The old adage that land well pres reall was equal to half the cultivation, applies stronger to the tobacco crop than any other that our eastern carolina farmers grow. The farmer who waits until all the cold weather is gone and then hire a cheap hand to break his land with a slip shod plow had _ better employ himselt with some other crop, for surely he will be disappointed if, he expecis to obtain profitable results from such a system of preparation of the land he expects to plant in tobacco. North Carolina tobacconists look forward to the publication of the to- bacco edition of the Releigh News and great Interest. The bright tobacco of North Carolina has for years been branded by the foreign world as Virginia brights, and Virginia has been accorded all the credit that obtained from the silky texture and superior color of North Carolina to- bacco. A few days.ago Mr. F. B. Arendell, representing the News and Observer, was in, Greenville collecting data from this market, to be used in this edition. He says the objects and aims of the Tobacco Edition will be to properly place North Carolina tobac- co where it belougs and to give to the world an idea of the importance of this vast industry m the State. He spoke highly of the industry of the to- bacco men of the State who he said in every instance had shown a cheerful willingness to put their shoulder to the wheel and do their part in making the Mr. Aren- dell is one of the most versatile aad fluent writers in the State and having carefully studiel the tobacco industry for the past three months, tobacco men can rest assured that far, and at last North Carolina tobacco will have jus- tice done it in the largest industrial publication ever issued in the State. Tobaceo Edition a success. What class or grade of tobacco ean be most profitably grown in Eastern North Carolina? is a question that every farmer should ask himself and seriously consider, and after determining this question then it behooves the business farmer to grow that kind as near as possible If you have land that will grow wrappers-wad the price of wrappers is suffi-jent to warrant you in mhhking them \then the fertilization’ of the land and the growth of the plant should be a question of consideration, for the same mode of management of the plant will not make distinctly either wrappers or cutters, If you want to: make wrappers a heavicr application of fertilizer for them will be needed than if you want to grow cutters, ‘for in | Wrappers the main thing is good body | While in cutters body you do not want. | Then, too, a playt of tobacco, to make good wrappers must be topped very Jow or sufficiently “low. that) the re- i thaining leaves, will thoroiizhly de- velop, and these leaves must’ remain until they are ripe before they are, | cut, and in order to get the best type ot wrapper the stalk, wast) be: cbt.

Mee Cities, ETRE Sih Ran geet! a ROMANCE ON THE ICE. Reasons for the Coolness That Exists Be-. tween Two Brooklyn Lovers. She was a2 poor skater, she said, but | her escort, who thought she was just about perfect in everything else, in- sisted that she could skate well enough, for anybody’s criticism and ‘that he wasn’t much of a skater himself, so they went to the park together one ‘| day last week and were very soon on the ice. Perhaps you might have seen them, for they were as noticeable as ever were two lovers from the country when they first visit New York and take a walk on Broadway. Each had told the truth, but eac spectively was a better skater than she and he had pretended. When they were fairly “launched,” so to speak, they took hold of each other’s hands, and in their attempt to maintain up- right positions their wrigglings and sawings of the air with their arms not in use suggested St. Vitus’ dance. “Look out there! Where are you go- ing?” shouted a skilled skater whom they suddenly plunged into and nearly upset. He had braced himself for the onset, and they split on him, as it were. She went one side and he the other. Two pairs of hands were in the air as if trying to claw chunks out of the sky, then came the collapse. He went down on his back, and she—well, she tried to sit down, but made quite a frantic and unneoessary effort. The ice seemed to her to meet her half way, and there was a Very dull thud indeed. . “There! -I-told you so!” shouted the skilled skater. He was addressing himself to the young lady’s escort, and at the same time gallantly went to the side of the young lady, apologized to her very ‘handsomely for running into him, and assisted her to rise before her eseyrt had found time to do anything but glare at. him. Then the skilled skater said to the young lady: ‘Per- | mit me!” Holding her firmly in posi- tion, he gave her a fine “spin” across the lake and back again. By that time the escort had gained a tolerably erect position. “Hurt?” asked the skilled skater, pat- ronizingly. No, theescortwas not hurt, except as to his feelings. He said, with a feeble gttempt at politeness, that he was not injured and this time directed his glare at the young lady. The skilled skater smiled mischievously, raised his hat to the young lady and glided away. ! “For my part,” snapped the escort, when they were left alone, “I think the ice is no good.” ‘Would you like to go home?” she asked, with a shade of stiffness and threeshades of sarcasm. They might as well, he grumbled. And when they got their’ skates off and started homeward the temperature ‘seemed to grow colder. He said he ‘might not be “up” that evening, as he expected to be detained in “the city,” and he has not been “up” since Brooklyn Standard-Union. ! Good Enough for Her, Too, The resources of a properly trained Biddy are practically inexhaustible. | A short time ago I bought some very expensive hothouse grapes for a mem- ber of the family who had been sick, but they were not fancied at the time, and I asked the maid to take them away. The next morning IL went to | her and told her to take the fruit to the sick room. “Sure, ma’am, Oi can’t. ’Tis meself thought ye* wanted them throw’d away!” with the peculiarly stupid look an Irish girl puts on and takes off with ease. 7 “Thrown away, Bridget!” I ex- claimed angrily, “How could you be so stupid? Don’t you know that kind of grapes is awfully expensive?” “Don’t be put out, ma’am,” Bridget said, soothingly. “Sure, not one was wasted. Oi ate ivery good grape me- self!”--N.
