Hatched by a Bird.
Newbcrne Journal.
R. B. Heath, of Cove, four
weeks ago, walking in newly
cleared laud near his homt,came
across a newly hatched chicken
without knowing at first how to
account for it. Investigating,
partridge nest was discovered
close by, with the shells of
nest mil 01 partridge eges anc
one hen egg. The hen had evi
dently laid in the partridges nest

ANSWERED.
A funny man who asked the
question: "Where is the State o
Matrimony?" received the fol
lowing answer: "It is one o
the United States; it is bound on
one side by hugging and kissing
and cradles and babies on the
other; its chief products are pop
illation .broom sticks and staying
out late at night; it was discov
ered by Adam and Eve while
trying to find a passing out of
the (iarden of Tiden; the climate
is rather warm until you pass the
topics of housekeeping, when
squally weather sets in with suf
ficient power to keep all hands
as cool as cucumbers. For the
principal road to that State con
sult the first pair of feminine
blue eves."
Effects of Drought.
Millions of bushels of fruit are
going to waste along the Ohio
river because of the close of nav
igation. Between Cincinuatti
and Evansville 150,000 barrels
of apples, in addition to potatoes
and other produce, will be lost
by decay. At the little port of
Amsterdam, Iud., 2,000 barrels
ol apples have been lying on the
wharf for two weeks awaiting
shipment. The river is lower
now than it has been since i860,
with one exception. The con
tinued drought in central Ken
tucky is interfering seriously
with the distilleries. Glen's
creek, which is the only source
of water supply for several dis
tilleries, has gone dry and
lurge number of men are out of
e m ploy men t
Avcr's Hair Vigor, which has out
lived and superseded huudreds of sim
ilar preparations, is undoubtedly the
most fashionable as well as economical
liair-dressiny iu the market. Bv its
use, the poorest head of hair soou be
comes luxuriant and beautiful.
As some people may have
a
wrong conception of what the
kdenton Pair is, we wish it to
be known that it is an institu
tion belonging to the people
not simply the people of Chowan
county, but of the entire Albe
inarle section. Whatever good
there is in it, or whatever good
comes from it, will be for them,
and not for its officers or man
agers, who are merely the peo
pie s agents in transacting the
business. Everybody is invited
to furnish every available article
that can serve to make the fair
attractive and interesting, and to
attend and see how near our ideal
of perfection has been reached.
To stay away from the fair &r
not to aid in making it big and
grand, hurts only the people and
their cause, for the greater the
success of the exhibition; the
greater the benefit to the people.
