Piney Mount School Closes.
This sohool, with about fifty schol¬
under the teachings of Prof. L. R.
Meeks, closed in regular form its
term last Wednesday,
most favorable auspiceG. The school
is situated iu one of the most
sections of the country, and
was well patrouized by the
ing neighbors. Mr. Meeks, we
is being sought to teacli another term

At the closing Wednesday; the
vices were opened with prayer,
then an unusually interesting

Flanders. The lecturer held his

At the close of the lecture
body was invited to repare to
stand and partake of the ice-cold
prepared for the occasion, and
then dinner was served by the good
women putting their good eatables
gether, and a better prepared
would be hard to find. Chicken
was there in abundance, of the old
pie kind that our mothers used
make, and when an editor tackles

pets of the community, occupying,

The patrons of the sohool met a

not prepare any dinner for the

dinner would be best to make the

was. Great trunks and boxes of

A Destitute Family.
In a little house on the hill just
south oi the railroad, on the B. B. Tan¬
ner place, live the family of Mr. J. C.
Ware, formely of Hancock county.
That Mr. Ware and hia family are
workers is shown by the condition of
the crops that are growing on the
premises.
The family had few acquaintances
and mingled little with the people giv¬
ing all their time to the crops A short
time since one of the family was taken
sick with typho-malarial fever, then
another and another, till father, moth¬
er and son wore down with the same
trouble, the case of Mrs. Ware being
aggravated by a fall sM bad lately re¬
ceived while climbing into one of the
doors of the house,a box being the im¬
provised step used for the door. The
fever continued to rage, and Mrs. Ware
grew constantly worse, as did the
husband and son, deprived, as they
were, of nourishing food, till last Tues¬
day night, when the Wife and mother
died, leaving her two loved ones sick
almost unto death, upon the same bed.
Sympathetic bands laid the poor tired
body away in our little cemetery,clos¬
ing the last chapter in her earthly life.
The true condition of the family then
became known, and the good women
began to move in the -humane work of
relief,and the sick and destitute were
temporarily supplied wholesome and
nourishing food. Mr Richard Lovett,
liberal soul that he is, was among the
first to respond to the call for
and he did it without a word or a mo¬
ments hesitation. Mr. T.J. Arlinealso
subscribed to the fun,das did others,
and for the moment the need of these
strangers among us are relieved, and
We believe these good women will see
to it that no further suffering (will
exist in that quarter.
I have made a special all competition study

The partial edypse of the run
Thursday, caused by the moon
between it and the earth, was
nessed by congregating many of
Wrightsvillians, they in little
when ever they could "borrow” the use
of a piece of smoked glass. The
eclypse lasted from seven till about
ten o’clock.
The white of an egg into which a
piece of alum the size of a bickorynut
lias been stirred, and upou a piece of
lint, is a fine remedy for a sprain.
A simple remedy for slight cuts and
small burns is glue or mucilage. It
closes up the cut nicely and gives no
inconvenience.
Editor Record :
I will give you a few dots from Beu¬
lah. Things are going on about the
same, cotton crops seem to be hurt
from big rains, and now it is too dry.
Corn very fine. We have just closed a
fine meeting conducted by W. E.
Harvel and J. H. Oliver; resulted in
saving, we hope, 13 souls; one joined
by letter. We bad a great many visit¬
ors from other seotions of which we
were very glad. Mrs. Martha Mead
ows was taken very ill last week,
caused from fatigue of travelog; she
is eighty-six years old. We are in •
formed that George Bedinfield’s little
two year old baby is very silk with
whooping cough. Yours for success

Do You Use It?
It’t the hist thing for the

Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature. so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro¬
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re¬
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour¬
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
