Weldon.

Chatham county, at whose mine the
\
| terrible explosion occurred ~in Decem-
ber and 40 people Jost their lives, has
gone into the hands of a receiver.
Two hundred employees of Sparger
Bros. tobacco factory, at Mt. Airy,
struck a few days ago. Their alleged
| grievance was they were receiving 25
cents less per hundred pounds for roll-
ing tobacco than was paid last year.
The WomanTs Foreign Missionary so-
ciety of the N. C. conference will meet
in the M. E. Church of Kinston on May
7th at 10 a. m., closing with the services
of Sunday following. The annual ser-
mot willbe by Rev. T. N. Ivey, of
Wilson, Sunday morning. All are cor-
dially invited"Kinston Free Press.
Mr. Nick Caldwell, of the Poplar
Tent neighborhood was in the city
yesterday. He had hams and cotton to
sell, One of the hams weighed 65
pounds. Such specimens are scarce ;
but this shows what Mecklenburg can
do. Mr. Caldwell made 104 bales of
cotton last year"Charlotte Observer.
The Elizabeth City Economist says:
o~L'yrrell boasts of a family of five
whose combined weight is 975 pounds.
It is that of J. A. Hollaway, agent of
PettitTs N. C. Line at HollawayTs Pier,

House und Miss Lennie Fleming.
The ushers were Charlie Briley and

After the ceremony an elegant sup-
per was served at the home of the

May their wedded life be filled wih
happiness.
Give the Farm a Name.
It has been frequently suggested that
great good would result trom each far-
mer placing his name and that of his
farm in a conspicuous place ou his barn
orroad gate. Not only would persons
driving for the first time to the place
more easily find it, but it would add
much pleasure and interest to. people
driving from place to place, This lat-
with. regard to well kept and pretty
houses. An observiag person will sel-
dom pass a beautitul farm without a
desire to know who is its enterprising
owner, If such a practice were gener
al, a marked improvement in the ap-
pearance of our farmé, and therefore
our country, could not fail to result.
Every tidy man would feel a heighten-
ed interest in making his farm front
roadsides, etc., more beautiful, knowing
that every passer by would commend
him as the owner. It.would also have
a good effect upon the untidy manTs
farm, because the contrast between his
slovenly place and his neighbor's well-
kept home would shame him into fence
repairing, tree planting and other lines
of improvement. The idea of naming
the farm is certainly commendable"Ex.
The editorial pages of the Review
of Reviews for May are especially
strong in their treatment of current
foreign affairs and international topics.
The Cuban war and its relations to
Spanish politics, the boundary difficulty
between Brazil and French Guiana,
other South America matters, the pre-
sent status of Canadian politics, Amer
ican policy toward Turkey, the Soudan
expelition, EnglandTs position among
the Powers with reference to Egypt,
the British alliance with Italy, Russian
interest in Abyssinia, the rising in
Matabeleland, and the Budapest Ex-
position, are subjects which fall within
the monthTs survey and which are in-
telligently discussed in the ReviewTs de-
partment of oThe Progress of the
World.�
At Newport News, Tuesday morn.
ing, the Old Dominion steamer Wya-
noke, bound from Richmond to New
York, collided with the United States
cruiser Columbia while the latter lay at
anchor. The Wyanoke was badly
damaged and sunk half an hour after
the collision. She had 107 passengers
on board, all of whom are believed to
have been saved but lost their baggage
and wearing apparel. The Columbia
also sustained considerable damage and
will have to go to the navy yard for re-
pairs.

themselves in his skin, burning him
badly. He had never forgotten this.
Certain that he would take care of
himself, I paid no further attention to
him, but went withthe others into the

electrie key, ready to fire at the com-

bark furiously into the, very muzalé of

I called to him, but he woolT not

I tried to catch him, but could not do
so. As I approached he retreated, still
barking and apparently urging ime to
follow hire.
Finally, convinced from the dogTs ac-

electric wire was disconnected from

evtul, physical strain. The heart aad
the stomach have been made to do
double duty, that of the lungs and their
own combined, with more often only
one-half of the room required to do it
in, from the compressing force of. the
stays. Consequently, one of the mest
graceful actions that.a woman is called
on most often to illustrate is trans-
formed, by the ignorance of a few rules
of physica] culture, into one of the most
ludicrous and sorry sights imaginable.
The woman who clutches her skirts
in front midway Letween the hip and
the knee beads her body from the hips
almost in a bow and drags up, labor-
iously exhausting her vital energies at
} every step, .s making a foolish and a
ridiculous mistake, for which she suf-
fers severely long before arriving at
the top.
One of the handsomest pictures paint-
ed of feminine beauty is that of a love-
ly woman ascending a fine, old stair-
case, Her slender figure is gracefully
erect, her lovely face on the column
like throat turned half over her shoul-
der. The arms are bare, and .droop
with .perfeetly natural grace to her)
knees, where the silken skirts. are
daintily lifted to allow the free play'of
tiny, slippered feet. The lady is in the
act of ascending, and seems to float up-
ward, the personification of grace it-
self.
One imagines that he can see her catch
her silken skirt at either knee, lifting
it just to the ankle, expand her chest, |
hold ~her shoulders well back and her
arms down. Then the slender body
rests squarely on the hips, not drag- |
ging forward, and, standing perfectly
erect, she glides upward, easily and
gracefully."Chicago Inter Ocean.
Domino Evening Cloak.
The latest make of evening cloak re-
calls the.domino style, well plaited in
at the back, so that the base is wide and
cmple. These plaits have to be dimin-
ished and arranged in a most cleverT
way, on the lining that supports them to
prevent the. back looking clumsy. Im-
menseé hanging sleeves, wide enough to}
take in any other kind of sleeve, add to
the voluminous appearance of the gar-

The Hen Preferred an Elevation.
A Wyandotte hen belonging to Mr.
Jao. H. Adams, of Bowling Green,
has a head of her own and invents
strange ways of doing things. She
was raised as a house chicken and was
expected of courseto put on a little
moreT style than the common fowl
hatched under the corn-crib and brought
up with nothing more than barn-lot
manners, but it was not expected that
she would have such original ideas
about laying and sitting. When she
was old enough to think of keeping
house for herself she began laying but
notin a nest. She perched herself on
a pole about ~seven feet from. the
ground and laid her setting of eges from
\that position... Strange as anything else
is the fact that none of the eggs. were
broken by the fall bu# were ~all gath-
ered ap. . When she was ready to sit
she sat on the pole. As this seemed. to
be a slow process, a bea: was nailed up
near she pole, a nest was male, some
fresh eggs put: in, and Miss Wyandotte
invited to take a seat and make ~he rself
at home. Thisshe did at once, seeming
proud: to know that she had caaght on
to the correct way. Gastonia Gazette. len
