Spend your time in nothing: which you know mvist bo repented of; in nothing on which you might not pray for the blessing of God; in nothing which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dy ing bed; in nothing which you might not safely and properly bo found do ing if death should surprise you in the act. Baxter. Will President Taft bo re-nominated next year? Admiral George Dewey celebrat ed the 74ih anniversary of hia birth Dec. 26th. The Scottish Chief's Christmas ed ition was good and far ahead of any other country weekly in the State. If you have made a new year re solution to work and pull for your home town hold fast to it through the entire year. Mr. appoint ed Joseph L. has been Supreme Seawel clerk to tne Court to succeed Col. Thomas S. Kenan, whose death occu red recent ly after a continued illness. One of the very nicest affairs of the holiday season took place in Madry's hail Tuesday evening when the young ladies gave their leap year german. The dance was given complimentary to the Iroquois Ger man Club, who had been their hosts on so many previous occasions, and accepting the expressions of delight prevalent in every remark of those taking part, they could not have chosen a better way of showing their appreciation. The manner in which the affair was managed would have reflected unusual credit even on those thor oughly acquainted with handling such events. The engagement cards were given out, just as announced, promptly at nine-thirty o'clock fol lowing which the ladies had full possession of the floor exercising their leap year right of making the dances entirely according to their own choosing. They were, however, extremely gracious and thoughtful and throughout the whole evening none of the gentlemen suffered be ing a "wall flower" The opening march, simple but pretty, was led at a quarter to ten o'clock, and from then on until one o'clock, alternating between slow, dreamy waltzes and marches for the german figures, the dancers were in one continuous whirl of pleasure. Miss Mattie Josev, dancing with Henry T. Clark, led the german, and both the participants and the spec- tators spoke in complimentary terms I THAMCS I Madry's hall was the scene of one of the most delightful social events of the season Thursday evening, Dec. 28th, when the Christmas dance of the Iroquois German Club took place. The affair was largely at tended, and the unanimous opinion of those participating was that it was in all particulars the most pleas ant occasion the previous entertain- i ments of the club had given them a right to participate. Music was furnished by Forbes' Orchestra of Washington; and the german was gracefully led by W. H. Kitchin dancing with Miss Mary riiu 01 Washington. Others dancing were: Joseph House with Miss Rebe Shields Alvin Darden with Miss Stella Holt man; Henry T. Clark with Miss Mat- tie Josey, Chas. Lamb with Miss Cornelia Josey; N. A. Riddick with Miss Louise Josey; Ashby Dunn with Miss Minnie Lou McNair of Winston- Salem; Joe Cotten with Miss Cleve Andrews: L. L. Cherry with Miss Grace Wooten of Clarksville, Va.; Dr. J. E.

In writing on the subject of good reading matter The Anf.onion says: "Few people consider the impor tance of the reading matter they re ceive into their homes because they do not realize how great an influence a newspaper, magazine or book may exert on the minds of the young. A child has some impression made up on its mind by -every page or para graph it reads and the sum total of these impressions go far toward making the character of the man or woman that is to be. The literature of the home fhould not o nly give the child a correct idea of what is going on in the world about it, but should also entourage that child in the growth of correct moral habits. 'Another important feature of the literature of the homo should be its purity from a grammatical stand point. IJn'.-oti.'.doijlv we learn the rn"'a?ing of words and the correct tie Leggett with W. H.

Mr. Willis Price, who lives about seven miles west of town, in the neighborhood of Deep Creek church, brings the report to town that some wild animal, supposed to be a bear. is playing havoc with the hogs m his section. Mr. Price says this beast has killed forty or fifty hogs j , for him, also several of his neigh bors have lost hogs. The presence of this animal in the neighbornood has created great ex citement and the neighbors are taking it by turns trying to capture it. Several report that they can see it by moonlight nights but they can not get close enough to get a fair shot """at it. Some colored people say th'ev have seen the beast in the day time and that it has a ring in its nose with several feet of chain at tacked. We understand that Mr. Price L offering a reward of one hundred dollars for a foot of this beast that is killing hogs and frightening the people so that they can hardly sleep at night. This is a good opportun ity for our brave huntsmen to get busy and not only capture the wild and dangerous animal but win the reward. Who will be brave enough to un dertake the job.

The father of r-ix children said a few days ago thai he and his family had earned to read during the past five years mainly from the newspapers which came into the home. This is an extreme case, yet moat of us get the better part of our education from the book:-, and papers we read. These are the lessons we study of our own accord and they are usually by the teacher.

Caugnt Man in His Store. Mr. E. DeBrule, who conducts a store several miles from town, had occasion to enter his store on Christ mas day and when he did so was met by a negro about 18 years of age, who threw a gun in Mr. ue Brule's face but did not shoot. The boy was taken in charge by Mr. DeBrule and brought to town and put in chai-ge of Chief G. II, Johnson. The boy was given a trial before Justice J. E. Shields the next day The evidence tended to show that the boy has a weak mind and is hardly responsible for his acts and the justice released him after Mr. DeBrule had been paid for the damage done in his store and the cost.
