BRITT, LOCAL EDITOR, THURSDAY. - - - OCT. 31.1901.- COUNTY NEWh. Stem Stcmmings. Quite a number of our people at tended the State Fair one day last week. The public raods through t his sec tion are a disgrace to any communi ty and the County Commissioners, Itoad Supervisors and overseers seem to be content. It is reported that quite a number of our young people, both white and colored, will soon exchange "single blessedness" for "double cussedness." Peace to their ashes. We cannot recall the year when tobacco was so nearly all sold at this time 01 year as it is now. Guess the tobacco men begin to realize the situation and prices remain high in the mean time let's make our sup plies, cultivate fewer acres in tobacco and then we can continue to get sat isfactory prices. One of the correspondents suggest that we take up the subject of love for discussion. We suppose that is a very interesting subject, yet men and women in all ages have failed to give a satisfactory definition of love. Some one has said that it is "an in ward inexpressibility, and an out ward alloverishness", and you know a thing of that sort is hard to com prehend. We would like to hear from some one else as at present we will remain silent. LACK LAND. CarRiwrJIcadettiyt:oplc$. Our mail is promptly delivered every day by Terry Callis, who is very efficient. Mr. John P. Cannady has been real sick with malarial fever, but are glad say is now improving. Mr. John Oakley, who was seri ously hurt in Oxford some time ago, improves very slowly. He was able to be out doors Sunday for the first time. Rev. J. E. Wool filled his regular appointment at Geneva the ;rd Sun day. There was a good congrega tion and his sermon on the "Good Samaritan" received marked atten tion by a quiet, orderly congrega tion. We noticed the conspicuous absence from the bench of elders of the venerable John H. Webb and A. G. Clement, both of whom were sick. The following parties from Ox ford attended the services: Messrs. Joe and Sam Webb and Mayor S. W Minor, Mesdames T. D. Clement, E. K. Howard and J. H. Meadows. TAW. ltloriahmoneI$. Mr. J. S. Coleman visited Kinston last week on business.

Corn shuckings. candy stews and parties are numerous now and our young people are having a gay time. Misses Evie Sherman and Daisy Fdgleman, of Foster, visited Miss Zela Coleman last Saturday and Sun day and some of our young men were quite happy. Miss Julia Howard, of Mt.

Mr. Pete Thorp and nephew are great fox-hunters as well as for deer. They have caught a number already this season. One day last week they killed a 117 pound buck and sent him to Oxford to sell. Well, Mr. Editor, we are proud to say that we are now located at the well-known village of Oak Hill, and ' much pleased with our new home as it is a very healthy place and among the cleverest people in the county. We find the people pleasant to deal with and we are enjoying a good ' trade. It is pleasant to dwell among such good people. HAMMER. I 6atbereat3Re$t. Died of consumption Mrs. Ella T. Franklin, of Granville county, Oct. ' 5th, 1901. Sister Franklin had been a great sufferer for several years, but bore her afflictions with christian fortitude. She was about 53 years of age, and had b -en for many years a devoted member of the Methodist Church. Her membership was at Herbron, a mission chapel ,on Mt Tirza.li circuit. She was a woman of strong will force and hnd decided convictions and defended earnestly to support the right or condemn the wrong:. She read well, loved srood books and read them intelligently, but she loved the bible best of all and her greatest grief in the last weeks of her life was because she was so wTeak she could not read her bible. In her maiden womanhood much of her time was spent in homes of suffering. She was a good nurse and as such was much sought after and highby esteemed where there was af-, fliction. She took dellarht in minis tering to suffering ones, and would frequently go to relieve the sick when scarcely able to set up herself. She leaves an only daughter, hut band, one sister and many friends to mourn their loss, but "sorrow not as those who have no hope." Only a few weeks before her death, conscious that the end was near, she gave directions concerning her burial and said she had no fears of death was confident that she was saved. Mentioned the scripture lesson and the songs she wanted used at her fu neral. "I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also," "Blessed are the dead which die iu the Lord from henceforth; yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their wrorks do follow them."

One or two doses will make you well. They also cure biliousness, sck headache and c-jnstipati'.m. 18 IS WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS. The best proof of a man's taste the kind of wife he picked out. Love is like china, the finer it the more readily is it broken. . A woman never knows how much she really cares for a man until he is too sick to work. It's a wise girl who doesn't think she is an ansrel just because some man has told her so. It takes sometimes but a single flash from the searchlight of a great sorrow to lay bare the soul. There was once a girl, they say, who kept a secret, but in a fortnight or two she pined away died. What the world needs for its pro gressive development is not broad mindness so much as brood-hearted- ness. J nat critical moment comes in more than one woman's life when she stands a silent witness to theslaugh ter of the one little ewe lamb of her own happiness. You don't have to be very pious to act sweet to the man you love; but to sit up and look pleasant to the woman that you can't bear that's where religion comes in. We have all met the man with such exquisitely refined artistic sensibili ties that he could almost detect a false note in the trill of a bird or a tint gone wrong in the colors of a sunset. II you meet a girl who looks as though some secret sorrow were gnawing at her heart, the chances are tnere isn t it s probable sue is engaged to two boys and cannot de cide which one is in earnest.

Hall, TAKE THE SUNNY SIDE. "What do you think of her as a singer?" "Well I've heard many a bella donna, but she beats the bunch." "Why has the mule never become a racer?" "Perhaps its because he depends on his hind feet, while the racer has to trust to its four feet." She "Do you think it is safe for me to out on the lake alone with you?" He "Why not?" She "Well, the last time I went the young man kissed me." Town Topics. Agnes "Well, Ferdy has finally proposed I knew he wouid." Ethel "Why, you said you thought he had no intention what ever of proposing." Agnes "Well, he didn't have." Tit Bits.

"Only yesterday I trimmed a scrub bing brush with it and it worked beautifully." "It is sad to see this mercenary spirit so flagrantly manifested in politics," said the earnest citizen. "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum. "I have fought against it all I could, but its no use. I can't get the people to vote my way without payin"em." Washington Star.
