Post office officials have been
considerable trouble with the
mails here recently, and have b en
a loss to account for It. Whole boxes
of mail that been distributed
properly and found its way into a
certain box, would later be found in
another box in the extreme opposite
end of the building. It had reached
that point where all were
watching to see the wonderful trans-
position- Vigilance, however, re-
warded Two youths who had
been stopping in regularly on their
way to school, and who seemed very
much interested in the boxes when
no one was looking and very
when watched, were suspect-
ed. They entered Saturday about
o'clock and found the
quite busy, but not reckoning with-
out their host. A close watch was
set upon the youngsters, and they
were seen to commence the
pillage. As soon as detected, Deputy
J. A. Potter was called
over the phone and arrived In time
to catch them In the building, and
with the packages on them that they
had attracted.
Arresting them, he took them he-
fore United States Commissioner W. H.
Ruse, who admitted them to bail

COFFEE BERRIES.
Round Kernel Are Stronger and Rich-
Than Flat Ones.
Everybody hi more or less familiar
With the term applied to
coffee. The term refers to the form
and style, not the sex.
An examination of any kind of coffee
will show that about one kernel In
twenty-five Is quite round. Ilk a
bean, while all the others are flat on
one side, like half of a split bean.
These round or berries are always
found on the young, vigorous, new
wood of the previous year's growth at
end of the
The old wood produces flat berries
only Each or fruit of the coffee
tree contains either two flat
berries or but one round one. The
of the fruit In the one case
all goes Into single male
In the other It Is divided among two
flat ones.
This undoubtedly accounts for the
greater strength and richness of the
male berry. In private plantations,
where the trees ore carefully pruned
and cared for and the ground well
and fertilized, the coffee Is
ways of finer quality and the
of male berries Is larger.
The round berries may be seen In all
kinds of coffee. Ceylon.

remarks that the exquisite complexion
of the young Chinese women is due

The bride is the daughter of the
late Dan and Mrs. Lillian Perry, of
this city, and is connected with some
of the most prominent families in
North Carolina. She is a young
man of exceptional personal charm
and remarkably talented. She is ex-
popular among the large

Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Carey, of
bury, Md. and connected with some
of the most respected and oldest

he has held a responsible position
here with the Kinston Manufacturing
company.
As an evidence of the esteem In
which Mr. and Mrs. Carey are held,
was the large number of handsome
and beautiful wedding presents.
After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs.
Carey left an the westbound Norfolk

to Northern cities, during which they
visit old home of the
