When the twenty-seven volumes of The Rohesonian fell a victim to the fire fiend on the night of the 9th Int., we felt for & tirao that they could never be restored. But when, a few days later, Mr. Geo. A. Barnes brought us the pa . . pers ior six years, more or less com plete, aud when many others were sent in, wo began to take fresh courage and hope that we might yet be able to re place them. And then, as the lawyers Bay, we have a prccodent in this deter ruination. No complete file of The Robesonian was kept during the time that our urotner was in charge, and it was not till a your or two later that we attempt ed to procure them, so that at least five years had elupsed before wo made the effort, and we had the eatis faction of securing the complete vol umes. Of course there is a vast dif ference between five years and twenty seven years, but we believe thev are to bo had. To show, however, how difli cult a task it really is wo need ouly state that in all the papers that have been bronght iuto tha office, we have been unable to supply one missing number for 1895. As soon as we can do so we will give the dates that still are missing in volumes that are in a mens uro complete, aud, in the mean time, wo beg our friends cveryvhero to see how many they can find. Of course all pri .r to 18il are to bo supplied al most in full. SOME PRIVATE LETTERS. Jsext to tho twenty -seven bound volumes of The Eobesonian, if iu derditis second in importance, that perished in the flames is our private correspondence. We had autograph letters from ex-Governor Northern, of Georgia, and ex-Governor Holt, (now dead) of this State; one from Dr. Kingsbury, of Wilmington, and one from Mr. A. Johnson, then editor of tho Laurinburg Exchange, now su perintendent of tho Ihomasville Or phanage and editor of Charity and Children and many others that we were hopeful would survivo us. But what we intended to do in this connection was to speak of the scores of letters that we have received since the fire and to print extracts from a few of them. The following letter from Mr. E. J. Humphrey, of the Saddletree section of this county, and abrjther of our townsman, Mr. D. J. Humphrey, aud now a prominent law yer of Van Alstyne, Texas. We wish to thank Mr. Humphrey for the letter ftud?Li8a to ""J that we sincerely tried to do tile things he so generously ascribes to us: Mr. 11'. jr. McDiarmid, Lumberton, Dear Sin: I am very sor ry ludeed to hear of your misfortune, for I know of my own knowlege that yont'energy, money, prayers, audeveu your own life have been devoted to the upbuilding and development both mor ally and financially of Lumberton and Eobesou county through the columns of the Kobsonian, aud tho loss is not confined to yourself, bnt every citizen of your county has suffered a loss by reason of the loss ot the history con tained in the files of the Eobesonian It is too often true that we do not know how to appreciate anything un til w have lost it. I hope you will soon be located and be in a position to serve your patrons as before. I asked you to discontinue my paper, not be cause it was not a welcome visitor, but because of the stringency in finances at present. I would not have made the request had I known of your mis fortune, and you may send me your paper for the year 1897. Wishing for you continued success, I am most truly, ' E. J. HcMPHKET.

By the way, when wo completed the first Beven volumes in 187C, we obtained most of tho papers from an uncle in Mississippi: Meadow, Ala., Jan. 22, 1897.

All hu inau plants and enterprises are liable to such fate, and upon the impul8e 0f the moment we feel that it is ruinous to us ,n almost every particular; but npon more mature reflection, if we are true Christian people, we are entitled to the comfort which grows out of the divine assertion that "all things work together for good to them ttfat W , God, to the called according to Hi TtCht I80'1 IS yUr editor"!

CARNATIONS IX THE SITTING TiOCffl, If proper care is taken of plants, there is no reason why one should not have fair -eucce33 with this flower iu me siiung-room window, if the car nation is neglected, the red spider is pretty sure to injure it, therefore guard against attacss from this most destructive pest by frequent syring ings of the entire plant with a eolation of fir-tree oil soap and a daily shower ing or dip in clear water. Give a rather heavy soil loam i3 preferable to leaf mold and not too much water. The fir-tree oil wilt not ouly keep the red spider in check, but i3 sure death to the aphis which often attacks this plant. Of course you cannot grow as tine carnations in the living room a3 you could in the greenhouse, but you can, with care, have fine lioners irom healthy plants. Keep the temperature below seventy degrees-, if possible; sixty-tive degrees would be better. A room opening oS the living room is a good place in which to keep them. New England Homestead. THE PEOPEIl WAX TO FBY FOOD. Have a wire frying basket that will fit nicely in a flat-bottomed iron kettle writes Mary B. Keech. Fill the kittle three-fourths full of lard and set on back of the stove so that it may bo come gradually heated. If you must set the kettle directly over the coals so it will heat quickly, watch it close ly or it may boil over and take fire. When the fat smokes in the center or if a piece of bread dropped into it will instantly burn, it 'is just the right temperature to sear the outside of the food, thus preventing the grease from penetrating, and rendering the food light and digestible. First, dip the frying basket in the hot fat, be. ore putting tb.9 articles to be fried into it. In frying chops, doughnuts, potato chips and all food that requires long cooking, after a few minutes, draw the ketti9 back on the stove, where it will not boil so rapidly. Doughnuts, croquettes, etc., should not touch each other. The fat should be kept smoking hot, and enough to completely cover the arti cles cooked in it. Croquettes should be rolled in egg and fine bread or cracker crumbs. Leave them in the fat just long enough to make them a very nale brown. As they are made of articles that have already been cooked, it is only neces sary to heat them through nijely. xuo lat should be clanked after each using. While it is hot. An,n in a thick slice of raw potato and leave until cooked. If there are any sedi ments in the bottom of the "fat it. should be strained. When cold, set away in the frying kettle. EECIPES.

ANDREWS, Leading Dealer in Furniture, Pianos and Organs, 16 and 18 W. Trade Street. Charlotte, N. C. T A TVTTT A T5V lUUJ The year of 1896 is gone forever. Its troubles, its cares, its perplexities, its failures, with its pleasures and successes, are now things of the past. The unknown future is before us. It is only through the expeiiences and lights of the past that we can see or judge the future. For the favors and very liberal patronage extended to us during the past year we feel truly grateful and by low prices and fair dealings we shall endeavor to, merit a contnuance. Our motto remains the same sell for cash ONL1 and at prices where credit competition cannot ap proach. W e cau save you money by trading with us, and these times, when an American dollar is expected to do almost dou ble duty no better place to spend it can be found. In startiug out in 1897 we have a few suggestions to make to our good farmers, and, while our judgment is not infallible, we cannot but think our ideas (if heeded) will lead you right 1. 2.

The cheapest guano you can buy is the best grade you can get. This we claim for our celebrated 6.
