LATE NEWS. ~i
Pittsburg, Pa, hada $2,500,000 fire
on Morday.
Several distinct earthquake shakes
were felt in portions of this State and
Virginia about noon on Monday.
Tae Naval Reserves of North Car-
dlina, South Carolina and Georgia are
planning to have an encampment to-
gether this summer.
During the last five mouths 189,728
tons of fertilizer were sold in this State.
Putiing this at an average price of
$22.50 aton makes an outlay of $4,-
268,880. This is an enormous drain
upon the farmers.
A unique suit is that which has been
begun by the state of Missouri to re-
cover from the estate of Arthur Dues-
strow, who was recently hanged for
murder, the cost of the prosecution
which led up to that result.
Tar River Lodge K. of P.
In Masonic hall, Tuesday night, was
organized a Knights of Pythius lodge
under the name of Tar: River Lodge.
Visiting Pythians were here from Wil

Som:thiag Worth Knowing,
Mr. Johu A. Sims, Chiet Clerk in the
AuditorTs office, says bruised peach
tree ieaves make the best application
for the wound made by a rusty nail in
the foot. In winter the bark of the
roots of the peach tree broken up fine
He
says he has never known serious results
to tollow when this remedy was used
in tims. Use a liberal quantity and
put fresh ones on several times a day
until the wound heals, A strip of cloth
poultice in place, ot course.
One of Mr. SimsT sons stepped on a
nail a few days ago, which penetrated
his shoe avd foot to a considerable
depth. Peach tree leaves were applied
and the wound is healing up nicely.
A. wound froma rusty nail is very
dangerous, oiten causing lockjuw and
death. Hence it w'll be well to remem-
ber this remedy and use it promptly."

~AN ENEMY OF: YANKEES,�
Graat"A Feminine Oddity,
General Horace Porter gives many
amusing pictures of army life in his
series of papers on ~~Campaiguing
With GrantT in. The Century. He
tells the following story of the cam-
paign on the North Anna in the /eb-
ruary Century: When I reercssed
the river and returned to headquar-
ters in the evening, I found General
Grant sitting in front of his tent
smoking a cigar and anxious to hear
the report as to the extent of the
damage to the railroad. About the
time I finished relating to him what
had been accomplished an old wom-
an who occupied a small house near
by strolled over to headquarters,
apparently bent upon having a
friendly chat with the commander
of the Yankee armies. The number
of questions she asked showed that
she was not lacking in the quality
of curiosity which is supposed to be
common to hcr sex. She wore an
old fashioned calico dress about six
inches too short, wiih the sleeyes
rolled up tu ihe elbows. She hada
nosé so sharp that it looked as if it
had been caught in the crack of a
door and small gray eyes that
twinkled and snapped as she spoke.
She began by nodding a familiar~
~ooHow do you do?TT to the general
ed like the high notes of an E flat
clarinet with a soft reed, ~~I believe
you command all these hyah Yan-
kees that are comin down hyah and
cavortin round over this whole sec-
tion of country?TT The general
bowed an asseut, and she continued,
oTm powerful glad General Lee has
been lickin you all from the Rapidan
clTah down hyah, and that now heTs
got you jesT whah he wants you.�T
Then she drew up a camp chair
on it and, finding that het remarks
seemed to be received good natured-
ly, grew still more familiar. and
went on to say: ~~Yes, and afoT long
LeeTll be a-chasin you all up through
Pennsylvany agTin. Was you up
aftah you ajl last summer?TT The
general had great difliculty in keep-
ing his face straight.as he replied:
oWell, no; I wasnTt there myself.
I had some business in another di-
rection.TT He did not explain to her
that Vicksburg was at that time
commanding something of his atten-
tion. Said she: ~I notice our boys
got away with lots af ~em Conestoga
hosses up thah, and they brought
lots of Tem back with Tem. We've
got a pretty good show of Tem round
this section of country, and theyTre
jesT the best draft horses you ever
see. Hope the boys'll get up thah
agin, soon and bring back some
morewot ~em.T
The general kept on:smoking his: T
cigar abd was greatly amused by
the conversation. After a little
while the woman went back to her
~| house, but returned later and. said:
See hyah; ITm all alone in my
house, and I am kinder skeered. I
expect them Yankee soldiers of
yournTll ¢.eal everything I have and
murder n.e afoT morning if you
donTt give me some protection.�T
oOh,TT replied the general, ~~weTll
see that you are not hurt,TT and,
turning to Lievtenant Dunn of the
staff, he said: ~~Dunn, you had bet-
ter go and stay in the old ladyTs
house tonight. You can probably
make yourself more comfortable
there than in camp anyhow, and I
donTt want her to be frightened.�T
Dunn followed the old womun
rather reluctantly to her house and
played guardian angel to her till the
next morning.
