FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1904.
— The aldermen of Greenville
have declared the dispensary
victorious
Pine Tobacco
The tobacco board of Greeeville
have sent a 300 pound box of fine
tobacco with the North Carolina
exhibit at the St Louis exposition
We venture the prediction that no
finer tobacco will be on exhibition
than that from Pitt county.-Green
ville Reflector.
This reminds us of a stnt
ment made sometime ago by
tobacco men that 'the finest
tobacco nold at Greenville was
raised in Martin oounty. We
can well accept this as true
when we recall the fact that
the Martin county leaf re
ceived first prize at the Paris
exposition.
The following paragraph tak
en from the Norfolk Landmark
brings to inind what the Rich
mond Times - Dispatch said
some time ago about our Con
gressman. In substance it was
this: That lion- John II
Small could not be accused of
being smali in but two ways
in name and in stature. —
"Congressman John 11. Small,
of North Carolina, who is well
known in Norfolk, and who lias
been identified'as the leader of the
projoct for the establishment of an
inland waterway between Norfolk
and Beaufort, N. C.,'was a hero in
a fire which recently burned out
the top floors of the Elsmere Hotel
in Washington, J). C. Mr. Small
was one of the first to discover the
fire, and, instead of looking out for
his own interests, began to notify
the numerous sleepers 011 the floor
in which the fire was located. By
his efforts all were saved. He then
went to his own room and dragged
a heavy trunk down several flights
of stairs."
* The Senate Committes on
Privilegos and Elections in
investigating the rights or
Senator elect Smoot of Utah
to a seat in the United States
Senate, has brought out the
fact that no material change
has been made.in the mode of
living in Utah since the man
ifesto in 1890. Instead of
finding only 3or 4 por oent
living in polygamy as stated
by president Smith it is fouud
that 23 1-4 per cent, of the
adult mormon population was
living in polygamy iu 1890.
Lets get together on the
artCF - a well. Williamaton
needs all the* improvement))
it can get. The three greatest
needs of our town at present
are: good attractive streets
some manufacturing enterprise
and an a rtcsian well. We
name them in the order that
we bileive they are most need
ed. It is just ns natural for
a prospector to select a town
with good attractive streets in
preterence to one with unsight
ly muddy streets, as it is for
you to select the dry places in
goiug home iu preference to
walking through mad and

Moat sadly I'm sighing for the bright
spring days.
When the birds will be singing their
sweetest of lays.
When the trees shall wake frou their
long winter sleep.
And the great storms of winter no longer
shall sweep.
I'm sighing for the days when no storm j
wilt disturb
The husbandman's labors or the sport of
the birds;
When the ice no longer shall corer the
trees,
And the raid-drops mingle with every.
warm breeze.
I'm sighing for the dsys when the field
shall be green,
And no storm-cloud of winter ia the
North will be seen
When the roses shall bloom to the child
ren's delight.
And the dogwood be clothed in it's man
tel of white.
I'm signing for the days when the rain
will not fall.
Not more than once in a week, if at all;
Por showers instead af the long raiay
days.
When lightning flashes will their beaaty
display.
I'm sighing for the dust instead of the
mud,
Which literally covers the field aad the
road,
When the bright summer sun shall mel
low the soil, 4.
And ever return ns the fruits of our toil.
I'm sighing for the days when no North
wind shall greet
Our homes with showers of snow or sleet;
When the cold winter winds shall no
longer 1* fait.
And no ice shall lie found for the warm
sun to melt.
But give me the days that arc sultry aad
long,
When I can work to the music of the
blue bird's song,
When the robin shall carol his men Wat
note.
And the wren shall try to tear open his
throat.

A Wonderful Saving
The largest Methodist Church in Geor
gia, calculated to use over one hundred
gallons of the usual kind of mixed paint
in {tainting their church.
They used oitlv 32 gallons of the I.ong
mau a Martinez Taint mixed with 24 gal
lons of linseed oil. Actual cost of paint
made was less than fi.2o per gallon.
Saved over eighty (#80.00) dollars in
paint, and got a big donation besides.
BYKRY CHURCH will I* given a lib
eral quanity whenever they paint.
Many bouses are well painted with
four gallons of L. a M. and three gallons
of linseed oil mixed therewith.
Wears and covers like gold.

Several explanations are given of
the expression "by hook or crook."
Two London Inwyera, Hook and Crook,
were celebrated for locating sites of
buildings after the great Ore, the own
ers often concluding tbnt they must
get back tholr property by "Hook or
Crook." Once voters open to bribery
Indicated It by placing straws In their
shoes and were called "straw men,"
and when prosecuted for tbla offense
they were brought before Judges Ilook
and Crook and often got off "by Ilook
and Crook." It not Infrequent]* hap
pened that a writ of habeas corpus waa
Issued, and as often the sheriff's re
turn bad not the Indorsement "hie eat

and the offender went scot free, which
action the. public regarded aa "bocua
