Woman’s love for dry goods has broken up almost as many homes as man’s love for wet goods.

Lightning and good looks are somewhat alike. They seldom strike twice in the same place.

Miss Margaret Keith and Neil McKeithan went to Charlotte Sunday to see John Keith, who is taking hospital treatment.

Mrs. Kate Buchan of Manley was at the bedside of her sister, Mrs. Smith, last week, and part of this week, during her illness and death.

It has been our observation that a man never generates more enthusiasm than when he is trying to sell something he has no use for.

Mrs. W.H. Thompson of Maxton came up last week to be at the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Harriet Ann Smith, during her illness and death.

Many papers have printed the picture of Abe Lincoln recently, but the best picture of him we ever saw is the one on a $5 bill.

Mrs. A.B. Johnson left last week for Tampa, Florida, to spend a while with her nephews, Messrs. J.H. and Alonzo Gunter.

As one man said yesterday, in towns like Chicago you’re run down by autos and in the smaller towns by gossips.

Hotel Vass has a new manager, Mr. D.L. Chappell, who comes here from Ayden, where he kept the Beverly House for several years. He took possession last Monday, and makes his bid for patronage on his experience as a hotel man and the assurance of a fair dealing and good treatment to all who favor him with their custom. As Mr. and Mrs. Chappell have long been catering to the traveling public we may predict, and certainly hope for, a renewed popularity and patronage for the hotel. The upper floor is to be entirely finished and furnished at once, giving several additional rooms. The former managers, Mr. and Mrs. Haines and family, left Vass on Tuesday night, starting for Oklahoma, where he is said to have a position probably better suited to his peculiar talents.
