On Monday Mr. Calvin Mills,
one of the best farmers of
township, brought the
a large of West sugar
and also a package of sugar
made out some of this cane.
Mr. Mills obtained a seeding of
the cane three years ago and has
since been a small
crop of it each year. He says
that taking his yield as an
mate one acre in this cane will
produce gallons of syrup,
I three fourths of which can be
converted into sugar. We were
surprised to see that such ex-
sugar could be made right
in Pitt county. With such
results made by Mr. Mills,
we think if all our farmers would
put in a small crop of this cane
they would find it to pay a long

go away occasionally to realize

the board of canvassers on ac-
count of several votes having
been cast by proxy. The throw-

the sheriff. It seems that two
men who wore sick and to
get to the polls, and two other
men who were dodging revenue
officer, sent their votes to the
judges sealed in envelopes.
These were opened by the judges
who deposited the ballots in the

One of the sick men died be-

monumental exhibition of brazen

that of certain Western

transportation of troops used in
quelling recent labor
by which these selfsame rail-
roads were prevented from car-
on their business. The
Chicago and Western railroad
riots, under the Debs anarchistic
regime, were the most destructive
to life and property the country
has ever witnessed, and amounted
in effect to revolution. The
strong hand of the government
alone was able to quell it. State
troops could not do it. For this
purpose President Cleveland

numbers to the scene of the dis-
and in a short while
thereafter the were ended
and Debs and his gang were

roads to send in their bills for the
transportation of these troops is

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all ether Diseases
put together, and until the last few
was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
it a local disease, and
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with loci treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. o.
Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure m the market. It taKen inter-
in doses from drops to a tea-
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
fails to cure. Send for circulars

At Jacksonville, Fla, a
street, a large dog was
partly buried in the dirt.
The dead dog was removed; but
the next and the morn-
after that two other dogs
were found dead and partly en-
tombed. A close watch was
kept, when it was discovered
that the dogs had been killed
and buried by a large
land dog, who was caught in the
act of hiding one of his victims
in the same way. It is a
the story in animal life,
and is one of the strangest on
record.
Everything that Go does is
beautifully done. His stars are
jewels set in velvet. His flowers
are sapphires set in emerald. Ev-
of His creation, in shape
and color as it lies bathed in the
sunlight, has upon it the touch of
the beautiful. And this teaches
us to do beautifully everything
that we do. Especially in our con-
duct towards each other ought

star and breathe the fragrance of
the flower- Christian courtesy
from a sincere heart is
the highest form of gentleness,
and so of beauty.
