It was who and who could say the most and use the most unpleasant words. There were two factions. One by Isaac Meekins and the other by the south side of the Albe marie. The racket was over the Chairman, Secretary, aud dele gates to the National Convene tion. The south side were the victors every time, setting down hard on Bro. Ikey. Dr. J. W. Perkins of Pitt, was elected Chairman and Mr. Joseph Biggs of Martin, was elected Secreta ry. The delegates to the Nation al Convention were Wheeler Martin, of Martin county, and Dr. D. H. Abbott, of Pamlico, alternates, J. L. Phelps and W. R. White. Prof. R. M. Lee, coU ored, went forward and com menced speaking, but was in terrupted by his pale brethren and finally he was shut out.

Now doth the festive summer waist appear upon the scene, in every shade from white to red, and hundreds in between; it daz-i zleth every man s eye, and stetcheth every neck, and mak eth am'ious fellows haste to follow at her beck as down the street fair Doris lightly trips, a vision rare from ankle neat to dainty finger-tips; and there are hosts of others all most glee fully parade, with some in stripes and some in plaids and some in checks arrayed. And some are silken, some are wool, some lin en, some pique, and e'en the flannel and nearsilk are seen in the array; and some do blaze like coals of fire while some are verdant quite, and every shade of yellow, brown, blue, red, green, is in sight; and thus, when warning zephyrs kiss the earlysleafling tree, the streets become kaleidoscopes of femi ninity; and marvel of marvels! Each bright damsel feels that she doth wear by far the swellest waist of all that company! All maidens love the summer waist, the waist of giddy hue, and lad dies love to love the maids, who love this loving too! So here's a toast, a merry toast, to mai dens sweet, encased within the gay, alluring, neat and giddy summer waist! Ex. WUapiVuita Greatest Spring Medicine. Commencement Exercises.

The farmer in order to dis pose of many of his products to advantage will find it a goo plan to engage them previous to ta king them to market. For in stance, if he has cucumber pick les to sell, if he takes them to the stores they will in all prob ability have barrels put up by manufacterers, and they retail them out at 25 cents a gallon. A foimer cannot take this for pickles put up in pure cider vin egar, and nicely spiced when many families will take these pure articles and pay well for them. Many times have we seen f rmers go to town with large loads of pumkins and squashes land the pittance they received for them wouldn't pay for the wear on the team. In this local ity many a farmer can take his choice between a sum far less than a load of wood is worth, or haul bis wood back home, when the farmer "who is watching the corners" will engage his wood during the sammer months and haul it in the fall when the roads are good.
