Complimentary to Miss Sallle Ba&cr. The following pleasing item was printed in the News and Observer some days ago concerning Miss Sal lie Baker, of Palmyra, who is a stu dent in the Baptist University for Women at Raleigh: "Miss Phelps, teacher of elocution at the Baptist University, has been requested to present again the Shakesperean play, 'A Winter's Tale,' that was so successfully play ed by seventeen of her leading stu dents. One enthusiastic writer in a letter requesting that it be played again, said: 'Work like that of Miss Baker should not be lost to Ral eigh's lovers of art.' "Miss Sallie Spruill Baker, as Her- mione, queen to Leontes, had not on ly the most delicate and trying part in the play, but one which required the player to supplement her natural charm and beauty with real art, to possess a deep nature and to draw upon her resources arid wealth of imagination. She delighted, she in spired the audience, and the scene in which the 'animate statue' of Her mione was presented to the King Leontes was one of intense dramatic effect." A Birtnday Party.

So far as the present price is concerned, we will contend ourselves if they do not act as contrary as old King Cotton. There is much regret all over the county that Mr. E. E. Hilliard could not accept the nomination for the Legislature, at the Democratic con vention here Oct. 7th; because of the regretable condition of his eyes. Dr. D. B. Zollicoffer, of Weldon, President of the Laymens movement for the Warrenton District, delivered decidedly, enteresting, inspiring and helpful address Sunday morning at 11 o'clock in the M. E. Church. Dr. Zollicoffer is one of the laymen who is credit to his church. He has been engaged in active church work for quite a number of years. He has been the means of accomplishing much good; active, zealous, full of animation and enthusiasm; he inter ests you at once, and soon you be come engrossed with his ideas and thoughts. He spoke for about fifty minutes upon a subject of absolute and vital importance to those who prefer to know Christ. He entered the theme with such fervor and earn estness, that one could readily see the desire he had of enteresting and helping those who have heretofore lived in the valley, up to the moun tain hights, there to look upon Gods matter, that it might have the ten dency to enlarge our thoughts, broaden our lives, instill hope, cour age, faith; leading us out from those thincs that would contaminate and imnede our rro:rress in the Christian race, and cause us to lend a willing sprvie to those about us. lhis is the life God wants us to live, and whih we can live, if we accord with His will, and in harmony with His plans.
