LENTEN SEASON

Observed by a Large Part
of the Religious World
--Schedule of Services
at the Episcopal Church.
• 'The season of Lent is now upon
the religious world. Its observance
is not an arbitary and useless re
quirement, preserved as a mere
custom; but was introduced into
the Church in the earliest times
because its need was felt, and has
been preserved because found use
ful. It was designed to commemo
rate the fast of Jesus Christ in the
wilderness, aud to prepare Hjs fol
lowers by abstineuce, lasting, pray
er, and spiritual communion to
profit by His life, death and resur
»ection, to which it leads. It is a
time of spiritual rest and soul—re
freshment. It is a spiritual stock
taking a balancing of accounts t
see how one stands in the realm of
spirit."

An Appreciation
Nancy Elizabeth Lovejoy was
born in Raleigh, N. C., 011 Apiil
9th., 'S47. She was the daughter
of Jefferson Marshal and Virginia
Ann Lovejoy. Her father was for
forty years principal of the Raleigh
Academy—a remarkable record.
She was one of a large family of
children, all of whom were from
their earliest youth taught to love
the Church, for which during her
life she gave herself so frcel»\
After her marriage to Mr. W.
Pitt Jones, she came to live at the
Jones home, near Palmyra, now the
home of Mr. Justus Everett. Later
they moved to Hamilton, and for
the twenty years since that time,
she has been thoroughly identified
with the life of her community.
The very center mid heart of her
life was her church. Rain or shine
morning, noon or night, whenever
the church bell rang; or whenever
the call came to serve the Master,
she was there. It was one of the
things of which she was justly
proud, that 110 matter how bad the
weather, there was not a Sunday
when she was in Hamilton on
which the Sunday School was not
open. She and Mrs. Darden went
hand in hand, and shoulder to
shoulder, nursing the sick, reliev
ing the distressed, visiting strang
ers.doing the work of the Lord,until
Mrs. Darden was taken, then Mrs.
Jones went forward to carry the
ourdens of both. .She did not con
fine her minisrtations to the town,
or to the people of her own com
niuniou. but went cheerfully. here
and there at the call of sickness and
distress. Hers was a work to meet
ihp-Master's test: "1 was a hunger
ed, and ye gave me meat; I was
thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was
a stranger and ye took me in; naked
and ye clothed me " And we have
the comforting assurance that these
words must have bten meant lor
such as she; "Come ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the Kingdom
prepared for you from the founda
tion of the world." Among the
last words upon her lips were these
which are an index to her life:
"A charge to keep I have,
A Oou to glorify,
A never dying soul to save
And fit it for the sky."
Hers was "the uplifted eye and
the life laid down " May she rest
in peace, and may the example of
her life be like a guiding star to
others to follow in her steps.

Pleasant Debate
"Resolved, That Woman Suf
fage should be added to the Con
stitution ol the United States,"
was the subject of a very heated
debate on Friday last between the
girls of the Carolina Literary
Society and the boys of the Mclver
Debating Society. Kach side had
been earnestly preparing for the
contest, and every point was warm
ly fought, but when left to the
judges, Rev. Mr. Gordon, W. C.
Manning and Miss Annie Mizell,
the decision was unanimously In
favor of the girls. The boys ac
cepted their defeat gracefully, and
the girls seemed satisfied that they
won the right for the women, if
they cannot appropriate it.
A Jiucb Needed Machine
The exhibitian of the Interna
tional Feed Grinder on February
lytb , was held at the store roouis
of J. Paul Simpson, Agent. Ow
ing to the steady dawn pour of rain,
spectators could not come in from
the country to'see the workiug of
the machine. The grinding of corn
on the cob will prove a great sav
ing to ,the farmer, as it has been
demonstrated that much nutrition
is wasted when the cobs are thrown
on the waste pile. It would be
both profitable and helpful to have
one machine, at least, ia each neigh
borhood. Labor saving machinery
is the hope of the Southern farmer.
