Some Egg Yarns.
Several merchants were gathered on
the shady side of the street whiling
away the dull hours. Conversation
drifted fiom one ene to another un-
til it landed on eggs. Two or three
rounds passed about bis eggs, when
John Andrews put in one that knocked
all the others out. Said he oyou fel-
lows are nowhere on big eggs. When
'we boys went to the WorldTs Fair we
dropped in at a restuurat one day and
among other things cael for fried eggs.
When the waiter came in he had one
egg to a plate, but it was so large that
it covered the plate and hung all over
the. edges.�
Capt. White was noticed drawing a
long breath and raising bis hand, like
he was going to head {Johnnie off, but
the latter was too quick for him and
gave them another: oThere is one man
who bring? me so many eggs,� he con-
tinued, oond it got -to.taking ~so muh
tlme to count them that the man got
his hens to lay them on ~strings of a

Taken Bick at Church,
Mrs. Florence Dancy has been in
poor health for sometime and had aot
attended church for two months. She
felt so much better on Sunday that she
decided to go out Sunday night. The
walk to church. was very trying to her
strenyth and the lights making the
building sowarm she was taken very
sick soon after the services started.
Friends went to her assistance and she
was carried from the building, but suf-
fered intensely for some littie time be-
fore she could be taken on home. Ina
note to the RerLector she requests
that her thanks be returned to all who
in anyway administered to and assisted
her. She expresses gratitude and ap-
preciation to every one.

Erank Hodges saya he is the busiest
man in town. His daily job is to
watch the progress of the eight brick
stores going up, keep an eye also on the
double office building around the cor-
ner, look after the telephone wires as
the linemen go along, keep everything
in tobacco town moving along and
see that the trains come and go on
schedule time. He says he was about
to put in a complaint that he had too
much to do, when he found Prof.
Ragsdale Jwas helping him and con
cluded that between them both they
could hold the job down.

oAs to the encampment this year, it ap-

Two Wonderfal Escapes.
oHere are two accounts. of wonderful
escapes during the terrible recent storm
in St. Louis. Says the Post Dispateh :
oOne of the peculiar freaks of the
tornado. was witnessed at, the Drum-
mond Tobacco CompanyT building, on
Fourth and Spruce streets. A tinner

building repatring the roof when the

: Thirteenth Session 01 the N.C, Teach-
ersT Assembiy"Asueville, June
16th-231d.
The prospects are that the approach
ing meeting of the N, C. TeachersT As-
sembly will be one of the most success-
fal ever held in this State. The exec"
utivé committee and Secretary Parker
and President Joyner seem to have left
no stone unturned to insure its success.
~The session has been shortened to a
working session of five days with orery
afternoon for recreation. A full,
tractive and varied program has beer
ranged, comprehending questions of liv-
ing inserest and vital importance to the
advancement of the teacher's profession
awd to the educational and material de-
velopment of the State, to be discussed
by menT ~and women whose eminent suc-
cess-and established reputation entitle
them to speak with authority on these
questions and insure able and helpful
discussions.
_ The extremely low rate of one fare
for..the..round-trip. bas been secured
from all railroads in the State, An ex-
coedingly low rate of board, ranging
fiom $1.00 a day to $5.00 and $6.00 a
week has been secured at many of the.
best hotels and private ooarding houses
in Asheville. These are the lowest
rates ever before obiained for members
~The railroad tickets
~remain in force till July 20th, and hold-
ers of Assembly certificates can secure
the low rates of board for one month if
o} desired.
oAfter meeting at Morehead City for
nine consecutive years, the change to
the mountains will be restful and enjoy-
able and hundreds who had grown
tired of the seashore and ceased to at-
tend the meetings ot tie Assembly will
take advantage of the remarkably low
rates this year to renew their allegiance
t) the teachers organization, and to
spend a delightful vacation of a few
weeks at small expenses among the in-
comparable mountains of Western Car-
olina.
The citizens ot Asheville seem unus-
ually enthusiastic over the coming of
the educators to their city, and are ar-
ranging to give all who attend a royal
welcome. :
~The meeting of the Assembly has
been very widely advertised in every
corner of North Carolina thtongh news.
papers and circulars. We understand
3{that programs and full information
jadout the approaching meeting have
been sentto nearly every public and
private school teacher in the State.
We predict that the fipproaching sc
sion of the Aseembly will be one of the
greatest, most enthusiastic, and success
ful educational gatherings ever held in
North Carolina. 2

ot their homes and firesides. And we

free coinage of silver, and hence we see
no reason why they cannot come to-

since the money issue has taken shape

GOLD IN DEERTS TEETH.
Man Who Found It Now Trying to Dis-
cover a Mine.
Gold has been found in a variety of
queer places, among others in the dust
shaken from chickensT feathers, in the
and between the
toes of a wolf hound. .The latest odd
place for gold is as a filling fora deerTs
teeth, and it is told
Seb
of in the Nidologist
A Kansas City taxidermist was found
in a great state of excitement by Mr.
Bryant. He had recently got two deer
heads for mounting from Colorado.
The jaws of both deer were being
|} scraped, and then the taxidermist ob-
served a peculiar substance crusted on
the teeth. This sediment was brownish
yellow in color, and just for foolTs luck
the man scraped it off and sent it to
an assayer. The assayer gota lump of
gold, pure, yellow gold, from the stuff,
and the taxidermist made haste to find
out the precise locality where the deer
were killed. Then he asked about the
deer li¢ks where the animals got their
salt. He doesn't know yet whetrer the
gold came from a salt lick or from the
dust blown ents (ue gritss or browse
on which the decr fc.
The taxi¢cimict oa. oat the deer
were killkd rot mere thar 100 mites
from the Cilpple Creck gold mines,
and further, that he knows the spot
exactly. He thinks that if deer can
get gold filling for their teeth in the
ordinary course of nature, @ man
can get bushels of it. He has so much
faith in this that he is going to sell out
his business, buy a burro, a grub stake,
and a prospectorTs pick, and then go
tu prospecting on the deersT trails.
VENDETTAS IN SICILY.
Still Prevalent, and the Slightest Trifle
Brings Them On.
In Sicily, young men who are eligible
partis have to exercise extreme care in
their demeanor toward young unmar-
ried ladies. To dance with them so
often as to be remarked, to attempt to
talk to them alone, is, to use the in-
genious expression of an Italian friend
of mine, expected to make you their
future-in-law. In the lower classes,
says the New York Mercury, a vendetta
results if a man pays attention to an
unmarried girl without marrying her.
Vendettas are quite prevalent still. i
heard a characteristic and rather amus-
ing story about one the other day. A
gentlemanTs coachman did his part ina
vendetta and was sent to prison for a
term"there being no capital punish-
ment in Sicily. His master went to
visit him in prison, and agked if he
could do anything for him. oYes, sig-
nor; if you will pay half» franc a ~day
for mel can have a better roomand bet-
ter food, and shave.� He uttached
most importance to the shave. Ifa man
sees his brother being murdered, not
will he do anything to bring the of-
fender to justice. He may not even
interfere. But he will take it ~upon
himself as a sacred duty to kill the mur-
derer whenever he has him at his mercy.

The Story ef:an Interview with the'Grand

respondent blocked the way the Grand
oWill

at once suggested a brilliant idea to
the newspaper man. He rushed to the
telegraph office and sent this dispatch
to his paper: oI had a somewhat brief

denied the authenticity of the half
