The Odd Follows of North Car olina will lie interested to know that at their coining meeting in Durham on the lUth of 11 ay the reports of the ofh'pers yl show litrg'e increase in membership, nd that the order has made derapld strides all along the line, says the naleigb limes. It is a fact that the past year was, in every sense, tne greatest in the history or the order, and the reports of Grand Master Mc Brayer, of Asheville, and Grand Secretary VYuodell, of Raleigh, wjll 6liow marked changes for the txitterment of the Odd Fellows of Jorth Carolina. Grand pecretnry V cofiell re port ehpws that up t Decern: jer there were 137 lodges in North Carolina, and that in 9(J3 sixteen new lodges were instituted, the charters of three renewed, ona consolidated, and seven charters surrendered, leaying the number how 148, showing a galnof eleen lodges. The nieiribership unto December 31, 1902, was 8, 128, and at the end of 1903 this had grown to 9,490, again of 1.3fi2. For re lief in subordinate lodges, the amount paid out in 1903 was $,. 8771.89, while the receipts in he Subordinate lodges amounted tp $0(5,290.04, T be disbursements for relief ampuntedto $48,075.90, and this-added to the f 10, 877.89 paid out by subordinate lodges, amounts to a total of 04,9537.9. The assets of the subordinate lodges less all encumbrances, amounts to $130,851.90, and this shows a net gain over last year of 18,9681.1. ter hands as poultry breeders on both large and small scale. For years the poultry fanciers have spared neither time, trouble or expense in developing certain points in fowls, and the purchaser today has only to make up his mind what be will make a special ty and without difficulty can make satisfactory selection of stock. It is a mistake in any branch of stock raising to be satisfied with poor stock and as a consequence half way success, and poultry bus iness is no exception ; a hen that will produce from 100 to 180 eggs a year is more prothnble than one that will lay only half of that nuuj ber; and chicks that are ready for the table in ten weeks are a better pacing investment than those that take four to eight weeks longer to reach the-propcr weight, aim it is possible at a comparative small outlay to stock one's uens with profitable fowls. It is safe to prophesy that in the near future not only the owners of large plantations but those who possfsa sufficient grounds for limited number of fowls, will have first class poultry a feature not for market alone but for home consumption. April is tho banner month for setting hens, which accounts for the shortage in eggs just now; the wido awake poultry fanner knows well the value of early bfttched pujlets, anq with fn eye to profit, endeavors to stock his pens nt tbe eqrli!Bt possible moment. Later we ftill consider the difference in the number of eggs laidd by old bens, early hatched pullets and late hatched pullets. AILSIE CRAIG. Board man, N. C.

Both of the white men got in the boat right, but when the negro attempted to jump In the small boat she over turned and all three were thrown into tbe water. The nergo could hot swim and he immediately grabbed young Whitley, and they both went down and were drown ed. Ricks clung to the boat and was i rencued.
