A Pitt County Woman Makes the Opening Address. The Woman’s Exposition being held in Charlotte was formally opened Tues- day night. Mrs. R. R. Cotten, of this county, a woman who at every appear- ance before the public brings credit and honor to her county, her State and herself, was selected to make the open- ing address. We take from the Charlotte Observ- er the foilowisg in reference vo the openlug exercises: ) It was 9 o’clock when the programme opened, Dr. J. B. Alexander mounted the platform and introcuced the dis- tinguished and gifted Mrs. Robert Cot- ten, who had been chosen to make the opening address. Dr. Alexander said: “Ladies and Gentlemen: ‘The task wlich devolves upon me this evening is one of the most pleasant oves I have ever experieneed—that of opening the Weman’s Expositiou—an exhibit that except in point of magnitude com- pares favorable with the World’s Fair, { congratulate you upon having your fair upon the soii where the Meck- leiburg Declaration was signed, and during the celebration which commend, it. ‘Lhisis but an addendum to tie celebration ot ‘Lhursday night week. ‘You ace here for the purpose of hearing a woman, whe, though born in Virginia, has identified herself with the Old North State, and who teday is known as an advocate of higher ed- ucation, and of all that will edorn her sex in North Carolina, She was one of three women in the State sent to represent North Carolina at the World’s Fair. Her address in Washington, be. tore the Woman’s Congress of Mother’ 3) was telegraphed over the world. She is the length and! breadth of this land as a representative woman of North carolina. known through proud pleasure to introduce to you Mrs. Robert Cotten.” A roar ot applause greeted Mrs. Cot- tenas she stepped upon the plattorm, looking as she is, a cultured, refined and elegant woman. Mrs. Cgiten gracetully ecknowledged Dr. Alexander’s handsome tribete and introduction, as follows: “T am pleased and proud at all times to be considvred a representative Nor.h Carolina woman, but in wearing such an honor I always feel like apologizing to thove 1 represent for having been born in Virginia. ‘That however, was remedied b; my coming to North Caroiina in early childhood, and so I hope it will not be remem- bered against me. mistortune, By education, by marriage, by love for State and solic- itude for her wellare, I dare to claim nativity on the principle that ¢ ’tis home where’er the heart is,’ and under this west I presume to enjoy the pleasure and privilege of addressing you to- night.” The address proper followed. It was {a handscme effort, a glowing tribute to woman in her work, loye, home and hopes und the Observer will do itself I have the! the pleasure acd honor of publishing it in full later. Mrs. Cotten was interrupted often. with applause, and numbers pressed forward to thank her for her noble words and inspiring sentiments.

The editor of the Warrenton Record takes off his old straw hat, which he has worn during all the winter, aud makes his best bow to a young fady in that commu- nity for a beautifal joaf of bread: which was baked by the fair one herself and presented . to the “worthy editor. That is business. There is yet hope for the profession. We trust that we are about to euter upon anew era, one that will be fraught with untold and unnum- bered blessings, a large portion of them coming in the shape of loaves of bread. There 1s something substantial about such gifts. They make better men of us, and, for a time, at least, the whole world seems brighter. The Record man al- ‘ yeady exhibits more snap and ability. Every line in his paper last week was stronger and there was a much better makeup noticeable. -Enitors bave been the recipients of variovs things for nundreds of years, but not the kinds that copquer hunger. They write ~ handsowe uotices about weddings bat never wot any of the cake. . They write obituaries that fre- “quently cause other prominent ‘ gitizens to hasten their departure in order to get a flattering death notice» But,when the estate is ” divided no property goes to the pooreditor. We publish miles of matter about six hundred pound hogs, but nary ham do we get. We publish the biography of cows gaia to give five gallons of milk per day, but drink coffee without cream Sunday morning and Adam's ale the balance of. the week. After writing tons of matter about twin calves we find it necessary to wear horsenide shoes and eat steak which may or way not be beef. We get per- mission to write up all the fifteen pound turoips and potatoes in the community and have to eat _ poke salad every spring. In short, we must ran a free show and pay the band and keep the —tentrepaired.

You cannot have all play And sunshine every day ; When troublés come, I say, why don’t you laugh ? Why don’t you laugh? ’Twill ever help to soothe, The aches and pains ; no road in life is smooth ; There’s many an unseen bump, And many a hidden stump O’er which you’il have to jump.

A woman is never quite 80 proad as wuen she first goes out with a brand new baby in a brand new coach. When a woman begins to gel uncomfortably fleshy she is “nice and plump.” Her equally stout acquaintances she calls “disgust- ingly fat.” The honeymoon ends wLen the wife concludes it isn’t necessary for her to sit up till her husband comes in.

In looking over them last week he came across a letter written in the dark days ot the war, Which is not only interesting but amusing. The letter was written at | Col. French we have been allowed to copy it fo. publication in the Robeso- nian, It is as follows: January 27th ’64, Cou. W. F. Frencn, Col: By your order we were placed under arrest by Lieut.

Being : ee Mt hunger we went out and Halifax and through the kindness of { nae : A) ; ‘tried to buy something to eat and fai!~ ing to do so we killed a chicker, After killing it we paid ten dollars for it, I will also state that we have paid for the cartridge. We hope that you). will please release us as we think we have suffered enough already, Pay- ing five dollars for the cartridge after having to pay for the chicken is, in our estimation, punishment, though it may not be in yours. I will also state that you are punish— ing the innocert by makiog the guards suffer in the cold guarding us.
