C, May 3rd.- We wrote you last week but after we had sealed and directed what we had written we be- thought ourselves, and behold it Thursday and not day, and as your weekly comes out on Thursday morning of course we were one day too late. So we decided that we would be on time this week and send this in on Tuesday and if in you wisdom you see fit to publish this, with any of last week's that you may deem proper, then let it come. On Thursday evening of last week about twenty of our young men and fair with a sufficiency of the older people of the community as met here about sun- set expecting to go to Ayden to hear Rev. Mr. of Wash- preach. Because of those things that are at times able the whole crowd were dis appointed in going to Ayden, but were not disappointed in having splendid social time. We all gathered at the home of Jackson and were highly enter- by several recitations rendered by Miss Lizzie Hines, our very efficient teacher. Mrs. Carrie and Miss Pearl Jackson gave us a few choice pieces that were well rendered, then we had songs and a real good time until o'clock told us that it was time for working people to repair to their own homes. All went home feeling that there are more ways than one for people to get good out of this fleeting life. Friday of this week will be commencement day with the graded school at ton. Prof. Carlile, of Wake Forest, will deliver the literary address at Dinner will on the grounds at p. m. and a game of ball at p. m.

They are still explaining that last Wake county mass meeting just like there was not another one coming. Whether you know it or not, the good roads sentiment is something that is growing in Pitt county. Chicago is claiming to have seen the comet- It is a wonder that Atlanta had not for- ward with the discovery.

Quite a remarkable age for a North Car- newspaper. The News ranks high in the list of weekly newspapers and makes its pres- felt in the State. On Friday Governor Kitchin appointed C.

Mr. Brown has clerk of the commission several year and fully under- stands the duties of the office. other business have the same right to depend on your age for their business. It is evident that the govern- is curtailing the rural free delivery mail service wherever some excuse can be given for so doing. No service in the postal department brings as much to the people at large as the rural free delivery, and wherever there is any curtailment of the service it is apt to be because the people living along i route affected fail to show proper in it. Every man ought U feel interest in the route on which he lives. He ought to take daily newspapers and use the mails so as to make business for the route.

It is to note such things as this, for it shows that the farmers are waking up to their opportunities. Pitt is truly one of the best counties in Her soil will produce any crop and several crops the same year. All that is needed is intelligent up to date methods, and these the farmers are grad coming to.

The whole civilized world mourns with England today over the death of King Edward VII, which occurred just before night Friday night.

It is the duty of the people to see that good men, men of business should chosen for these the office of alderman is Jone in which the pay, practically nothing, and it requires much of a man's time to fill the place properly.

DESERVES MUCH CREDIT The Exhibit at the Colored School Fri clay Afternoon. The teachers at the colored graded school held a most inter- exhibit in the school Fri- day afternoon. It consisted of a display in one room of the work done in the grades. Specimens of written work in all the grades were neatly displayed, and to a large number of people who at- tended, it was a surprise to see how well it was Their i work was neat, readable, and appeared to be directed by very competent teachers. In an adjoining room was the exhibit of the work in sewing and cooking. This was the first thing of its kind bur people here had the opportunity of seeing, and those who attended were greatly pleased. Around the walls were hung scores of gar- which the girls have made. The sewing was neat, and it was apparent to everyone who it that its value and importance to the pupils were very great. The class in cooking had a large table set, all linen and and dishes in places, and on it were specimens of the work in cooking, such as rolls, tarts, gin- snaps, cakes, etc. The visitors examined the work, the teachers on the of the specimens. The teachers showed the visitors how the work was carried on, explaining the various steps in teaching the cooking and the arts, and what they hope accomplish as th-i courses are adopted and developed. All in all, it was something now, in the right direction, the teachers won the hearty approval all who saw their When a Leads the Band.

I think the farmers in cur sec- are waking up from their drowsiness, for they are their lands better than ever before. They are fertilizing better and are planting more corn and the most of them are i diversifying. They plant cotton, tobacco, wheat, oats, rye, peanuts, potatoes, peas, beans, and are raising mere hogs and trying to raise plenty of h and hominy. Another ad they have over some sections is I when they want a bag of corn ground they can take it to B. P. Cobb and he will make them some nice meal, or he will grind their corn, cob and ail, for stock. Besides planting improved seed they are using improved and labor saving farming They use about all kinds from the riding cultivator down, and raise all hay they net-d. Mrs. R. M.

A. M. COLLEGE NOTES. West Raleigh, N. C, May Excavations for the new and chemical building were begun this week. This building will fill a lung felt and it is to be hoped that it will be ready for occupancy early next fall. Plans for future of our campus were recently prepared by an eminent landscape and accepted I the tees. All future buildings will conform to these pans, thus tending to unify a hitherto massing of buildings. The entire college farm was planted with cover grain and crimson clover during the winter. This modern con- of keeping something growing on the land all the time has many advantages. It vents washing and loss of plant food by leeching and furnishes a rich covering of humus when turned under in the early spring prior to the planting of the crops. The recent cold snaps did not prove very injurious to the farm crops here. Cotton was, here, as elsewhere, most affected, con- cold is stunting it and nurturing the lice.
