Sobriety and thrift are the worst en .icinies of discontent. Lying is the vice of the foolish and Uhe sword of the wise. Ont of the mouth of babies man is /sften taught to wake up. There is no complaint of a lack of ipatronage of home festivals. A man may not be content with his lot and yet make his home on it. The gift of speech has made it easier for many of us to peach than do. Improvements do not cost so much in the long run at the lack of them.

Lewis Tomkins, Brown’s brother-in-law, told Sheriff Gammon where he was. The sheriff gave Louis Tompkins $lO to tell him where Henry could be found. As an illustration of how much de pends on the point of view, we have but to cite the fact that the freshman regards the graduating senior as the awe-inspiring embodiment of wisdom and discretion. .Esop to the contrary notwithstand- i ing the fox set an example of conspic-! nous wisdom by consoling himself with the fiction that the inaccessible grapes were, sour instead of giieving his heart out in longing for the unattainable while magnifying its value.

C, Branson, the talented expert,gave a very fine lecture on orthography. Showed very plainly that our present text books on orthog raphy contained too many words to suit the wants of pupils. Recommended the teaching of those words only,which ■ the students has an every day need for. Recommended short lessons copiously interspersed with quizzes. CTuesday,June IS. —The institute was opened with song and prayer; after which I’i'of. Branson began his lecture by pointing out a few of the faults in teaching - reading. Prominent among the diffi rei.l mistakes mentioned were: Reading m:.lie: unsuited. The study considered of little importance. Too much routine reading with not enough dictations for seat work, and quzzes for meanings. June 19. —Institute opened this morn ing at 9 o'clock in the usual way, with music and prayer.

The mornings are devoted to lectur ing white teachers in the court room, while the evenings are devoted to the colored teachers in Mr. Russell’s office. It is hoped that much and lasting good may be derived from those confer ences. A Few Pertinent liemnrkr. I heard a man say once, that he had j a perso i in Carrollton to compete with any other from any Wiieee.in anything. lam not an expert myself, but I have heard those talk, who at least have had good opportunities for knowing and they say that Miss Pauline Brown has as f n a voice and sings as well as almost any of them. I watched her closely last Sunday while singing aso lo (I recon it was) and she sang it “too utterly beautiful lor anything* as the dude would say. There was no strain, no unnatural, swelling of the face, or, heaving of the chest or the dying calf ike rolling of the eyes, but just like pm unconcerned person would sing a common song for their own amusement She sang the piece equal to any lady that 1 ever heard on the stage or else- I where. With the proper culture and ; training she will be heard of tn future ■ way up n the demini semi quivers of singing jurisprudence. She will rival any Sweedish nightengale. Abbot o r anybody else, in reality if not in repu tation, I say hurrah for Carrollton, she is our girl, and we feel prowd of her. # » * A rather amusing argument occurred the other day between some young men over the superiority of the singing of two ■ '1 our young ladies, so one final- I lv proposed to leave it to inc to decide, ■ I told them that 1 had never had the pleasu: of hearing, but one of them and could not decide the question, when t a all the rest of the crowd but two Wore in the same fix. * » * What on earth is the matter that so many are cither down or complain ing from the same cause as vegetables, fruit or whit.

Now lie can Run and Jump “Equal to a Sixtcen-year-old Boy"—Tile Ef fect of Six Boxes of Pink Pills. From the Messenger, Wilmington, N. C. The following letter from George Russell, a citizen of Laurinburg, N. C., will prove ] I of interest to many of our readers who may ! ] be suffering from - that dreaded disease— ; ] rheumatism. I Laurinburg, N. C., April, 3,1895. ] Dr. Williams’Medicine Company, Schen , ectady. N. Y. ■ Ge/iZ/rßioi During the summer of 1888 1 I had a severe attack of typhoid fever which left my constitution in a wrecked and : broken down;.condition. Ever afterwards I had to be vary careful not to get the least ] damp for if I did an attack of rheumatism l would be the result. 1 was able, however, ; to attend to business the most of my time though I could never say that 1 was well. I continued this way till the summer of 1894 , when I was taken with a more severe attack j of rheumatism which commenced first in i the back of my head and neck, then my shoulders became involved. I suffered un j told agonies, could not rest day or night, I could get in no position that would give me ! rest’even for a few moments, could not | sleep more than 15 minutesatany one time, ] i had no appetite, my flesh was reduced till I weighed only 121 ibs. The disease moved down or rather spread to the small of the back and into both hips then to the left knee joint. I could not walk up the door steps, but had to crawl out and into the house. About this time I was taken with a shortness of breath which one doctor pro- . nounced heart dropsy, another an excess of water in the Ichest. I gave up all hopes of 1 ever getting any better or even living for I 1 more than aifew months. I wrote many of | . j my relations that I did not expect to live I ] but a very sh'irr. time. Os course I had been under rhe' <>f men whocalled themselves i ! good doctors'all this time, 1 had six of them ; , to attend me during my sickness. I tried ] everything that I could get that was said to benefit people who had rheumatism but in stead of getting relief 1 continued to grow worse. One day a friend came to visit me and like all other friends had a remedy for my ills. Her remedy was Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. She showed me a paper which praised them very high ly. I tolil her that J had no faith in them and as for the advertisement in the paper, it was nothing but mere bosh, But like a drowning man that will catch at a straw I concluded to try the pills I commenced to get better from the first day. -1 took six boxes and am well, my appetite is good, I sleep well, have gained in flesh from 121 lbs to 160 lbs. I have been in the rain till I was literally drenched without experiencing any annoyance afterwards. I can run, jump, hop and skip equal to a sixteen-year-old boy. Any one doubting this statement ean be satisfied by writing me. Yours truly, GEORGE RUSSELL.

C., and made oath that the statement contained in this manu- < script is true in every particular. Sworn to < before me this 13th day of April, 1895. ; M. K. Jones, J. P.
