appear, behind the poplars, a
couple who placed themselves on
the other side of my rod, about ten
feet distant.
They were a middle-aged man
and a lady, young and very
pretty. The gentleman, clean-
clothed entirely in black,
had a very correct air and a very
severe countenance; the lady in a
gray dress and straw
trimmed with blue ribbons, was
plump, and very lively.

A Colossal Pia.
Perhaps the largest pie ever
made was that baked at
Dale, Yorkshire, in 1887, on the
occasion of the Queen's jubilee.
The dough was made up into two-
stone lots and then welded to-

at a time. Of meat the pie con-

a calf and a sheep. The dough
weighed stone, while the
toes which found a temporary rest-
place within it represented the
goodly weight of stone.
It was baked in a specially
oven for four and a half
ours, under the superintendence
of a of matrons. It was then
placed on a trolley and drawn by-
two horses through the streets to a
field, where it was cut into
segments and formed the meal of
many a hungry man and woman.
Although 2.000 people dined from
it, they left enough to have pro-

The Care of Colds and the Time
to Treat Samoan Tea,
Where Met of the
Prod u end.
When one becomes chilled, or
takes cold, the mouths of myriads
of little sweat glands are suddenly
closed, and the impurities which
should pass off through the skin
forced back at the interior of
the body, vitiating tho blood and
putting extra work on the lungs
and other internal organs. Just
beneath the surface of the skin, all
over the body, there is a network
of minute blood vessels, finer than
the finest lace. When one is
chilled, the blood is forced from
these capillary vessels into one or
more of the internal organs, pro-
inflammation or
and thus often causing
dangerous to life.
The time to treat a cold is at the
earliest possible moment after you
have taken it And your prime
object should be to restore the
perspiration and the capillary
circulation. As soon, then, as you
feel that you have taken cold have
a good fire in your bedroom. Put
your feet into hot water, as hot as
can be borne, and containing a
tablespoonful of mustard. Have
it in a vessel so deep that the water
will come up well toward the knees.
Throw a blanket ever the whole

cooling. In from five to min-
take the feet out, wipe them
dry, and get into a bed on which
there are two extra blankets. Just
before or after getting into bed

water containing a teaspoonful of
cream tartar, with a little sugar,

Should there be a pain in the
chest, side or back, indicating
pleurisy or pneumonia, dip a small
towel in cold water and wring it
as dry as possible. Fold fowl
so that it will cover a more
surface than is affected by the pain.
Cover this with a piece of flannel,
and both with oiled silk, or better,
with oiled linen; now wind a strip
of flannel a foot wide several times
around the chest The heat of tho
body will warm the almost
immediately, the oiled linen and
flannel will retain tho heat and
moisture, and steaming the part
will generally cause the pain to
disappear.
Should there be pain or soreness
in the throat, you should treat in a
similar manner with wet compress
and flannel bandage Eat spar-
of plain, simple food. Baked
apples and other fruit, bread and
butter, bread and milk, mild toast,
baked potatoes or raw oysters may
be eaten. By following the
directions intelligently and faith-
fully you will ordinarily check the
progress of tho cold, and prevent
serious, possibly fatal,
change.
Hints for
Clean your mirrors with soft
paper instead of cloth. We have
seen this advice repeated
times, and yet we see cloth
constantly used, with its usual
accompaniment of lint and trouble.

The Governors of the Southern
States held a meeting in Richmond
last week. Governor of
Arkansas was elected chairman of
the meeting. The discussion of
various questions was timely and
cannot fail to result in much good
to the South- The suggestion for
this meeting was a wise one and
the meeting was a success in the
broadest of the word. Our
own Governor Carr was a
figure in the body and
North Carolina with credit
to himself and honor to the whole
State. Should the suggestions
made by the body be successfully
put in operation incalculable good
will result to every State that was
represented in the body-
who was tried in North-
last week for murder, was
acquitted. The accused was
by as able counsel as North
Carolina can produce, among
whom was Senator Ransom.
There was much surprise at the
verdict. How much better it
would be the State if those
who are guilty of crime were pun-
There are plenty of people who
would like to prevent ministers of
the gospel from preaching
and morality. There are also
plenty of people who would like to
choke the press Sun.
Just give those people their way,
silence the from the pulpit
and press, remove from our nation
the influence they exert, and in a
few short years enlightened Amer-
would present a worse scene of
heathenism than can found in
the wilds of Africa.
Senator put a different
phase upon the resolution of the
Republicans in the United States
Senate by coming forward and de-

charges made against him. They
had not expected this and were
trying to make political capital by
pretending to want to investigate.

Last Thursday was the day for
Alliance meetings all over tho
State wherever have county
organizations. Judging from ac-
counts in our exchanges re
ports from many of these meetings
show that instead of in the
interest of the Alliance -and the
farmer, they were simply for de-
the last Legislature
passing resolutions calculated to
stir up further political strife. It
seems that this is not the case so
far as Pitt county is concerned.
After the meeting here was over
we asked one of the most
members of the Alliance, a
man who is a through Democrat
and whose integrity can always be
relied upon, if anything of general
interest that he could make public-
bad transpired, or if the Third
element tried to take charge
and run the meeting in the inter-
est of that party. He said no,
only matters pertaining to the in-
the Alliance were discuss-
ed and nothing presented in the
meeting had any political
that the Third party
were sufficiently amused at
the they cut last year in try-
to take the Alliance into
tics, and he thought they had con-
it best to hereafter let well
enough alone. If the Alliance will
follow out this line it can yet
prove a blessing to the farmer.
The tendency of the times seems
to drift more and more toward
mixing the and the world
up together, and no wonder
that there are those who think and
say the world is as good as the
church. The church festivals are
losing much of their sacredness
and significance because of the
with which they are held.
A few Sundays ago the churches
of our land were holding Easter
services commemorative of a risen
and ascended Savior of the world,
and since then there have been
numerous accounts in the papers
of
Easter Card
and goodness
knowns what else that the world
tries to make popular and
table by prefixing the name of this
sacred church festival. Strange it
is. too, that there are so many
church members who lend their
influence to the prostitution of
these sacred names. They go into
the sanctuary one day to worship
the Christ in an Easter service,
and next day participate with
the world in an
Let the world have its balls, its
card parties, and all such if it will,
but for religion's sake keep the
name of Savior and the

countenance to these
things they would lose much of
their popularity.

A Tree Planting Day.
Wilmington Messenger.
North Carolina has an Arbor
Day at last. It is called
Planting which is a better
name tor it. This editor has been
hammering at that for lo these
many years. The last legislature
passed a bill making 12th of Feb-
a public school holiday for
tree planting. That is, we sup-
pose as far as the act contemplates
going. The State at large needs
such a day for planting
trees in all the towns and villages,
in all the homes, and upon all tho
waste places of farms.

BEAUTIFUL BUILDING LOTS.
Desirable Location for Home Seekers.
On the south- western border of Green-
ville and lying just the College
grounds is a beautiful tract of land that
is about to be placed the market
for residence lots. This tract of land,
containing acres. Is what was known
as the Marcellus Moore farm until it came
in possession of the Brothers in
January, 1802. These enterprising young
men have decided to lay this property
off in lots offer them for sale. Be-
cause of its nearness to the College they
haw given their property the name of
College City.
Just opposite and running on a line
with the last street through the property
laid off by the Greenville Land
Company, a feet
wide and yards long has been opened
through this new property. Other streets
arc to be opened and the lots formed in
regular blocks.
It is well-known that to the extension
and building up of towns the tendency is
more or less toward or around the depot,
and when it is considered that this College
City property lies only about a quarter of
a mile from the depot it becomes all the
more desirable and valuable.
A a suitable place for residence it is
not to be It is the highest
elevation anywhere around Greenville
and is far above the main of the
town. Excellent water can be obtained
on any pat of the property, a
vein running all through it.
The property is only a few minutes
walk from the Court House and business
portion of the town and being just out-
side of the corporate limits is free from
town taxes. All these things are worthy
the consideration of home seekers.
Persons wishing to purchase any of
these lots for immediate improvement
can get at a very low figure. The

less than their value, and thus an

About fifty lots will be soon at
public auction, notice of which will be
given later. Those desiring to secure a

Sawed to Death.
A colored man working at a lumber
mill out in Beaver Dam township, was
literally cut to death by the saw some
days ago. In attempting to step over a
log while it was in motion his foot be-
came entangled and he was thrown on
the saw In such a position that his leg
was cut in two at the ankle and thigh,
his arm cut and cuts also received
about the body and head. The man was
placed in a cart and started to his home
in Greene county, but bled to death in a
very short while.
Look at this Reasonably.
If Greenville had a good hotel building
other needed improvements could be
more easily secured. Persons who come
here to prospect would not get a good
impression of the town from the hotels
we have. They are the places in which
a stranger first takes an observation when
going into a town, and the first
ions received arc hard to shake off or
counteract. There is no complaint at
the way the hotels we have are kept, but
Greenville ought to have one in keeping
with the business of the town and that
a stranger could look at and feel like the
town had something in it.
Chicago Hotels.
Mrs. W. B. Phipps, of Chicago, who
once lived in Greenville and is
by some of our people, will have
the management of two hotels in
go during the World's Fair. Both hotels
arc brick, contain only rooms and ax,
located conveniently to the fair and parks
and within ten minutes of the heart of the
city. These buildings offer a decided ad-
vantage over the dangerous frame build-
of to rooms that have been
constructed hurriedly just for use during
the fair, and from which escape during a
fire or storm would be almost impossible.
information desired concerning the
hotels over which Mrs. Phipps will have
management can be obtained by writing
to Capt. W. B. Phipps, Archer
Chicago.
Cotton Seed and Fertilizers.
Some argue, and the commission mer-
chants especially are taking this view of
it, that the heavy sales of fertilizer this
season indicates a corresponding increase
in the cotton acreage. While we fear
that the farmers will increase their cot-
ton acreage this season, the increased
quantity of fertilizers they have
ed cannot be taken an Indication that
they will do so. The heavy
sales Is accounted for by the fact that the
farmers during the past season sold all
their cotton seed, which In former years
they hare been using as a fertilizer, and
now they have had to boy something else
to put on the land In of the seed.
We believe It would have resulted more
profitably to the farmers to have saved
their seed and pot them upon their land
than to tell them and attempt to supply
e place with a

The
A Startling Peat.
The largest crowd seen In Greenville
for sometime was here last Thursday to
witness the ascension and para-
chute leap by Miss Nellie By one
o'clock the crowd began gathering about
the vacant lot in front of the foundry,
from which point the ascension was to be
made at four o'clock. Before that hour
it commenced raining, but this did not
interfere with the A few
minutes to four all was in readiness and
the great air ship leaped up from the earth
the lady behind it. The ascent
was very rapid, and before the throng
could hardly realize it a signal was given
and the parachute cut loose from the
balloon. The next moment the lady
dropped for some distance almost like a
cannon ball when the parachute unfolded
and made the descent more gradual.
Still the heavy atmosphere made it very
rapid and the spectators had fears for the
reaching the earth in safety.
The whole performance consumed but
little more than a minute's time. It was
a daring feat, but too perilous to afford
enjoyment.

Drowned Herself,
We learned last Wednesday of the
Mrs. Jane Falkland
township, which occurred a few days be-
fore. She told her husband the morning
of the sad tragedy that she was going to
the home of a friend to spend the day.
He advised her against going left her
at homo when he went off to his work.
He went back home later and finding that
she was not there began search for her.
From inquiries he ascertained the
in which she went, and following on
found she had gone towards Mayo's
pond. He hurried hoping to overtake
her but arriving at the mill found h r
body lying In the water. On the bridge
were some articles that she had placed
there before throwing herself into the
water. The distance from her home to
the mill was about three miles, but the
way she went to get there covered about
six miles. Mrs. Edwards was mo.-c than
years old and left a husband and
grown children. It Is supposed that
her mind being impaired led to her
her life. For some days she had at
times talked and acted strangely, and had
more than once spoken of an intention to
drown herself.

Mr. G. E- Moore from near

at the Eastern last Thursday with
a two thousand pound load which

he has sold most of his crop in
Greenville. Still there are others
who live nearer Greenville that
sell their tobacco in Wilson.
They soon learn however that this
is the best place to sell after all.
We heard it rumored on the
streets a few days ago that two
more prize houses would soon be
started up in Greenville. If such

Your Friend
D. A. Owen.
One of the merchants of the
town was heard to remark a few
days ago that the spread of
co culture over Eastern Carolina
was killing Greenville as a cotton
market that the farmers of Greene
county, who used to bring a great
deal of cotton to Greenville had
stopped and were either growing
tobacco in its stead or were mar-
their cotton somewhere
else.
The fact the case is this ; the
culture of tobacco in Eastern

Elizabeth Charles I of England
took to his own home. Sir Walter
found on the coast of our State
many curiosities which were
to the English people
among these was the tobacco
plant some of this unknown weed
was procured by his men in their
first voyage and taken back to Sir
Walter who remained in England
while the first trip to the fairy land
was made. Ho soon learned its
uses and one day while whiffing
away pleasantly in his drawing
room a servant who had been
ordered to bring ale returned and
seeing the smoke gushing pro-
from his master's lips and
thinking that ho was on fire dash-
ed the contents in his face. This
fact though a joke clearly shows
that the use of tobacco was
known in England and the old
authorities before the discovery of
America, before the discovery even
of North Carolina a century after
the discovery of America.
It was in North Carolina soil
that the civilized world first found
tobacco growing. It even
more for history bears out that
it was in Eastern North Carolina
tobacco was first discovered
and in all probability it was at
least an hundred miles east of Pitt
county. Notwithstanding these
historical facts and
the fact that North Carolina
produces more bright tobacco than
all the world besides yet she has
never yet had this credit given her
by the tobacco world. Virginia in
this respect wears the laurels that

THE SEED
I used the same mixture on my
plow and ridge up in the fall, the
beds where plants are to be
the next year. The ridging up will
materially accelerate the drying up
the land in the spring, and thus
make possible the early sowing of
seed.
FITTING THE LAND.
I plow my land three times, once
in the fall and twice in the spring.
The fall plowing, I think, by the
action of the elements in freezing
thawing, and the disintegration of
the lumpy foil, tends to lessen the
trouble the next season from cut
worms. It certainly does destroy
weeds and retards their new
growth the next spring until the
land is sufficiently dried off for
another plowing. After each
plowing in the spring, give a good
thorough harrowing with an Os-
born spring tooth harrow, and a
smoothing off with two heavy
planks one firmly bolted to the
edge of the other, leaves the
ground in the desired condition
for the
APPLYING THE FERTILIZER.
There are two principal methods
of applying fertilizer to tobacco
land. One is to apply it previous
to the last plowing, the other to
apply it the last plowing and
just before setting the plants. No
mistake will be made in adopting
either methods. The argument or
theory of the plowing in is
that, by so doing, the fertilizer be-
comes thoroughly
rated and mixed with the soil.
That is undoubtedly true and
where one has a large acreage to
put out it is advisable to got as
much land ready for the as
possible early in the season. An-
other argument that all soluble,
parts of the fertilizer by being
some time in the soil previous to
setting the plants are in process of
being assimilated with the soil and
therefore all ready to receive the
roots of the young plant which
immediately begin their forward
growth- This also is probably
theory reduced to practical opera-
But having had a number
of with the above
and always by sowing
the fertilizer on broadcast after
the last plowing, and having
most invariably had good results
therefrom, even grown side
by side with a large field treated
in the other manner, I am obliged
to infer that it is just as well to
spread on fertilizer after the last
plowing. But the harrowing must
be thorough.
My theory is, that the nearer the
fertilizer is to the surface, and still
have it thoroughly mixed with the
soil, the better. Tho tobacco
plant is a gross feeder, and its
roots do not, many of them, strike
deep down into the soil. Pull up
a full grown plant and you dis-
cover that a large percentage of
its roots strike out horizontally
from just under tho surface of the
soil. If you have ever had full
grown tobacco badly washed by
water running through the rows,
you been astonished to see
how literally full of small fibrous
roots the soil was near its surface
and clean across the furrow. This
leads me to believe that it is
to send the fertilizer deep
