Williamson, of Asheville, was out Monday and at four casts of his line caught eight trout—two at each haul—and if he had hed more hooks on his line there is no telling how many he would have caught.

This scribe is just now pos- ing midway between two great temptations.

The prospects of two jolly days with them is more than we can forego without some interference out of the or- dinary. On the other hand some friends with whom we have been tak- ing an annual outing at Ucra- coke haye hied themseives there and are writing that they have been looking for us on every boat, that fish are biting like “crowds at the patent medicine fake on court day,’’ and that this pleasant old resort is sur~ passin any of its former seasuns It is hard to decide between the two, but as the Press boys don’t get together but oncea year we haye concluded to ‘‘go west’? next week, andif our friends at Ocracoke will just hold on we willtry to mingle “Uncle John” Cherry came up| —Outfit from stylish for the season.

Lewis Hinton and James Johnson owned a house jointly; their fam- ilies lived in different ends of the house. The wives of the two men were continually fussing, so that they were almost on the verge of fighting. There {was no peace,be- tween them. To settle the difficulty the men, , Hinton and Johnson, sawed the house in halves. The lot was divided off in equal pro- portions and one half of the house was put on one lot and the other aalf on the other lot. A fence divides them and there is once more peace in the Johuson and Hinton families. Mrs. E. C. Jennings, of Chicago wants a divorce because her hus- band finds it cheaper to move than to pay rent, and for that reason moves so often that his wife hasn’t time to get things straiz htened out iu one house be- fore he moves into another. in the ocean with them and help them puli fish early in August.

Infact, the mayazine principle as origin- ated and developed by James P. Lee of this city had not been thougbt of when Mr.-Hale’s old arm was wrought out by hand. The rifle was made. in. 1859 or thereabouts. Thecylinder has eleven chambers, which were drilled in the solid steel. The nipples for the per- cussion caps were also drilled and bored by band. While the rifle was in use it was never known to miss fire. The barrel is smooth bore, the caliber not being much larger than that of the old Colt revolver. gether in a -primitive--way, - brought north by Mr, Hale when he he left his Virginia home at the out- break of the war, and has been kept in an out of the way corner until a few days ago.
