The tobacco factory of J. W. Dood & Co., at Winstou, including 40,000 pounds of leaf and a large amount of plug tobacco, was destroyed by fire Thursday. Fiftsen thousand acres of «land in Camberland and Harnett counties, N. C., have been purchased, on which an extensive settlement of Norweigians and Swedes is to be made. Mr. W. A. Davis, tor a number of years a member of the firm of. Davis & Gregory, of Oxford, and more re- cently of Richmond, died at his home in Lynchburg _Wednesday.—Roxboro Courier. Cupid is an eccentric fellow, and sometimes brings about rather strange and unexpected events. Among the latest is the marriage of Mr. Andrew F. Torrence, aged 20 years, and Mra. Catharine Setzer, aged ‘70. This wed- ding, remarkable only for the disparity in the ages of the contracting parties, took place last Thursday evening — “| Lenoir Topic. Some fishermen caught a strange eel at the Falls the other day. It was about two and a half feet long and about the thickness of a man’s wrist, but the funny part about him was his head. He had a mouth full of teeth, so fullthat it could not be closed. Be- sides these he had four crooked ones in his throat. It was™a rare curiosity — Rocky Mount Argonaut. The Life of an Editor. By the aid of the paste cup, and oar darling friend (the scissors) we write our authobiograph for the benefit of our ) | subscribers and patrons. Verily the life of an editor is a path of thorns. His bread is promises and his meat is disappointment. His creditors chase him by day and the devil grinneth at him in his dreams by night. He sendeth the paper to a subscriber on credit and the subscriber payeth him never. Then he stoppeth the delinquent™® paper, and the delinquent singeth tra la! and borroweth it of a neighbor. One subscriber payeth his subscrip- tion in wood, and behold it isrotten and soggy and of short measure. He whoopeth up the township pol- itician and the politician gets elected and knoweth him no more forever. He puffeth the church fair gratis and then attendeth it and payeth his quarter and receiveth two oysters. He boometh his town and all things therein, and yet receiveth no support, and is 2 man without honor in his own , country. — Two young people marry and he giveth them a great puff, and they go to housekeeping and taketh not his paper. Yea, he is bowed down with woe and his days are full of grief and nies and vexation of spirit. But sorrow endureth orly for a night and joy cometh in the morning. He ploddeth, along and endureth in, patience, and it.is written that ne will receive his. reward at the jugment-Ex | “ wthe One Day in Siven.”” .

It is not always that which we like best that does us the most good. Love is an itching of the heart which you are unable to scratch. More men are ruined by foolish friends than by wise enemies. Disobedience first begun because Eve would have some wicked fun. Women love always—so they pro- fess—men love when they are not busy.

The number of marriages registered ‘was 226,449, corresponding to a rate of 15.1 persons 1893 was 14.7, and the average'rate from 1884 to 1893 was 14.9. This reeovery coincided with a slight fall in the value of British exports, and with a fall in the price of wheat of 13.3 per cent. below that of 1893, which had been the lowest on record. Of the marriages contracted in 1894 155,352, or 686 per 1,000, were celebrated according to the rites of the Established church, and. 71,097, or 314 per 1,000 otherwise. Of} the 221,215 couples whose ages were stated in the register the mean ages were 28.41 for men and 26.15 for women. The figures for 1894 show the first nota- ble break in the increase of the mean age at marriage, which has been going on for several years. This is not accom- panied by any increase in the propor- tions of under-age marriages. Lirths during the year numbered 890,289, and were in the proportion of 29.6 per 1,000 persons living, being the ‘owest on record, and showing a fall! of 2 per 1,000 below the mean rate in the preceding decennium. The deaths amounted to 498,827, a proportion of | 16.6 per 1,000. The average rate in the preceding ten years was 19.2, The death rate in 1894 was considerably lower than in any previous year on record, In 1894 the death rates at the: several age groups were not only con- siderably lower than the mean rates | in the previous four years, but were also lower even than the exceptionally | low rates of 1888 and 1889. The death rate in the urban districts was 17.1, or more than 15 per cent., and in the rural districts 15.6, or nearly 11 per cent. below the decennial average. The deaths from smallpox numbered 820, or 27 per 1,000,000, as compared with 49 per 1,000,000 in 1893, The scarlet-fever rate was the lowest, and the enteric- fever rate almost the lowest cn record. On the other hand, the diphtheria mor- tality was 55 per cent. above the decen- nial average. The deaths attributed to suicide were 2,729, or 91 per 1,000,000, the highest rate on record.—Chicago Inter Ocean. NORTHERN WITCHES. In Modern Times Belief in Them Ha: fReen Quite Common. So lately as the middle of this century a girl of Louisburgh, near Wick, was ac- cused of being in league with the “pooers o' mischief,” and a remedy akin to» that recently. practiced with sueh | tragic results in Ireland was devised, | She was placed in a basket, lined with shavings of wood, which was then hung over a fire. The issue in this case was not fatal, but the folk averred that she was not “half so witch-like” after she had been singed. A hag of the northern isles was at times thought to be meta- thorphosed imto.a porpoise, and in fair “weather she would dive under and over- turn a fishing boat, against whose skip- per she bore a grudge. Ononeoccasion she was made to place her hand on the bodies of several men who had met their death in such a way, aad, in the words of the old chronicler, eme “bled at the collir bane,” another “in the hands and fingers, gushing out blind thairat, to the great admiratione of the beholders and revelation of the judg- ment of the Almychtie.” *"A host of stories tell of morthern witches’ who have given diseases to horses, oxen and flocks of moorland sheep. Herdsmen to this day distrust unknown persons who touch the food of’ their kye, lest it be poisoned. In Shetland the cat or vaneja is negarded as an animal'which brings good luck; if she is seen to run toward the boat's nust there is :sure to be a good catch. In Chaithnesa, on the contrary, witches y~ frequently appear in the form of cats. A carpenter of Scrabster in the olden times was systematically tobbed of his meal and cakes. He thought it “eu’na be cannie,” and one night as he watched he saw a number of cats devouring his property. Ina trice he cut off the right leg of one of them, whereupon they made their escape with a rapidity which Trae Form of the Moon. You were doubtless taught, as was the writer, that the moon is globular- ‘shaped; or, in other words, that its form is similar to that of the earth. According to the teachings of advanced modern astronomy this is alla mistake.

Mr. Ricky Moore tells us that a tenant house on his place, five miles below town, was destroy- ed by fire Wednesday atternoon. The house was occupied by a colored family, all of whom but three small children were out at work at the time. Parties out in the field saw the smoke and went running to the house, reach- ing there just in time to save the two smallest children. Nothing at all could be saved from the house, the occupants losing every thing they had. Cod Fish, Irish Potatoes, Prepared Buckwheat, Oat Flakes, Cheese, Mac- caroni, P. R. Molasses, at S. M.
