Kinstoo, N. U.—The best atory

near the Big Grove swamp la
Duplin county. A supposedly in

edge of thoawamp, and eaueeda
peak among worshipers just at
On dona of a service a few
nights ago.
The blaek pastor and a portion
of Jus flock were returning home
by way of a kan leading from tha
church groandi when one of the
deeeoas wee eceoeted by e demo
eiseel being that towered, he
afterwards evened, many feet
high, and leaped upon him The
sheer weight of the agent of La
etfer, the deacon protested when
hk atory was doubted, bore him to
the ground, bat be that aa It may
have been, when others of the
brethren turned a bead la the
read they found him oa Ida
knees la supplication, and aa un
earthly eraatura with a fiaoe of
lira apparently about to devour
him.
The others paused only long
enough to satisfy themselves
that the deacon was about to pay
for some iniquity ia measure of
blood, and that so intervention
oa their part if they had been so
inclined, would avail for hk de
Ivery from the auporhumaa

which wo also copy—not because
we believe tt. but to illustrate
that there is aotblag new under

Ta Laurinbcrg there ie this

never been buried. This man
waa a foreigner, it ia aaML and j
wee traveling with e dress end
was killed at Laurinborg by a
comrade. Hie body waa taken
tn charge by an undertaker end
embalmed. The nan's father
cam* from a northern city and
lacked just a few dollars of hav
ing enough money to nay the bill.
00 the undertaker refused to let
tin father have the body of the
eon. after which the father re
fused to let the undertaker bury
the eon, and he etfll ban the body
in bis building, it having muni
fied.’
That's nothing. We know a
whole lot of embalmed Tight
Wade- embalmed by nature—
dead, deed aa door nails, as Dick
ens would say—deed ee e Yar
mouth bloater—and they walk
around and grant and moan and
wonder what this or that coet
aad they are in all towns.
Just becanas one man ia still

his funeral expanses and Is mum

has bar colony of munified one*
the Ttobt Wads who have been
deed for yean and refuse to be
buried beceuee it eosts some
thing. And unlike the silent
companion in Laurinborg. these
momiAedTight Wade walk around
throwing rod pappar into live
men’s eyes.”
Col. Hairbrother apparently
can't get the consent of his mind
that toe above news story is a
true statement, but in the mala
it ie true, -and especially ie the
eonuneat about the embalmed
Tight Wade eo aptly applied, a
