Stock owners in the eastern sec tion of this state are alarmed by the appearance of Splenetic Fever among cattle in Wake county. The great est care is being taken to prevent the Bpread of the disease. A movement has been on whereby the American TobaccoJCompany had hoped to get control of all the ware houses in this State, but thus far the movement has failed. The ware house men are not in favor of trusts, now and it is hoped they never will be. A peculiar question of ethics has recently arisen betweeu a dry goods store proprietor of Kacine, Wis., and One of his salesmen. The salesman took in a dollar of 1801 in payment for goods, he sold the rare coin for $1,000 and now the proprietor claims that the monev is his. A Virginia railroad wa3 made to pay $15 for. killing a rooster. The engineer said, ho spoke very kindly to the gentleman with the whistle, but when he dropped one wing in the ground, raised one eye heaven ward, and commenced whetting his spurs on the rail, forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and he lit into him with thirteen freight cars and for warded him to the happy scratching ground by the lightning express. Mess. J. R. Brooks and W. D. Cooper, of Wilson, who were charged with arson last week, but who were fully exonorated, requests us to re turn their sincere thanks to the citi zens of this town for the prompt and Unsolicited aid giyen them. They say they owe the people of Plymouth a debt of gratitude which they can never pay. It is reward enough for our people to know that these young men have been exhonerated, and by their acts show to the State that they are worthy of the confidence of their home people . The Trustees of the A. & M. College could not have made a bet ter selection for its President than when they elected Dr. Geo. T. Win ston. Dr. Winston made a record as President of the University of this State, and that record he ably sus tained as President of the Univer sity of Texas, and that the progress which marked his reign as President of these institutions of learning will also attend the A. & M. College we feel confident. The college is not all that is to be congratulated, for his whole State is to be benefitted by his return.

Up to the hour of going to press no trust has been organized to control cyclones. Now is the time to treat your sweetheart with coolness at ten cents a saucer. Orange girls are always robbing the males of their hearts but we'll never stamp them as thieves. We have a tender feeling for every friend, a frown for every foe 'tis not the way the churches teach, but 'tis our human style you know. The devil always giggles when he sees a hypocrite upon his knees, and when dea cons to the front soat make, he laughs un til his sid es do shake. PLEASING OTHERS. The best rule is to take people as yoa find them and make the most of your op portunity to please them in some sort of fashion. There are so many ways to ac complish this by attentions, thoughtful suggestions, pious undertakings, all of which being saturated with the milk of tumaa kindness Cannot fail of bringing a result which will b satisfartory. When we learn to live to pleaso others we shall reap the largest harvest of pleasure for our. selves, by imitating our Lord and Master, who went about doing good to the souls and bodies of men.
