LATE NEWS. ‘i Pittsburg, Pa, hada $2,500,000 fire on Morday. Several distinct earthquake shakes were felt in portions of this State and Virginia about noon on Monday. Tae Naval Reserves of North Car- dlina, South Carolina and Georgia are planning to have an encampment to- gether this summer. During the last five mouths 189,728 tons of fertilizer were sold in this State. Putiing this at an average price of $22.50 aton makes an outlay of $4,- 268,880. This is an enormous drain upon the farmers. A unique suit is that which has been begun by the state of Missouri to re- cover from the estate of Arthur Dues- strow, who was recently hanged for murder, the cost of the prosecution which led up to that result. Tar River Lodge K. of P. In Masonic hall, Tuesday night, was organized a Knights of Pythius lodge under the name of Tar: River Lodge. Visiting Pythians were here from Wil son, Rocky Mount, Tarboro and Wash- ingicn. The following officers were elected and installed: Chancellor Commander,—IL W. Whedbee. Vice Chancellor.—L. 1. Moore. Prelate.—Dr. R. L, Cacr. Master of Work.—G. J. Woodward. Keeper of Record and Seals.—Frank Witson: Master of Finance.—R. Williams. Master of Exchequer.—F. C. Hard- ing. Master of Arms.—B. F. Sugg. Inner Guard.—J. Hugh Parham, Outter Guard.-—J. M. Reuss. Past Chancellors.—Dr. C. O’H. Laughiuglouse, Frank Wilson and J. Hugh Parbam. Fourteen members were initiated and it took until 4:30 A. M. to complete the work. Som:thiag Worth Knowing, Mr. Johu A.

Use a liberal quantity and put fresh ones on several times a day until the wound heals, A strip of cloth poultice in place, ot course. One of Mr. Sims’ sons stepped on a nail a few days ago, which penetrated his shoe avd foot to a considerable depth. Peach tree leaves were applied and the wound is healing up nicely.

The Century. He tells the following story of the cam- paign on the North Anna in the /eb- ruary Century: When I reercssed the river and returned to headquar- ters in the evening, I found General Grant sitting in front of his tent smoking a cigar and anxious to hear the report as to the extent of the damage to the railroad. About the time I finished relating to him what had been accomplished an old wom- an who occupied a small house near by strolled over to headquarters, apparently bent upon having a friendly chat with the commander of the Yankee armies. The number of questions she asked showed that she was not lacking in the quality of curiosity which is supposed to be common to hcr sex. She wore an old fashioned calico dress about six inches too short, wiih the sleeyes rolled up tu ihe elbows. She hada nosé so sharp that it looked as if it had been caught in the crack of a door and small gray eyes that twinkled and snapped as she spoke. She began by nodding a familiar‘ ‘““How do you do?’’ to the general ed like the high notes of an E flat clarinet with a soft reed, ‘‘I believe you command all these hyah Yan- kees that are comin down hyah and cavortin round over this whole sec- tion of country?’’ The general bowed an asseut, and she continued, “Tm powerful glad General Lee has been lickin you all from the Rapidan cl’ah down hyah, and that now he’s got you jes’ whah he wants you.”’ Then she drew up a camp chair on it and, finding that het remarks seemed to be received good natured- ly, grew still more familiar. and went on to say: ‘‘Yes, and afo’ long Lee’ll be a-chasin you all up through Pennsylvany ag’in. Was you up aftah you ajl last summer?’’ The general had great difliculty in keep- ing his face straight.as he replied: “Well, no; I wasn’t there myself. I had some business in another di- rection.’’ He did not explain to her that Vicksburg was at that time commanding something of his atten- tion. Said she: ‘I notice our boys got away with lots af ‘em Conestoga hosses up thah, and they brought lots of ’em back with ’em. We've got a pretty good show of ’em round this section of country, and they’re jes’ the best draft horses you ever see. Hope the boys'll get up thah agin, soon and bring back some morewot ‘em.’ The general kept on:smoking his: ’ cigar abd was greatly amused by the conversation.
