Hunt editor, made its appearance at Bur- lington Wednesday. It is a five col- | umn paper (same size as the REFLEG- Tok) and as‘its name implies gives the news. re ee «J do not believe,” said W. J. Ar kell editor of Judge, the other day, in San Francisco, “that a man in active business can afford to take any office, no matter how high it may be. Dur- ing President Harrison’s first term he offered me the post of Minister to Ja. pan. Said I, ‘Mr. Harrison, there is no office you could name tha, I would take, no matter how high.’ ‘Why,’ said he, ‘do you not think you ought to sacrifice your personal wishes some- . times when you can be of service to your country? I replied that I didn’t think so, so long as there were so many volunteers. When he had vol- unteers he shouldn’t use the draft.” eee anenmend “Accidents?” said the old sea cap- tain. “No, we never have any to speak of on this line. Why, one trip about a year ago the ship caught fire down in the hold, and we never discov- ered it till we got into port and began to discharge.” “That’s strange. out?” “Why, it burned down through -to the sea and the water put it out. Couldn’t burn the water, you know.” And the captain walked away smil- ing, while theinterlocutor was so aston- ished that he never thought of asking why the ship didn’t sink—London doh Speaker. cen sme Why Not? ene secs What put the fire A foreigner, who has not been long in this country, and is learning our lan- guage, thus liberates his puzzled soul in verse : * Ifa lot of little mouse Are a lot of little mice, WwW hy are not a lot of houses Called a lot of little hice ? ‘Tf a lot of little gooses Are a lot of little geese. » Wny are not a lot of mooses Called a lot of little meese ?

As we said 160 trees can be planted on each acre and and, benefit tothe trees. We said that in 20 years trees could thus be grown which would be worth $75.00 or even more per tree. We now say furthermore, that of the 160 trees planted on each acre at least 100 of them should arrive at the stage of maturity without interference to the crops and an actual enrichment of the soil; and also, that if the man will study the nature of each tree as it grows he can train themto curl and also prob- any to produce a burl—Hickory Press. Boys and Matches. The boy who carries matches is about as dangerous as the fellow who points the unloaded gun at you. Re. cently we printed an account of two young boys settmg the woods afire on the eastern edge of town, and it was only by hard work that the destruc: tion of property was prevented. Last week some boys set the fence on fire, on Davie avenue, between the Feats dence of Dr. L. Harrill and Mr. Tom Murdoch (the property owned by Mr. J. J. Sullivan ), and only a timely dis- covery and prompt work prevented what would have probably been a se- rious conflagration. We douot know that in either of these cases there was any intention on the part of the boys to do serious damage; or that it occurred to them that disaster might result, but this does not help the mat- ter. A gentleman who was in the Landmark office when this last _ fire was reported, told of an: incident with- m_ his knowledge, which oceurred re- cently in the upper edge of South Carolina..
