tended the lecture of Mr. Karl

his evening's lecture. He told In a
very Interesting manner of the kind
of people who were his ancestors,
and gave Interesting illustrations of
the character and nature of the ear-
sailors of Mr.

Norway, tho farthest north of any In
the world, a place where the Bun
never shines for months of the
year, and where the Christmas din-
Is eaten at darkest midnight
The speaker told of tho tests that
were made of tho young men In his
country, and showed how brave and
fearless they were in the face of
gravest danger.
Mr Jansen's Impersonation of the
character of character of Macbeth,
perhaps Shakespeare's most famous
and best known character, was all
that could asked for. The noted
Swede showed that he was equally
capable, whether acting the part of
some character, or In tell-
of his native home.
By special request the
and the was
repeated from last summer, and the
Immense audience greeted it with
fully as much enthusiasm as though
It had been entirely new to them.
Every one present was highly pleas-
ed with the evening's entertainment,
and was vividly Impressed with the
fact that Mr. Jansen is a master at
his trade. reception Monday
was by an audience almost, though
not by any means altogether, entire-
different from that which greeted
him on the occasion of his visit here
last July. Many of the town
who heard him last summer were
only too glad last night of
of being present for Mr.
Jansen's return engagement, and will
be glad to know of his at any
future time.

ADVERTISE SALE

OF
ROADS.
Notices have been sent out by the
board of county ad-

thousand dollars worth of bonds
voted by the people of Greenville

have made all the arrange-
for the vale of these bonds
and are now notifying the public that
the bonds may be bought.
Advertisements will be placed
several of the big papers of the north,
and In one or two Instances In this
section of the country. It is believed
that no trouble will be experienced
in selling these bonds, the town-
ship is already bonded only to a very
small extent, and its credit Is good.
Fifty thousand dollars is said to be
a very small debt for a township the
size of Greenville to carry, and there
will probably be no trouble in paying
oft the bonds they become due.
Shortly after the election of July
an agitation was started for the is-
of portions of the issue at
time. This discussion seems to have
gained some support from the com-
missioners as they have ordered only-
half of the entire amount to be issue
at this time. By doing this, the com-
missioners will save the township
much interest that would have to
paid on the other half of the bonds.
Bids will be received until
1913, at ten o'clock in i.
morning, and all bids must be
by a certified check of
as a guarantee of good faith, and
this will be forfeited by the failure
of the bidder to comply with the bid

any reason which they may have.

New Way of Preserving Eggs.
A new way of preserving eggs has

eggs are In water of a tempera

of an hour. Then they are put on a
net, held for five seconds In boiling
water, and then, as quickly as
removed Into cold water. The
eggs, still wet, are laid on a clean
cloth and allowed to dry by exposure
to the air. They must not be dried
off with a cloth or towel. When they
are dry they are packed In a box with

raising in this state, and It is earn-
hoped that our farmers and
breeders will look over these exhibits
carefully. Tremendous displays of
horticulture and farm products, corn,
cotton, wheat, rye, tobacco and such,
articles will be shown, and
of farm and labor-saving
devices. Many counties will make ex-
and some of our towns will
make collective displays.
Eighteen acres of new ground have
been with a new entrance and
roadway, with ample parking places,
eliminating the dangerous crowding
and congestion of vehicles.
One of the most interesting
Instructive features will be the Bet-
Contest under the auspices
of the State Board of Health, with

Carolina, the school board at a meet-
held on last Thursday night, de-
unanimously to add another
grade to the curriculum of the school.
Before graduating the students will
hereafter be compelled to finish the
i of eleven grades now Instead of
ten as has been the Case heretofore.
it is explained by the school board
that all of the colleges and higher
of learning In the state
have rained their standard, and in or-
for Hie local school to prepare
its students for entrance into these
institutions It Is for the

It has been rumored over the town,
and the students of
the school, that there will be no
graduations this year. This, however.
is a mistaken idea. Whether or not
there shall be any one to graduate

Representative D. M. Clark, of this

GIVE AWAY
To the Farmers of
this Section. .
We have twenty head of as fine a lot of Jersey hogs, and female, as were ever
ed in Eastern North Carolina that we are going to give away, absolutely free of charge, to the far-
of this section.
How To Get One of These Hogs
To the farmer, white or who nearest the of of tobacco
that will be sold on the Greenville market this season up to December 1st, will be given the
choice hog in the lot, and to the farmer who guesses the next nearest to the number of pounds sold,
will get the next choice hog in the lot, and so on until the entire lot are given away.
Every farmer who sells a load of tobacco at the Star Warehouse will be entitled to a guess, and
will have the opportunity of getting one of these choice rugs free of charge. Twenty farmers will get
them, and the twenty guessing nearest to the number of pounds sold by December st will be the
lucky ones.
In order that the farmers have an intelligent idea of what will be sold on the market to December
st, we are publishing what has been sold on the up to this time, and also what was sold on the
market last year up to December st. With this information any can form a very intelligent idea of
what the market will sell this year to December st. Every load of tobacco sold on the Star Warehouse
floor, entitles the owner to a guess. If a farmer has a dozen loads, he will be entitled to twelve
guesses, and if he brings a load every day in the week, he will be entitled to a guess for every
load he brings up to December st.
Now, put on your studying cap, take the sale, last year and compare them with this, make your
estimate of what will be sold to December st. this year, bring your load of tobacco, and we will
register your guess on your bill, and keep a record of it also and when the Secretary of
the Board of Trade reports the sales up to December we will then award the hogs to the twenty
farmers who have guessed nearest the number of pounds sold.
Now, remember please, that it d cost a cent to enter this contest.
It is a perfectly plain proposition. We are going to give away twenty
pure blood Jersey Hogs to the customers of the Star Warehouse
who guess nearest the number of pounds of Tobacco that will be sold
on the Greenville Market to December this year.
sales on the Greenville market last year up to December I, were pounds.
The sales to October this year are pounds.
. . p. r I M I What will the Greenville sell this
THE IO- to December 1st.
The twenty farmers coming nearest to the correct answer to this question will
get twenty as fine Hogs as were ever raised in this county.
No employee of the Star Warehouse will be allowed a guess in this contest.

Why Not Bead on a Train.
Many people believe that it is in-
to the eyes to read on a train,
but few seem to know why. The
son is the added strain on the deli-
I muscles of the eyes. The mo-
of the train shakes the paper
book constantly, thus continually
its position and Its distance
from the eyes, keeping the delicate
muscles of the eyes in constant action
to readjust the focus. Extra work
thus thrown on these tiny muscles
as the changing of occurs some-
times a hundred times a minute.
j Some trains now carry library cars
which have the source of light be
bind and at one side of the reader.
The best and newest Pullmans have
side light for reading. The usual
railroad car-lighting equipment, how-
ever, is antiquated. Public opinion
will do much to remedy these
lighting methods. Illuminating
engineers can be secured by railroads
and other public carriers to devise
proper methods of Illumination,
that no excuse can be offered for
proper lighting conditions.
Another cause of eye-strain in
reading on trains Is the poor lighting
usually encountered. Often people
try to read their evening papers on
a train or street-car when the day-
light Is fading and before the car
lights are turned on. Even with the
lights turned on, the situation is not
greatly Improved. The cars are
crowded, and strap-hangers
sway back and forth between the
paper and the source of light Usual-
the light high up In the center
of the car ceiling and Is badly placed
for reading, the light being too far
from the paper and the light rays be-
reflected into the eyes from the
book or magazine.
