Curiosities of the Calendar. The News and says the public has doubtless noticed the increase in the of divorces recently granted in North Carolina. The last term of Wake Superior court granted more divorces than we have known before at a single term. The reason for the activity in the market is found in the new law that passed the Legislature. It is chapter Laws of 1895, amending section 1285 of the Code and is in these 1- That section one thousand two hundred and eighty- five of Code be amended as Add after the last sub- division of said Code the words following, the husband shall abandon the wife, and live ate and apart from her two years, the wife shall be entitled to a dissolution of bonds of mat- but the husband shall not re-marry during the life-time of the wife i and if the wife shall abandon the husband, and live separate and apart from him for two years, the husband shall be entitled to a dissolution of the bonds of matrimony, but the wife, in such case shall not re- marry during the of the Section 2- That tho statue shall apply to now pending In courts of this State.

Soldiers There is now before the Mis- Legislature a bill pro- for the purchase, from the family of the late President vis, of the house and lands of be used as a home for disabled and dependent Mis- Confederate soldiers. Such an organizing such an institution under proper safeguards, would be a most wise move, in that it would not only provide for the necessitous Confederate veterans, but it would consign to a most worthy use a locality that is of peculiar interest to all southern people. The Picayune knows, through a letter to a prominent citizen of New Orleans, from Mrs- Jefferson Davis, that, while the sale of the property at has repeat- been refused, because it would be used for speculative and commercial purposes, its use for a home for the old soldiers of Mississippi would be most to the family, and it would be readily disposed of to that end to the State of Mississippi. Nothing could be more fitting than that place, whore the last years of the President of the Confederacy were spent, should to shelter and protect, during their declining days, the and dependent veterans f the southern cause ; there is no locality in the State more appropriate, not merely from sentimental considerations, but also because of i's salubrity and accessibility. The Picayune will most heartily approve such an enterprise, earnestly hopes that a bill to that end will pass the Mississippi Orleans Picayune- Mother is the captain, is the mate; Drowsy eyes are closing, For they cannot wait.

March some time I have thinking of writing a short letter but I have ti to do so for various reasons. This evening, however, while I am alone in my study, too weak to be engaged closely with ray duties on a- count of the recent attack of sickness from which am just recovering, and while t lie cold rains without assist in my longer consignment to the hallowed confines of my sacred will raw myself for awhile by writing. I have often thought pleasantly of our little but had not realized how much loved it until I read an account of the sad misfortune that recently befell it. It was indeed sad. But let us us not grieve too long over the misfortunes of the past. The past is gone, the present is ours, and the future is before us. We hold the magic keys that unlock the future and reveal to us all the possibilities that she has in store for us. Let us not try to retrieve the past by lamenting one loss, but by moving for- ward in greater strides along those lines hitherto neglected. Greenville has made rapid progress during the past few years but she has left undone some very necessary things. Among these is a good water supply. A fire engine with no water is of little assistance to a town in time of fire. I congratulate the town in its attempt in securing electric lights. This has been much needed for some time, but something needed much more is the erection of factories. No town is complete without them. A great many of our towns and cities are at last realizing this truth and begin- to build them. Why does Green ville not share the profits ; and while a few energetic men are laboring so faithfully in the tobacco interest of the town, why does not some one embrace the fleeting opportunity and the most opportune time, endue the town with new life by setting a laudable ex- ample But I began this letter for my own amusement and not for the town's in- junction. I intended telling you something of interest at and about Nashville, but I have been drawn away to a spot possessing far more interest for me and have allowed myself to dwell upon things concerning my native town. But I hope that in the near future the desire of the writer may be realized and the hum of factories may be heard in our town ; then will this letter not have been written in vain. J.

Goldsboro Headlight. Poor House in Sight. It's a matter of wonder how some men expect a town to grow. They oppose any and everything on the ground that it will not help things. They arc like the boy who expected to be rich some day, though he was never known lo do a hands turn but somehow he always felt that he would wake up some bright morning find himself a millionaire. That same boy died in the poor house. Some they are liar to any locality, for thew just like this boy so far as helping develop the resource of a town. They evidently think the town will develop itself and that some bright morning they will wake to find new inhabitants, with numerous mills an humming all around them. And a town, run by such men, will find itself in the poor house.

What we wrote about was advice to farmers and land owners to plant walnuts and rear walnut trees. We took occasion to write something on the same line about two years ago. We say now again poor land can be made rich by rearing walnut trees on it. Look under any walnut tree and see if the soil is not rich. As we said trees can be planted on each acre and land cultivated with profit, and benefit to the trees. We said that in years trees could thus be grown which would be worth or even more per tree. We now say furthermore, that of the trees planted on acre at least of them should arrive at the stage of maturity without interference to the crops and an actual enrichment of the soil; and also, that if the man study the e of tree as it grows he am train them to curl and also prob- ably to produce a Press.

BY O. L. The well for the protection of the tobacco houses against fire been completed is a success. There is a good of among the farmers that their tobacco seeds are not sprouting many believe that the recent cold weather snow have killed them. A few warm days of sunshine will tell the tide, and it they tire not forthcoming it will he well to resow the beds. The old adage, that land well pared 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 himself some oilier crop, tor surely he will be disappointed if lie expects to obtain profitable results from such a system of preparation of the land he expects to plant in tobacco. Messrs. H. L. Coward and Travis Hooker from Greene, have in Greenville prospecting for the past few days and its a result have bought an interest in the Star Warehouse and will be associated with Messrs. Brown next year m the ware business. Tobacconists here welcome these young men to our town for they will not only be an addition to the Star but will be a val- acquisition to the market, hailing from Greene as they do in he one of the finest bright tobacco pro- sections the east.

He highly of the industry of the to men of the State who he said in instance had shown a cheerful willingness to put their shoulder to the wheel do their part in making the Tobacco a success. Mr. Awn- dell is one of the most versatile and waters in State and having carefully studied tobacco industry for the past three m nubs, tobacco men can rest assured that far, at last North Carolina tobacco will have done it in the largest industrial publication ever issued in the State. What class or grade of tobacco 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 tanner to grow that kind as near as possible If you ha-c land that will grow wrappers and the price of wrappers is sufficient to warrant you in making them then the fertilization 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 want to make wrappers a 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 plant of tobacco to make good wrappers must be topped very low or sufficiently low that the re- leaves will thoroughly de- and these leaves must remain until they are ripe before they are cut, and in order to get the beef type of wrapper the stalk must be cat. In making cutters topping is not so as it is not Ben Man to have body and hence a good more leaves may safely lie left and the curing just as soon its the bottom leave.- begin to yellow When I in Danville a few weeks was idled by and what in- would ottered them to come a at I all tin encouragement that could in B justifiable way.

Take a New Census. The is of the opinion that a new census of the population of Greenville ought to be taken. It is that the last government 1890, comes far short of doing the town justice and some step be taken to set us right and let the out- side world know what we have here. The government census of 1880 gave Greenville population, and in 1890 the number reported was an in- crease of over one hundred percent in the ten years. In the five years since that census was completed the of the town has increased hugely until it is believed there are now fully people here. A new census should be taken to establish tips. He Went.

Manage;. Ohio Oat Together and Devote a Day to the of the Little Eng- rests. The annual sparrow hunt is a big event in several Ohio counties. It seems to have originated in Summit county, and to this day the hunt is conducted on a more elaborate scale in that part of the state than anywhere else. Only Publish sparrows are shot, and no mat- how ninny arc killed like victims, never will be Early in the month of December the farmers, having got everything stored away neatly and safely, having pro- plenty of wood and having boarded up the cattle sheds for the winter, decided that it was about time to go on the warpath for sparrows. A notice was posted up next day at Rich- field Center to this annual hunt will be held to-morrow. All are invited. Please be on hand not later than eight a. in. and Cyrus Hop kins will be captains of the two and will choose sides a. On the following morning nearly men were ready for the hunt. It doesn't take long to circulate such an announcement in a farming in Ohio. Especially is this true the winter season, when there is nothing that the younger people like than to visit around. When the hunters came together was noticeable that nearly all of them carried guns of modern make. Very old-pattern pieces were shouldered by the stalwart sons of the county, and I he army musket, which was o con- immediately after the war, was no longer noticeable. done it croaked Elder Paine. come out here shot quail with brick loaders now will do but that boy in the neighbor- hood must be armed with a new-fangled gun a hull summer's As soon as the contestants could he pined in line the captains chose their men. It didn't take long it doesn't require much skill to shoo English sparrows. They are so tame anyone can get close enough to pop them over as fast as he can sight his The hunters with the guns can lie operated with the most speed are almost mil tale to be those to make the largest scores.

In five minutes from the time that the men started on their way the gun- to bang. All up and down the I valley during the entire afternoon the reports filled the air until the might have been excused for be- that a war skirmish was going i on in the neighborhood. The spar- i rows never had been thicker. In fact, i tiny had been so thick during the I months that they threatened to eat the farmers out of house and home. One peculiar fact about shooting spar- I lows is that the noise of the guns seems Io frighten them only temporarily. i They rapidly become accustomed to the report, as they do to everything else. They are the most complacent I that ever immigrated into j the country. On Fourth of July the same is noticeable. In early morning, when the first few fire- . crackers or miniature torpedoes are dis- the will fly away to the brunches of the trees or to the eaves of the burns and houses, where they build nests, but before nightfall they are back again on streets as chipper as and only mind a firecracker long enough to fly a few feet away and sputter like the mischief when it bursts. So H is when hunting. The first discharge of weapons early in the morning sent the sparrows away to their safest re- treats, but by noon, between hunger Bud the fact that they no longer leaded the noise, they were out on the roads, in the barnyards stealing the grain away from the chickens, as though they never had heard a shotgun. As the sun began to sink in the west the pile of s began to late.

Not many persons who have taken a Dover's powder have any idea of the career of the man who gave his name to the preparation. Professor Osier of Johns Hopkins in a paper published In The Lancet, tells his story. Thomas Dover was born in War. 1660, and after studying at Cambridge and with the famous Dr. settled down at Bristol, for centuries the home port for adventurers, privateers and slave traders. Ho was nearly when be joined in a commercial and piratical venture with a number of Bristol merchants. Two ships, the Duke and the Duchess, were fitted out for a voyage to the south seas, from which the of the world, had brought wonderful tales of Spanish riches. who had come to grief in bis last expedition to those regions, was taken along as pilot, while Dover went as third in to Captain Rogers and appears in his narrative as Captain Dover. The expedition was memorable for two events. On Feb. the ships arrived off the island of Juan Fer- and Captain Dover, who was sent ashore in the brought back with him to the ship a couple of days later a man, clad in goat- skins, who had boon left on the is- j land four years and a half before. This was Alexander Selkirk, the orig- i Robinson Crusoe. Later the expedition sailed up the South American coast, and found what it was seeking in the two of Guayaquil, which it attacked and Backed. Dover led the van and cured the sailors of tho plague which broke out after the capture of the cities. After cruising in the for an- other two years for the Spanish ships they to England in 1711, having collected plunder to the val- of share made i him a wealthy man, and him free to wander about the world for some years. Ho settled down in London as a physician in 1731, carrying into his practice tho pugnacious habits of his life. To attract attention, ho published his book. Ancient Physician's Legacy to His Country, Being What Ho Has Collected Himself In Forty-nine Years of Practice; Designed to the Use of All Private The book ran through eight editions, the last apparently being published in 1771. On on the section on gout, is given the formula for his famous opium one saltpeter and tartar each four ounces; one ounce.

Then pow- them very fine; after that in your opium, grind them to a pow- and then mix the other powders with these. from forty to sixty or seventy grains in a glass of white wine going to bed, covering up warm, and drinking a quart or three pints of tho drink while The publication of the hook made a great noise, and brought Dover into many quarrels with his lows, who treated him as a quack, as they did for that mat- He carried on a bitter war against apothecaries, too, and died in 1742.

It is a praiseworthy trait, but for goodness sake don't have him practice it when he takes a woman out to dinner or supper.

The woman of the world will per- order a more extravagant meal than he would desire, but she won't break him if he entertains her but once in decent style, instead of three or four times in poverty stricken fashion that makes his guest want to pass her across the table to him to help him out of his difficulty.
