JOYNER. mee 7 eet, There is still a great deal of com- plaint among the farmers about. scar- city of plants and these who have them sav they are very small tor the season of the year. “The people of our beautiful sunrise seetion-bave climbed the ladder’ to. the last round in the growth of bright to- bacco and fling their banner to the winds,” is the caption of the Greenville articlein the tobacco editign of the News and Observer. There is not a more progressive element er class of men in the South, or in the nation so far as that goes, than the tobaccontsts of North Caro- lina. The recent tobacco edition of the Raleigh News und Observer shows to what extent the tobacco men will go to work keeping themselves and their business up with the march of progress. Mr. Arendell saysthere was not a mark- et in the State, not even one, that was not represented in’ this issue, and it seemed that each one vied with the other to see what credit could be done | the tobacco interests. Itis now in order to enquire again if the people of Greenville are going to take any steps toward securing a Board of Trade or Chamber of Come merce for the town. The objects, aims and purposes of a Board of Trade have been frequently set forth by this paper and it certainly seems that some steps ought to be taken at once to organize. There are numbers of young, energetic, active business men that ought to feel interest enough in the advancement of the town to lend a helping hand to this cause... The time has been when | our people could allow such things to be neglected, but the moral status of the community and the dignity of the town can no longer afford to treat such matters lightly. Can the people of Greenville afford not to have some means by which concerted action of the citizens can be secured when it is need- ed? If oné momient’s thought is given this matter it can be seen at a glance the absolute necessity ot such an or- ganization, even for. the protection of the private interests of each citizen, saying nothing about the public good to be derived from it. If we hada thor- oughly orgunized Board of Trade com- posed of the representative business men of the town there are many ad- vantages that could be had just tor the asking that we don’t enjoy now. A petition asking for any special measure that is for the public good instead of having to wait for some one to take, it and go individually to each man in the town for his signature and probably nine times in ten thé whole thing have tu be explained to each one separately, could be referred for action to this or | -rauization and disposed of while it was thought about outside. If there was anything needed which required a voice from the town instead of calling a spe- cial meeting of the citizens at the Court House. The whole matter could easily and systemmatically be disposed of without all this trouble if we had a Beard of Trade. Then again there are too many eyes turned to Greenville to-day, there are, | too many’ people who are beginning to} feel interested in our section, for’ us to showsuch a careless indifference about our, own town. and community, I. some ot our people, in tact all, of them, who are trying so hard to get rich in a short while, would give little’ more attention to such inatters #8 these they’ | ywould the better pave theit own way to J the temple of fortupe;and inerease, the |. spporfuntitiesofuecumulating wealth, By openitig apaer «rau ‘of eommiérce a “iy fowammiar tah 6) po ie i 2 Ne A hae :% : iMME OR» it, ght ALI CE et | those who hear him. stronger current of trade will most surely flow. It is upon this. principle that we argue that a Chamber of Com- merce or Board of Trade will benefit the individual as well as the whole town and no possible injury can result from it to anyone. What we need is more public spirited feeling and united action on the part of our citizens. A Board of Trade will produce this and we must have it. Wake Forest Locals.

We-have received it from the*hncient ‘Gauls, who were great nkers as well as feeders. , Undoubt- eat the use of beer was one as early as the use of wine. ” Among the Egyptians, Greckis Ro- thans and. Athenians beer, was made f' froit barley, while in Spais.and Britain wheat was used for maltivg. Tacitus in the first eentury said that beer was the ‘Usual drink of the Romans and the soldjers of Caesar introduced it into Britain, , . ‘So-called beér was maile in England a} long time ago by tapping spruce, fir, birch, maple and ash trees and using their juices, This process is still kept up in England and in this country, where homemade ae from roots are much used. Ale, which is more used ih i Hagbnd than in iAniterica, ig 4 heavier malted liquor ‘than beer, nnd contains a small proportion of hops. It was a favorite drink of the Anglo-Saxons and Danes. A more aristocratic drink is wine, the use of which is as old as civilization. Its origin is ascribed to the gods. The culture of the vine began'in Armenia and Pontus and scedily spread. most famous of Asiatie wines was that of Chalyb, which furnished the tables of the Persian kings. Wine was not uséd by the most'antiént Romans. Whisky, which is mere democratic than wine, is distilled from | yarious ( grains, from potatoes and from malted barley. It was named by the Celts in Irelanch and Scotland. Brandy, 4 drink not so universally used, is distilled trom wine 7 Cheng. News. b LI HUNG: GHANG'S DUPLICITY.

Lang deélined ‘ta re-enter it without ‘ddequate substantive tank.” Whether this stipulation was made by the Brit- ish board of admiralt ty before giving him leave to serve, oF Vea imposed by Capt, Lang himself, is imouiaterial. Wh rep Viceroy had todo + ie ba trive a’ formi'of words wh ‘ould ‘satisty the gnditio Ath disturb- ing the Chinese official arrangements. Capt. Lang was given the title of co-admiral with ‘ling, while all author- ity was secretly withheld from him. éo-almital, and’ there was nothing show that he was not, de facto, com- mander in chief, As soon, however, as tied the situation was revealed.

Bel (Oe? pate! | aay In the summer of the year 1830 Abraham Lincoln exercised the right of majority and started out to shift for himself. When he left his home to start life for himself he went empty- handed. He was already some months over 21 years of age, but he had noth- ing in the world, not even a suit of respectable ¢elothes; and one of the first pieces of work he did was “to split 400 rails for every yard of brown jeans ‘dyed .with white walnut bark that would be necessary to make him a pair of trousers:””.He had-no-trade, no pro- fession, no spot of land, no patron, no influence, Two things recommended him to his neighbors—he was strong and he was a good fellow, ‘His. strength made him a valuable laborer, Not that he was fond of hard labor. Mrs. Crawford says: “Abe was no hand to pitch into work like killing snakes,” but when ke did work it was with an ease and effectiveness which compensated his employer for the time he spent in practical jokes and extem- poreneous speeches. He wou!d lift as much as three ordinary men, and “My, how he would chop!” says Dennis Hanks. “Dis ax would flash and bite into a sugar tree or sycamore, and down it would come. If you heard him fellin’ trees in @ clearin’ you would say there was three men at work by the way the trees fell.” Standing six fect four, He could outlifi, outw ork and outwrestle any man he came in contact with. Friends and employers were proud of his strength, and beasted of it, never failing to pit him aguinst any hero whose strength they heard vaunt- ‘ed. He himself was proud of it, and throughout his life-was fond of compar: ing himself with tall and'strong meh. | Ne drove the oxen on the semoval of the Lincoln family from Indiana to THlinois, he tells us, and, ‘according to a story current in Gentryville, he suc- ceeded in doing a fair peddler’s busi- ness on the route. ‘Capt. William Jones, in whose father’s store Lincoln - had. spent so many hours in discussion and story-telling, and for whom he had worked the Iast winter be was in Tndi- ana, says that before leaving the state Abraham invested all his money, some thirty odd dollars, in notions. “A set of knives and forks was the largest item entered on the bill,” says Mr. Jones; “the other, itéms were needles, pins, thread, buttons and. other little domestic necessities. When the Lin- colns reached their new home near De- eatur, Tl. Abraham wrote baek to my father, stating that he had dorbiled his money on his purchases by selling them along the road.”—McClure’s Mag- azine. S CARE OF HATS. Fe een: aaa Specks of Dust, Ruffled Feathers and Pin- holes Are Not to Be Commended. ' The essential of woman’s attire, for which she pays the most fanciful price, is her hat. A simple felt snipe plainly trimmed with velvet and wings costs no mean sum, and when a more betrimmed ‘and’ beftrbélowed ‘affair is chosen, the drain on the purse makes the wearer wince. Yet how few wom- en take proper care of the dainty erea- ,tions after they:are purchased. It is the abuse. not the use, of the hat, that | makes it rapidly become shabby. } When it is ptt on for the first time the wearer must decide just where to insert the point of the hat pin so that it: will cnuse least harm. When the hat is worn thereafter care must be taken to put the pins in the holes made soon become roughened and marred with many punctures. When the hat is taken off it must be carefully brushed with a soft whisk broom and every par- ticle of Just dislodged from the brim and from the crown. The loops and bows must then be pulled straight and the feathers or wings smoothed into’ place if the wind has blown them into disorder. “A large band box lined witi: tissue paper is the proper receptacle far this easily injured head covering.
