The friends of Postmaster General

alarmed over his present condition.
His health is indeed precarious.
The Postmaster General has been
confined to his residence iu the Ar
lington Hotel for more than a month.
He was attacked with a case of La-
Grippe which developed into gouty
rheumatism. In conjunction with
these ailments the distinguished
patient is also suffering from accute
nervous indigestion from which he
has suffered periodically for the past
thirty or more years.
Besides all this Mr. Payne has
been much depressed since the death
of Senator Marcus A. Hanna. The
i
loss of his life long political and
SPQpmmmuXirtmt-He has
worked for the past two years al
most constantly, said his private
secretary today. The condition of
affairs in the Post Office department
required his uninterrupted attention
and his industry was bound to tell
on his health. While his preseut
illness is not in the nature of a col
lapse he is now compelled and forced
to take a systematic course of recuperation.

A Gala Day.
Friday was a gala day for the
patrons and pupils of district school
No. 12, situated in Washington town-
ship, as it marked the closing exer
cises of a full four months school
under the guiding hand of Miss
Marcella Woolard, who is oue of the
best public school teachers in the
county. This school is one of the
best taught in the county. It is lo
cated on an acre of ground situated
on a hill, which makes it one of the
most attractive places tor a school
site to be found anywhere. The
building itself is one of the most mod
ern in construction to be fouud in
the county, and was erected after the
plans prepared by Superintendent of
Public Instruction Joyner. We are
told that the community is largely
indebted to the following citizens
for the improved school facilities in
this district, and they have worked
iu season and out of season to make
district No. 12 the model of the
county: Messrs. S. C. Williams,
Mac G. Ayers, Mayo, Lan gley and
Robert Williams. That th y have
succeeded far beyond th.ir most san
guine expecta.iuns is putting it iu
the mildest language po.-sible.
For weeks it has ben noised
abroad that the closing exercises of
this school would be an important
event in the history of the public
schools in the county, that County
Treasurer Joe F. Tayloe would de
liver an address, and that the pupils
would take some part in the exer
cises which would be followed by a
dinner or picnic. And long bctore
the exercises were to begin the pa
rents and children and frieuds, could
be seen gathering from every ooiot
dred or more had assembled at the
glad hour. Just after the meeting
was called to order, in appropriate
words, Mr. S. C. Williams stepped
torward and introduced to the audi
ence Treasurer Joe F. Tayloe, the
orator ot the day. Mr. layloe
announced for his subject: "The
advantages of good schools to the
rural districts," and for an hour
and a half held his audience spell
bound in the discussion of his great
theme, and gave an onward impulse
to public education that will bear
abundant fruit in the luture.
After Mr. Tayloe had concluded
his remarks the exercises of the pu
pils began and passed off without a
hitch or jar, much to the credit ot the
little folks and Miss Marcella Wool
i ard the teacher, who for four months
had labored, to not only improve
the minds of her pupils, but their
hearts as well. The execises of the
little folks proved to be a decided
triumph to Miss Wojlard, and many
were the congratulations showoted
down upon her on her success.
Then came the dinner, or the picnic,
as some prefer to eall it, and a din
ner indeed it proved to be, such as
a North Caroliua host only can
serve. After all were fi.led and the
proverbial twelve baskets full were
taken up, the people began to turn
their faces homeward alter haviug
engraved on their hearts the memo
ries of one of the most pleasantly
spent days of their lives.
