Harrell & Co.'s store. 2-3-ly. S. H. Alley, Professional hotographer, Tooths Compunioa. A Colonel in a Southern camp over heard an excited soldier venting his rage in furious profanity. Tbe man, red-faced and big of muscle, had been a local bully and lawbreaker, and when the war broke out he was given his choice t j enlist in the army or serve a term in jail. The colonel was about to give an or- derto suit his case, when the big fel low's arm was touched by a comrade, and a low voice said : "Please don't talk like that." Wheeling round with another half- uttered oath, lie saw a red-cheeked boy looking into his face. T Kj... . n.An T Utla Plato he said. "I didn't know you was here," and he walked away, . apparently more ashamed than if an officer had silenced him. The short but influential life of this lad "Little Piety" in the army was told a generation ago, among tbe other pathetic stories of the War of '61. The fair, delicate youth, bantered and pestered at first by his fellow nrlvates. became the favorite of his ST regiment by his brave goodness and his amiable ways. In bis character re ligion was something more than an ad jective, and the nick-name the men gave him in jest remained as bis badge of respect and affection. At a reunion of this iegiment, not long since, the colonel, in his address to his few surviving comrades, recalled many vanished names of tbe old muster-roll, and said at last, "I. wonder if you are thinking oi the one member who was nearest to all hearts." "We know who you mean," tbe men answered. "We shall never forget Little Piety." Tbe colonel repeated the tale, old but always welcome, of their first field engagement, where the slender young soldier, detailed on rear duty, begged to be sent to the, front "with the boys, and obtained a reluctant consent ; o the terrible battle and the after-scene of human waste and death, "the sad ness of which no life is long enough to outgrow." On the slope of a steep ridge skirting one side of a field lay a row of dead and dying men mowed down in tbe rush of a heroic charge ; and near the head oi tho line, with his white, girlish face turned up to the sky, we found Little Piety. The boys would not bury him in the battle trench, but mae and marked bis grave under the live-oak by itself and sung over it the tune he loved : "Most Jesns bear the cross alone." "Several years later I was far from home, 6taylng at a city hotel, and one day I had a caller a large, well-dressed and handsome business man, who asked me if I remembered him. I did not. "You remember Little Piety?'' "Yes." "And the big ruffian who joined your regiment to keep out of jail, and whom the boy rebuked for swearing? " 'Yes. tWall fiaM it, n-Kot 1 toff n( tl..) same ruffian. I went into the army a desperado, and came out a man and Little Piety's gentle mfluenc open ed the way for me to do it.' " TABBORO, N. C.

Whitehead & Co. The following from a recent writer gives a painful insight ' into what Ro manism does for a people: "The Philippines show the legitimate frnits of Romanism. The Roman church is supreme. She has taught the natives to tell their beads, but has taught them nothing else. In tbe long cen turies of her undisputed possession she has never attempted to give the peo ple any schools- She has taken mil lions from the people by the most out rageous taxation, but has never paid a dollar of it to a school-teacher for their instruction."

(Dominion Co.) The Baptist Visitor has this pointed paragraph : "A new way has been re vealed by which to be non-partisan in our troubles in Texas over the mission work, and that is, not to give a cent nor help to raise anything for the mis sion work. One of this mind may think seriously that it is non-partisan, but we think it is the most serious kind of partisanship. It is that kind of partisanship that hurts, and if en gaged in generally the cause of mis sions would go to the owls and bats, and we would have no more of it." This may be entirely new to the Texas Baptists, but it has been a prac tical experience for many years in North Carolina The "Omissionary Baptists of our State are usually in the majority. Oh for the dawn of day when countiug numbers will mean something to the Master's Cause ! The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. When troubled with pain in the chest or side, or a lame back, give it a trial.

Gallantry may possibly be defined as the politeness of flattery. When you aak for DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve don't accept a counterfeit or imitation. There are more cases o Piles being cured bv this, than all others combined. E. T. Whitehead & Co. Success is a coquette, lover never wins her. and a bashfu ihe sooner a cough or cold is cured without harm to the sufferer the better, Lingering colds are dangerous. Hack insr cough is distressing:.
