Correspondence of the Visitor.
Swamp Hollow, April 17.
I would have written sooner, Mr
Editor, but I have been sick for sev
eral days on account of not having
anything to eat to give to a lot of
poor people who moved from Raleigh
to Swamp Hollow some time ago.
Some of the neighbors put their heads
together and soon food was raised for
them, one benevolent old lady giving
them a whole 40 cent flour sack full
of chufas, telling them that they
would la6t them several days. But
the U S government having heard of
their distressed condition, sent them
supplies, and they are now happy,
and I am well again.
A HAIR CUTTKR.
As I was walking down Sam Jones
street yesterday I saw something that
I never saw before. I know that
there are some curious things most
everywhere, but this got away with
me. I have traveled lots in my life-
been slap to Hillsboro, all over San
ford and Goldsboro, and even went as
far as Eagle Rock, and have seen
things, but I never saw a man cut his
own hair before. And it is done in
such a simple way that I would re
commend the plan to some of your
Raleigh people. It is this: The
man's hair was very long, and in or
der to save expenses he had placed a
wash pan over his head and simply
trimmed around the edges, If he
wanted much of it taken off he'd use
a small pan, and so on. Folks are
certainly smart now a days.
TWO LAZY MEW.
It is not often lazy people are found
in Swamp Hollow, but there are two
here and they are good natured fel
lows nothing bothers them except
the flies. Both of them got into such
habit last summer of brushing away
the flies and gnats, and their arms
got in such a motion that it was near
ly spring time again before they
foui.d out that the flies were gone. It
is a pity, but some people do have a
hard time in this world!
I asked one the other day why he
was smiling all the time. He said his
mother learned it to him when he was
young, and he hated to stop it it
was such hard work for him to smile
again. Poor fellow! he almost lost
his breath in trying to tell me this.
Theee two men are neighbors, and
sometimes they get a "smart fit" on
and work a little. They agreed to
work together in each other's gfr
den. They wer? to commence after
dinner. I heard them make their
bargain, and I was on hand to watch
them. They worked pretty for about
ten minutes, then I heard one say:
"Smith, this is an all fired hot
place: let's work under that tree."
They got under the tree, and it be
ing cool under there Jones lay down,
but Smith kept at work. But wpuld
you believe it, that lazy rascal work
ed all round that tree and kept up
with the shade. Smith got after
Jones and wanted to know why he
did not go to work. Jones told him
he would as soon as the shade got
aroand to him
WHAT THE ENGINE R SAID.
There has been a crowd of men
from Raleigh in town "for several
days past ' and I was surprised at
them. ' Every time they heard a lo
comotive whistle they would all run
to the depot to see the cars come in.
One day this week the northbound
freight came thundering in and as
usual these Raleigh men were there
But I will give them credit for one
thing they all had) umbrellas and as
it was pouring down raining they
had sense enough to get under them
Finally, the train was ready to go,
and when the engineer pull the throt
tle her big driving wheels did not do
anything but slip, the track being so
wet. Finally, the engineer remark
ed tc his fireman, "Watch me make
those fellows take down their um
brellas." Accordingly h,e stuck his
head out of the window, and said:
"Gentlemen, I wish you would low
er your umbrellas until 1 can get
away from here. Ycu see my engine
is afraid of them."
Every umbrella was put down in a
second, the engine pulled out, and as
the last box car passed one of them
said:
"Well I'll be durned! Who would
a thought a great big thing like that
was afeerd of a uinberell,"
But I must quit. Tours truthfully,
Job Biles.
Lecturer and Dcspciado.
During his lecture tours, which
filled the better part of eighteen
years, A Miner Griswold (the "Fat
Contributor") had many curious ad
ventures. One night while lecturing
in a very demoralized Western vil
lage he was constantly interrupted
and insulted by the town bully, a
desperado who had killed a number
of men. The doorkeeper and u her
were afraid of the fellow, who came
for the avowed purpose of breaking
up the entertainment. Griswold fin
ally lost his patience, and, stopping
short in a sentence, said to the ruf
fian:
"My dear sir, either you or I must
leave the hull."
The man leaned back in his chair
and smilingly answered:
"Waal, young fellow, I guess you
had better quit."
The lecturer stepped back, and
then, running forward at full speed
leaped from the platform full upon
his adversary. What vith his speed
big weight (190 pounds), and the
height of the rostrum, his impetus
knocked the man senseless and
smashed the chair in which he was
sitting. He was carried out a hope
less wreck, amid loud applause, and
Griswold returned to the platform
and finished his lecture New York
Star.
The Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs has received a telegram from In-
dian Agent Upshaw asking for troops
to suppress a threatened uprising of
the Indians on the Tongue River Re
servation in Montana.
