The Chatham Record says: There is an old man named Archie Andrews ' living near the dividing line between Chatham and Orange counties, who will be 103 years old next February. He married when only 17 years old and he and his wife lived together for 80 years, she haying ; died 3 or 4 years ago. He has a son now living who Is 88 years old, and another who is 80 years old. Mr. Andrews' health is good, and he has the prospect of liv ing several years longer. Now, trot pat your old men ) Our Chamber ol Commerce. There will be a meeting of this or ganization at the Mayor's office to night at which it is expected the most important matters will be presented for consideration. Reports for the past year will be made, and plans for future operations will be mapped out. It is earnestly requested that a full attendance shall be on hand. It is expected that President Thompson will lay before the Chamber some views of the u'most importance, re quiring most earnest consideration and prompt action. That much has been accomplished by the organiza tion is undeniable, but a great deal yet remains to be done, and this cannot be effected without the members take an interest in the work. The public are looking on with a great deal of anxiety for something that will give us a push in the way of progress. Raleigh, in some respects i is lagging behind, and it will require energy to place us on a level of many of the go-ahead communities of the State. Among other matters, we hope the Chamber, tonight will make some effort to enquire into the delay about the building of our new depot and that they will inaugurate some means to find out the hitch in the matter of the extension Of the Albemarle and Raleigh Railroad. These are two of the many questions that directly con cern our people now. and may be con sidered of vital importance. We hope we may be pardoned for the reminder, that the appointment of committees, and paper resolves amount to 'little or nothii g, unless there should be action. The custom of appointing committees to look af ter certain matters, and then let them slumber without even a report, is something like child's play. The people like prompt action, as the on ly means of securing success. Let there be a large attendance tonight, and let there be such en exhibit of en ergy and determination as will en courage us to expect the speedy ac complishment of schemes for our ad vancement, WeJiope we will not be charged with fault finding, because, the Cham ber of Commerce has undoubtedly been a great lever for good in our mid6t. It is evident, however, that there has been too much leth argy of late in its meetings. Let the meeting tonight show a spirit of determination that will awaken en couragement. Personal Mention. Misses Mittie and Alma Ellis are visiting friends and relatives in John ston. Miss Agnes Doub, a beautiful and accomplished young lady from Greens boro, is visiting Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Bobbitt. Mr. N. B. Broughton will lead the services at the Union Mission tonight. Mr. Earnest Martin is at Blowing Rock, where he will speni several weeks in recreation and pleasure. C. M.

Young Mr. Creech today had a very delicate operation per formed on one of his eyes, by Drs. Lewis & Battle.

An exchange says: It can be asser ted, without being gainsaid, that the present crops were produced at less J iAoi luttu over ueiurn. ii in I rue inai the seasons have been unusually fa vorable, which lessens the expense account very much, but beyond that the farmers have practiced economy as never before, and as a general thing they have only bought what they were compelled to have. Bare Pigeons. Mr. C. O. Ball, at No. 11 East Har gett street, one of Raleigh's most promising young merchants, has quite a number of pigeons of differ ent species. Among them the beau tiful Pouters, Fan Tails, Carriers and Ruffle Necks. Should there be a pi geon show, as suggested by some one the other day, for the benefit of the Soldiers' Home. Mr. Ball says he will take great pleasure in loaning his pigeons to the association for that purpose. Let us press the matter and have the show at an early day. How Paradise is Really Lost. London Telegraph. "Where was the Garden of Eden?" was one of the interesting questions on which Mr. Hormuzd Rassam dis coursed before the Victoria Philoso phical Institute, Sir G. G. Stokes, M P in the chair. Mr. Rassam has been recently excavating Babylonian and Assyrian sites, but he has not found the Eden site, and he showed how utterly impossible it was to fix the locale in a land where volcanic action and physical alterations had in many places changed the courses of the rivers in past ages. In this sense it is really "Paradise Lost." A Plucky Girl. Wilmington Messenger. ' A gentleman from Pender county, who was in the city yesterday, in forms us that on last Monday after noon a negro called at the residence of Mr. William Walton, in Pender, and knocked at the back door. Mr, Walton's twelve year old daughter was the only person at home and she told the man at the door to go around to the front door. He then went to the front door and knocked three times when she asked him who he was, at the same time slightly opening the door. As soon as the door opened the rascal shoved his arm through and caught the young lady but she happened to be in reach of a pistol and immediately seized it to protect herself. The man thereupon loosened his hold upon her and fled, but she fired a him and thinks she struck him in the hand or arm, as he ran off shaking his hand.
