There have been thirty-nine falls of snow at Boone, Watauga county, since Oc tober. That town enjoys the destinc tion of having the greatest altitude of any town East ;of the Mississippi river.

A called meeting of the Fayette ville bar was held on Monday after noon, the 29th ult., at 5 o'clock, at the office, of Mr. T. fl.

Mr. Everett Rouse's dwelling, about two miles from Kin ston, was destroyed by fire last Tues day night. Only a small portion of the turniture was saved. We are glad to learn that the house and fur niture were insured for $1,500. and that it will occasion no very great loss to jir. Kouse. MR. BLAINE'S PLANS FOR THE YEAR 1888. From the Philadelphia Times. , "Politics is barred in this house. I am fflad to see my friends when they do not wish to revive the old story of public life," Thus spake Mr. Blame to a inena of mine, who only a day or two ago called upon! him ai his home at Au- , .... .. ... "1 have never oeennappier, in uei ter health, or more contented in my life," said the Plumed Knight, with a merry twinkle in his eye. My friend says that his looks, man ners, and conversation showed that he told the truth. Despite the as surance that politics and politicians were distasteful to him, Mr. Blaine could not help touching upon current events and public men during the few hours' conversation which followed. What with his "Twenty Years in Con gress" finished, no cares for the future, Mr. Blaine has a right to feel con tented with : himself and the world. But the fact is, that Mr. Blaine is looking out for a renomination. i He left the impression upon the gentleman who brings this news of his everyday life that he would not turn a wheel in the coming contest for the Republican Presidential nomi nation. He will even do less than he did before, and abide by the decision of his party;. This, of course, means that he either expects to be nominated or to control the nomination of the next Republican candidate.- The fire of his animosity toward Mr. Conkling and the Stalwarts is being in a meas ure rekindled by the reappearance of New York's great ex-benator into public notoriety. His conversation develops the fact that he takes the same interest in men as ever, and exDects to be in nrinte condition for good or evil when the Convention meets. The tacts appear to be, so far as his friends can gather them, that Mr. Blaine's position is that of interestincr neutrality iust now. But that he holds the cards for renomina tion it he wants to use them no one appears to doubt. I am reminded of this by the appearance of two strong men speakine from entirely different stand points. . Ex-Gov. Charley Foster of Ohio, told me the other day that, taking the rank and hie of the party in the West, nine out ot every ten men were in favor of Mr. Blaine's renomination. Ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia, 'who is a Democrat and father-in law of Steven Elkins, said to me only a day or two before that through his spectacles Mr. Biaine was the only Republican candidate really in sight. The feelihg seemed to be almost universal among the Demo crats, here, due in a great me'asure per haps to the failure of Mr. Cleveland to please those who demand the loaves and fishes and don't get them. The Irish are still hankering after the Plumed Knight. ASKING TO BE EXCUSED. The subjoined letter written by President Cleveland, clearly shows that his heart is not made of adamant. The recipient, a resident of Cam bridge City, Ind., though only in her eighteenth year, on the 2d of Feb ruary last gave birth to triplets, hav ing previously one child, all four of whom are now living. The Presi dent was asked to name them, and this is his reply: Executive Mansion, Washington, March 19, 1886. Mrs. Minnie Scott , Dear Madam : Your letter portray ing a condition which greatly excites my sympathy is received. I have many such and find it utterly impos sible to comply with the requests for aid which thev contain in a srreat many cases. 1 am so well convinced of your truthfulness and good faith that I am constrained to send you a small sum, which I hope will add to your com fort and that of the young triplets. I am so little accustomed to matters of that kind that I must ask to be excused from the attempt to erive completion, names to the three little girls. 1 ours truly, Grover Cleveland. , Agents !

I tested four rows about 140 yards long, with Standard Fertilizers, and weighed every pound of the cotton, and thft rows on which I put the '.'Prolific" made 10 pounds of cotton more than the other Will use "Prolific" next season. Very respectfully, CARROLL LAHGDON, Goldsboro Oil Company, Goldsboro, N. C. Gentlemen I used Prolific Guano on my crop of cotton last year and made the following test on six acres of land. I applied the following per acre : 40 Bushels Cotton Seed, worth t 600 40 Bushels Stable Manure, worth 2 50 40 Bushels Good Marl, worth 00 j Add Cost of Mixing 50 i , $ 13 00 I selected six acres of same quality of land and applied four hundred (400) pounds "Prolific" Guano per acre, costing $6.00. I gathered two hundred (200) pounds of seed cotton, per acre, more from the land on which I used "Prolific" I was so well satisfied from the result of this fair and impartial test that I have sold my seed to the Mill and expect to use "Prolific" on my next crop, exclusively. GEORGE W. BEST. N. C. j bMITIIFIELD, Goldsbord Oil Company, Goldsboro, N. C. Gkntlemen You wish to know how I like the "Prolific Cotton Grower'1 Fertilizer. I think it the best fertilizer I ever used. I tried it with four brands of standard fertilizer and found that it paid better by itself than either of the others with 20 bushels of cotton seed per acre. I put 200 pounds in the drill and from 50 to 100 pounds in with the seed. My best cotton was where I used "Prolific Cotton Grower." The "Prolific" will cause the cotton to open earlier and hold its own better than any other I ever used. I cheerfully recommend it to any one who wants a first-class fertilizer. D. S. AVERA. Harnett County, N. C. Goldsboro' Oil Company, Goldsboro, JV. C. Deab Sirs I take great pleasure in recommending the "Prolific Cotton Grower" to the farmers. It is the best guano I -ever used. It kept my cotton green and growing until the top bolls matured. I will use the "Prolific" this year. Yours, very truly, B. W. LEE. Goldsboro Oil Company, Goldsboro, N. C. I hav? used and sold guano for several years, of different brands. I find my customers like the "Prolific Cotton Grower Fertilizer" betttr than any they have ever used. I find it carries the cotton to maturity by keeping it green and growing until frost; it stands the dryand wet weather better than any I have used. I shall use the "Prolific" next year and cheerfully recommend it to my friends. P. JI. C. DUPREE. Mesrs. Borden Bros., GoldsboroJ N. C. Gentlemen I used forty five tons of the "Prolific Cotton Grower Fertilizer" last year. It is as good as any guano I ever used, and on sandy land or where cotton is apt to take the rust, I con ider it the best. I will continue to use it as long as you keep it up to its present standard. It being a home enterprise the manufacturers oi it ought to be encouraged, especially when it is equal to the very best. Yours truly, W. A. SMITH. Smithvield, N. C. Goldsboro OH Co., Goldsboro, N. C. Gentlemen I used forty tons of Standard Guano on my f?.rm last year. One of my tenants desired to try the "Prolific Cotton Grow er" and I bought one ton for him, and saw it tested beside other brands. The weed where the "Prolific Cotton Grower" was put was one quarter larger and the yield in cotton was one third more. It is every farmers' duty to buy the best fertilizer. I shall use forty tons of the "Prolific" this year. Yours truly, WILLIS H. AVERY. Smithfield, N. C. Goldsboi'o Oil Company, Goldsboro, N. C. Dear Sirs I have used several brands of Guano for tobacco, and last year I used the "Prolific Cotton Grower." I know it paid me better than any kind I ever used under tobacco or cotton. I used ten tons last year and will want ten this year. JOSEPH FULLER. Smithfield, N. C. Goldsboro Oil Company, Goldsboro, N. C. Dear Sirs Last spring you came to see me with a sample of the "Prolific Cotton Grower, asking me to sell for you and more par ticular to use it on my farm I did not like it, was afraid to try it, and sold all I bought except two sacks. One I used on. very poor land and the other on improved land side by side with another high grade Fertilizer. The "Prolific" growed off the cotton quicker and held its squares better during the drought than any other kind I used. I will say, and mean exactly what 1 say, that if I had have used the "Pro lific" on my farm of 70 acres I think I would hare made at least five bales of cotton more than I did make with the kind I used. All farmers to whom 1 sold the "Prolific" say they are kighly pleased with its action on cotton and will have no other next season. R- ! LASSITERt S A Mr son County; N. C.

I will use the "Prolific" this year, and advise those who want a first class brand of Guano to buy it Yours, &c, SAMPSON WARREN. CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS OF PROLIFIC COTTON GROWER MADE BY MESSRS.
