Littleton Female College ex pects to have a new industrial building 50 by 60 feet 3.stones high ready tor use by the time of its fall opening. North Carolina is consider ably fewer feet above the sea level than it was a week ago, and the land that departed for parts unknown contained the choice product of fertilizer com panies, part of Neill's cotton es timate and the wheat and coin that would have been marketed at high prices in South Carolina during the next political cam paign. Only an expanse of dir ty water, the bullfrogs and clay are left. The water will go and only the green bullfrogs and the red"clay will remain. 'Tis a dismal thing—this land slip ping or stealing away; ano speaking in all seriousness, the scientific man, as well as the farmer, is now confronted with an agricultural problem that it new and vital.— Charlotte Ob server. There will be a Summer Con ference of Christian workers at Littleton Female College the last week in July under the aus pices of the Christian leacli ers' League. Very low rates of travel will be secured and this will be a tine opportunity for our readers to visit Littleton, which is a very popular sum mer resort. It seems that one enterpris ing gentleman of bent inclina tions has been the route of the Wilmington and Weldon road and pushed a new scheme on the ever-willing-to-be-touch ed truckers. I his time it was "bona fide." lie bought up all the berries on hand and in sight for several days to conn paid for them in advance with checks dated a week ahead and had shipments made to a num ber of different points. Those who got in the swim went around proudly exhibiting their new deals, backed up by check* and swelled so their suspender buttons simply groaned. Since the shipments the groans have distributed from top of head to soles of feet, and calomel jalap (not mint and julep) has had a push sale. The checks were "N. G.," and there's no telling whither the buyer or consignees have removed. —Raleigh Post. NOTICE.

A gentleman .who has a Christian spirit and ahorse for sale advertises as follows in a Minnesota paper: We have a good family driv ing horse for sale, providing you carry insurance. He is not over particular as to feed. In fact, he prefers our neighbors' haystacks and corncribs to our own. We feed him whenever we can catch him, which is seldom. | He is partly gentle. The other parts are not, and you must govern yourself accord ingly. We will throw in the derrick and telegraph pole combination which we use to hitch him up with. If you are fond of driving we would advise you to engage a cowboy that owns a fast horse to do your driving, and be sure and get on top of the barn be fore he begins to drive the horse. For price and coroner's ad dress applj to the owner. WIFE ABANOQNED, BIQAM IST GAOLED. - Charged with deserting wife and live children, collecting in surance money on proof of his wife's death,'and committing bigamy, Will J. Tyson, ayoung white man, a carpenter by trade, is behind the bars in \Y ake county jail, waiting the day of trial on three grave charges. Tyson was located in \ irgin ia some time ago and papers were sent there for him. When the Tabernacle Sunday School excursion went to Norfolk, on it went Mr. W. H. Hood, of the Register of Deeds office. He saw Tyson at Virgina Beach and informed Constable tp church of the fact. Upchuich arrested Tyson, who waived the formality ot requisition papers and was brought back to Ral eigh Thursday night. Tyson came to Raleigh from Fayetteville. He is a native of Cumberland county, having been born near Hope Mills, where his people now live. He is a carpenter, and a few months ago left "here to attend his wife's funeral, as he said, in Fayetteville. Returning he took out letters of administration on his wife's estate and collected the insur ance which she earriod on her life. This was in the Life Insur ance Company of Virginia and amounted to $144.00. ihe evi dence of his wife's death were conclusive and apparently regu lar. On March 14. of this year Ty son married Lizzie Powell, of East Raleigh, and at the same time E. P. Saint-sing, whose wife liad been dead but one week married her half sister, Callie Clemonds, of the same section of the eitv, the ceremony being performed by justice of the peace Barbee. In a few days Saintsing was drunk all the time. Tyson and wife went to Vir ginia and shortly after the in surance company here had a let ter from a woman they suppos ed was dead. It was from Mrs. Tyson No. 1 at Fayettevijle, and •die asked about her insurance, saving that she understood that her husband had collected the money, saying she was dead, and hau married another wo man. Upon investigation tlit proofs which Tyson had fur nished the company, of which Mr. N. E. Bradford is the su perintendent of agents here and Mr. R. B. Pegram is supervisor, were found to be forgeries, even to the signature of the justice ot the peace at Hope Mills, and that the statement about Ty son's having married again was correct. The company then began to search for Ty>on, and his arrest took place a~ stated. Mrs. Ty son, Xo. 2 came with him when he was arrested and is in East Raleigh. She says that she knew nothing of Tyson having another wife till after he was ar rested : that she loved him, and that he had treated her well. She took dinner to him yester day and says she will do all she can for him, but that if Mrs. Tyson No. i, will make no charge against him that she will give him up, as she thinks he ought to go back to the wife who has borne him live chil dren. She was very much re lieved when she learned that she would not bo involved in Tyson's trouble and spoke free ly of her future plans for a bet ter life. Tyson has employed Mr. J. C. L. Harris to represent him and is expecting lvis father to come to his aid. He intimated that others besides himself were concerned in the forgery of the proofs of his wife's death, but refused to name them. As to wife No. 1, he says that he could not get. along with and went to Durham from Fay etteville, and that while there she wrote him that she would not live with him. He said that some of his children were with his father, and that his father would take them all if his wife would let them go. He said he was sorry for the whole thing, but it was too late now to think of that. Tyson is about 32 years old and is rather good looking, talk ing easily and smoothly. Mrs. Tyson Xo. 2 is prepossessing iu appearance, and all her expres sions show that she will be glad if "Will" can get out of his trouble, without thinking at all about herself.—News and Ob server. (Our people will remember that this man Tyson lived in Dunn about a year ago, and got in debt to some of our merchants and attempted to leave without settlement, but his furniture was attached at the depot and held for the accounts. Mrs. Tyson No. 1, made many friends while here who regret to learn of the unfortunate affair.— ED.) A Good Man Gone- On Tuesday morning Mity *2B, at & o'clock Mr. Nathan Tart passed into that world from whence no trouble has ever re turned. Mr. Tart was born May 13, 1847, making his stay on earth fifty-four years and lo days. He was married about 30 years ago to Miss Polly Stewart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Stewart. There were born unto them 11 children, 9 boys and 2 girls, 10 of whom are left to mourn their loss. Mr. Tart was more than an average man. He was looked upon by those who knew him as one of the standards of the coun ty. Bv his death the county loses one of its best men. He was always ready and willing to assist the sick and needy. The wife loses a good and true hus band, the children a loving fath er. He was afflicted with- that dreadful disease, consumption. He received all the attention friends and physicians could give but none could relieve him. Me seemed willing and ready to die and often said his only fear was leaving his family and friends on earth. We would say to the youth of the community it would be well for them to try and follow the footsteps 'of Mr. Tart. He leaves a loving wife, 10 children, several brothers and sisters and a host of friends. He was laid to rest on Wednesday evening near his home, sur rounded by his family, relatives and friends. "Another one from us has gone, A voice we loved in still, But he is gone to that happy shore, His place on earth will never be filled." A. L. B. Benson, ?T. ('., June 4. 'Ol. School Books Adopted. Last Monday the State Text- Book Commission met and af ter two sessions adopted th* l school books for the sch ols in North Carolina for the next five years. The books adapted and the prices secured will save tin people of the State 37A per cent, on the dollar. This will amount to (juite a saving to the public and the n:ws w 'll be re ceived throughout tho State gladly. A Simple Question After AH. This is the time of tin 4 year when a great man" b:i*iness concerns, mercantile companies, manufacturing plant* and gen eral business men begin to take -toek, balance their books and figure on past, present and fu ture contingencies. When a dollar i~ invested now-a-days in anything the question is sure soon to be ask ed. Did it pay? Will it- pay to send another after it? If you want to keep your stock moving, your store crowded, your clerks busy, there is no incentive, no force so great as judicious advertis ing. Remember that judicious advertising does not come »lf your profits like rent, insurance and taxes. Advertising, well placed, is an active stinting agent, one that brings the peo ple with dollars in their hands to your shelves and counteis. Surely you can use a little of it. Advertising in TIM BAN NEK pavs others and there's no doubt but that it can be made to pay you. THE BANNER reaches a constantly growing circle of readers each succeed ing week nd they can be inter ested in your store news, as well as in any one else's. Are You With Us, Friend. Tell me not in mournful num bers That the town is full of gloom, For the man's a crank who slumbers In these days of boom. Life is real, life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal. Every dollar that thou turnest Helps to make the old town roll. But enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way ; If vouhaveno money, borrow Buy a corner lot each day. Lives of great men all remind us We can win immortal fame; Let us leave the chumps behind us, And we'll get there just the same. In this broad field of battle, Tn the bivouac of life, . Let us make the dry bones rat tle— And buy a corner lot forwife. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing. Buying early, buying late. i Just Planted Nutmeg. We hear it on a mayor near by Fayetteville that some days ago he had liis colored man (o prepare sonic soil and fertilize it well for cantaloupes.' lie then gave the negro a nickle and told him to buy some nut meg cantaloupe seed and plant in the prepared hills. The darkey proceeded to a store and made his purchase. He went back and planted his seed and reported to the Lord Mayor. "Well, you are done, are you, Isaac?" "No, boss, I isn't, dar wan't er null' seeds; dey planted jist six hill." "Why, what's the matter, there ought to have been more than enough?" "Well, boss, dey jist planted six hills." The mayor and the darkey proceeded to the prospective melon patch and made and in vestigation. Isaac scratched in a hill and handed up a seed to his boss —it was a nutmeg. The old negro had forgotten the word cantaloupe and had bought six nutmegs and planted them in six hills.—N. C. Bap tist. (The Mayor referred to in the above is our honored and es teemed friend, Mr. John A. Oates, of this place. He is a successful gardener and hotelist, but thinks this soil not adapted to the growth of nutmegs.) An urchin with a puzzled look Unto his father said, "Why is it, upon all the coin-; They stamp a woman's head?" The father thought a moment, then He gave him this reply : "My child, the}' say that money talks, I think that must be why." Dunn s Trees. Those who knew Dunn as she was 10 years ago, realize how immensely the city has improv ed in one of the chief essentials of a city's beamy, comfort and health. We allude to the great in crease in the numb' r of trees in Dunn and the prosperous growth of trees which were ban s;:p iings only a few y. as - ago. Many residence streets which wore practically treeless three years ago, are now beauteou in their rich and abundant foli age. Xo street c;i;i b. inviting or pie;;.-.. is! unle- - ii lias line trees anil an abundance of them, no matter how s-plen'did and costly it may be wiih the I structures whi.h adorn it. I It is lhe duty oi''-vi v person who owns a residence iot in 1 >llllll to plant tre-.-s in front of it and on it wlu r. vt r ii i- pos sible to do so, a selfish duty as well as a duty to the commu nity. Trees add greatly to tin value of a lot by increasing its beauty. A well shaded site, or OIK that give- a near view of hand some trees, will always ho pre ferred to one upon which the sun of summer pours its un broken glare and over which the winds of winter sweep un mercifully. Most of the trees which have in recent years add ed so immensely to the appear ance of Dunn's streets have been planted by private enter prise. It is to be hoped that citizens will continue this wise policy, but tne city authorities should bo liberal in the matter of plants ing and caring l'o- trees. Trees should be planted on all the residence streets and blocks which are now wiihout them or scantly supplied with them. Trees that are nest adapted to our soil and climate should be chosen. They should be planted scientifically, nur tured carefully and protected completely. Dunn should gain as much in beauty dur ing the next ten years as she has gained during the past ten in her business life. Attractive If/omen. All women sensibly desire to be attractive. Beauty is the stamp of health because it is the outward manifestation of inner purity. A healthy woman is always attractive, bright and happy. When every drop of blood in the veins is pure a beauteous flush is on the cheek. But when the blood is impure, moroseness, bad temper and a sallow complexion tells the tale of sickness, all too plainly. And women to-dav know there is no beauty without health. Wine of ('ardui crowns wom en with beauty and attractive ness by making strong and heal thy those organs which make her a woman. Try wine of (Jar dui , and in a month your friends will hardly know you. CAS^?OriIA.

And now comes an esteemed sect of Christians which, fearful lest, somebody's sensibilities shall be shocked, decrees ever the word "hell" shall be no lon ger used, but there shall be substituted therefor what is re garded the milder and less offen sive expression, "hades."
