Two female evangelists are preaching to the convicts on the State farm near Weldon. The Cummock (Coal Company, of Chatham county, at whose mine the \ | terrible explosion occurred ‘in Decem- ber and 40 people Jost their lives, has gone into the hands of a receiver. Two hundred employees of Sparger Bros. tobacco factory, at Mt. Airy, struck a few days ago. Their alleged | grievance was they were receiving 25 cents less per hundred pounds for roll- ing tobacco than was paid last year. The Woman’s Foreign Missionary so- ciety of the N. C. conference will meet in the M. E. Church of Kinston on May 7th at 10 a. m., closing with the services of Sunday following. The annual ser- mot willbe by Rev. T. N. Ivey, of Wilson, Sunday morning. All are cor- dially invited—Kinston Free Press. Mr. Nick Caldwell, of the Poplar Tent neighborhood was in the city yesterday. He had hams and cotton to sell, One of the hams weighed 65 pounds. Such specimens are scarce ; but this shows what Mecklenburg can do. Mr. Caldwell made 104 bales of cotton last year—Charlotte Observer. The Elizabeth City Economist says: “‘L'yrrell boasts of a family of five whose combined weight is 975 pounds. It is that of J. A. Hollaway, agent of Pettit’s N. C. Line at Hollaway’s Pier, and their respective weights are as fol- lows: J. A. Hollaway, 212; Mrs. Hol- laway. 189 ; Miss Hollaway, 189 ; son, 187 ; baby boy, 198.” Teel-Spain Marriage. At Mt. Pleasant church, four miles from Greenville, on Wednesday even- ing, April 29th, at 9 o’clock, Mr.'J. A. Teel ani Miss Mottie M. Spain, daugh- |ter of Mr. S. H. Spain, were married by Rev. J. W. McNamara. The attendants were W. T. Fleming and Mise Claude Spain, W. 8. Briley and Miss Lizzie Spain, J. S. Spain and Miss, Ele Smith, W. J. Bri- ley and Miss Emily Cobb, L. F. Evans and Miss Lucy Briley, J. V. Johnson and Miss Nora Briley, John Bell and Miss Olivia Johnson, L. N. Briley and Miss Viney Ward, William House und Miss Lennie Fleming. The ushers were Charlie Briley and Andrew Outterbridge. After the ceremony an elegant sup- per was served at the home of the groom. May their wedded life be filled wih happiness. Give the Farm a Name. It has been frequently suggested that great good would result trom each far- mer placing his name and that of his farm in a conspicuous place ou his barn orroad gate. Not only would persons driving for the first time to the place more easily find it, but it would add much pleasure and interest to. people driving from place to place, This lat- with. regard to well kept and pretty houses. An observiag person will sel- dom pass a beautitul farm without a desire to know who is its enterprising owner, If such a practice were gener al, a marked improvement in the ap- pearance of our farmé, and therefore our country, could not fail to result. Every tidy man would feel a heighten- ed interest in making his farm front roadsides, etc., more beautiful, knowing that every passer by would commend him as the owner. It.would also have a good effect upon the untidy man’s farm, because the contrast between his slovenly place and his neighbor's well- kept home would shame him into fence repairing, tree planting and other lines of improvement. The idea of naming the farm is certainly commendable—Ex. The editorial pages of the Review of Reviews for May are especially strong in their treatment of current foreign affairs and international topics. The Cuban war and its relations to Spanish politics, the boundary difficulty between Brazil and French Guiana, other South America matters, the pre- sent status of Canadian politics, Amer ican policy toward Turkey, the Soudan expelition, England’s position among the Powers with reference to Egypt, the British alliance with Italy, Russian interest in Abyssinia, the rising in Matabeleland, and the Budapest Ex- position, are subjects which fall within the month’s survey and which are in- telligently discussed in the Review’s de- partment of “The> Progress of the World.” At Newport News, Tuesday morn. ing, the Old Dominion steamer Wya- noke, bound from Richmond to New York, collided with the United States cruiser Columbia while the latter lay at anchor. The Wyanoke was badly damaged and sunk half an hour after the collision. She had 107 passengers on board, all of whom are believed to have been saved but lost their baggage and wearing apparel. The Columbia also sustained considerable damage and will have to go to the navy yard for re- pairs. ter result. would. have especial effect)’ 25 Years Experience is what we have in select ing Ladies Wearing Apparel for the people around Greenville.

Adams, of Bowling Green, has a head of her own and invents strange ways of doing things. She was raised as a house chicken and was expected of courseto put on a little more’ style than the common fowl hatched under the corn-crib and brought up with nothing more than barn-lot manners, but it was not expected that she would have such original ideas about laying and sitting. When she was old enough to think of keeping house for herself she began laying but notin a nest. She perched herself on a pole about ‘seven feet from. the ground and laid her setting of eges from \that position... Strange as anything else is the fact that none of the eggs. were broken by the fall bu# were ‘all gath- ered ap. . When she was ready to sit she sat on the pole. As this seemed. to be a slow process, a bea: was nailed up near she pole, a nest was male, some fresh eggs put: in, and Miss Wyandotte invited to take a seat and make ‘he rself at home. Thisshe did at once, seeming proud: to know that she had caaght on to the correct way.
