WHY THERE WERE f0 BOYS.
An Instance of Early Religious Intolerance
in This Country.
This story starts nearly one hun
dred years ago. The characters are
two men, one man's sister, and
thirteen supers.
Both the men were ardently relig
ious and that meant much more
early in the last century than It does
now but they were hopelessly di
vided as to a certain schism. The
young physician loved the sister of
the young minister. This love, being
returned by the sister, seemed to
grow in intensity as the arguments
with the prother became more bitter,
That which laughs at locksmiths
hardly could be expected to balk at
a little thing like the difference of
opinion between two men, although
each of the latter felt sure that the
point upon which they differed would
be the means of sending the other to
a land of perpetual fire and brim
stone. It might be added that so re
ligious were they that each privately
hoped his position would finally be
justified by such an outcome.
The marriage took place in the
good old way in spite of the broth
er's protests. When the divine re
paired to his chamber that night he
prayed: 'Oh, Lord! Give ear to the
voice of l hy humble servant and aid
him with Thy divine power in this
the hour of his great sorrow. (J rant
Thou, O Omniscient One, that no
male child shall ever bless the life of
this couple. Let their name become
extinct upon the face of Thy foot
stool."
The preacher was a righteous man,
and his prayer was certainly fervent.
It is also thought by some to have
availed, for no son was born to that
couple, although the writer hereof is
the son of one of thirteen daughters
who were the fruit of their marriage.

A JUBILANT DAY.
The Celebration of St. John's Day at the
Orphan Asylum a Signal Success.
As usual the celebration on St.
John's Day at the Orphan Asylum
was a great day. Early this Wednes
day morning crowds began to
gather from all parts of the county
In one of the most beautiful spots in
North Carolina. There were a num
ber of visitors present from different
parts of the State, among them be
ing many prominent Masons who
gathered here to witness the Impos
ing exercises at the institution they
love so well. Fine looking men and
pretty and well dressed women both

ly in evidence. The address of wel
come was delivered by Capt. W. A.
Devin, of Oxford, which was a very
appropriate speech and delivered in
a pleasing manner. In welcoming
those gathered to celebrate this day
Capt. Devin spoke of the old and
honorable order of Masons and of
the splendid work they had done for
humanity. He also reviewed briefly
the great work done by the Oxford
Orphan Asylum under the fostering
care of this order and what the work
meant for the unfortunate boys and
girls of the State. He complimented
the present wise management of the
institution. The speech was just the
right one for the occasion and those
who hard It expressed themselves
as much pleased with it.
Following this was the regular ad
dress, which was delivered by the
Hon. W. W. Kitchin, Congressman
from this district. This was one of
the best addresses Mr. Kitchin has
delivered here, and he always deliv
ers good ones. The address was de
livered In that easy, simple and
forceful style which characterizes all
of Mr. Kltchin's efforts and which
render his speeches so interesting.
The speech was also rich In sound,
practical and convincing thought.
The exercises by the children were,
as usual, of an interesting character
and much enjoyed by everybody.
The beautiful singing showed how
excellently they had been trained.
What a beautiful sight it was to be
hold this company of bright and
happy boys and girls singing, and to
know they were being trained in this
splendid home for a life of happiness
and usefulness. And just here we
would commend the able and judi
cious management of this noble in
stitution by Col. Hicks, ably assisted
byMlssBemls and his excellent corps
of teachers. It was never managed
better. The children are well cared
for and are always cheery, neat and
happy. They are well clothed, and
are given plenty of exercise and
enough work, together with the dis
cipline they need. They are uniform
ly kind and polite and show that
they are not neglected either socially
or morally. Of course they are also
well taught in school. Much credit
is due Col. Hicks and his efficient
helpers and managers.
There were baskets brought both
by town and country people and a
fine dinner was served in the grove.
Altogether the day was a successful
and joyous one. The bright young
men and women were out in great
numbers and all seemed to be mak
ing good use of the time for saying
words to please cupld. There was
very good order and nothing hap
pened to mar the pleasure of the oc
casion. Prolific County.

The gubernatorial campaign In
North Carolina two and a half years
ago was marked with many features
of special and novel Interest, and the
active and effective work on the

Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair

gallons of their paint to cover the

Our agent put It at 125 or less. It
took 115.
We saved them 35 gallons of paint
and painting ( worth 4 to .$ 5 a gal
lon, as the painting costs two or
three times as much as the paint)
less 15 cents a gallon on 115 gallons.
Say 140.
