We think from the way Hustler speaks of Cindy Jenkins throwing sand for some distance before she reaches her best fellow's house; she doesn't intend to "draw shingles or turn chairs' alone. We know a young lady who has an engagement to take a young man to church next Sunday, but we think he'll "get left" a she is too timed to carry it out. She needs some of Cindy Jenkins' bravery.

Was the Bear Looking for Oscar? Friday night Jim Royster, colored, was awakened by an unwonted com motion among his chickens-; his dogs of which there are a numerous fam ily, joined the chorus, and then dropped out one by one, howling as they went off as though some one had struck each of them in turn. Jim cautiously opened the door a crack and though it was very dark, still he was able to make out a large shaggy animal with bright eyes. In response to a growl Jim closed the door and retired to the upper story. In the morning bear tracks were found leading in a Northernly direc tion back of the Asylum.

C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1896. MASONIC. Annual fleeting of the Grand at Raleigh. Lodge The 100th annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina took place on the 14th inst. at Raleigh. The number ot delegates in town was rising six hundred. The Yar boro of course was full to overflow ing. Grand Master Moye called to order what proved to be one of the most enthusiastic and successful gatherings ever held. The speakers were many and interesting, Major B. S. Royster acquitting himself in his usual interesting and finished manner. Later our townsman was elected Grand Warden; other changes of officers were few and unimportant. lhe five thousand dollars raised by the Masons in 1895 to cover a like sum given by Mr. Duke, of Durham, making ten thousand dollars, are now in the treasury for the Oxford Orphan Asylum, to be used for new buildings and other important im provements. Mr. Duke renewed his generous offer, promising another five thousand dollars if the Masons would subscribe an equal amount during 189G. Two thousand dollars was pledged before the meeting ad journed and a committee appointed to secure the balance. A representative delegation of our citizens was in attendance, among them Capt. Lawrence, who was in his element, his genial smile being one or the many signs that the Ma sons were having a very enjoyable anniversary.

He did everything he could for it and nothing seemed to give relief, so he thought he would give a little whiskey, which killed it in stantly. Boys, I think you had bet ter let the stuff alone.

Col. Edwards made the opening speech, being fol lowed by other eminent counsel en gaged for the trial. The jury took the case at about 2 p. m. and soon returned with a verdict of not guilty. In regard to the evidence, it was of such a character as to be unfit for review in the columns of a respecta ble journal; the matter is therefore dismissed without further comment. The counsel for the State gave no tice of appeal to the Superior Court and the case will be tried "de novo" at our next term.

He made the change on account of better mail and railroad facilities, and he will also engage in the mer cantile business. As boys aie rather scarce here we nate to see him leave. T a 1 - 1 1 a T-r a iuiuk a gooa answer to Hum mers question, what is the difference between a young maid of 1G and an old one of GO, is 44 years experience, a lesson that some people live to learn by. Also I will say to Hum merthatl will come down early next spring just as soon as I can go bare- rooted. 1 danced out my shoes Christmas and the shingle business is rather dull now so can't buy any more. Mr. Editor, as I have a few min utes off from the many domestic and matrimonial duties which I have to perform 1 will pen a- few items to your paper subject to your approval Since my last letter the conductor on the train of time has come thro' and punched our tickets for another year, ihis tor many reasons is a very serious thought. First, we are one year nearer eternity and the grave and our race is one mile nearer TTT 1 111 n run. we snouici asK ourselves it we have made use of this time as we should and would we be willing for all of our acts and deeds to be pub lished in the Public Ledger. If not how can we afford to have them recorded above, and last but not least we are one year nearer the dan ger line or in other words the old maid's line. This is a terrible thought with all the girls to be left an old maid and have to live with brother and his wife and they won't run the house to suit us, or with sister and her husband who won't manage the farm or store or factory to our no tion. In fact we get so curious it is a hard matter tor us to agree with other people especially when we are in their house and they ot course think they should be boss. None of us would be left out in the cold if we could see the foresights as well as the hind, wuen we nrst come out on the carpet we imagine we can get any of them and listen to the flatteiy of a few dudes or practical flirts until we have let all the prac tical, hard working fellows go by and then it is like the old lady at Creedmoor last summer at the asso ciation during the storm, it is too late to pray when the old tellow comes and by the way, ?Ir. Editor, will you or some of your staff of cor respondents tell me at what age a lady is considered an old maid and hasn't she been given a tew more n . l 1 11 years or grace tnan sue once naa and when one will own she is an old maid how old would you guess she was. It seems to me I saw in some etiquette journal that the time for a lady to be declared an old maid had been changed and turned back to 40 instead of 30 and that the name had been changed from old maid to bach elor woman. But, Mr. Ihlitor, one thing remember, your humble ser vant from the city of Shake Rag don't propose to be left one if perse verance and push will keep her from it. You don't know anything about a fellow until a month or two after you have married him, so I dou't propose to do much picking and choosing. Cindy Jenkins. Tally Ho Tips. Mr. Robert Ragaa visited this section Sunday. Mr. W. A. Thomasson visited Shake Rag last Sunday. Mr. James Webb, of this place, killed a pig last week that weighed 345 pounds.
