2 months and 22 day s.
Well we remember a few days ago
A sweet smiling little face,
That we shall here see no more
In its accustomea place.
It lies beneath the sod,
In a cold little grave,
Where the wild trees nod
And in the bveezes wave.
Oft in our lonely hours
We will turn our footsteps there,
And gather the sweetest of flowers
And plant them gently there.
But soon we shall sleep
By her side bpneath the sod,
Where the sweet flowers peep
And the oak trees nod.

Foreign Ileal Estate Ownership.
I,
English capitalists are looking at
this country as an inviting field for !
investment, and mo e particularly to i
North Carolina as the most inviting, ,
but unnaturalized people should not
be permitted to' hold real estate in
this country.
So far as any profits accruing from
the cultivation or mining of such
lands are concerned, they are all car
ried out of the country when owned
by non-residents, which should not
be tolerated. If North Carolina has
no law to this effect the present Leg
islature should enact one.
