The farmers all the winter until Febru ary were saying what fine weather. but with the coming of February we had a week ot snow and sleet sand wiched, which showed up the pretty sunshine that followed to great ad vantage. A Narrow Escape. Some nights ac;o as Masters Biggs Bryan and Percy Tillery were projecting with a poker and a stick of wood Biggs was struck m the eye by the poker.

Once More We Say That we cannot carry longer those who have fallen so far behind in their subscription dues as to make it appear that they do not propose to regard our requests for a settle ment. During the past eight months we have gone to much extra ex pense in the conduct of this paper. We have put in power to meet the demands of the work, and that was at considerable expense ; we have put in new type in order to give our readers bright, clear print, and this cost heavily also. Added to these things it cost us more to run busi ness during the year 1906 than ever before. All these things considered we have never been in greater need of what our delinquents owe us, and we must insist that they come to our relief by settling their accounts as last as possible. A dollar here and there may seem to those who owe them a small matter, but when many people in many directions owe many dollars it makes a great deficit in our collections. It is strange how a man can con tinue to owe for his newspaper any where from one to three or five years, if the editor Will send it that long, and then think hard of the publisher for insisting on collecting the money, or get as mad as a hornet if the paper is stopped. If you owe a merchant one year you are disap pointed if he does not insist upon your paying him. Now, why not be as reasonable with the newspaper man as with the merchant The editor of The Commonwealth has been confined to his room more than a week, and asks that all who are in arrears will settle up. We shall soon have to drop some names from our list unless they make some payment. Miss Futreil's Fine Success. Some days ago there appeared a special in the Richmond Times-Dis patch concerning Miss Elizabeth Fu troll's part in a musical recital in the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston which will please her many friends and admirers in North Carolina. The special says : "One of the principal numbers on the program of a public recital given this afternoon by pupils of the New England Conservatory of Music was that of Miss Mary Elizabeth Futrell, of Scotland Neck, N. C. Miss Futrell gave Paderewski's theme and varia tions in a major on the piano forte, scoring a brilliant success and win ning high praise from the critics present. They predict for her a bright musical future, and said that her work spoke volumes, not only for herself but for instruction at the Conservatory." our Letter to 15. D. Webb Srutland Neck. N. C. Dear Sis: They won't fool him any more with paste paint; they'll try something-else. Editor Saulsbury, Dover Deleware, having used 35 gallons paste paint on his house, bought 35 gallons Devoe for it. He had enough left for a new stable 20 by 20 and fence, and returned four gallons. Paste paint has as many tricks as a bunco-steerer. Yours truly F. W. DEVOE & CO. E. T. Whitehead & Co. sell our paint. The Round Table Club. On Saturday afternoon, February the ninth, The Round Table Club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. G. S. White. Interesting papers were read by Mrs. Livermon on The Life of Shakespeare, and Miss Leach on The Adjustment of Shakespeare's Plays to Elizabethan Conditions. Miss Thorne read a selection, The Trial of Shylock, from The Mer chant of Venice. In addition to the regular mem bers there were present Mrs. Henry E. Biggs of Raleigh, N. C, and Mrs. Charles Anthony Beck, of Wilming ton, Deleware. Delicious refreshments were served by Misses Janet White and Mary Josey. Deatb of Mrs. Drew Bras well. (To The Commonweilth.) The , death angels entered home on the morning of February, 4th. 1907, and took with them our dear old grand mother, aged fifty nine years, to that sweet land of rest which remains for the good peo pie ot God. bhe died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Britt, near Tarboro, N. C,, and had only been with us a few weeks when tak en ill. Therefore she never went home again, until she was callhd to a pngnter one, tne one sne loved so dearly and had so often talked with us about waiting to be there but hated to leave her loved ones here. Seemingly she had been prepared to go for same time and bore her suf ferings patiently to the last. She leaves six children, four girls. and two boys, and thirteen grand children to mourn her loss, but we truly hope our loss is her eternal gain. Her remains were taken to Scot land Neck, for interment. After the funeral by Elder W. B. Strick land, her body was laid to rest in the family burying ground beside' her husband who preceded her about eight years ago. She was a faithful wife, loving and devoted mother and was loved by all who knew her. But our dear Saviour loved her best, so He took her from this sinful world to the heavenly one so bright and beautiful to rest forever in the arms of Jesus. "Tis hard to break the tender cord when one has bound the heart, Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words, must we forever part. Dearest loved one, we have laid thee in the peaceful grave's em brace, But thy memory will be cherished, till we see thy heavenly face." Her grand daughter Nettie Britt. Death of Mr. J. M. Brewer. Mrs. N. B. Josey received intelli gence last week that her father, Mr. M. Brewer, at Wake Forest, was ill. She went at once to see him. Later the news came that Mr. Brew er died Saturday morning. Mr. Josey went up Sunday. Mr. Brewer was one of the oldest men of his community, being 86 years old, and was held in high esteem by all the people of Wake county. He was a most upright, consecrated Christian gentleman, and his influence has per meated many parts of the State through the young men who have known him while students at Wake Forest. Epwcrth News.

Anderson, Febru ary 20, 1907 at six o'clock, Geth semanie, N. C. Most people know that if they have Q been sick they need Scott's Emul sion to bring back health and strength. 5? But the strongest point about Scott's Emu Is ion is that you don't have to be sick to get results from it. It keeps up the athlete's strength, puts fat on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy, X brings color to a pale girl's cheeks, and pre- ci vents coughs, colds and consumption.
