We hear this so often that we had concluded that it must be so, but it was our pleasure to meet a farmer yest rday that had no such complaint to make Here is what he has done at the busi- ness. Four years ago he bought a farm, without a dollar, promising to pay $1,000 for it. The first two years after he bought it he paid for it, and since then has built a dwelling that has cost him $500, and in addition has bought another tract of 19 acres of land. He does not owe a dollar and has bread and meat enough for the year. His tobatco crop this year will bring him over $1,200. He has done allthis with one horse and one hand besides him. self. Nothing succeeds like success, and Mr. J. T. Jordan, of Ceffo, is a success. He is the man who has done this. Why can’t others doas well ?— Roxboro Courier. Improvements at Ocracoke.

RIBBONS.” The Correct Thing for Trimattogs of the | Coming Season. as if done with the brush of an artist. And as they are five inches to six inches and a half wide, importers thereof take great pleasure in announcing that next summer will bring in a “ribbon season.” This, interpreted, means that summer hats will be trimmed with ribbons mn or lace. Crisp taffeta ribbon is the, correct thing, and is shown in 9 variety so great that it defies description. Warp-paint- ing giving chine blurred effects is a feature of taffeta ribbons, as it is of and is very attractive in its soft, low- toned blossems on clear grounds of this glistening silk. Sharp contrasts with the grounds are liked. The designs are larger than those of Jast season—mam- moth clover heads, large flowered vines in stripes, marigolds, poppies, carnations and roses; always roses, and yet again roses. Plain colored tafictas with satin edge, or perhaps faintly shot with white, will be used in great widths on faney straw hats. «Ombre taffeta riLbuons of very French coloring are the novelty in shaded ribbons, as they change across their width from moss grecn to Parma violet, from red to turquoise, from rose pink to yellow, from blue to morodore, and from blue to green, a favorite blending of which fickle fashion does not tire. Louis Seize flower stripes are in many lovely colors on white of delicate grounds, sometime: accentuated by line stripes of black. special novelty is the large checks or plaids of gay colors on white grounds, which are also strewn with flowers.—-ilarper’s Bazar, Angling by Electric Light. One evening recently two anglers, one a resident of New Haven, tried the in- teresting experiment of fishing in Sea- ford-bay by electriclight. A fisherman of New Haven rowed the anglers from the railway pier soon after six o’clock, when it was completely dark. A port- able battery with a five-candle-power imcandescent lamp was taken, and this lamp was lowered until a weight below it, touched the bottom at 25 feet. Both battery and lamp were specially made for the trial, and the lamp was protect-. ed by a galvanized crinoline and was made watertight. -When it reached the bottom of the sea, there was, it is stated, a circular area, 20 yards in diam- eter, brightly illuminated right up to the surface. Fishing was carried on with an ordinary line on the port side, the lamp having been lowered on tHe starboard side of the boat.—Scientific American, ‘NO KORE COLD WEATHER Tam now prepared to furnish Ice in any quantity.ard willkeep well supplied throughout the summer.
