We were eitthig on the tavern ve
randa after supper for a smoke,
when nn old darkey with a crooked
leg came along and took off his hut,
and said :
"GeuiTeu, I should like to ask yo'
a few questions, please."
Being told to go ahead, he came
up the step, Lowed and scraped, and
observed :
"I lost my old woman docrin the
wah, an she was buried on de gravel
ridge ober yere 'bout two miles. I
dun went an dug up do boJy last
week to put it ia a new place, an it
was all paralyzed to stun.''

"Yea."
"She was ly in' dar on t lie grass
when a feller diive up in a wagon
an' offered me $5 for de body. 1 )o

Mr. William Cates, of this place,

marriage, fourteen years ago, has
killed several for beef, and now has
a drove of a dozen on his plantation.
Yet he tevtr bought a cow during
this time. "When he wa3 first mar
ried his wife's mother, Mrs. Mack
enzie, gave him a milk cow, from
which he raised all tha stock men
tioned above. He still has the
tame old cow and i3 now milking
her at his home, on Peace street. As
her calf ia young, she gives three
gallons of milk daily. Wanesboro,

A Georgia exchange 13 responsi
ble for the following: "Some years
ago Judge Sirmons was presented
with a pet snake. One day it swal
lowed an eight day clock, which
could be hiard to tick and strike
until it run down. Shortly after
wards the snake laid one hundred
eggs. On opening them he found
each to contain an open-faoed watch
in good running order. lie then
fed it on large augers and obtained
enough cork Ecrews to supply the
Baptist convention, which soon

I)aidson county was at one tiir.e
the home of Daniel Iloone, the gn at
North Carolina pioneer. Ten
miles from Lexington is a cave once
occupied by Boone and near this his
primitive cabin stood, though the
latter is now almost entirely oblit
erated. But the hearthstone is yet
preserved. An effort will be made
to have this exhibited at the

This ia beyond question the most
successful Cough Medicine we have
ever sold, a few doses invariably
cure the worst cases of Coughs,Croup
and Bronchitis, while its wonderful
success in the cure of Consumption
is without a parallel in the his'ory
of medicine. Since its first discovery
it has been sold on a guarantee, a
teat which no other medicine can
stand. If you have a cough we
earnestly ask you to try it. Price
10c, 50c. and $1. If your lungs are
sore, cheet, or back lame, use Shiloh's
Porous Plaster. Sold at Fetzer's

The people of Cabarrus have done
a becoming thing in erecting a
monument to their Confederate dead,
and the zest with which they en
tred into the unveiling exercises
yesterday was worthy of them.
Maj. Kobbins'epeech was no doubt
worthy of him and of the occasion.
The influence upon the public mind
of such demonstrations is healthful

he never overlooked the sireat medical
