Page & Co. took fire yester(i ay afternoon and the flames were leaping ana roaring nign aDove the roof before they were discovered. Fortunately their tank was full of water and the hose and waterworks in apple pie order. By the use of these the fire was brought under control in a few minutes. The wind was brisk and nothing but the kiln's brick walls prevented the fire from getting away and working itself into a destructive conflagration. Rocky Mount Phcenix . A sin gular accident happened a day or two ago to Wright Taylor, engaged on Mr. Barnes new house on Wash ington street. He fell from where he was at work, head foremost, into an ogen well. The Water was up to the curb and Wright disappeared from V;PW ;n its waterv denths. There I J r was ereat excitement. The other ' workmen did not seem to know what to do. Mr. Barnes got a hoe and commenced to troll for him, but could find nothing of him. At Mrs. Barnes' suggestion, the curb was knocked off and thus getting the hoe further down in the well, got hold of him and pulled him out. He was uncon scious, having been immediately stunned by the fall. Dr. Braswell soon brought him around all right. . . . : I.aGrippe.

Lost in a snow storm during Feb-j ruary in Minnesota or -Dakota would; prove no novel experience, but being lost in a snow storm in Brunswick county, North Carolina, within a few miles of the Gulf Stream, is an ex perience "-which probably has never been given anyone else but myself, and is one worth recording. . The twenty-fourth of last February 1 was in Town Creek, in this county, on business connected with my pa per. The day was dark and weather threatcnlrg when I decided to return to Southport, a distance of some eighteen miles, and although snow began f illing when I h:;d covered the ; first five miles, I thought nothing of it, considering it simply a flurry of short duration, as snows usually are in this climate. But instead of cens ing, the flakes continued steadily and thickly to fall, and, having passed the last house on the road, with the snow blinding his eyes, my horse showed au unmistakable desire to stop, m fact would only go forward when I got out to lead him. Through the falling snow, now sev eral inches deep, which stuck to everything and "balled" under foot, I made slow progress, urging and dragging on my thoroughly discour aged horse, and thus made probably three miles. To continue in this manner was impossible, and, thinking to make better and quicker progress, I unhitched my cart and left it at the side of the road. On horseback over mud holes, on loot where it aflorded walking, I con tinued, trying to ascertain where I was and keeping a lookout for the main road leading to Southport. I guessed it to be about eight o'clock. The night was black as tar, the snow was level "-with" the wire grass, the wagon road indiscernible, the wind blowing a gale . with snow falling heavily, when I started in the direc tion where I decided the telegraph line which followed the Southport road ought to be. Dragging my animal along behind me, in the dark ness and storm I missed seeing a tele graph pole or wire, was soon in a clump oi cedar trees and passing through these could not fix my local ity until a little further on I came to a road landing which I knew was on Walden Creek. I started to regai the main road but after a short struj gle with a horse that preferred tree shelter to open roads, and not know ing of any house which I could reach in that neighborhood. I decided to camp out until daylight. It was de cidediy "camping out," with OUT .expressed in large letters. Six inches of snow under foot and more: coming down, but remembering the wood pile at the landing, I struggled down there and brought back under the trees several pieces. Lightwood or oak ? was my thought as I scraped off the snow. But lightwood it proved to be, so making a shelter with blanket and coat, I crawled un der, hacked off a few chips, untwisted some cold, wet fingers and brought out my matches. If you want to know how it seemed to me getting that fire started, the reader must try it for himself. I had to hold my cover close until I got the wood well started, and everyone acquainted with lightwood knows it makes "some" smoke. However, half strangled and suffocated as I was with smoke when I came out, I had the satisfaction of a fire, and a fire meant warmth and company. Looking at my watch I saw it was half past nine o'clock. I piled up some bushes for my horse to eat, if he wanted to, which he did, and securing some"cedar boughs for The Old Friend And the best friend, that never fails you, is Simmons Liver Regu lator, (the Red Z) that's what you hear at the mention of this excellent Liver medicine, and people should not be persuaded that anything else will do.

Southport Leader. Tennyson on Spring. We have the word of Alfred Ten nyson for it that in the spring the young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. It is singular that the great laureate omitted to mention the fact that it is in the spring that a considerable portion of the human race turn to taking Hood's Sarsapar illa. Probably nothing but the diffi culty of finding a good rhyme for that invaluable remedy deterred him. Certain it is that the old-time domes tic remedies are generally discarded in favor of the standard blood puri fier, Hood's Sarsaparilla, which has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite Spring Medicine. It purifies the blood and gives nerve, mental, bod ily, and digestive strength. The Republican Ontlook. Thomas H. Carter, Chairman of j the Republican National Committee, discusses this subject in the current number of the North American Re view. Of course he arrives at the conclusion that "the Republican par ty can and will succeed in 1896." The fact that it is the business of the Hon. Tom to predict and figure out success for his party, and that he did it to the President's taste in 1890 and again in 1892, renders the al leged reasons for his conclusions of small moment. Without any great effort we can compress into three lines more truth and better prophecy than Chairman Carter has spread over his ten broad pages. The Republican outlook for 1896 will depend altogether upon the Democratic backlook in that year. If the Democrats in Congress shall pass with reasonable promptitude a genuine tariff-reform bill, and if the currency shall be protected from a danger similar to that which pro duced the Republican monetary pan ic of last summer, the prospect of Democratic success in 1896 will be excellent. With the tariff question settled on the basis of reasonable protection, and the consumers relieved of bur densome taxes now collected solely in the interest of monopolies, the country will be in no mood to reopen the question. No campaign for high er taxes was ever popular. The pro tected manufacturers themselves would be strongly opposed to a fur ther unsettlement of their business. If the Democratic party does its duty and redeems its pledges the "Republican outlook" in 1896 wil be for four years more of Democrat ic rule. New York World. Strength and Health.

T" e colonel, however, disap- proved c : sub-lieutenants getting married, a d particularly of the mar riage of th sub in question. As he happened t.) be a friend of the young man's father, he thought to prevent the union of the fond couple by send ing a peremptory telegram couched in the following words, "Join at once." - The son of Mars was in despair. He presented himself before his in tended with the fatal missive in his hand and anything but a look of pleasure on his countenance, but the lady was equal to the occasion. With 'a blush of maiden simplicity and virgin innocence she cast down her eyes on the ground and re marked : "Dear me, I'm glad your colonel approves of the match, but what a hurry he is in ! I don't think I can get ready so soon, but I'll do my best, because, of course, love, the commands of your colonel must be obeyed." The young warrior looked puz zled. "Don't you see, my darling," he said, "that this confounded telegram puts a stopper on our plans ? You don't seem to understand the tele gram. He says peremptorily, 'Join at once.'" , -, The lady's blushes redoubled, but with a look of arch simplicity she mised her lovely, eyes to her fiance and replied : "It is you, my darling, who don't seem to understand it. Your colo nel says plainly, 'Join at once,' by which he means get married imme diately. What else can he possibly mean ?" A look of intelligence replaced the air of bewilderment on the young hero's clasic features.' He accepted the explanation and was enabled to answer the colonel's telegram in 48 hours afterward in these words: "Your orders are obeyed. We were joined at once." Texas Sittings. The Modem Way.

ConTention Held and Nomination Made in Sixteen Minut, "The first time I was nominated for Congress," said Representative Alexander, of the sixth North Caro lina district, "the convention which met for the purpose got through its work in the shortest time on record. It was called to order, organized, and nominated your humble servant in the brief space of 16 minutes. "How did it happen ? Well, you see the district is over 200 miles long, and the convention was held at the junction of two railroads that con nected with every county. Trains always stop there twenty minutes for dinner, and as it was a busy time with most of the delegates, they came to an understanding that the work could be expedited so that every member who wanted to could catch his train for home. The programme wacarried out to the letter, and not a man failed to catch the cars in the four minutes remaining. Tewbern Journal, A gentleman had a board put up on a part of his land, on which was written, "I will give this field to any one who' is really contented;" and when an applicant came, he asked, "Are you contented?" the general answer was, "I am;" and his reply was, "Then what do you want with my field?"

An Anson County Man Turns Cp After a Mysterious Absence of Sixteen Years His Wife Married to Another Man. The Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer of March 29th tells this inter esting story: During the year 1875 John Powell married Miss Georgia Ann Bailey, daughter of Mr. Asbury Bailey, who lives near Wadesboro. Powell and his wife lived together for three or four years, when suddenly, without warning, the man disappeared. For ten years after Powell's disappeai ance his wife remained true to him, but as nothing was heard from him during all that time she resumed her maiden name and married again. In 1887 she married Jas. A. Dixon and has since lived happily with him, bearing him several children. But the peace and quietude of Dixon's home was rudely broken in upon last week when Powell, the recreant husband, saddenly appeared on the scene. "- . Powell claims that he has been in Alabama ever since he first left An son, sixteen years ago, but, so far as we have heard, he does not 6ffer any excuse for his peculiar actions! He claims that he did not know that his wife had married again until he was in half a mile of her home, when one of her neighbors gave him the infer- t? 11 . maiion. ne appears to De very much disappointed and says that he came back after his wife, as he wished to take her to Alabama with him. Powell visited the office ot the reg ister of deedslast Friday to look up the record of his own marriage and also that of Dixon, both of which he found duly recorded. During his visit to the office he requested Mr. Benton, in a very serious manner, to please tell him whose wife the wo man in controversy was anyhow, as he wanted the matter settled. He said that Dixon was willing - to give her up, but that Mrs. Powell, or Mrs. Dixon, as the case may be, had a very decided predilection lor Dixon, and up to that time he had not been able induce her to return with him to his Alabama home. Mr, Benton was not able to suggest a way out of the dilemma, and the last news we have of the matter the woman was still Mrs. Dixon. Wilmington Mes senger.

A man was telling me to-day what good times there were in old times, about 80 years ago, when people would nx up ana roll a hogshead of tobacco to Petersburg and Richmond, Va., and get $1.50 and $2.00 per hundred for it and comes home blowing horns with great joy. I here were not so many educated fools in those days, people did not want the world and the full ness thereof. He related a story to me 01 actual occurrence - oaia one summer when he was a small boy it was very dry and the old people would burn stumps to make it rain, and that had failed, and they cut down all the sassafras trees standing in their fields for shade. .This had never fai'ed before, but no rain this time. So they, all assembled at church to pray for rain and the pray ing commenced. Finally they called on one Joshua Norton to offer up petition. Joshua said, "Brethren, will pray as you ax me, but I will be darned if it ever rains till the wind shifts." Now I see and hear a great many candidates for office, but they are not going to get elected unless the Cleveland wind shifts. Oxford Ledger.

Every vehicle - in the place had been engaged except an express wagon that operated as the town dray. Even the hack that us ually conveyed passengers from the depot to the hotels was put into re quisition, and the express wagon took its place as a bus. The only thing left undone was'to obtain information of the fact that the train changed time on that day and came in two hours earlier than usual. " ! "It came in, and two passengers alighted Hon.
