ANEW WAY TO CURE TOBACCO.
[ eenenmendl
Dr. R. M. Norment told the Robe-
sonian man a good story Saturday
afternoon about anew method of curing
tobacco. Last year a whice man and a
negro raised a crop of tobacco jointly.
oWhen the weed was ripe the white man
cut his part first and put 1t in the barn
to eure it. He cured by the latest and
most approved methods, having a
thermometer in the barn by which to
test the temperature and keep it right.
While the tobacco was being cured the
- ~eolored:man was an interested spectator
Fof the proceedings and closely watched
. He eaw the white man

mometer and then saw him take out or
add to the wood in the furnace, as the
case might be. In due time the tobacco
Was cured and taken away and the
negro brought in his crop. The ther-
mometer had been removed by the
~ white man, but this did not at al]
frighten or discourage the darkey. He
ohad only gotten a gimpse of it once ina
while and came to the conclusion that it
was a pair of draw balances, With this
belief in his mind he procured other
balances and hung them up where the
thermometor was before. This done
.- the fires were starved and the curing
"began. Remembering what he had seen
the white man do the darkey did
likewise. He went inside the barn and
consulted his balances to ascertain the

allright and his tobacco was finally

brought their tobacco to market and

cents a pound, while haat of the darkey
sold for 14 cents a pounds
This isa true bill. Now.who dares to
say that the black manTs method
of curing is not the best? The Robe-
sonian isnTt enough of a farmer to give
advice, It simply tells the story and
lets others draw their own conclusions.

ones, and her faithfulness and devotion
to my mother. My earliest recollections
are of a large white table cloth spread
upon the store room floor and our
Mammy upon her knees before a large
cone of white oloaf s»gar,� which with
a stout knife and hammer she was
cutting into little blocks for the sugar
dish. If little lumps flew off on the
floor it was ours to scramble for. °
When the Union army surrounded
us oMammy� was the last to leave us.
Only when her husband and children
had all departed did she come in crying
bitterly to kiss us all around ogood
bye.� Her husband having threatened
to get another wife if she loved the
| white foiks better than him, When the
Yankee soldiers crowded into her neat
room they said to her oOld woman you
area tool to stuy here and cook fo,
these people (cook having gone), denTt
you know you are free?� oUmph ide
she replied, oI didnTt need for such as
you to tell me I was free I was free
long *tore you come here, the Lord
Jesus Christ made me tree from the
jaw of sin and death, Now you go
along Tbout your business and ITll tend
to mine.�
She had long been subject to severe
sore throats which my mother always
mopped and tended carefully, but soon,
after her husband took her to Washing-
ton she was taken sick with one of those
attadk and neglect made it fatal. She
passed away bitterly regretting that she
lett her old home, saying: ~Old miss
would cured her.� We shall surely
meet her oup there� where she is in
truth free from sin and washed white in
the biood of the Lamb, among the
faithful around His throne."Ex.

same placeI am.� Struck with his
words, the gentleman set down his
glass and turned to luok at him. His
eyes were bloodshot, his face bloated,
his boots mismatched, his clothing
Githy. oThen it was drinking that
made you like this?T oYes, it was;
and it will bring you to the same if

A Big Goid Find,
Frank Delk, ot Jones Mine,Randolph
county, was in town Monday and
told the editor that A. B. Fuller, of
Tabernacle township, found a thousand
dollars in gold last Sunday morning.
Saturday wight Fuller dreamed of
finding money ata certain spot on his
plantation and Sunday morning he was
so impressed with the dream that he
took 4 mattock and vent to the place
he dreamed of and commenced to dig
and at once found one thousand dollars
in gold, consisting of 10, 20 and 30
dollar coins. The meney is supposed
to have been buried away more than a
hundred years ago by some old miser.
Fuller is no doubt the happiest man in
Randolph county today."Lexington

A VALUABLE SHIRT.
Worth $700.
clothes,*T said a business man toa
party of friends the other night, |
wore a shirt once that was worth
$700. I donTt mean. to say it cost
any such amount of money, but it
was worth $700 to me, and I cashed
it in for just that sum in gold and
greenbacks.�T 7
An incredulous smile went around,
and some stinging inquiries were
passed as to what new brand of
~o~hopTT was on the market, but the
speaker never flinched.
oOrack away, boys,TT he contin-
ued, ~~but when I come to explain
the matter you will see that it is
really a simple affair and some-
thing which might happen to any
man who was similarly situated.
One night in the fall of the WorldTs
fair year a party of six gentlemen,
of whom I was one, was playing
poker in a hotel on Dearborn street.
As the night was warm and the
room small amd close all of us threw
off our coats and played in our shirt
sleeves. At first the game was light,
the ante beimg a dime and the limit
50 cents. It was an all night session,
and late m the evening the limit
was raisedito $2, and money changed
hands freely.
~*My, bew the cards did run that
night! Tthave never had gach luck
since and canTt reasonably expect a
repetition of it. I would stand a
raise and: draw four cards to an ace
in big jack pots and get ~two more
with it. Once I picked up my
hand and found three ~small cards
was a fat pot to fight fer, so I came
in and, discarding the :small ecards,
asked :for a draw of ~three, at the
,| same time turning my:ace and king
-tp on the table so ali the players
could see them. The draw gave me
the queen, jack and ~ten of clubs,
making a royal flush. There wasa
number of strong hands out against
| 40 32 it, including one setwf fours anda
full.
oEverybody, of course, played me
for holding.an ordinary flush ora
straight and thought!I was burning
all raises. I was too foxy to do any
of the tilting myself. By simply
meeting the raises iit was easy to
P| conceal the real strength of my own
hand and make the other players
think I had got tangled up to an ex-
tent where it was imperative to pro-
tect my intérest in the pot against
possi}le bluffing. When the play
was «over and the hands shown
down, what a howl there was! One
man, a good felow and a clever
cardyplayer, by the way, was so en-
gry at what he ediled ~fool luckT
that he tore up the eards and kicked
| his chair over.

oTalking about very expensive
debtedness. The example was con-
tagious, and the other players fol-
lowed him. The game lasted several
hours longer, and.as my run of luck
held good and the losers continued
to write their 10 UTson my shirt
that garment was soon covered with
ovalue memoranda. At the close of
the play the shirt bore evidence of
an indebtedness. of $700 due me by
the five gentlemen with whom I had
passed the evening.
oTt was some days before any of
them gave a sign of settling, and
how I did guard that garment in
the meantime! In those days I was
fairly well fixed financially and had
a safety deposit box in the vaults
under the First National bank. The
first thing I did when the game
broke up was to put on a clean shirt
and lock the $700 garment carefully
away in the vault. it was a week
before all the debts were canceled.
Every time one of my debtors came
to the office to settle I would take
him over to the safety deposit vault,
unlock the box and erase the amount
of his payment from the shirt. | By
the time the payments were � all

venir until housecleaning time last
spring, when a fresh domestic, ig-
norant of its interesting history,
used it to scrub windows, and one
of the most valuable shirts ever
worn by mortal man thus came to
an igneble end.TT"Chicago Tribune.
The Poets ana Tnander,
Byren, in the third canto of
oChilde Harold,TT describes a thun.
derstorm in Switzerland which oc-
curred at midnighton June 18, 1816.
He notices the awful stillness which
preoedes it:
All beaven and earth are still, Hhough net im
slecp,
But breathless,
until
From peak to peak, the rattling crags aneng,
~Leeps the live thunder! Net from one done
cloud,
But every mountain mow hath found a tongne,
And Jura answers, through-her misiy shroud,
Sack to the joyous Alps, who call tte her
aloud!
The description is too long to
quote, and, indeed, tso well known,
~bat Sir Walter Scott's criticismen it
may not be sowell Known. Hosays:
oThis is one of the most beautiful
passages ol tho peem. The ofierce
and far delightT ef a thunderstorm
is hore described tz verse almost as
wivid as its lightnings. The live
thunder ~leaping among therattling
erags,T the voice of mountains, as if
shouting to each other, the plashiny

wide lake, lighted like a phosphoric
terror, yet of enjoymvunt,.often at.
