Thought Inspired by Observations on Two Classes of Boys in a City School. There are men today who in fancy, at least, are navigating the air, and the most ingenious machines have been built. That dream will be real ized and the air will be filled with human birds. What lacks today is not counsel, but only sufficient power. Go into the schools of the city and you will see there two classes of boys. There is the long-headed boy, who gives promise of thought and inven tion. He sits long over his books and in moments of reflection his eye has a far-away look. He is the seer. And by his side there sits the road-headed ,boy. Pick him out for action. He is into all kinds of mischief and cares less for books than for play. But he will grow up to be the executive of his country. He will be the soldier. He may not be the statesman, but he can be tne politician ana win Drmg things to pass. The same difference may be found among the girls, for every home has its Mary, who sits and learns, and its Martha, who is "cum bered with much serving." This condition is essentially human. Some are giants in thought and others are giants in action. But why cannot we do all that we plan? Well, we are feeble in action be cause of the uncretainty of human life. This little moment of three-score and ten is not long enough to do very much, a writer In the Christian World says. We begin as children. Have you watched the child with his blocks and toys? As he rocks his hobby horse he thinks he is scouring the plain and he encourages his toy with his infant chirrup. He plays at soldier with his little gun and as he builds his blocks into a house he fancies himself a mas ter architect. But if you see that child in 30 years and he still plays with the same tops your heart is sad. We expect the child to grow. We grow ourselves and the plans of the youth have no place in the thought of the man. The boy smiles at the wish of the child, the young man smiles at the boy, maturity smiles at the young man and old age smiles at us all. Walk down the street with your child and observe the objects which attract his fancy. Go down with him 30 years after and see how different are his tastes. And so we walk down life's highway and could now doubtless buy t 4.1 ln.n ZtoZZe, Tor atodr"S' People from different parts of the matters of amusement. Halifax, N. C, Feb. 14 There could scarcely have been collected anywhere a more jolly, good-natured and interested crowd than those who assembled in this historic old town of Halifax on Monday, Febru ary 13th, to do honor to the memory of that distinguished citizen, patri etic soldier and Mason, the Right Worshipful Joseph Montford, first, last and only Provincial Grand Mas ter of America, who died here March 25th, 1775. While his memory has been kept green in the hearts of the fraternity, until quite recently no special effort had been made to to cate and honor his dust, until Mr Harry W. Gowen, one of our promt nent townsmen, and who is one of the most enthusiastic Masons we ever saw, and unsparing and untir ing m his efforts to create interest on the part of the fraternity, began agitating a movement to the end that the remains of this grand and honored man might be placed near the Ten-.Dle of the Royal White Lodge No. 2, A. F. & A. M., and a suitable memorial erected in his honor. So to-day has befn looked forward to with pleasant anticipa tion as the culmination of Mr. Gowen's energy and effort, together with the co-operation of the Masonic fraternity of the State and tha or ganization at large. The day began with an overcast of clouds, at first thought, but finally proving, to be only a heavy mist, which the warm, strong and wel come rays of King Sol soon dispell ed; then bursting into life was an almost ideal .spring day, and by every road leading into town, and by every train carrying passengers, there came swarms of interested of Windsor, who had the undivided attention of the assemblage, and who said so many good things that we could not do him justice here by quoting in part. General B. S. Royster, of Oxford, was introduced and captivated the audience at once with his happy style and flights of superb oratory. Mr. McPherson, of the Norwich (Conn.) Council was then presented, bringing fraternal greetings from his Lodge. He said if he could he would like to bottle up a portion of our enthusiasm and take it back to the North with him. Ex-Judge Winston, in that char acteristic and happy s-.yle of his then paid tribute to North Carolina's talented sons and to Halifax county for her present Governor. Governor W. W. Kitchin then spoke at some length on Masonry. what it is, what it stands for, and what it taught, interspersing here and there with those attributes that go toward making up its compo nent parts. The day was well spent, we were honored by having these distinguish ed men as our guests, and the things we have seen and heard this day will ever be one little pleasant oasis in each of our lives to which we can point in the years yet to come with just and pardonable pride.

It's getting harder every year for a faker to get by," remarKea Attorney I M. B. Excell. "Whatever line a man's in, whether it's pontics or seumg gro ceries, it doesn't pay for him to try much four-flushing. I always think of the case of a man I knew in a town near here who ran for a county office one year and had a bright young chap there to write a speech of acceptance for him, to have ready in case he was nominated. "He did get the nomination, and de livered the speech in great shape, without the use of manuscript of notes. The speech was wonderfully well put up, too so good, in fact, that everybody wondered who had 'written it, for the speaker himself vas re garded as a person who would have diEaculty in writing a letter asking for a seed catalogue without getting some body to help him with the spelling and tlie grammar. "When he had finished and sat down, there went uo a wild tumult of ap- Dlause above which could be heard shouts of 'Author! Author!' just like they do after the first performance of a plaj' in which the actors have de livered their lines well. "And that cry was the thing that de feated the candidate."

"I'll never county and State, and a distinguish ed delegation from the Council of Norwich (Conn.) Perhaps there has never gathered together in the State a more distinctly distinguished delegation representing the Masonic frjitp.rnitv than gathered here to pay a fitting tribute to the honored dead, and to celebrate at the same time ihe ninetieth anniversary of Roanoke Council No. 1, Royal and Select Masters. In the morning at the Masonic Temple the degrees of Royal, Select and Super Excellent Master were conferred upon a large class of Royal Arch Masons. The public services commenced at 3 o'clock in the cemetery, near the Temple, the Grand Master, R. N. Hackett, dedicating the Montford Memorial. Many very interesting and instructive things were said, and the statement made that there was present the sixth descendant from this illustrious man, Miss Long, who is a errand-dauerhter of that grand patriot, citizen and soldier, Captain Thos. M. Mason, of North ampton, who stepped forward and removed the veil from the face of the statue. Then ex-Judge Francis D. Winston presented the statue to Worshipful Weller on behalf Royal White Hart Lodge No. 2.- Other excellent remarks were then made The Halifax County Division of the Farmers Union met at Halifax Saturday, and after the transaction of the regular business passed the following resolution and ordered the secretary to furnish a copy to the press for publication: "Whereas, The Halifax County Division of the Farmers Union, rep resenting over fifty per cent, of the voters of Halifax county, in a duly assembled meeting in the town of Halifax, Slate of North Carolina, on the 11th day of Februrry, authorized and instructed its president to draw up and send a resolution to Hon Claude Kitchin endorsing the bill for the establishment of a parcels post; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, the Halifax County Division of the Farmers Union, are heartily in favor of a parcels post, and ask you as our representative to do all in your pow er to secure the passage of this bill providing for the establishment of a parcels post. "H. S. Harrison, Pres. "Geo. R. Bennett, Sec." A QUIET WEDDING. Kiss Strickland Becomes Tee Brute of Mr. Louis Lucas. BSD On Wednesday evening last about eight of the clock at the residence of Mr. S. B. Whitehead, about four miles from town, a very interesting and surprising marriage took place. There were a few close relatives and friends assembled together to wit ness the solemnizing rites between two well known and popular young people, 'Miss Margaret Strickland and Mr. Louis Lucas. Promptly at the nuptial hour the bridal party entered the room ac companied by Mr. M. S. Strickland and Mrs. S. B. Whitehead, brother and sister of the bride. Rev. C. W. Whitaker, of Enfield, her pastor, in a very quiet and impressive cere mony pronounced them husband and wife. They retired according to the order of their entrance. The bride was queenly in her ap pearance and surpassingly beautiful in a peasant lingerie gown of white silk chiffon made over taffeta with pearl trimmings, shoes and gloves to match, while the groom was be- J comingly dressed in a suit of con ventional black, never looking bet ter in his life. After the marriage and amid many congratulations, the happy couple hurried away for the home of the groom near Hobgood. Miss Margaret is the lovely and charming daughter of Mrs. S. H. Strickland, of near Scotland Neck, greatly loved by all who know her, while Mr. Lucas is a vveil known and progressive farmer. Hosts of friends join in the wishes pnd confidence that all the years for them together will be the fu!l frui tion of the blessed state so well de scribed in the beautiful lines by Cowper: "Domestic happiness, thou only bliss Of Paradise that has survived the fall."
