G Hall Winter Nights A Suggestion. ; Darkness falls early now; the long I winter nights are here again to remain ; till spring drives them away. They are considered a burden by some, who I weary themselves in shiftless and vain efforts to light on some means of whil 1 ing them away some source of amuse ment that will aid them in killing time, says the Gazatte. To the man or wo man, boy or girl, who has an eye to the future and who is ready and will ing to use the passing moments and days to the best advantage in a way that will add something to their equip ment for the struggle that lies ahead these winter nights are gold mines. They furnish opportunities for reading and studv which are invaluable.

The Hon. A. L. Brooks made the last speech of the campaign in Greens boro, North Carolina, and it may be interesting to his friends to read the statement which is true, that more peo ple turned out to hear him than were out at any other speaking, and John Sharpe Williams and the State's gov ernor had spoken. And Brooks en tertained his audience gave them their nionej''s worth in wit and wisdom and oratory and when he completed his talk which was an hour and a half long more people were listening than when he started to speak. Brooks has the art of campaigning down fine and he is a rising star. Everything. Child Bride is Sent Home. Raleigh correspondent of Charlotte Observer of November 16th says: To day the little girl-bride, Amanday, who is evidently but little over 18 years of age, was sent to her mother, whose home is at Ty-Ty, Ga., the Sunshiners having raised the money to pay the railway fare. The little creature was deserted by her boy-husband,who seems to have been but a little over 16 years of age in this city, about two months ago and has been most kindly cared for since by new friends who became greatly attached to her. Her case is a very sad one. Little and young as she is, yet it seems that she was regu larly married by a minister in the house of her mother to a boy who at tended school and who, it is said, lives in Boston. She saTs that he claimed to have been bora in Cuba. She has. never heard a word from him since he left her. He told her she would never see or hear from him again and that he was going to Richmond. The child is so small that her head hardly comes to the shoulders of an average girl of 12 years of age. in and see what low prices and o My Burning of Mr. Hesters House. On the night of the 12th of Novem ber my house and nearly all of the contents was destroyed and no insur ance. It was purely an accident. I was careful with fire about my premises always. The cause must have been some defect about the fire place up stairs, as that was where it caught, and it had such advantage of the help we had that it was impossible to save anything except the contents of two rooms on the lower floors. It was about 10 o'clock at night. The house had been newly painted, and to build such a house now would cost nearly 2,000. The neighbors and friends have and are responding to my suf-' fering in every way. I have moved in a good large house at Creedmoor, Mrs. Kate Freeman the widow of the late E. E. Freeman de ceased. I lived one mile east of Creed moor, and have been and at present a rural mail carrier on Route 1 from Creedmoor and travel through a part of Wake county every day. The patrons both white and colored have come to my relief grand and no ble. It has been and is very discour aging and but for the sympathy of the people at once, in my distress, I could not have carried the mail another day. A poor widow woman on my mail route come out and said the widows mite was small, but she remembered my father, the late Rev. B. B. Hester, and the love she had for him and me too, she gave me a contribution which I call great. I carried Insurance for several voars in the Granville Home Branch but thinking there was so little danger because I was careful about my house with fire let it drop. Miss Marj- Hardy was boarding with us and was one of the teachers at the Creedmoor Graded School, and everything she had in her room was burned,and she and my wife and daugh ters were the principal ones that carried out what things we saved. The neigh bors who found it out came and done faithful work. BENJAMIN L. HESTER. Taken as directed it becomes the great est curative agent for the relief of suffering humanity ever devised.

There was no glory in his taking off no part of his dissipated life that c.ills for emulation and yet today in the state which was his home, we dare say that at least ten thousand men and women are following in his footsteps becoming drugged and doned arjvi jm beeile and murder Is not to be re garded as Impossible, to. am one of them when the drug finally hColdfj full and undisputed sway. The. .Matthews case while fresh in the ' minds of the people should be made the text of a thousand sermons; if should be used by honest reformers when the legislature meet aud the physicians who are dope tieiids, and there are many of them, should be de nied the right to practice their profes sion. The sale of dope should be more carefully guarded the mothers and fathers should be more fully informed concerning its insidious aud irresistable charms. Pile Cure.
