An interesting celestial phenomenon that will occur this month will be a par tial eclipse of the sun on the 28th. The eclipee here will only be visible for a few minutes just as the sun ia linking below the horizon. The local market is well supplied with chickens and eggs just at this time. One dealer informed the writer yesterday that he had four hundred dozen egg in his store at that time. Chickens are being sold at prices rang ing from 30 to 60 cents while the eggs are bringing 12 J cents per dozen. An automobile racing up Broad . St. yesterday, ran over a dog and killed it. The driver never took any notice of his cruel and careless act, but went en as fast as ever. Automobiles are being driven around town entirely to fast and recklessly, and the end will be a trage dy that will shock the whole communi ty. The weather is unusually dry for the time of year and the growth of vegeta tion, in consequence, is very backward, none of the spring crops are showing up like they usually do at this season, and it is noticed that even the forest trees are very glow in budding. What effect this cool, dry weather will have on later crops remains to be seen. If Craven county purchases the six 'mules, wagons and plows as was order ed at the meeting of the Board of Com missioners laBt Monday it is an assured fact that there will be a number of miles of good roads built in the near future. It is said that at times the road leading out from Bridgeton to Pamlico county is at times almost im passible. With a large convict force te keep the roads in good condition there "is no need for such conditions. THURSDAY. Only a few bales of cotton have been sold on the local market this week. The price paid for the staple averaged 14 J cents per pound. During the past month the register of deeds in this county issued 20 mar riage licenses. This makes a total of 67 licenses issued during the present year. A two week term of Craven County Superior Court for the trial of both criminal and civil cases, will convene in this eity next Monday morning with Judge Garland S. Ferguson presiding. Next Saturday, April 8th, Supt Joy ner, of Raleigh will address the teach ers of this county at the court house in this city on the supject of the Farm Life School. Supt Joyner is thorough ly f amilar with this subject and all who are interested in this work should not fail to hear him. Judging from the appearance of the local docks yesterday there is a large amount of shipping being done by the water route just at this time. The writer counted six large schooners and an innumerable number of smaller boats unloading their various cargoes. This condition speaks well for the commerc ial activity of this city. Keep your dining room properly screened and your food will be more wholesome We can supply you with the Screens. J. S. Basnight Hdw. Co ,. . ' 1 1 "" Difference) In lee.

Fanner Gordon was engaged for a fortnight to drive a political candidate about the county In bis buggy. They traveled by day, each town being a stage, and the politician spoke every evening. The man was honest and well mean ing, but careful local partisans bad tried the temper of each community la advance and reported to him with suggestions. So It happened that from bis extreme anxiety to please his ex pressed conviction on the Issue varied considerably from time to time. "Well, Mr. Gordon." said tbecandl date one day at the beginning of the second week, "bow do you stand on the election? How are you going to voter The farmer was silent thinking. "I really don't know," be said. "1 can tell better, maybe, at the close of our engagement" "Can't make up your mind- yet? You've heard all of my speeches." "Yes. and I like you personally, and I'm hoping to get to vote for you. Don't worry at least, not yet" "Not yetl Why do you say that?' asked the puzzled candidate. "Well, you've had several points of view, and I'm Just waiting and think ing maybe before the end of the week you'll get round to mine too." Youth's Companion. MISSED THE KANGAROO. The Hunter Wae After Meat, but Got Instead a Stons. In 1889 a hunter in New South Wales took a fancy for some kangaroo meat so be made a trip through the mulga with no companion but his gun. He had no need of either guides or dogs, as he was an experienced bush- man. The first kangaroo sighted, was wounded by him, but not badly enough to disable it. Before he could get in another shot it made off through the salt bush at a terrific pace, but leaving a plain trail In drops of blood, so the hunter followed as fast as be could. The trail gradually grew fainter as the wounded animal bled less freely, and Its pursuer was often, obliged to stoop and examine the ground closely for the telltale signs. After several hundred yards had been covered with out seeing any more crimson spots the hunter began to think bis quarry had escaped, when be saw a single fleck of red before him. As he bent to look for more flecks the red changed to an Iridescent pale green, and he say It was a gem stone that lay before him. The kangaroo was not bagged, but the White Cliffs opal fields were discovered. New York Press. A Pish Aids 8cisncs. There appears to be no limit to sci entific curiosity, especially In Ger many. Not long ago a scientist of Leipzig, wishing to ascertain whether fish are warmer than the water they live In, stuck a needle connected with a thermoelectric circuit into a living fish In an aquarium. The needle formed one element of the circuit while the other element was Immersed In the same water' that contained the fish. The latter was not seriously Injured by the needle and, quickly became Indif ferent te It Then as the fish swam about carrying the needle, the Ingen ious savant closed the circuit and kept watch of the galvanometer. It show ed no deflection whatever, from which te concluded, that the fish and the water were precisely equal In tempera ture, for bad either been warmer than the other a current would have been generated in the circuit Chicago Rec ord-Herald. The Furtive Look. Here la something worth while for bachelors to consider. A Boston woman says she can detect a bachelor as far as she can see him. She always knows a bachelor by his furtive look. The furtive look, she explains,- la something akin to that of a hunted animal, always on the watch for snares and pitfalls. Of course this may apply only to Boston bachelors, bat It would be well for all other sin gle unfortunates to take a good look at themselves In the mirror and find that telltale look, if ,tbey do there U an easy way te efface it Cleveland Plain Dealer ." ' No Cxbuse at All., A noted comedian condemned at a dinner In New York a new comedy. "Its climax," be said, "is fnine and unsatisfactory as false and unsatis factory as Bowndar's excuse. On Rowndar's return at a very late hour his wife said reproachfully: "Yon used to vow 1 was the sun shine of your life, but now yon stay out night after night' . 'Well, my love.' said Rowndar, 'I don't ask for suushlne after dark." New York Tribune. Impertinence. Mr. Todgers Why bare yon sent l'arta. tbe servant girt, swsy so snd f 'ulyT.

Lower the Head te Let the Blood Baett i. to the Brain. .' - ' Fainting Is a loss of consciousness due to the diminution of blood supply to the brain, it occurs most frequent ly in weak, sensitive women, but may occur also to men as well. It usually occurs In crowds or In crowded balls, theaters and churches, where the at mosphere Is close and the air foul. Fainting usually lasts only a few minutes, and the person recovers Im mediately! when taken out Into the fresh air, but there are cases In which It lasts much longer, sometimes for an hour or more.". The first aid treatment of fainting ia usually very simple. Take the person out into the fresh air and lay him' flat on the back, with the bead lower than the feet This can be done by grasping the feet and holding the body so that the head bangs down, or take an ordinary straight back choir, turn it over so that the back forms an angle with the floor and place the person on the- brick ot the chair with the bead banging down. This position with the bead hanging dpwn favors the flow of the blood back to the brain. All tight clothing about the neck and waist should be loosened. Smelling salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia applied to the nostrils and cold water sprinkled on the face, chest and hands help to restore consciousness. Nation al Magazine. THE SILVER DOLLAR. Many Changes In Its Design Since it - Was First Issued. The silver dollar baa undergone great many changes since It was put In circulation in 1794. On the face of the first dollar there was stamped the bead of a young woman turned to the right and with hair flowing, as If she was In a gale of wind. But In 1790 congress came to her relief and ordered her hair to be tied up with a bit of ribbon. The fifteen stars which ap peered on the first dollar were aftet this reduced to the original thirteen in recognition of the number of states. . In 1838 the design was again chang ed, and the dollar bore the figure of a woman dressed In a flowing garment The designer forgot however, to put In the thirteen stars, and the coin was soon called In, the new design having the woman surrounded by stars. Her air was defiant and stiff looking, and In 1838 dollars were Issued which were more artistic in treatment The first dollars bearing the motto, "In God We Trust" were coined In April, 1864, and In '1873 the era of the trade dollar be gan, lasting just five years.
