the leaning of a ttecond series of etock,
which will be done May 1 2th. The asso
ciation eo far baa bet-a a decided success
aot a sing's aubacriber to first series of
stock baring dropped off the list, and but
one etock transferred. The officers of the
association will endeavor to make the
. second laaue of stock as large aa possible,
as the greater the amount of etock eub
scribed the greater benefit will ba done
to Kinaton.
The family of Mr. J. F. Jarman were
tadly frightened last night about 9
o'clock by a noiae aa if someone waa
breaking Into the barn. They gave the
aJarm and several neighbors investigated
' and found that some person had really
broken in and carried on a lot of hay,
This was all that waa missed, but It ia
probable that a lot of corn was also taken.
Mr. Jarman waa away from home at the
time but waa notified and went hurriedly
to the scene, but the thief had made good
bis escape. This makes fonr or Ave times
that feed atuff boa been stolen from two
or three families in that neighborhood.
" Miss Anna L. Howard, daughter of
Her. C. W.Howard, of this county, super
intendent of education, was recently

ronto, Canada. Feb. 20 and will bold
, to March 2. Tills is a large body, being
International, and the honor conferred
: upon Mlea Howard aa the representative
of her school ia quite a pronounced one.
Mr. J. W. Black haa a dog that he is
bragging on. Mr. Jaa. F. Parrott shares
' the pride because he once owned the dog
and has others of the same etock. Mr.
Black la telling of one instance where
hie dog showed almost human intelll-
genoe. Mr. Black owns a cow that haa
no fancy for the dog. The other day the
cow made a mad lunge at the dog and
almost succeeded la reaching him. Mr.
. Black waa a witness to the scene and re
marked that he would have to buy two
knobs for the cow'a horns to lessen the
danger of Injury to the dog it ahe ehould
some day catch him unawares and ac
compHab her wicked purpose of tossing
him in the air. The dog overheard the
remark and evidently understood, for be
i disappeared and returned later carrying;
' and placing at the feet of Mr. Black two
knobs for the horn of his enemy, the
cow. . .. .
Mr. T. W. Becton, who lives nine mifee
north of Kinaton, was in Goldsboro yes
terday afternoon looking for his son
Joseph Becton, who left home Saturday
. with a dark bay mare mule and had not
been seen or heard from since. The old
gentleman made Inquiry at all the sale
stables here and finally learned that the
boy had come to Goldsboro late Satur
day afternoon and had offered to sell the
mule at the stables of Edgerton & Hoi
. lowelL The offer was mads to Mr. Wal- i
ter Holmes, who very quickly asked the
boy where be had stolen tbe mule. The
young man did not relish that kind of
chat and be mounted bia mule and rode
off. He did not make another attempt
to sell tbe anfmal here in Goldsboro and
- has not - been seen since. The boy's
father seems much worried over bis son's
disappearance, and said that his wife,
the bor a stepmother, did not get along
well with him, which be thought had
caused tbe boy to leave home. He said
bis boy waa about 18 years old. Golds

A Xewbera Nearro Arrested.
James Mitchell, colored, waa arrested
at Kinaton thia morning, from causes we
will leave to tbe reader to judge from the
relation of tbe following circumstances.
A Fuck Pkvs reporter entered Mr. Geo.
B. Webb's shop looking for newa. Seeing
two pollcemeu atanding, and a corpulent
negro anting on a rncn, apparentivcon
tented, smoking a pipe, we made in
quiry if anything was the matter. The
poliiemen replied that we could ask
him." We did so and be related the fol
lowing story:
"My name ia Mit bell, and I have been
working in Mr. Jewel's barroom at New
born. Last nlaht atkin game waa goiug
on up stairs above the bar. While com
ing down the steps from watching the
game 1 saw a policeman. I hollered
'boy a here comes the police.' It seems
they didn't have eenee enough to blow
out tbe light, and in consequence were
arrested. I got out of tbe way and
wasn't." Tbe negro's relation of the cir-
ciimatances now grew rich In language to
tbe extreme. He said, "I was like the
rabbit who went to school ten years and
didn't learn but two words, 'be particu
lar so thinking thoee negroea might
turn State evidence and lie on me, I
evaded tbe officers at Newborn and took
the train out tbia morning. On arriving
at Kinston I was arrested by a smart
Alecky nigger named Joe 8treet"
A lew minutes later Street came in and
when asked tbe cause of Mitchell's arrest
said it was for stealing some of "In God
We Trust."
The police authorities have wired to
Newborn notifying the authorities at
that place of Mitchell's arrest and a reply
was received to hold him until further In
structions. Mitchell was lodged in the
calaboose, but stoutly denies being guilty
of anything besides being a witness to a
"crap game."
