N"o. 5 :
"Mr. P Gibson Cook gives us this
strange news for publication. On
Monday A ril 2nd at 4 o'clock p m,
while Mr. Cook was in his lowlands
at work he saw in the heavens a ball
of fire falling to , the earth in a
straight line; - . -
When a half mile above the earth
thelsall divided into four paats, . with
small tails, snd coatinued their fast
desent to the earth. He saw them
fall as they passed through the" top
of some small pines. The air
roared terribly at the time. Mr.
Cook says he'd like for some one to
solve the mystery. It would do one
good to hear him talk about it,"
It w&s a meteor, and its signifi
cance amounts to a warning: for
tthose who have not treated their
newspapers in a living manner. This
is without doubt a correct solution
of the 'mystery."

The i hnrapion Check Player.
Mr. Will Flo we, of Flows, Cabar
rus county, now appears te bechainv
pion checker player of the country.
He simply licks up whoeyer gts in
his way and has been beaten only v
once or twice in his life, end thn he
was thinking of his girl and not of
the spots on the board. Will is niw .
perhaps nineteen jear3.old, but has
ieen a fine player since he was thir
Jeen, and has grown better with age,
He is y not especially vicl of, the
gam ei bu pi ay 3 q ui t e as often for
the pleasure of others as for his 07.'h
enjoyment, never, failing, ho?.eTer,
to take off the honors for himself.
He is selfish in only one particular,
and that is that he will beat' his op
ponent.; Three years ago ha went to Da1
vidEon College as a "fresh," and the
boY3 there thought of course , no
fresh" could even interest them.
Will made no effort to get a game
with any of them, but one day,
through sheer curiosity, one of tLe
boys asked him to play. He played
and won. All the players of the
college tried him but came out at
the little end of the Horn. They
did not get a single game, and WilPs
playing exempted him from the sg
oaies of "hazing."
- - A few days ago he was in the city
and Utterly . "cleared the deck."
None of the crack players could
holchim a light. Mr. Flowe doesn't
py much attention to the board, but
wiih his quick -mental calculation
on? glanc? at the spots enables hiai
to make the proper move to win on
a mathematical certainty. Char
