Paring the year ls7." John Powell
married MPss (Jorria Ann llailey,
daughter of Mr. Ashbury, Iiailey.who
lives near Wadesboro. Powell and
his wife lived together tor three or
four years, when suddenly, without
warning, the man disappeared. For
ten years after Powell's disappear
ance his wife remained true to him,
; but as nothing was heard from him
j during all that time she resumed
i her maiden name and married again,
i T 11 lsS'.t she married Jas. A. Dixon
j and has since lived happily with him,
: bearing him several children. Hut
i the peace and quietude of Dixon's
; home was rudely broken in upon last
week when Powell, the recreant
husband, suddenly appeared on the
' .seem1.
I Powell claims that he has been in
' Alabama ever since he first left An
son. Ill years ago. but, so far as we
have heard, he does not offer anv ex-
case for his peculiar actions. He i
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 infor-!
mat ion. He appears to lie very much j
disappointed and says that he came !
back after Ids w ife, as he wished to j
take her to Alabama with him.
Powell visited the office of the reg-
i

found duly recorded. During his i
visit to the office he requested Mr. j
Benlon in a very serious manner to
please tell him whose wife the woman

j wanted the matter settled. He said
I that Dixon was willing to give her
up, but that Mrs. Powell, or Dixon,
j as the case may be, had a very decid

i that time he had not been able to m-

county, was brought here last r nday
afternoon on the late train, by U. S.
Deputy Hyatt, and tried before
Commissioner James Pender for the
violation of the Postal Laws. Mr.
Morris dunned a debtor of his on a
postal card, and used some severe
language. Inspector Conard. of j
Asheville, was present during the
examination. Mr. Morris made no
defence, but submitted.
This violation on the part of Mr.
Morris was truly an unintentional
j one, and Mr. Pender tells us that the
j Federal Court will not be heavy on
I him. Mr. Morris was bound over to
j the Federal Court under a bond of
one hundred dollars.
Ktiriieil With Acid.
II. mierson (ioht Leaf.
Edwin, son of Dr. J. II. Tucker,
while in his father's office a few days
ago accidentally knocked a bottle of
acid off the book case and spilled the
contents on himself, a result of which
he was severely burned about the
face. The liquid came very near
getting into one of his eyes. He is
doing very well and it is hoped the
injuries sustained will not be such as
to leave any scars or traces of the
fiery fluid. The little fellow has suf
fered much but bears his afflictions
quite manfully.

AKP AT A PICNIC.
Hill Has Another Fish Story With an
Original Idea.
The equinox has come and gone
without any serious disturbance in
these parts,, though we did catch a
breath of cold weather for a day or
two. A little fire was cheerful and
comfortable and even i:01d Dad," as
they call Mr. Aunspaugh, put on his
coat. Old Dad is a character. He
loves work and is always at it. When
plastering is dull he plies the saw
and hammer. He runs the bake
oven and gives us hot rolls for break
fast, but is off somewhere nailing on
laths before we get up. Between
times he hauls wood and catches alli
gators. "When times are dull he
grubs the scrub out of the street ex
tensions. He is one of the aldermen
and if they can't hire street hands he
volunteers to do the work himself.
He washes dishes and sets the table
when his wife and daughter are hard
pressed. He is a universal is t not
in religion, but in everything else,
for lie can. do almost anything and
does it well. He puts up awnings,
transfers baggage, makes fires and
brings water for his guests and keeps
them in oranges and grape fruit and
gets the tacks out of the ladies'
shoe.s and mends their broken
trunks. It's Old Dad this and Old
Dad that all round the house, and
yet he is never out of temper. The
worst thing I ever heard him say
about a man w as. ':I don't like to see
a man. do that sort of a way." He
doesn't attach much importance to a
man's religion or his politics or
where he came from. "Is he a fair
and square man, and does he deal
justly?" is his criterion. I wish the
work! was full ot just such men us
Old Dad.
Last Saturday there was a railroad
picnic here in the grove, lampa
men came over to stir up our people
and get their help to build a line
from here to Tampa, and I believe
they will build it. It ought to be
built. It is a great necessity and
miles apart and
yet we have to go
120 miles round In Lueoochee or
cross the bay from Petersburg.
Tampa needs this retreat for her
business men and Clear "Water needs
a short, quick line to Tampa. This
will be the Saratoga, the I,ong
Branch, the Newport for middle
Florida. The people will come here
for health and pleasure and I predict
that in five years the west coast will
be adorned with beautiful homes
from Tarpon Springs to Mullet keys.
The keys are only ten miles below
here and there is the deepest water
on tl
white
ago.
coast. There is whore the
squadron anchored t wo years j
My wife and I and the girls rode !
down the coast a few miles to the j
rocks or narrows where the islands j
jut in on the land with only a narrow j
pass between. It is a lovely spot
and the lish seem to congregate
there in vast numbers. I've looked
and gazed at them jumping out of
the water and there was not a mo
ment that a kodak could not have
caught one or more on the flv.
Stately palmettoes adorn the banks
and the island, too, and rough fisher
men stretch their nets from shore to
shore. Lemons and limes and fig
trees and guavas grow wild in thick
ets and oleanders tower high among
them capped with white and red and
pink flowers in gay profusion. I
never saw such a scene nor one so
wild and neglected, for while nature
has done everything for the place,
i man has done nothing. It is too far
from a railroad they sa'. The rail
road leaves the coast at Clear Water
and does not near it again until it
reaches St. Petersburg.
The projectors made a great mis
eake in not hugging the gulf all the
way down. But it seemed to me
that if I wanted retirement from the
busy haunts of life, or if I was a dis
appointed man and shunned society,
or if I was under the ban for some
bad thing I had done, I would rather
hide myself down there by the rocks
than any place in the wide, wide
world. We did find a venerable man
there living alone in a house set upon
posts. He was kind and friendly
and seemed grateful that we visited
him. He said he was a resident of
Washington, D. C, but he did not
resemble Washington in dress nor
feature. He was well educated and
well posted on affairs and said he
came there to be cured of asthma.
Evidently he was ver' poor and no
! doubt has an unwritten history that
Wouhl make a romance. His hair
' and beard were long and unkept and
reminded us of Rip Van Winkle as
i Joe Jefferson made him, but withal
' .
; he was a gentleman in manners and
conversation. He gave us some of
his poetrj' as we left and we found it
well worth perusing. Dr. Corrigan,
who is a brother of the archbishop,
lives a mile this side and has adorned
his place very prettily. The arch
i bishop spends a part of his winters
; .
!liere-
I It is a peculiar feature of this gulf
: coast that there are so many isolated
houses and isolated people to be
found hid out as it were from the
rest of the world people who have
no nabors and do not mix with
anybody. Some of them are rich
and some of them are poor. They
are from every State and Canada
and England and Sweden and other
countries. Some of them were
counts at home, but no account here.
It is another peculiar feature that
the common people who bring us in
vegetables and fruits and chickens
and eggs don't live anywhere hardly.
Up in Georgia you can see a farmer's
house for half a mile before you get
to it or certainly for a few hundred
yards and you can see fields and
cattle and hogs and hear the dogs
bark when you get in the naborhood.
The poet says:
"I knew by the smoke that so gracefully
curled
Above the dark elms that a cottage was
near.'"
But there are no elms anu no
smoke in this region. Several times
I have passed quite near to some of
these country homes, but the scrub
and the chapparal concealed them.
Yesterday I was invited by a friend
to ride with him to old man Saxe's
strawberry farm two miles out and
I found it quite near where I had
been several times. The old man
was bending his long back over the
vines and never stopped picking
while he talked to us. He came
here twelve years ago from up in the
cold and dreary North came for his
health, for he was a sufferer from
rheumatism and, of course, was
cured. Everybody is cured who
comes here. My wife has had a bad
cough all winter, but it has left her
and she is astonished. She never
mentions going home. Old man
Saxe has three acres in strawberries
and ships them North. He raises
chickens and sells eggs. He told me
that he had sold berries as high as
$20 a crate, but as the season passed
they came down to $3 a crate. The
old man raises vegetables of all
kinds and seems to be prospering
and contented.
Vegetables are in full blast here
now and our bill of fare embraces
cabbage, turnips, eggplant, new
potatoes, peas, beans, cucumbers
with oranges and strawberries for
dessert. My wife declares that she
is having a glorious rest. No cook
to look after no house to clean, no
beds to make up, no coal to smoke
up everything, no water pipes to
burst no rain, no mud no care.
Well, let her rest. She has worked
enough. Bill Arp.
A Church Member on Fire.
Charlotte Observer.
It doesn't pay to carry pieces of
broken matches which feel like
cloves, to church, in one's jKK-ket,
thinks a member of Tryon Street
Methodist church. Sunday said
member felt in his pocket and brought
out what he believed was a clove.
Not wishing to attract attention to
it by looking at it, he slipped it qui-
etly in his mouth and closed his teeth
down on it. Instantly there was a
report as if some one had stepped on
a match. There was a '"sputtera
tion" in that neighborhood. He spit
the match out as quickly as possible
but not before a number had seen it
come blazing from his mouth. They
feared spontaneous combustion was
the trouble, and expected to see him,
like Jacob Faithful's mother, vanish
into smoke, but barring a burned
mouth he remained intact, but will
be careful hereafter not to cam
either cloves or matches to church.
Dissatisfied With Oklahoma.
I'iltboro Itecord.
About the first of last January a
colored man of this place, named
Webb McClenahan, went with his
wife to Oklahoma Territory to seek
his fortune, having heard flattering
accounts of that section. He' is an
industrious man and had saved up
about $100 to take with him, and
now all of that is spent anu tie is
without employment. He has writ
ten here begging his friends to send
him money enough to bring him
home, as he cannot get any work to
do and is almost destitute. His hard
case should be a warning to all others
w ho may be disposed to seek their
fortunes in distant places about
which they know nothing.
Narrow Escape From Death.
Asheville Citium.
Last Friday, Edward, the 10-year-old
son of Alderman N. Plamondon,
of West Asheville, had a narrow es
cape from being gored to death by
an angry j'earling. The boy had
gone to drive the j-earling off the
place. As he approached the animal
it showed fight and rushed for him,
catching him on its horns and toss
ing him several times. Mr. Plamon
don ran to his son's assistance and
found that he had, as luck would
have it, been caught between the an
imal's horns, thus saving him from
being run through. As it was he
received a prod in the thigh, but the
wound will not prove serious.
"Pills, pills, pills!
There s nothing like pills
When you i-re bilious
To cure your ills!"
The poet is right: and he might have
truthfully added, that of all pills Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the safest
and best. They are sugar-coated, small
ami easy to take, and produce no grii
ing or 'nausea, but do their appointed
work quietly, pleasantly and thorough

Finance and Trade.
Special Correspondence.
New York, April 2, 1804.
The veto of the seigniorage bill has
been the important business event of
the last week. There had been little
expectation in financial circles that
the outcome of President Cleveland's
consideration of this measure would
be other than it has been; but so long
as the matter remained in doubt
there was natural distrust and hesi-tanc-.
The action of the President
has given renewed confidence to the
business community that so long as
he shall remain in office no retro
grade legislation can be accomplish
ed. It has cleared the way for the
unembarrassed progress of the busi
ness recovery which has been slowly
under way since the repeal of the
Silver Purchase law last November.
The sudden return of wintry weather
has given a temporary check to busi
ness revival in some lines; but the
tendency of commercial affairs gen
erally has continued in the direction
of improvement.
The exports of merchandise continue
large, and there has been no renewal
of gold shipments. The value of
merchandise shipments from New
York so far during' March has been
31 ,302,338, as against $23,590,324
last j ear; but imports in three weeks
have been $11,103,335 smaller than
they were during the corresponding
period in 1803. Sugar imports have
been unusually large, and customs
receipts have fallen off. Industrial
improvement has continued, and
most departments there has be-en an
increase in orders. Failures in the
United States and Canada during
the week numbered 208, as against
194 during the corresponding period
last year. According to R. G. Dun
& Co., the returns thus far of liabili
ties involved in March failures indi
cate a smaller aggregate than in
February.
Cotton prices have advanced J of a
cent per pound as a result of more
favorable Liverpool advices, decreas
ing' interior stocks and a lighter
movement from the plantations. Ex
ports have continued of good volume
for the season; but domestic spin
ners have not increased their pur
chases to any extent. Since Septem
ber 1 the takings of Northern mills
have been 272, SCO bales less than
during the corresponding period last
j ear; but Southern consumption has
apparently increased about 9,0o0
bales. In the cotton goods trade
prices of print cloths have advanced
1-10 of a cent, and there has been a
fair business in brown goods. Other
staple fabrics as a rule have been
onlv moderately dealt in. but there
have been few changes in values.
The distribution of seasonable dry
goods has been retarded a little by
the sharp fall in temperature; but
the outlook for near future business
is more encouraging.
Freezing weather, after a period
of high temperature which had en
couraged the development of the
wheat plant, has occasioned some
damage to fall-sown grain in some
sections of the West. Reiwrts as to
the extent of the injury to the crop
have been conflicting, and in many
cases nave ooen exaggerated tor
speculative effec t. The crop in most
sections was in excellent condition
before the severe change in the
weather set in; and in southerly lo
calities, where the plant had reached
a susceptible stage of growth, there
has doubtless been considerable dam
age. 1 he Cincinnati 1'rice current
says that the area of injury repre
sents about ten per cent, of the au
tumn sowing; and if this ten per
cent, have been half destroyed the
loss will be equal to five per cent, of
the winter wheat crop. But the ex
tent of actual damage is still. largely
a matter of conjecture. Compared
with figures current a week ago the
markets are 3 to 3 cents per bushel
higher; but comparatively little new
business has been done.
The Western corn movement has
been larger than it was a vear ago,
but smaller than in previous weeks;
and a gixnl export trade, coupled
with the effect of reduced visible
stocks and the rise in the wheat
markets, has strengthened prices.
The latter show a net advance of J a
cent in Chicago and 11 cents in New
York, where stor ks are small and
concentrated in a few hands. Spec
ulation in hog products has been
more active, and Chicago prices have
advanced 77 cents per barrel on pork,
25 cents per 100 pounds on short rib
sides and 40 cents per 100 pounds
on lard. Exports continue large,
the clearances for several weeks
having been about double what they
were during the corresponding peri
od last year.
