The reeent death near ? Mount
Airy, N. CM of Mrs. Sallie Banker,
widow of Eng Banker, one ; of the
world-renowned Siamese twins, re
calls to mind mach of the domestic
history of these gentlemen and their
families, comparatively little of
which has ever found its' wsy into I
print, which now comes direct ' from
one who lived in the neighborhood
of their homes in tbe old State, and
who; was a personal friend of the
twins from his yoath ap.
Chang and Eng were born in 1811;,
in tbe lowlands of Slam, of humble
parentage, and at an early age lost
their father. As soon as they were
old enough to be of nse to their wid -
owed mother aba. put them to the
light work of tending a large flock of
docks, which they nsed to carry out
every morning in a boat to a 'neigh
boring marsh, where the wild rics
was plentiful; there they remained
all day and all night, at the blowing
of a horn, tbe ducks would waddle
back to the boat, crawl aboard, ; and
then the twins would paddle, them
home. When the. boys were pfoba.
biy 12 or 13 years of age an English
traveller named Banker happened
that way. and, after, viewing; them
tb- amazement, for a stipulated
consideration with their mother, ob
tained possession of them. ; ff
Leaving the East shortly fatter,
Mr. Bunker for setral years .exhib
ited the twins in every part Of the
known world, treating them? with
great', kindness and making money
by them wherever be wect, until in
1832 he bad amassed a fortune, and
tbe twins being by this time of .sge,
he considerately gave them i their
lrecdoni, with permission to adopt
his name, and with enough ready
cash to start them comfortably in life.
This happened in Baleigh, forth
Carolina, and the young men, though
they loved their protector well, Joved
freedom better ; so, with a friendly
parting on both sides, they started
out to' make tbe.r way alone and
yet together. While in Raleigh; they
beard soke talk regarding tbe excel
lent hunting to be found in the moun
tainous part of the State, and wishing
for a little recreation, they journeyed
to the Piedmont section, here: they
finally took np their residence at the
bouse of a well-to do farmtr named
Yates,living in the county of Wilkes,
sitaated at the foot of tbe liloe Ktcge
mountains, and- seventy-live miles
est of Greensboro. J :i
Farmer Ya'.es was fond of the
chase. Living in good, old-fashioned
style, , with plenty tjf, negroes and
dogs, raising supplies of allkindSi
and surrounded by a large family, he
look fe easy and made it pleasant
for tbe twins, who boarded with him
for a considerable time." While there
Ene Backer became greatly attached
to Miss Sallie Yates, and. Chang lost
his heart to Miss Aidelaide. bone
time betweev 1835 and 1840 a doable
marriage took place at the residence
of Father-in-law Yates, and the twins
commenced their married lue on a
farm which was in easy reach ot their
wives old homestead. Here-they
lived happily, farming; part of tbe
time and at iotervals going on the
road with Barnum an others, retorn-
ing home occasionally to their .fa mi
lies and fireside with weii-nnea poca
ets. , Bat tbe farm on which tney uv
ed did not enit the twins, so they
purchased about 2,000 acres in the
adioininz coanty of Surry, within
three miles of the then little
of MoanJt Airy, now the terminus of
the Cape t ear & Xadkin valley nan
road. : Oa this estate ttey erected a
laree. comfortable frame boase,: With
' . - ...... 4

cheerful, kindly disposition, their
lives "passed smoothly for many
vears.: while several children iwere
born to each wife.

which the mothers took parti! and

hoaid be built on the large estate

by. a competent surveyor; that no
transaction, of a business nature
should Uka place on these farms be
tween the two brother, that the fam
ily of Chang should live in onf house,
while that of; Eng should live in the
other. . And,! while the! wives occa
sionally visited each other, it is worth-
noting that ror many years the chil
dren did not interchange visits,
though they met at church or in the
village, it was also agreed that H.ng
should spend three date and tnree
nights witn his folks, and that Chang
(who, of coarse, could not help' being
present) should, daring that time, re
main passive and not in any way in-
terfere with the affaLs of Eng; then
Chang should spend three days aqd

and on that of his brother, as Cuang
had been. These provisions were
accepted and religiously observed by
the brothers mtil death,! they alter
nating every three days in their visits
to their family. Indeed, so particu
lar were they in not having business
transactions witn each other thut if,
for instance, Eng needed corn for
bis cattle, and Chang had it for sale,
Eng never once hinted I at baying
of his brother. And again, as some
time happened, if one brother receiv-
ed an invitation to dinner or tea the
other would, of coarse go, bat opon
leaving would remark to tbe host "I
will pay my visit to yoa at some fu
ture time." .! I I -
Allusion bis been made to tbe
cheerful disposition of 'the twins.
1 bey were nveiv ana very iona or a
joke, and several might be related did
space permit." i Two will sofflie. Ua
0ne occasion, while driving through
the neighborhood in a buggy, they
were thrown ont, reanlting in one
being badly braised, while tbe other
eecsped without a scratch. It then
became necessary for the injured
twin to remain In bed for a week, and,
of course, bis brother had to do like
wise, explaining to a friend who call
ed to see them that be stayed there
to look after his brother and keep off
the flies. 1 . !
The other joke occurred on a trip
they made from Greensboro to Ral
eigh. : Before starting Eng purchased
one ticket;. they tben boarded tbe
train, and after a while the conductor
came around for tickets. Eng band
ed bis np. but Chang.! with a merry
twinkle in bis eye, remarked : "I
have no ticket, and I have no money."
Then when the conductor threatened
to put him off Eng interposed and
told him that could not be done, as
he (Eng) had given ap bis ticket. At
this tbe passengers raised such a
laugh that the conductor concluded
to pass Chang, whose passage was,
however, soon after properly paid, fur
in all dealings they were strictly hon
orable. So far as can be learned,
their Uvea at their homes were irre
proachable; they were virtuous, tem
perate, scrupulously honest, sociable,
charitable, and, while never having
professed religion, they often attend
ed church; their manners and dress
were those of gentlemen, though their
education had been gained almost
entirely by travel. They were natu
ralized citizens, and regularly voted
the Democratic ticket.
When the war ended it found them
with fortv or fifty slaves, and, though
these of coarse were liberated, they
bad hidden supplies, of gold wbicb
carried them ' comfortably ; through.
This fact was well known,. and after
Stone man's raid through that sec
tion the twins were one day surpris
ed by a camp follower who forced him
self up into their presence and de
manded their gold. Upon an imme
diate refusal he threatened to sboot,
whereupon they both rose from the
chairs on which they were seated and
exclaimed, D yon,! sboot !'
and then hustled tbe fellow out.
During their travels the twins ac
cumulated much money, and in their
absence from; home their wives man
aged their property in an excellent
manner. Several children were born
to eacn wiie, iaou tnese an received a
first class education, and were brought
up as members of the church, princi
pally of the I Baptist denomination
AH the children, save one deaf and
dumb daughter, were healthy and
strong,! have married, and are coast
ed as some of the best citizens of
that section Of the State, and InUerlt-
ed about
$200,000

About tte 13th or 16th of January,
1886. the twins were over at Erg's
house and after a comfortable supper,
followed by their nsaal pipe, they re
tired in seaming good health. Early
the next morninz Enz woke ap, and,
i calling to his wife, asked her to as

not awaken him. Mrs. bailie Bank

To "Allen & Ginter was! aiktud

In 1886 he was employed IbyvALep
& Ginter as general manager of their
cigarettes on this market.; jtiej went
to them from D. II. McAlrJin i& Co.
He knew ali tbe big cigarette tnano
facturers very well. Tney Were cut.
ling each other's throats with cpmpa
tition and costly advertisick;. whicb
was in a fair way to cripple mbbt oi
them; so in 1887 he proposed U
Msjor Ginter to form a combin&tioa
or trust on tbe saxe pian asj that oi
the wall psper trust. Major GintJt
declined to listen to' a trust, but
tboogbt a combination of isojjielkisd
wouia do a good thing and save a
great dea. of money for all-tie man a
tactarers. dir. Allen saw eaph of tbe
manafactarers, but had the 1 greatest
difficuhy.in bringing them together
nearly ali tbe Leads of the Cigarette
firms were at personal odds! and
hated each other worse; than; poison
Francis S. Kinney believed! tuas on
one occasion Charles G. Eaatrr and
Goodwin & Co. bad given financial
aid to his striking etEprjoyjeeef, and
declined to have anything: loido; will
them. After some months' aork be
tween them he got them to the pdiat
of meeting, but then neither Mr.
Kintiey nor Mr. Emery would make
tne nrst advance, si h tiireai a room
at the Fifth Avenue Hot. 1, Where h
finally induced them to mjieti !aad
they buried the batchtt as far as oat
ward appearances went. ; 1 ,
lhen be struck another snag n
Mr. Ginter, who for a while (kclined
to go into a combination with Duk
Sons because be believed theicobccrn
was tottering and would s tod go an

old differences that in 1883
he got
the five manafaci t.re.B , tog est her a

Mr. Allen told about j that ?firsi
meeting. When tbe old eneibies met

Ms. Editob x Dear Sir t I tend
you a little 'item of news from oar
neighborhood, if yon will allow space
in your valuable for Its publication.
It might be of interest to some or
your many readers. Mr. John Branon.
of Hunteville. while fishing in Deerr
Creek, near the Yadkin river, on the I
morninz of May 30th, caught a large
cat fish weighing about five pounds,
and his wire when dressing the fish
found In itja large 2-bladed knite.
The knife wis about 4 inches long,
and would weigh some 4 or 5 ounces.
Iks mystery, is where . did the fish
get the knifed and. how long had it
been in possession of it. If any of
yoar readers can beat oar fish we
would like tai hear from them.

la reply to a great many letters of
enquiry received every Gay by the or
fleers of the Teachers' Assembly con
cerning the arrangisasnta which have
been made with the railroads la I re
gard to the Assembly certificates this
season, we give the desired Inform
tion to the public as follows : I
1. The railroad rate are the same
as heretofore; only about ona and a
quarter cents a mile. Tickets are oa
salt from Jane 18th to Jaly 8, good
to return until 15th. - ! 1
?. The annual fees for membership
are $2 for males and $1 for females.
These amounts are not to be sent to
the aeoretary as heretofore, bat at his
special request the railroads kavs ad
ded a membership coupon to the rail
road ticket, and all who attend the
Assembly pay tbe fee to the rail road
agent with the pries of the ticket.
3. When you reach Morehead City
the secretary will take np the coupon
and issue an official "certificate of
membership" without any chare.
1 bis certificate alone will secure for
the holders of rate of $1 per day for
ooard at tbe Atlantic hotel and free
admission to all the . exerciee of the
Assembly, special lectures and en
tertainments. To all female members
of the assembly wb3 have paid $2 .to
the rail road for certificate coupon tbe
secretary will return $1 when the
ticket is presented at Morehead City.
This new plan of tickets is an excel
lent one and eaves much trouble and
delay ; nothing to do now bat bay tbe
railroad ticket and go to the assembly.
4. Thisis-golhg to be the largest
and best session of the Teachers' As
sembly. Tbe programs is a most ex
cellent one' comprising some of the
most attractive features in the way
of instruction and entertainments
that can possibly be provided ia aa
educational gathering. The Atlantic
botel and tbe Assembly building are
thoroughly repaired and repainted
while there re many, pleaaa it im
provements for enjoyment on the
sound or in the surf. I
5. The teachers cordially invite
eveiy friend of education in North
Carolina to meet wish them in the
Assembly, to enjoy sll tbe privileges
and pleasure with the teachers and
upon precisely tbe saese terms.. The
programme has been prepared with a
special view to interest, benefit and
entertain both the teachers and the
public. : ' ;
6. The Assembly opens on June
21st and continues in session two
weeks. The celebrated crayon artist
and humorist, Fiank Beard, has been
engaged for June 22nd, 23rd, 24th,
and Rev. Thomas Dixon will lecture
n July 2nd and preach on Sunday,
Jaly 3rd. A number of other noted
speakers are on the programme for
other days daring the session. The
inter-colleglata oratorial contest and
the instrumental music contest for
gold medals will . be very enjoyable
ana spirited occasions and are exci
ting widespread interest.

questions sent him by a Canadian
Commission appointed to investigate
the practice of dehorning cattle to the

RaiSK I EVKBTTBINO AT HOMK,
Col. Jas. M. Smith, or Oglethorpe
county, Ga., gives this laconic advice
to hia lellow-farmers : "Raise every
thing at home for man and beast.
Col. Smith began after the civil war
oh a red bill farm near Athens, Ga
without a dollar capital. He is now
out of debt and runs a farm, of 1,500
acres, splendidly ; equipped, with
a broad gaage rail road ruanlnz all
over it and tha rest oh the same acala.
His smoke-bouses; are ' full of good
meat. Hia larder is almost wholly
supplied irom his farm. Last year
he .raised 5,000 bushels of rust-proof
oats and sold his crcp at the farm for
seed at $1 a bushel, less enough for
his own and tenant's use. He grew
6,000 bushels of wheat and sold tbe
surplus at $1.25 a bushel. He keeps
a herd or registered Hoisteins, is rat
tening sixty steers sslected for the
purpose, j milks, seventy -five cows.
