NOELL BROS., Proprietors HOT.1E FIRST: ABROAD fJEJIT: 0 1 .00 Per Year in Advance. Vol. XVIIII. . . . R0XB0R0, ORTH CAROLINA, Wednesday EvENtNG, February 19 1902. Examine the N. C. Year Book, it is the most complete encyclopedia of the State ever published: $i.oo at Morris'. Miss Ethel Newell, teacher of the primary department in the Insti tute is a brave, lady." Notwith standing about ten inches of snow Monday morning she was on hand at her post of duty in good time for the opening. She set her scholars a worthy example, for if she could brave the weather surely the chil dren could. From the Washington reports we learn that Rev. S. E. B?iley, col., has invented a rapid-fire gun, and has applied to Senator Pritcard for information concerning a patent on same. Bailey says his impli ment is entirely original and of a most remarkable character. lt is designed for military use and he has decided to call this instrument of death the electric battle gun. It is a self-loader and self-shell drop-' per and will shoot 25 times a min ute. Who knows but what the Parson will yet surpass the great Krupp as a gun maker? There is no discount on Dr, Hambrick as a druggist, but as a veather prophet he is- a dismal failure, hardly being able to prophesy correctly when it is alredy, almost, snowing. On last Friday night we met up with him on our way home at .about 10 o'clock and he told us positively it was not go ing to snow, though we might have a little rain, was too warm to snow he said. Thinking the Dr. knew what he was talking about we pro ceeded to sympathize with the farmers because they had had no snows to protect the small grain but they are not needing our sym pathy on this score to-day. Meeting Board of Education. There will be a call meeting of the Board of Education on next Tuesday. We hope that all who have business claiming the atten tion of the Board will be present on that day. We would like very much to hear from- the various schools of our county through The Cotjrifr, Therefore we request the commit tees and teachers to give us an ac count of their "schools. We hope to hear that in several districts the people have decided to continue their school by private subscription What djstrict will lead off in this matter? Iet us hear from you. J. A. Beam, Chairman Board of Education. Feb. 17, 1902. ' Gentry-Walker Marriage. . Oa Feb. 5th at the residence of Mr. Buckley Walker, Mr. B. F. Gen try and Mrs. Jane Walker were hap- P-ly married. Notwithstanding the roads and weather a large number of friends gathered to bid GodspeecJ to this honorWl .couple. . The groom is a man of fifty -afid hs great weight in the councils of Mill Crsek church. It can easily be said Mill Creek loyes and 'honors him much. The bride is a lady of sterling character and worth in her church and community. Truly this couple can stand in the best of Ihe words of God when He said "Be iye not unqualiy . yoked together with unbelievers." God bless this union th the richest of Uessings. G.T.

County superintendent of schools of Wilson county, Mr. J. W. Hayes, who was here yesterday, says theJ schools of Wilson county are in bad shape. , This is because of the require ment of vaccination of all pupils who attend the public schools. The parents decline to allow vac cination, as they have absorbed the idea that vaccination does no good in'smallpox. As a result of this 45 schools are closed and only about 30 are going on in the entire county. There is no need of money, as many of the schools have now awaiting them funds sufficient for from 4 to y months school; some over $300 each and some of these have had a three months' term already. "If these schools open." said Mr. Hayes. "the children must be vac cinated. ' I have been on a vaccin ation campaign and I am going home to keep it up News and Observer. Sobbiner With Emotion Mrs Jeff Davis Speaks. Jackson, Miss., Feb. 15. Mrs. Jefferson Davis was escorted to the capitol shortly before noon and in troduced to the joint session in the house by Senator Cayce, who spoke in feeling terms of 'her lamented, husband, of iris distinguished sery-' ices to his country and of . the un dying love of the people of Missis- si ppi for the only(presidDnt of the Confederate states. Mrs. Davis broke down complete ly when she attempted to renly to Senator Cayce. She had been in vited here by the legislature and made a long journey that She might once more see the friends and com rades of her husband in the -historic old capitol pf the state that delighted to honor him, but when she came to express her feelings she burst into tears. "Gentlemen' said she "all -I can say is that the name of Missis sippi will be written on my heart when I die and that I shall always tenderly love the people of Missis sippi who clung to the cause of the defeated man. I can say no more:'' Mrs. Davis was assisted from the speaker's stand, old veterans, 'citi zens and little children crowding around her.
