ARM STRONG, Dl.eaaea of the Beasona. Physicians' say that certain diseases - follow the changing seasons with al , most clockwork regularity. ; Thus acute rheumatism Drevalls ' from February till April, inflammations of the lungs - from March till May, stomach and In testinal complaints In August and cholera from August to October.' On this basis some hygienlsta classify dis eases Into summer, fall, winter and spring diseases. This classification is supported by many facts which show that weather changes really exert po w erfullnfluences upon health and dis ease. To cope successfully with these changes and their harmful Influences fiaily exereiso In the open" air In nil kinds of 'weather and at all seasons of he year Is the best preparation. , This toughens the system and la at once prevention and core. !'

Decoration Pay wa3 observed here yesterday more especially by the colored people Crowds of thein began to arrive in tho city Friday night, and the train Satur day morning brought in many others. There were perhaps a thousand besides the home contingent, and all combined to make a day of it. There was much eating and drinking, but on the whole the crowd was orderly. It strikes a stranger as being peculiar custom that a Memorial day should be observed by feasting uud carousing, but that is the way Decoration Day is kept by most of the negroes of the South. They look upon it as only a holiday, a kind of Fourth of July, and they feel called upon to celebrate, and they do it. A few of the old soldiers and some of the most Intelligent of the race went out to the National Cemetery and conducted exercises and decorated the graves of the sleeping soldiers, but by far the larger psrt of ths crowd stayed down town and made merry. Letter to W. M. Watson. New Bern, N. C. Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair Ground, Cobleskill, N. V , were glad to pay 15 cents a gallon more for Devoe; and no wonder. Two other paint agents said it would take 150 gallons of their paint to cover the buildings. Our agent put It at 127 or less. It took 115. We saved them 35 gallons of paint and painting (worth $4 to $5 a gallon, as the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint) less 15 cents a gallon on 115 gallons. Say $110. That's how to count the cost of paint, The cost of putting it on is $3 or $4 a gallon. You see what that means. Go by Devoe. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co , New York, P. 8. E. W. Smallwood eells our paint.

A lot of nice soft crabs were being peddled around town yesterday. They wero the finest seen here in some time, and sold quickly for five cents each. Irish potatoes are coming In plentiful now, but are of poor quality and small. The dry weather prevented maturity. They sell for $1.25 to $1 50 the bar rel. The schooner William Layton, from Norfolk, was In port yesterday laden with corn and hay for MrOL Spencer, The cargo of corn being over sixteen undrcd bushels. The Mayor had an easy session Satur day morning, an audience of three pre- ented itself. Disorderly, and costs to pay for one, the others not proven, so were excused further attendance at court.

C, was apprehended here yesterday by policemen Lupton and Bryan, and lodged in the county Jail, to await ad vice of the Onslow authorities. One cf the founders and promoters of Bridgetown, who Is also a clerk In a store in New Bern, became embroiled In an argument with the keeper of Neuse river bridge. The twain resorted to man's natural weapons to settle the dis pute, and for a while the fun was fast and furious. Save for a few abrasions of the cuticle and a small loss of blood from the nose, no other harm wu done, Each contributed $3.67 for their fun Would it not be well to open another gate in the railing opposite the waiting room for white people, at the A & N C station t Yesterday It was noticed that white people could scarcely push through the mass of colored people grouped In the single gateway and In the stoop, waiting for the evening train, This is a small matter, but would add much comfort and convenience to la dies. One of New Bern's promising young sons was seen a day or two ago, para ding around the streets, clothed In the regulation blue durlms lugging a large paint bucket. Whether the youth was masquerading or acting for effect the writer knoweth not. It was e'en hinted that 'be young man- had gone to work, but as he had never been accused of such before, the suggestion wu doubted. The doubts were correct. It is a very common thing to see river crafts coming in port loaded with wood, but It is quite an unusual sight to see boats loading up and freighting wood away from town. A boat wu in the dock yesterday loading with mill wood and the captain of the craft said that the wood was shipped for Ocracoke, and ex plained that he made' a good business hauling wood from the mills here and other mills lower down the river Portsmouth and Ocracoke. . v Thousands suffer and hundreds die every year In this country ' from soma form of Bowel Complaint.

Fruit f respects. Newport on the A N C railroad Is a busy place these days, Its track crops be ing good, with demands for all its pro duct. Lut week a solid carload, containing beans, cabbages and potatoes wu ship ped to Gutenia N C something unusual, and a proof that the town and surround ing country Is rapidly growing, Oon- slgnmenta of truck are made dally, but the solid carload lot to a North Carolina wa, shows whst'sdolng. Geo. N. Ives and Son owners of the Newport Fruit Farm, say that the fruit crop this year promises to be an average one. Peaches and plums will be rather less than usual good crop, but the pear crops promises to be the largest on record. The pear trees are already so full and heavy, that they must be relloved of two thirds of their present growth, In order that the trees may not be broken down, and a'good crop secured. Other crops all look well. As Seen on the Bridge. Drunk and unconscious, he lay stretched out In his cart, u his trusty horse drew him along across Neuse river bridge yesterday. Ths man had come to town In the early morning with a basket of eggs, some chickens, and other small prodacts from the farm, had sold his load, and In its place had taken on a load so heavy that he was utterly crushed to the earth. A load from the effects of which be will pass many woeful hours. Some one had placed him in the empty cart and his good old steed wsb taking him home. Home to a disappointed family, disappointed in not receiving from town, tho articles for which they had tent. A kind person on the bridge, fearing for the safety or the unconscious one tried to arouee him, but falling In the sttempt, allowed him to pass on, the horse in the meantime, carefully picking his way along across the bridge. Who will say the horse was not tho noblest animal of the two ? Reception to Graduating: Class.

Carnw&y in early manhood was a gallant Captain cf Cavalry in the Con, federato army, serving his country well.

There are two Individuals in every community who have corns to be looked upon by the other people u necessary evils. They are the kicker and the crank. The kicker la always crank but ths crank is not always a kicker. The crank Is of several varieties bat ths kicker hu only one he just kicks. It's the nature of, the bout and he can't help It. J The daily life of the kicker is stren uous and because of the exercise of his prerogative he often accomplishes a little good for other people. . Hence, his miss ion on earth is not wholly In vain. It sometimes jars one's good nature, though to be constantly reminded how easily things might be better. The kicker never stops to think how much worse it might be. J As hu been said before the kicker's dally life Is strenuous. He arises la the morning and kicks because he hu to work. Then something is wrong with the breakfast The steak is tough, the coffee cold and the milk . sour. And he kicks like a boy steer. He goes to his work and finds every thing gone wrong. The stock or cotton, or what market is on the bum and he organizes a long and strenuous kick and makes himself heard even If he isn't agreeable. He returns to the bosom of his family, the burden of discontent still resting heavily on his mind and he keeps up his kicking antll he Is again wrapped in slumber. Even In his sleep he has a nightmare which kicks. v J Possibly this feature of our friend's nature is a blessing in disguise. It may seem peculiar for one to say this after having said all theso mean things. But it is not fair to give the kicker such a bad reputation without giving him a show. The kicker is a dissatisfied mor tal, honest but erratic, and his kick will bear fruit In the Improvement of tho or der of things. There re a lot of things In this world that would be suffered to exist In an' im perfect state simply Decause there was no one to find fault or to discover a new method or make an invention. With most people the lazy motto "let well enough alone" is paramount but the kicker comes boldly to the rescue and stirs things up a little and produces satisfactory result. J Doubtless it is the kicker who Is re sponsible in one way or another for the many modern conveniences which we now enjoy and which we consider India- pensable. If this be true we can fer vently say "God bless tho kicker" even if he docs cause weariness to the mind. Man Abont Town. CASTOHJA.
