer triends.

A dead child was found in a branch; one negro shot another; a white man was assaulted with a knife by a stranger, who tried to cut his throat; two fights were nar rowly averted, one over the dispen sary and another over a lawsuit, which is not yet ended.

Friend Mayes made a game hunter after yotes, a game man, and will make a game, successful officer. Capt. A. S. Peace took charge of the post office yesterday and the affable Sid Hunt stepped down and out. The patrons of the office regret to lose him as he has made a very tffic'eit and faithful officer. Messrs. Leak and Sam Peace, two of the in telligent and manlv sons of the Cap tain, will be in charge of the office, and after they are trained by Mr. Sid Hunt, will make conpetent and polite officials. We truly hope the office will remain where it is as it is the most convinent location in town. HORSE FOR SALE A No onp young horse, well broke to double and single harness, gentle and sound.

Raleigh Post 23d: This commu nity was painfully stirred this morn ing by the tidings of the death of this good and distinguished man. He was taken sick less than a week ago, and while a few friends felt solicitious about him, he was reported as im proving yesterday, and so all were shocked when the news began to spread through the city that Dr. Smedes was dead. He had lived at St. Mary's, just outside the city limits, since the school was opened by his sainted father in 1842, with the exception of a very few years, and continually since 1SG2; so that he was familiarly known and sincerely venerated by the citizens of Raleigh, of all classes. The death of few ot any of our citizens could have made such an impiession or excited wider sympathy than his. Dr. Smedes was the second son of Rey. Albert Smedes, D. D., and Sarah (Lyell) Smedes, and was born in New York city August 7th, 1837, and was therefore but five years old when he came to Raleigh. Easter, April 2nd. . Easter will be here this year before Spring is hardly started. It comes on April 2nd and is earlier than it has .been for the past five years. On last year it fell upon the 10th ot April, and in 18SG it came upon the 25th the latest it ever comes. It will not arrive on the 25th again until 1943. As the date of Easter is fixed by calculating moon after the 23rd of March, the festival can occur as earlv as the 23rd of Marcn and has done so. In 1788 it fell upon that date and in 1845 57, and in 1913 it will be repeated. In In 189G Easter came upon the 29th of March,- which proved to be the coldest and most inclement day of the winter. I havebeen afflicted with rheumatism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but constantly suffering. I had tried everything I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamderlain's Pain Balm, which I did, and w is immediately relieved and in a short time cured. I am happy to say that it has not since returned. Josh. Edgar, Germantown. Cal. For sale dy J. G. Hall, Druggist fiampton fiymmittgs. Mr. Nick Goss, of Hampton, took in the tobacco market last week. Mr. Thomas Clayton is on the sick list this week. Hope him a speedy recovery. The pubMe school near Robert's church taught by Mr. Joseph Farra bow closed list Thursday.

Little Lonnie, the 5 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Roberts, had the misfortune to break his leg a few days ago. We regret to chronicle the severe illness of Mrs. John Forsythe, of near Robert's chapel. We hope her a speedy recovery. Mrs. R. L. Tilley, who has been to Baltimore for medical treatment, has returned home in feeble health. May she soon recover. The little daughter of Mr. Add Nance, of Durham, was interred in the old family grave yard near Knap off Reeds on the 17th of February. Will say that old Sleuth does not contemplate matrimony at present, but like Cindy Jenkins has gone into the shingle and helve business, which aecounts for h long absence. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. I. Kronheimer as he was a special friend of our. We extend our condolence to his bereaved family in tais there hour of bereavement. Old Sleuth. 200 barrels 'Dan Valley," "Desot,a" "Oak Kidge," "Elmwood" and "Cedar Cliff" flours bought before the recent ad vance. We have sold these flours exclu sively for past two years.

He was a warm hearted and beloved brother and feel like we could not giye him up, thou rh we believe his soul is basking iu Ua sunlight of God's love.

He was married only 1 year and 8 days, and leaves behind a wife and darling little baby girl, an aged I motner, nve sisters and two brothers to mourn his death.
