The only consola- tion left tbo merchant is a new dog chain and collar he had purchased for his pet. The two couvicts, who escaped from the State farm last winter during the big snow, have been lingering in thooeighbor- borbood ever since. They were harbored by a colored woman at or near Mr. II. W.

Keep your guide book and pencil in your hand. Don't fail to go in the electrical build ing at night. Take a cup of Persian coffee in the Persian theatre. Don't pay over 50 cents a day for a room. Nice ones can be had for that, To see the illuminations at night get a seat (an early hour) at the upper edge of tbe lake. The best restaurants the roof restau rants on top of the agricultural and wo men's building. Don't try to keep your "crowd" to gether. You lose time and money. "Two is company" in this iostanco. Take one dress or suit only. You don't need more. It isn't good "form to wear good clothes at the fair. The moveable sidewalk furnishes more fun for tbe money (5 cents and ride as Ion" you please) than anything on the grounds. Buy a "Columbian," the newspaper printed in the grounds, as soon as you get in. It tells you the event of the day, what to see and where. Supply yourself with pennies. You will need them for drinks, i. e. the Waukesha mineral water sold on the grounds by a penny in the slot arrange merit. Play ball. The crops are good. Clean your back lots. Fall will soon be upon us. August more than half gone. A painful end is the end of a bee. Baseball is tbe rage here again. Greenbacks aro scarce for change. A decided fall feeling in the weather. The scuppernongwill soon bo with us, The first fall month will soon be here, The worst feature of a vacation is the end. New Dress. Tbe Scotland Neck Democrat came to us last week in a new dress which greatly improved its appearance. We are glad to note this enterprise on the part of Bro. Milliard and wish him continued success. Death op a Well Known Minis ter. Rev. Charles M. Cook died at his home in Edgecombe county last Saturday, after having been paralyzed for a number of years. The deceased was for many years a member of the North Carolina Confer ence, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and in this county he was well known and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. In 1877 Mr. Cook conducted the greatest revival ever known in this section, tbe iuQueuce of which will live forever. Many of the best workers in the churches here were converted at that meeting. He was a great sufferer the last few years of his life, but when the Lord bhall come to make up his jewels, we trust that he may have many heals to bis ministry ami souls for his hire. His memory will ever be cherished by the people of Weldon. lie was the father of Hon. Charles A. Cook, of Warrenton, and our sympathies are with the bereaved family. A Convict Escapes. On Friday, a negro convict on the Northampton side of the river made a dash for liberty, and ft is thought, the attempt resulted in death from drowning. After success fully eluding the guards for about two miles down the river, be plunged in, and no trace of him has yet been seen.

"Well, can they explain it all?" "No no my dear son, they talk en tirely too much and read and digest en tirely too little.

It is funny to see how ignorant some people are on this important subject. Now, your fath er could soon explain it, if the infernal fools would only shut up?" The Favorites Lost. Wcldon's first nine crossed bats with a second nine at Baseball Park last Thursday, "just for praeiice," but before the game ended cv cry one realized that Woldon's favorites were badly beaten by the tail onders, and that henceforth they deserve a better name, and shall hereafter be known as Ralciah Daniel's Colts. The F. N.'s were Cist to the bat and scored a run The Colts then took the ash aod succeed ed in pounding three runs out of the sphere. In the second and third the favorites failed to score and were shut out iu one, two and three order. When Senator Ransom was in town Satur day. Miss Ammic Powers is visiting friends in Goldsboro.

The board of town commissioners at their August meeting decided to collect no purchase tax from the merchants of the town this year, and they also reduced the property tax from 33 to 25 cents on the $100, valuation.

There were several pretty plays on each side and some heavy bit ting was done by Daniel, Garrett and others.
