Salem Sayings.
A large crowd greeted Rev. L.
H. Joyner at Salem church last
Sunday. The singing of the old
hymns and tunes, and the old-time
preaching without the new form of
worship, far surpassed the new
fashion worship of this age. The
sacrament was administered and
nearly the entire large audience
partook. 2?he presence of Rev. W.
S. Hester to worship with his peo
ple at the old home church added
much to the occasion. A great
many visitors from afar and near
were present. From the fact that
nearly every one would cure tobac
co this week the meeting was post
poned till possibly September.
Monday morning at 9 o'clock we
noticed N. G. Crews, near Salem
cross roads, with four two horse
wagons all loading tobacco at one
time. He could carry about one and
a half barns of tobacco at a trip.
Many others are curing and this is
a busy season throughout our
country now. D. N. H.
Family Reunion.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Ernest Parham
are having a family reunion at
their lovely home on Horner
Heights. They have as their guests
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Parham and
two children Annie Jordan and
Julia Hunter, of Kinston; Mr. and
Mrs. I. M. Reams and children,
Julia Howard and Master Marion,
of Dunn; Mr. and Mrs. S. V.
Priddy and Misses Julia and Doro
thy Priddy, of Richmond; Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. Dorsey and children,
Loyd, Edward, Cynthia, Elizabeth
and Katherine. There was present,
also -Black Marny," Sal lie Par
ham, who has served the family
most faithfully for more than fifty
years. Mr. and Mrs. Hinton and
two children, of Durham, were also
present, Mrs. Hinton being a sis
ter of Mrs. Parham. The spacious
lawn has been gay with the sound
of the many happy little voices and
the time has been most pleasantly
spent by the older members of the
house party in renewing old ac
quaintances and in forming new
ones; by royal dinners among the
different relatives, by a visit to
the Association recently held at
Poplar Creek church, and in num
erous other ways. It is with re
luctance that each member bids
adieu to hospital Oxford but sin
cerely hope for another such happy
occasion in the near future. COM.
Famous Old School.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch of
Sunday last contains the following :
"Among the oldest and most
famous of the colleges for women
in North Carolina, cf4 for that
matter, in the entire South, is Ox
ford College. It was founded in
1850, and was one of the few to
keep its doors open for the recep
tion of scholars throughout the
Civil War. It has maintained high
ideals of education suited to girls.
It has aimed always to conserve
their health and to send them forth
strong in body. It was one of the
first to introduce a system of physi
cal culture, and to lay stress on the
truth of the adape, mens sana in
rcorpore sano It is ese.ceedingly:
fortunate in its location. Oxford
,1s a town. of 4,000 inhabitants, and
,having been the neat of schools of
learning for three generations and
.more, is noted for the refined ele
gance of its social life. Therefore,
its schools are in an educational
and moral atmosphere entirely
favorable to the highest ideal of
social life.
"Oxford is noted also for it
health record, ranked as one of the
healthiest town in the State. Dur
ing the administration of President
Hobgood of thirty-one years, the
school has had but one case of
typhoid fever, and that was brought
to the school.
"The old buildings having been
destroyed by fire in 1904, President
Hobgooa planned the new buildings
out of an experience of thirty-five
years in conducting schools for
girls. The plan is unique four
:two-story buildings standing thirty -;feet
apart are connected by corner
-yeranders; all sleeping rooms on
second floor, all class'rooms, music
.rooms, library, etc., on first floor.
"The plan secures absolute safety in
case of fire, and preserves the health
in avoiding the necessity of climb
ing several flights of stairs. "

A Puzzling Plural
"What is the plural of adze, the
implement carpenters use?" Capt.
S. II. Green walked into The En
quirer office last Saturday morning
and sprang the question. The
answer was, "The same that it is
in axe," but that answer was not
satisfactory to Capt. Green', and
he is of the opinion that it has no
plural form no more than sheep or
deer has. As a matter of compro
mise it was agreed that if we ever
had occasion to "order on" for
more than one adze that we would
order one of them and then add
while you are sending that one send
another one just like it, or a dozen
just like it, as the case might be.
?Jonroe Enquirer.
The Season for Blood Boils.
A well-known citizen of Raleigh,
who knows that there is misery
with boils, has found a remedy for
them and in a communication to
this paper says:
"Boils can e prevented if proper
attention is given U- them in their
early stage. They are caused by
an insect or germ that works into
the skin from the outside, the same
as a bedbug or chigger. As soon as
you feel the pimple, bathe it two
or three times with tincture of
arnica. The insect will be destroy
ed, the inflammation will cease and
the result will be that the boil will
not mature. If this insect is not
destroyed the impurites in the blood
concentrate at the point , of attack,
inflammation increases and the
result is a painful boil.
"I have used this remedy for
many years, and know that it will
prevent boils if applied in apt
time."

Honest Now, Are Y on Not Al
wavs Glad to See our Wagon
You may fret when it is late and may he tempted" to
tjiink unkind things ahout us, but when the wagon turns
theWh'er does not the sense of relief wjiich you exper
ience show how truly welcome the coming of the wagon is.
In most cases when the wagon is late in reaching your
door it is because some customers on your route have
held it back, and their thoughtlessness, while uninten
tional, makes you suffer. We are quite sure that you
would not knowingly delay the ice wagon on its way to
homes where sickness and suffering prevail. On the
contrary, if you could speed it along, you would. Ihere
is scarcely a day in which the wagon on your route does
notVo to homes where anxious mothers are watch for it
with heavy hearts. You can speed the wagon by an
swering the call promptly, by having the road clear to
the refrigerator, by having the change or the coupon m
hand, and in other ways which your own intelligence
are going to act on this hint now and
hereafter. Thank you!
