The Eastern Courier says:
The Republican Congressional
and Senatorial Conventions
met here Wednesday. The cols
ored man was conspicuous as to
his absence. 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.
Thus ended a Convention which
was in every way as good as a
Barnum show.
The Senatorial Convention
was a tame affair, there being
such a few in attendance.

THE SUMMER WAIST.
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.

A startling incident, of which

him as follows: "I was in a
most dreadful condition. My

sunken, tongue coated, pain

'Electric Bitters;' and to my
great joy and surprise, the first

ENGAGE YOUR FARM
PRODUCTS.
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. H. C. Parker.

WHY THEY MARRIED.
Reasons Given by a Number of
Benedicts in a New York Town
Exchange.
We lately sent out postal cards
to the married men of a small
town in Western New York
with the inquiry, "Why did you
marry?" We give a few respon
ses. We would be glad to hear
from other young men, and als
so the women:
That's what I've been trying
for eleven years to find out. Y.
Married to get even with her
mother, but never have. W.
Because I was too lazy to
work. I. V.
Because Sarah told me that
five other young men had
proposed to her. C.
The old man thought eight
years courting was almost long
enough. B.
I was lonesome and melan
choly, and wanted some one to
make me lively. N. B. She
makes me very lively. D.
I was tired of buying ice
cream and candies and goin to
theatres and church, and wan
ed a rest. Have saved some
money. J. U.
Because I did not have the
experience I have now.
Please don't stir me up. J.
Because I thought she was
was one among a thousand; now
sometimes think she is a thou
sand among one. E.
I think it was because I was
cross eyed; now I am afflicted
with two pairs of cross eyes
daily. PkTER.
The governor was going to
give me his foot, so I took his
daughter's hand. H.
I thought it would be cheap
er than breach of promise suit.
A. C.
That's the same fool questio;
that my friends and neighbor
ask me. C. H.
Because I had more lnonc1
;.han I knew what to do wit.
Now I have more to do than 3
have money to do with. B. D.
I wanted a companion of th
opposite sex. P. S. She i
still opposite. A
Don't mention it. F.
Had difficulty in unlocking
the door at night and wanted
somebody to let me in- Bob.
I was embariassed, and gave
my wife the benefit of my name
so that I could take the benefit
ot her name signed to a check.
SCROGGS.
Because it is just my luck.
J. P.
I didn't inteid to do it. S.
I yearned for company. We
