“Joe Pete”
On last Friday, our worthy
fellow-townsman, Joseph Cros
sett, following the mandates of
holy writ, earned his bread by
the sweat of his browT. Joseph
seeing that a little mending to
the floor of the porch of the
Fakes Mercantile Co.’s store
might be beneficial, opened his
tool chest and selected such im
plements of warfare as he desir
ed. Among them we note: A
red-bandana with which to re
move the sparkling “dew-drops”
of houest toil as they might gath
er on his upper extremity; a saw
with which to sever the broken
or worn out piece of lumber at
the proper place; a piece of white
pine with which to fill the void
made by removing said forlorn
slab; a hammer with which to
drive the nails to hold said white
pine plank; a hatchet with which
to trim the outer edge of afore
named space-filler.
Of all the utensils that this
carpenter used, none was more
freely handled than the red-ban
dana, although the saw vied with
bandana for the victory, yet Mr.
Bandana came out bearing the
dewy plumes of victory.
The work of a carpenter is a
very much respected trade, as.
Christ, himself learned the trade
when a boy, because his father
; was a carpenter and by the way
! his name was Joseph also. We
are not at all surprised that our
j Joseph, sometimes called by the
I familiar name of Joe Pete,
1 should be well versed in all the
details of the trade of his sainted
| ancester in whose foot-steps he
is so devoutely following.
May the grace of God assist
him in his good endeavors.

The above is the program rendered bjT our school on last Fri
day night as the closing act of the school year. The exercises
were all splendidly performed; for which each child and teacher
deserves the highest credit. An entertainment of this kind is no
small undertaking and when everything moves as nicely as the ex
ercises did last Friday night, no one can say onght but bestow
praise in the highest terms. As far as the audience is concerned,
we shall refrain from saying anything here.
Miss Perrin and her efficient assistant Miss Mary McCrory have
taught us a splendid school. They are teachers of the most!
thorough scholarship and have the energy and pluck to move in what
ever line they undertake a movement. They have endeared them
selves in the hearts of all the pupils and it is hoped that both will
be our teachers again next year.

VOLCANOES Send forth Destruction

_*STAFFof LIFE.*^
FRESH ROASTED PEANTTS, PICKLES, Canned
Goods, Dried-fruit; FANCY CANDY is our HOBBY.
ICE COLD DRINKS of all kinds, GO and let Charlie
fix you a DRINK; NOTHING can excel them. He will

to McCroy. PROGRESS is our watchword.
The ladies of the Methodist
church gave an ice-cream and
strawberry supper last Tuesday
night. Evesything moved off
nicely- and everyone had a
splendid time, especially the
children. The ladies cleared the
magnificient sum of fourteen
($14.00) dollars.
Our street committe has got
ten a move on itself. It is com
posed of men that can take a
stagnant pool and convert it into
a veritable bower o’ roses, a lot
of sore-heads to the contrary not
vithstanding. Did you ever un
dertake anything, no matter how
skilled and proficient you might
be in the art, there will be some
that have nothing else to do butto
attend to other people’s business,
to come and give directions con
cerning the other man’s affairs?
Some of these stumbling blocks
in the path of progress may be
alright to keep progressive peo-;
pie from being a little too'hasty,
but in the main they are only
knots on the back of progress.
Don’t throw the shadow of your
frowns and contempt on every
thing that has the semblance of
life and energy about it. The
fact of the matter is, there has
never been a step in the right
direction that will eclipse what
our street committee is doing.
Just to see Henry Cariker, the
man that milked Pied, out in the
streets telling what to do and C.
B. Cook out in his shirt-sleeves
showing the darkies how to
handle a scraper is enough to
keep Miss Nancy’s mouth shut
even though she did not think it
of much importance, but Miss
Nancy has been to Pumpkin
Bend and Nubbin Ridge and she
knows our committee is “on to
its job.” Let the good work go
on and to the sore heads, we
wish to say “scatter sunshine in
stead of darkness.”
SPRING AILMENTS.
There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and kid
neys become sluggish and inac
tive the digestion impaired with
little or no appetite, no ambition
for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that
during winter, there has been an
accumulation of waste matter in
the system. Her bine will remove
it, secure to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully
restore the wasted tissues and
give strength in place of weak
ness. 50c at Dr. J. B. Neal.
