There isa good ¢eal of complaint
among the farmers that their ~tobagco
seeds are not sprouting and many
fbelieve that the recent cold weather
and snowhave killed them, A few
warm days of sunshine will tell the
~tale, and it they are not forthcoming
it will he well to resow the beds.

The old adage that land well pres
reall was equal to half the cultivation,
applies stronger to the tobacco crop
than any other that our eastern carolina
farmers grow. The farmer who waits
until all the cold weather is gone and
then hire a cheap hand to break his
land with a slip shod plow had _ better
employ himselt with some other crop,
for surely he will be disappointed if, he
expecis to obtain profitable results from
such a system of preparation of the
land he expects to plant in tobacco.

North Carolina tobacconists look
forward to the publication of the to-
bacco edition of the Releigh News and
great Interest. The
bright tobacco of North Carolina has
for years been branded by the foreign
world as Virginia brights, and Virginia
has been accorded all the credit that
obtained from the silky texture and
superior color of North Carolina to-
bacco. A few days.ago Mr. F. B.
Arendell, representing the News and
Observer, was in, Greenville collecting
data from this market, to be used in
this edition. He says the objects and
aims of the Tobacco Edition will be to
properly place North Carolina tobac-
co where it belougs and to give to the
world an idea of the importance of
this vast industry m the State. He
spoke highly of the industry of the to-
bacco men of the State who he said in
every instance had shown a cheerful
willingness to put their shoulder to the
wheel and do their part in making the
Mr. Aren-
dell is one of the most versatile aad
fluent writers in the State and having
carefully studiel the tobacco industry
for the past three months, tobacco men
can rest assured that far, and at last
North Carolina tobacco will have jus-
tice done it in the largest industrial
publication ever issued in the State.

Tobaceo Edition a success.

What class or grade of tobacco ean
be most profitably grown in Eastern
North Carolina? is a question that
every farmer should ask himself and
seriously consider, and after determining
this question then it behooves the
business farmer to grow that kind as
near as possible If you have land
that will grow wrappers-wad the price
of wrappers is suffi-jent to warrant you
in mhhking them \then the fertilizationT
of the land and the growth of the plant
should be a question of consideration,
for the same mode of management of
the plant will not make distinctly either
wrappers or cutters, If you want to:
make wrappers a heavicr application of
fertilizer for them will be needed than
if you want to grow cutters, ~for in

| Wrappers the main thing is good body |

While in cutters body you do not want.

| Then, too, a playt of tobacco, to make

good wrappers must be topped very
Jow or sufficiently olow. that) the re-

i thaining leaves, will thoroiizhly de-

velop, and these leaves mustT remain
until they are ripe before they are,

O America, thou chosen land,
Where dwell the noble free,
Wilt thou not extend a helping hand
To those who call to thee?
In thy pride and mighty strength give

No otherTs woes ignore,
But remember Cuba, sore in need,
Lies bleeding at thy door.

O thou land of peerless Washington,
Of Lincoin. Grant and Lee,
Recolloct what deeds thy sons have

From ~tyrants to b3 frieT

But nearer lips implore ;

reason for the activity in the di-

law that passed the

Itis chapter 227, Laws of 1895,

and is in these words:

oSection 1. That~ section one.

follows:. Add after the last sub-'
division of said Code the words
following, oifthe husband shall
abandon the wife, and live separ-
ate and apart from her two years,
the wife shall be entitled to a
dissolution of the bonds of mat-.
rimony, but the husband shall
not re-marry during the life-time

abandon the husband, and liye
separate and apart from bim for
two years, the husband shall be
entitled to a dissolution of the
bonds of matrimony, but the

ROMANCE ON THE ICE.

Reasons for the Coolness That Exists Be-.
tween Two Brooklyn Lovers.

She was a2 poor skater, she said, but

| her escort, who thought she was just

about perfect in everything else, in-
sisted that she could skate well enough,
for anybodyTs criticism and ~that he
wasnTt much of a skater himself, so
they went to the park together one

~| day last week and were very soon on

the ice. Perhaps you might have seen
them, for they were as noticeable as
ever were two lovers from the country
when they first visit New York and
take a walk on Broadway.
Each had told the truth, but eac

spectively was a better skater than she
and he had pretended. When they
were fairly olaunched,� so to speak,
they took hold of each otherTs hands,
and in their attempt to maintain up-
right positions their wrigglings and
sawings of the air with their arms not
in use suggested St. VitusT dance.
oLook out there! Where are you go-
ing?� shouted a skilled skater whom
they suddenly plunged into and nearly
upset. He had braced himself for the
onset, and they split on him, as it were.
She went one side and he the other.
Two pairs of hands were in the air as
if trying to claw chunks out of the sky,

then came the collapse. He went down

on his back, and she"well, she tried
to sit down, but made quite a frantic
and unneoessary effort. The ice
seemed to her to meet her half way,
and there was a Very dull thud indeed.

. oThere! -I-told you so!� shouted the
skilled skater. He was addressing
himself to the young ladyTs escort, and
at the same time gallantly went to the
side of the young lady, apologized to
her very ~handsomely for running into
him, and assisted her to rise before her
eseyrt had found time to do anything
but glare at. him. Then the skilled
skater said to the young lady: ~Per-

| mit me!� Holding her firmly in posi-

tion, he gave her a fine ospin� across
the lake and back again. By that time
the escort had gained a tolerably erect
position.

oHurt?� asked the skilled skater, pat-
ronizingly. No, theescortwas not hurt,
except as to his feelings. He said, with
a feeble gttempt at politeness, that he
was not injured and this time directed
his glare at the young lady. The
skilled skater smiled mischievously,
raised his hat to the young lady and
glided away. !

oFor my part,� snapped the escort,
when they were left alone, oI think
the ice is no good.� ~Would you like
to go home?� she asked, with a shade
of stiffness and threeshades of sarcasm.
They might as well, he grumbled. And
when they got theirT skates off and
started homeward the temperature
~seemed to grow colder. He said he
~might not be oup� that evening, as he
expected to be detained in othe city,�
and he has not been oup� since
Brooklyn Standard-Union.

!
Good Enough for Her, Too,
The resources of a properly trained
Biddy are practically inexhaustible.

| A short time ago I bought some very

expensive hothouse grapes for a mem-
ber of the family who had been sick,
but they were not fancied at the time,
and I asked the maid to take them
away. The next morning IL went to

| her and told her to take the fruit to the

sick room.

oSure, maTam, Oi canTt. TTis meself
thought ye* wanted them throwTd
away!� with the peculiarly stupid look
an Irish girl puts on and takes off
with ease. 7

oThrown away, Bridget!� I ex-

claimed angrily, oHow could you be

so stupid? DonTt you know that kind
of grapes is awfully expensive?�
oDonTt be put out, maTam,� Bridget
said, soothingly. oSure, not one was
wasted. Oi ate ivery good grape me-
self!�--N. Y, Herald.
