We had the biggest freshet in the streams around here MoudajT that we have had for a long time. Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Day, of Oxford, spent last Saturday and Sunday at Berea yisiting their daughter, Mrs. Dr. Sweaney. The wheat crop seems to be feel ing the effect of the recent rains and waim sunshine as we have noticed some fields that begin to hide the ground. The road supervisors of Walnut Grove township are making arrange ments to have ths road fund of said township worked out on the roads leading to Oxford through said town ship. L. Home For Imbeciles. "Bellevue," April 8, 1895. Mr. Editor: I have been asked manv timps about the result of our application to the late Legislature for an appropriation of $4,000 for the establishment of a "Heme and Tminincr School for Imbeciles: " and l would like to tell something about it von. a.nrl all cood friends of the cause. We (Mrs. Brown and I) first began our work in Raleigh by pers sonally interviewing some of the members such as we imagined to be mnst vpsnectahle and rresentiner to them the great and urgent need of such an institution. iurs. crown irpTiflriinslv offered the use of her own house in Washington, N. C, for as long a time as the appropriation should be continued. We were in variably received with courtesy, and at least an appearance of great in terest in the cause, and if all the fair promises made to us nad been ruinn Pfl. wfl would have received not onlv their earnest support but more than double the amount that we asKea, for we were told on several occa sions that we "should have asked for much more than $4,000 for such a noble and necessary worK." But alas! for the good taith ot a P imn list Leo-islature! Thouerh we did indeed find one good and true man (there may have been others, hnt ware too "few and far between" for us to find them) but that one o-nor! man. Mr. Franck. from Onslow, most promptly and zealously took up ... ..... . t -i i i ic our "bill" ana introaucea n nimseit in the Senate. Then he was taken ill the very next day with pneumo nia nml snildenlv nassed awav from the political Babel that surrounded him to the peaceful rest ot tne grave. This was of course a sad blow to our cause, but we had received so many . 1 1 At .A promises ot support ironi oiners mat wp still honed the bill would be pass ed, having also the apparently hearty endorsement of the Commit tee on Education before whom I had presented it myself, about thirty members being present, and all (with the exception of one or two simple minded negroes and a few disreputa ble looking white men) pledging their earnest support to the bill. After returning to our homes we waited in anxious suspense for the final result, but when the disgrace ful affair of the "Douglass adjourn ment" came to our ears, we were most sincerely rejoiced to find that our bill had been ignored, or stolen, or lost, in any way, so that we were not indebted to such a Legislature for its successful passage, for to have found favor with that assem blage, would have been more honor for them than they were able to bear while it would doubtless have in jured the cause among many who were really true-hearted and friendly to it, if its success had been secured under the circumstances. So we are neither disheartened nor discour aged, though we may be delayed in the work, which in due time we will take up and carry on under more fa vorable auspices, and we hope and believe with better results. Mrs. L. E. Amis. It May lo as Mnch lor You.

Miss Minnie Brown is spending the week at her home in Danville. Our Sunday school has reorgan ized and resumed work again. We hope to do a good work this season. Our farmers are right much bea hind but are getting a hump on them and will no doubt get there in good time. The recent rain which fell was so very heavy that it stopped our trains by washing away several bridges on the A. & D. Our pastor, Rev. P. H. Fontaine, filled his appointment here Saturday and Sunday and preached two excel lent sermons. The man who deceives his neigh bor by wearing two faces is simply paying for a ticket to hell. Woe be unto a hypocrite. Some of our people abuse the "old rattle trap" but we have reasons to believe she is gaining ground and no doubt in 1896 will rattle so loud that not a sound of Thirdism will be heard. It was a pleasure to us to meet in Oxford Tuesday the clever and ge nial "Limber Jack," of Berea. Come again old friend and give us your spicy items and help us to talk to the boys. DUTCH. Otitfhvllle DririluR. Miss Sallie J. Aiken, of Tar River, is visiting relatives in this neighbor hood. Our farmers are veiy busy now planting and preparing to plant corn. We fear the sweet potato crop will be short as we learn the seed are rot ting in the beds. The peach crop will be small as we think a good portion of them aie killed by the cold. Mrs. Louisa Clark, who has been quite sick with the grippe, we are glad to hear is improving a little. Mrs. C. C. Wheeler, accompanied by her little son, Geoffrey Thacker, is spending a few days with her sis ter, Mrs. J. E. Suit. Tobacco plants are very small for this season of the year. Some farm ers think if they can get through planting their crop by the 10th of June they will do well. Our section is alwas bountifully supplied with agents from various enterprises, but the last one we had the pleasure to meet was a soap agent. His tongue was as slick as the best of soap. Well, Hard Times had the pleas ure of attending the picnic near Stem Monday and enjoyed it immensely. We met up with several of our cors respondents and we think they all had a very nice time, especially Good Times. He's married at last. Who? Why, Paul Brogden, the old thirty-five dollar tobacco fellow. He was mar ried to Miss Mary Beck last Wed nesday. Of course it was not very surprising to us as we have been lis tening out for it for several years. Hard Times. t'tillireth Callings. Mr. Muke Jones is sick with pneu monia.

Thp show and hollidav have come and gone and everybody has settled down to business once more. Mr S TT. Jones has rmrehased Messrs. Howard Bros, stock of goods and is ready to serve nis irienas at both stores now. Mr. W. W. Howard and his sister, Mrs. Wilson of Roxboro, spent a few days with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Howard, this week. More water and plenty of water seems to be all the go now and far mers are cast down oyer the gloomy prospects of making a crop. We are glad to state that Squire W. H. Smith continues to improve. He is one of the oldest men in this section, and has been sick for some months. The pic nic at Tar River Academy on Monday was a success and all seemed to have a most pleasant time. Dinner was plentiful and greatly en joyed. Some eating as many as three times, while others seemed to be talking so much loye that they were unconscious of dinner or any thing else but themselves. We were glad to see with the pic nicers Miss Octavia Holloway, of Oxford, and Miss Lucy Dean, of Henderson. Af ter the pie nic was over a goodly number gathered at the home of Mr. E. A. Howard and spent a few hours very pleasantly playing and singing. HuIjTLER. Knights of the Maccabees.

"The young as well as the old must die." It is with a sad heart we chronicle the death of Mr. James Puro-erson. which occurred Tuesday night, April 2d, of typhoid fever. He leaves a wife and one child, many friends and relatives to mourn their loss. He professed faith in Christ during his last sickness. Weep not, dear wite, but be ready to meet him in glory. toothbrush. An Actual Occurrence In Tennessee. Not many weeks since while wait ing impatiently (in the waiting room at Johnson City) tor the bouth bound train to Chattanooga, I met a "moun taineer beauty" of East Tennessee, who evidently had come in for a day's sightseeing. She was extreme ly tall and angular and her thin cal ico dress and limb sunbonnet of the same material clung to her as if they had no other support in the wide world, and her face which by the way was slightly freckled, wore a "madonna" expression. Fixing my eyes on this mountain beauty (think ing of course I had made a "mash") and really I had, for iu a few mo ments afterwards she was by my side and raising her voice to about the pitch of "E in Altissimo" en quired: "Aint you a drummer?" I am a traveling salesman," I replied; "what can I do for you?" "Weil, I wants to know about my train and ther aint nobody round that seems to know anything, and you drum mers seems to know it alJ," she laughed. , I soon gave her the desired infor mation and then she branched off: "I wuz over thar in the men's side uv the depot awhile ago,'" she said, looking around, "and when I went in thar every man wuz a smokin ann the way they treated me wuz realty insulting' "You didn't expect them to stop smoking did you? That is their waiting room you know and they have the right of way." She gently tapped the floor with the heel of her big calfskin shoe for a mo ment. "But they might have been perlite," she contended weakly. "What did you want them to do," I asked? "Well, some uv em (and here she pouted) might a axed me to smoke." Then reaching my hand in my pocket, I pulled out three cigars and offered them and not to my sur prise she took them all, and in a few moments was happily "puffing" away while I looked on in enjoy ment. F. O. L. It will be an agreeablesurprise to per sons subject to actacks of bilious colic to learn that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarreoea Remedy . In many instances the attack may be prevented by taking this remedy as soon as Ike first symptoms of the disease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by J. G. Hall, druggist. Pleasant Points. The outlook for a fruit crop is very good if we have no blasts. The fall wheat and oat crops are the most inferior ones for a long time. J. W. Pleasants, who has been on the bed for four weeks with a cut foot, is able to move about the house a little. The past two weeks has been a busy time with the farmers in this community. Some have commenced planting corn and the balance are getting ready. Rev. N. E. Coletrane filled his ap pointment the first Sunday and preached a most excellent sermon from Ephesians Gth chapter and 2d and 3d verses honor your parents. We went over to the school which is being taught by Miss Lena Pleas ants to hear the children's composi tions, speeches and dialogues and they acted in a way that showed good training. Notwithstanding the hard times people are buying and hauling guano for corn and tobacco, se you see that sweet Legislature, though they did some very mean things, did not stop our people from buying fertilizers. We were at Virgilina recently and found the merchants quite busy sell ing goods, and the warehousemen were anxious for the weed promising to give satisfaction ; if not they would pack your tobacco and put in the depot free of charge. Mrs. J. G. Shotwell, Misses Hattie Currin, Addie Nevil and Messrs. Clem Stantord, Sam Currin and Hus tler Pomp were the guests of Mrs. R. H. Pleasants the first Saturday night and Sunday, and also Kid Satters white and also little Puckett and Royster on Sunday. It seems to be an easier matter to raise plant bed covers than to raise plants as some one raised one from R. H. Pleasants' bed a few nights ago. This makes the third one we have heard of being stolen. One man found his and the parties had made clothing of it. Well, politics is the next thing we think of. We heard a negro say the other day that he was done with that low down, mean party, and this was one of the leading negroes (political ly) in this community. So you can see he does not like the laws passed by that sweet Legislature. I hope things will remain as they are as I think it will be best for us in the fu ture. Chopper. Granvf lie Greeting)).

Diekerson must be going into the sweet things as he made a raid on the great Sunday school man, J. P. Hunt, holiday and caps tured a barrel of molasses. We heard a young man say he hoped that all mortgages would be null and void for another fellow had one on his dearly beloved, and he thought that the best law enacted by tbe fusionists. The little daughter of Mr. W. M. Bradford, Beulah.has only attended school, which is being taught by that prince of teachers Miss Halhe Par ham, five or six days can read glibly in the first reader now. She could not spell but little if any when she commenced. Oh "Jack," we must think you are wrong in saying you have no sym pathy for, that young man whose sweetheart has gone off to school and would like to see others as you have been. Do recollect the Golden Rule "Feel towards others as you would others feel for you." Rev. W. S. Hester discoursed with the Gray Rock people Sunday at 11 o'clock and the Bethelites at 3 p. m. Has Bethel come to that, that we have to take what is left in every thing? But notwithstanding the Sunday school is well on the way of progress and we hope soon to haye it second to none on the circuit. There stands in the yard of M. J. McGhee, near Hobgood's old mill, an old oak tree which measures 96 feet from tip to tip and is 19 feet 9 inches in circumference. We saw another object which attracted our attention a black sheep. Mr. Mc Ghee told us it was a lamb when he was a boy, and he was about 35 years old. The little daughter, Adel, of Mrs. Pat Parrish as they were crossing the creek on a log at Tippett's mill, fell and came near being drowned. Mrs. P. had a small ope in her arms, a little boy by the hand and Adel holding to her dress, and she could not assist the dear little Adel, and had it not have been for the timely anDearance of a Mr. Tunstall she wou'd have been drowned, which for all time he will be her great bene factor. Friend "Leo," you gave us a con cise and very full description of the Nance Carpet Factory, telling its of ficers, its capacity and the many kinds of work done in it, and who was admitted and who not, all of which we thank you and think very nice. But, my dear old friend "Leo," what about those few plain questions we asked you that you have adroitly failed to notice, one of which was had you have been a member of the last Legislature would you have voted to adjourn in honor ot Douglass as others did? &e. But you don't forget to say "Oh ! ah Leopold, you like to have frightened us with the ghost ot Fred Douglass Oh! how can you be so reckless." Now, "Leo," we did not haye the re motest idea of scaring you with a negro or Republican. We under stand you better than that. If we had intended to frighten you we would have put up a Democrat. Haye you forgotten how frnzied you were in the last election? That you took down tbe Populist banner and hoisted the banner ot the Re publicans in this county, advising your noble order to do likewise? Are these not facts, "Leo?" We might ask you another question, but sup pose it would be unanswered as some of our former ones have been, and we won't. Is it not in order now to say. "He who lives in a glass house should mind how he throws stones?" As regards Mr. Cleveland's inviting Fred Douglass to one of his recep tions I care nothing. But Mr. FredJ Strudwick said it was a lie and Re publican rot. I would not vote now to adjourn any body in honor of Mr. Cleveland. Would you in honor of Mr. Douglass? I know you ought to answer now. Will you? Just a word about Gov. O'Ferrall introduc ing social equality at his table. Did he know that there were any negroes in the number of delegates, and had you have been a delegate would you have taken repast knowing that two negroes composed that august body? We do most sincerely hope and ex pect you will answer this question and tell us if you would have let such an honor slip as to lefuse to take tea with the Governor of Vir ginia, the State which is called the "Mother of Presidents." Now we will say to you we do not greatly en joy writing on the above line and have been forced to it by some of your ear marks, and we will promise you if it should continue to answer every question we are informed on that you may wish information. Will you do the same? Brother "Leo," you have fallen in a pit from which you will not be able to extricate yourself unless you come back home, and while the doors are open come.
