A prosperous young farmer over in Cabarrus county has just finished a wagon which is constructed from the timbers of a big oak tree that has a history. When the young man was a small boy he was found guilty of a boyish prank by Ins father, who took him into the yard, and cutting a small limb from an oak tree, thrashed hif offspring soundly. When the loy was repentent, he stuck the cut end ot the switch iuto the ground. The sprout grew to a large sized tree, and last year the boy, who is now a young nnrried man, had the tree cut dewn and sawed into lum ber. This spring, afcer the lumber had been well seasoned, the young man constructed a wagon of it. The wagon is said to be more wonderful than the "wouderful one-horse shay.''

There passed to h;s reward in this city ou Thursday, and old color ed man, Robert Clark, who was one ot the most notable and widely known characters of this section. He professed to be both a seer and prophet. For years he has been a familiar figure on our streets, and Saturday after Saturday, until he became too feeble to perform his self-imposed task, be could be seen walking down the street, blowing a tin trumpet, and when he arrived in front Dr. John C. Rodmau's office or the Coast Line depot, would mount a goods box and, after sing ing a hymn and leading in prayer, open his Bible and proceed to de fiver his yeekly sermon. He did not know a letter in the book, and to the arrusement cf the crowd fre quently some one would call his at tention to his having his Bible tip side down, wen Uncle Robert would reply: "Any fool can read the book right end up. but t takes a might) smart man to read it when it is turned the wrong end up." He claimed to have predicted the com ing ol the Charleston earthquake, numerous hail storm?, and the time when the world would come to an end, which latter has not come to pass as yet. He was also an extensive traveler, and claimed that he was commission ed by God to spread the glad news ana aenver certain messages irora God to men i 1 h r'i i 1 js, and on foot accompai.,ed by h.a t.u trum- phet and a bundle of sticks which he invariably held in his hanp while he preached aud which he claimed was his talisman against evil spirit' he walked over the greater portion of this State, South Carolina, and Virginia, preaching wheaever and wherever he could. He atone time visited Washington, D. C, as he elaimed he has been commissioned by the Almighty to deliver a mes sage to President Cleveland, warn ing tne uemocrats Wiiac was in store for them unless they repented iud believed the gospel, but hi mission came to grief as he was ar rested as a tramp, while trying to j;ain eatrance into the White House hut later on was' released as he was onsidered harmless, Uncle Rob rt never forgot the Washington an horities for placing this indignity n God's prophet, and he frequent ly predicted something awful would happen to the Cleveland administra tion. Uncle Robert was a great admir er of the late Judge Rodman, as he was of his sons after him. The Judgf gave him permission to preach in front of his office and protected bim from the teasing small boy, and th old negro never forgot him for it. But he has gone; we shall never set uis like again, and while we believ he was a misguided, ignorant man. vet he was honest in all his convio tions and did whit he conceived to be rU'bt. tUmt4tttftfm MMMMMM ft MMM Mfff An Attractive Emporium Is ours, showing a fine liue of beautisul Spring Dress Goods in Cawns, Dimities, Percals, Silks, etc. A FINE LINE OF Hamburgs, Lacss, Embroideries, etc. -A- Gr.
