jryS NOTES FROM ROSEVILLE.
c , Qufrestioas for the Considara
of the Democrats of Person
County, &c.
I have not seen a Mews item from
Roseville in a long-time. I will in
form you that we are still here en
joyine our hog and hominy, and
occasionally a mess of white beans
&c.
Our farmers are pushing their
work, some ae through p lanting
corn and are preparing their tobac
co land ready to plant. Plants are
as plentiful as candidates fr office
and no doubt but like many of the
candidates, they will be left for re
flection. Our farmers are planting more
corn than usual and are preparing
their land better and are usihg more
fertilizer, all will plant all the tobac
co that they can take care of.
Prohibition and politics are the
order of the day, SoonUhe ques
tion of prohibition will be settled
and the good old North State freed
from the demon booze.
Of course William Jennings
Bryan will occupy the White House
after the 4th of March next. With
Bryan for our National leader and
V. V. Kitchin our next Governor
A. L. Brooks our Congrnssman,
Major J. A, Long for the Senate,
W. A. Warren for the House and
George Thomas for Treasurer to
handle the Countys cash, we will
be in the boat for smooth sailing
(Amen.)
My main object in writing this
scroll was to let our neighbors know
what a rich treat Roseville enjoyed
yesterday at the close of Miss Ethel
Newton's school. Miss Ethel
knows how to learn her pupils many
important things besides books.
The recitations were good, the
singing fine and the children ac
quitted themselves without a balk.
I want to say right here, Miss Ethel
gave an entertainment sometime in
December last that was splendid,
and enjoyed by a large crowd, it is:
to be regretted that no notice was
made of it at the time. The parents !
of the school hope to see Miss Ethel !
in charge of the school next year at
Roseville. .Respectfully,
JNO. C. VAN HOOK.
P. S. Has your Surl correspon
dent committed himselfon the Pro
hibition question yet? Perhaps he
is waiting to see how the cat jumps
on the question, in view of joining
the army of candidates on the win
ning side, J. C, V. '

Mr. W. H. B. Newell Has Fitted up
His Jewelery More With Elegant and
Handsome Fixtures.
For several years Roxboro has
boasted of her elegantly fitted up
'and well keot Drug Stores, now
we can boast of one of the prettiest
and handsomest fitted up Jewelry
stores to be found anywhere. Mr.
Newell has recently put in mahog
any fixtures, with a beautiful plate
glass mirrow covering one ent;re
side of his store. Since he erected
his new building it has been the ad
miration of all visitors to Roxboro,
it is one of the prettiest small build
ings to to be found anywhere, and
since he has fitted it up with the
new fixtures it is complete.
Mr. Newell has added largely to
his stock of jewelry and has a more
complete stock than he has ever
carried here, because he has more)
room and can show them to better
advantage. You can find almost
anything you want x the jewelry
line at his store; but if he should
not have just what you want he will
take pleasure in getting it for you
on short notice. One thing you
1
can rest assured of he will sell you
jewelry cheaper than you can get
the same goods anywhere else, and
you can depend on it being just
what he says it is, which is
worth a great deal. Drop in and
see his line and his new store.
