The right of Sherman's
army was only a few miles from
Blue Rock, a mountain village in
north Georgia.
The simple villagers felt little
alarm. Blue Rock was a point of
no strategic importance to either
federals or confederates.
One fine morning in the early
spring John Dickson started out
from the little hamlet to visit his
farm, only a mile or two distant.
Dickson was a young man, but a
chronic lameness had secured his
exemption from military service,
and as he had a wife and
children entirely dependent upon
him, he regarded his disability as
a blessing.
Still, ho was a
ate, and on this particular morn-
while he was limping slowly
along tho country road, he
paused more than once to listen
with a face to the sullen
boom of Sherman's guns, several
miles away.

he muttered, if they

Ho meant what he said. This
quiet farmer had plenty of
grit when he was put to the test
Tho walk tared him, and he left
tho road and stretched himself in
a grassy place under the shade of
a sturdy old oak.
He threw himself on his back
and closed his eyes for a moment.
Then he looked up into the green
foliage above him.
A queer expression flitted over
his face, but his gaze remained
fixed upon one point
a careless way he raised his
hand to face, and stroked his
mustache. Then the band wan-
down over his vest toying
with each button. At last it
slipped downward to a hip pocket
and reappeared as quick as a flash
of lightning, this time with a pis-
aimed upward.

DRAW POKER.
One of Senator Pat

Senator of South
who has been making
himself quite popular recently at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York, is very fond of a quiet game
of draw poker. It is told of him
that soon after his appearance in
the Senate he joined in a game
which soon produced a jack-pot,
and some one of the party opened
it for Senator hes-

cards. The man who opened the

The third player dropped out, as
the man who opened had not drawn
any cards. It being then the turn
of the opener, he raised another

How a Snake Swallows a Frog.
The method of swallowing is a
a very simple one, although, if the
frog be large, more than half an
hour may be consumed in the
process. The two bones of the
lower jaw are separate and
of independent movement; so
the reptile its hold upon
one side of its jaw, and, pushing
that side forward as far as
it drives the teeth in again,
and then draws the jaw to
its original position. The result is
that the prey is drawn down by
the movement. The process is
then repeated by the other half of
the jaw, thus inevitably forcing
the victim inward. The snake's
skin stretches enormously, and the
jaw is, of course, dislocated, but
extensible ligaments hold the
bones together. The
between the diameter of the
frog and the serpent's slender neck
is, indeed marvelous, and snakes
have been observed to split them-
selves open by attempting too am-
a mouthful.
After perhaps half an hour of
laborious contortions all that is
seen of the poor frog is a great
swelling that the contracting mus-
are rapidly forcing down tho
reptile's neck. If one liberates
the captured before it is too
late, the wretched animal often
seems so overcome by fear, or per-
haps stupefied by the serpent's
saliva, that it will not leap, but
crawls in a painful manner. We
must not allow ourselves to be
duped into a mistaken
however, for such is the
justice of the case. Large frogs
esteem small snakes a particular

ETIQUETTE OF
Correct Deportment for Both
Bride and Groom.
a. Pew Valuable Points for the
No Longer the
roper Caper for Everybody to
Kiss the Bride.
Almost every day in our
mail inquiries relative to the
of weddings. Possibly the
general ignorance on this point
comes from the fact that it is the
first offense of the writer, there-
fore he or she cannot be expected
to be quite in a matter
which it takes time to become ac-
to.
In answer to the many anxious
ones we will say that if the wed-
ding takes place in the morning
the groom does not wear a dress
coat He wears a formal morning
suit and wears gloves or not, as
he chooses. A best man is usually
chosen, he being the groom's
brother or most intimate friend.
It is his duty to follow the
band to the altar, standing at his
right hand, a little behind him,
and holding his hat during the
service. The best man pays the
clergyman's fee and returns to the
house either by himself or with
the maid of honor.
The bridegroom, if he so pleases,
may present the bridesmaids with
some pretty souvenir of the
such as a fan, bracelet or
locket. He pays for the wedding
ring and the bride's bouquet
Cards and carriages, as well as
the wedding feast, are furnished
by the bride's parents.
The bride drives to the church
with her father, who gives her
away. Her mother and relatives,
who have preceded her, sit in the
front pews. Her bridesmaids
await her in the chancel of the
church.
The bridal procession is
ally formed of the ushers walking
two and two, then the bridesmaids
and last the bride on her father's
arm. Sometimes a maid of honor
walks with or just before the
bride, in which case tho father
forms no part of the On

pair. The bridegroom advances

so that the ring can be easily ad-
justed without removing the entire
glove.
All brides should write a per-
note of thanks for each gift,
whether it large or small.
After an hour and a half with her
guests the bride retires to don her
traveling gown, usually
by her most intimate
When she returns she is
met at the foot of the stairs by the
groom, who has also changed his
costume, and the good-byes are
said, the rice and satin slippers

Wedding cake is no longer sent
about but neatly packed in boxes
and placed where guests can take
it on leaving the house. Such is
the etiquette of a church wedding,
the; refreshments served being
either elaborate or simple, as the
hostess chooses. The bride is no
longer kissed by everybody, only
the very intimate friends being
lowed that privilege. If we have

The visitors to the Central Park

why fox-terriers are always to
be found in the enclosures with
the elephants. It is simply because
if they were not there the rats,
which are many and large, would

The elephants are chained, and
when they lie down they cannot
keep the rascally rodents

business it is to see that the rats

his is wrong and it is an error
that comes from laziness.
Men like to see their wives look
pretty just as much as they did
when they were but sweethearts.
Take a woman's advice and if you

Indoors. Aim to have daintily
arranged hair and a neat and
simple costume for breakfast.
Go in largely for laces. A man
is very fond of frills, bits of white
about the neck and wrists always
appeal strongly to him. Have
well-fitting shoes or slippers as
the case may be, and in fact aim
to make yourself just as
after the fish is landed as when
you were not so sure of him.
Sleeping-Room Ventilation.

It has been proved by actual ex-

The case against S- Otho
son, the Big G- of
fame, came up in Wake Superior
Court last week. Through his
counsel, and he bad a lot of them
too, he entered the plea of
This a Court may accept
and did accept in this instance-
Only in very straightened
stances is this plea made or
lowed usually- Some times a per-
son makes it because he is too
poor to contend against the State,
but this could not have been Mr-
Wilson's reason for making it- As
we have said he had able counsel
and a plenty of them- There is
only one sensible reason why he
entered this plea and that is this
He was guilty and he knew it and
he knew he would be convicted,
and by making this plea he could
protest his innocence and
there would be many of his
cal associates who would believe
it and in this way ho would make
political capital and get some
mercy from the Court besides.
But Judge Brown kinder upset
the political capital part of it in
his order in which he said the
prisoner stood before the Court
as if he had been convicted
by a jury and was subject to the
came punishment if the Court saw
fit to inflict but as the Solicitor had
not prayed judgment of the Court
it would be suspended upon pay-
of costs which were large.
To this order Mr- Wilson through
his counsel objected the next day
asked to withdraw the plea
and be tried by a jury. This, too,
was only a sham to make political
capital. He knew the Court would
not allow it and nobody believes
he wanted the Court to do so- He
was conscious of the fact that the
witnesses had left for their homes
and he could not be tried at this
term, if the Court was willing for
him to withdraw the plea. Judge
Brown as he should have done
refused to allow any such silly
proceedings and Mr. Wilson was
in the. hands of the Sheriff until
the costs were paid- This looks
as if he nothing about
eon's band during the last cam-
when he was protesting
innocence- He ought to feel
thankful that the Court was so
lenient with a confessed criminal
of a crime of such grave
Maybe he will not wish to
risk such another chance of getting
into the penitentiary.
Our Virginia exchange, the
Orange Observer, last week enter-
ed upon its thirteenth volume with
bright prospects for the future-
How much the Reflector esteems
the Observer can be judged from
the frequency of our clippings
from it- We never miss reading a
number that comes to this office.
The Observer seeks patronage on
merit, and does not offer three
pictures, an oyster stew, a house
and lot or a trip to Hawaii in order
to get subscribers-
Gen. E- Kirby Smith died last
week. He was the only surviving
one of the regular generals of the
Southern Confederacy. He was a
born soldier, a noble Christian
gentleman, and lived to a good old
age- No country can boast of a
nobler set of men than were the
Generals on the Southern side in
the late war and their memories
long be cherished by every
lover of pure manhood.
There is a lively contest being
waged for the Raleigh postmaster,
ship between C- M- Busbee and
W. C. Stronach- Mr. Busbee is
endorsed by Senators Ransom and
Vance and Mr- Stronach has
strong backing in the person of
Hon- B. H- Bonn.

eminent office for a long term of
years without that they
are servants, instead of masters-
New men and new methods are
wanted in every branch of the gov-
service, as must soon be-
come apparent to every member o f
the cabinet who examines into
details of his department, and
indications are that that is now
being more thoroughly done than
ever before.
It is not often that a new official
is so well fitted to assume his
duties as ex-Congressman Stump,
of Maryland, who is to Super-
of Immigration, a
to which he was this week
nominated. He was chairman of
the House committee on
during the last Congress and
is the author of the new
law, which, by the way, would
never have gotten through the
House if it bud not been for his
untiring efforts in its behalf.
After the Senate disposes of the
cases of the appointed Senators,
now under discussion, take
up the resolution providing for an
investigation of the charge of
embezzlement against Senator
Roach.

there is no probability of ever

Now to the farmers of Eastern

a heavy tobacco which is used for
plug purposes and for which they
realize from three and one half
to seven cents per pound. They

for the Production of this
Grade of Tobacco.
A few days ago we had a long
talk with an experienced tobacco-
and in the course of his talk
he said that the world was looking
mainly to Eastern North Carolina
for the production of her bright
tobacco, that the Central and
Western part of the State were
annually falling off in the
of this grade, the demand for
which is increasing much faster
than any other class of tobacco.
Said he, your farmers have it in
their power to become one of the
most independent as well as the
most prosperous people of any sec-
that I know of in the world.

We are informed by reliable
that a Pitt county farmer
carried a load of his tobacco to a
certain market and that the ware-

he had been selling his tobacco.
He told him that he had been sell-

whereupon the warehouseman told
him that ho had lost money by
selling in Greenville, that he, the
warehouseman, had been selling
tobacco for one of the Greenville
buyers and was making for him

above all things admire an

getting tobacco to his house for
the small amount of commission
there is in it for him, he is so far
