It is BonaeiLitg quite out of th ordinary fur thin scribe to write seal bear etory, but the facts can be verifi'-d by hundreds of people. Friday afternoon while the great crowd exarmed on the streets, the big cinnamon bear with BparkV circus pulled up the stake to which it was fast rot d, took off its muzzle and walked deliberately from uc derneath the ten', making a straight cat for Main street. When reaching the sidewalk in front of the Morris hardware, the vicious looking ani mal met Jake Boger face to face. The bear hesitated fcr a moment, all the while Jake's eyes were grow ing larger and his heart betting faster, until he thought his time had surely come for a great strag gle. As Jake dashed ofi up Main street, the bear followed in close pursuit TLis little episode caused great exoitement, and it was the work of a moment that the street was cleared and the bear bad the town to i'self. It visited the Jew, Sidenburg, and made a flying trip to the haunts over the "clodiog" store, where the animal was cap tared by its Poland manager. It was then that the hearts of our offioers beat fiee and easy, for ap pealingty were voices beard from the store doors and windows for Chief Boger and the Sheriff to ar rest the bear. It showed no signs of viciousuess and was easily cap tured and managed. The keeper, as a matter of punishment, made bruin walk erect on its hind feet 10 its place under the canvass.

Applee of llolil In Plcturee of - liver Tbe following from the Chatham Record is timely indeed and ini presses upon us tbe proverb : Wordi' fitly spokan are like apples of gold in pntures of silver. "If the people should lose conQ dence in the integrity and honesty of their judges anarchy and mob rale may le expected. Therefore it is to be regretted tbat a per&iatent attempt is being made by some per sons and papers to destroy the re spect and confidence of the people ia and for some of oar most emi nent judges. And it ii especially to be regietted that so perdistent an attempt is to be made to excite th prejudices and passions of our peo ple against the Federal judiciary which, when the Southern people were in such dire distress, was their only bulwark against the diabolical legislation of a vindictive Congress. Yes, it was the Supreme court cf the United States tbat s'nod a shield to the oppressed people of the South during tbe dark dajs of re construction, and it was a FeJeral judge (Brooks) who iorced a North Carolina Governor (Io J-d) to re lease John Kerr and other victims of Kirks tyranny.

"My dear girl, when a man asks you to become his wife you ought to put some questions to yourself," writes Ruth Ashmore to girls oq "The Profession of Marriage," in the April Ladies Home Journal. "Satisfy yourself tbat you love this man well enough, not only to be happy with him, but, if need be, to suffer with him. Decide for your self if this be the man of all others in whom you will find your ideal companion, for companionship means aa much in marriage as ia friendship Then, you must think of the future. Ask yourself, too. whether this man brings out in you all that is best, whether he pro vokes that which is little and mean n you, or whether he piques you into making lightof that which is good. Decide whether this man is the one with whom you would bo willing to grow old ; whether this man is the one to whom you would, without hesitancy, submit questions that trouble your conscience. Then, too, you must ask yourself what seems, perhaps, like a trivial ques tion, whether this man is one whose name you will feel honored in bearing, not because of any material wealth he may possess, but because of his being an honest gentleman. mink out all these things, ask yourself question upon question, not only as to bis htness, but as to yours, and then, if you give him the loving answer that he wishes, try to become thoroughly acquaint ed with him.'' GREAT SALES prove the great merit ol Hood's Sarsaparilla. iloods Sarsaparilla polls bocause it accouiplidhes CREAT CU RES. KArmere TarllT Indeed. Soma of our more extreme Republican exchanges are calling the Dingley tariff bill the "farmers tariff bill." It certainly requires a great deal of cheek for a North Carolina paper to call any kind of tariff bill a "farmers bill." When it is remembered that North Caro lina farmers raise only tobacco and cotton for sale, that we export the large proportion of those crops, and that the price of what is consumed in this country is regulated entirely by tbe price which we get for the surplus sold in the open. free trade markets of tbe world, no one be lieves that putting a tariff tax, no matter bow high, on these articles would rite thir price a single point. Than the North Carolina farmer receives no benefit from the tariff. The only way it can affect him will be to compel him to pay higher prices for what he buys. The "farmers tariff" indeed. Mascot.
