I Tmfrm 1 MIKSTRELL BOYS Df WILLIAM STOIt They Gave Them a $62.25 Hrase The Minstrel Boys went o»tt to Williams ton Monday with their show and our neighbor town, in common parlance, treated them white. But it was jwt what tbe boys expected; for they knew where they were going and knew the people they were going to see and show for. From tKc moment they in town, to their de part ore. they were shown the very kindest treatment* inch as J hat always characterized William | tton people from our faintesj re ' collection. Tbe troupe went, some in bug gies and others in wagons, through the country oyer the new ferTy across the Roanoke—arriving there about four o'clock. It is only a two hour's drive. Several ladies accompanied them I The Opera House was packed— -1 packed to the extent of $62.25. The Boys pctfotnied well, aad were highly gratified at the pleas ing manner in which the show was received. The locsl jokes and verses on oar neighbors were received ia tbe same spirit they were written, and were loudly applauded. After the performance oar friend* delighted us with one of the picas an test dances we have ever pnrtici |pa ted in. Tbe light fantastic was ; tripped by the Minstrel Boys with 'no Utile pleasure. And they are loud in their praises and compli ments of fair ones across tbe Roa noke; my they intend to recipro cate the ?a toe at no distant day— especially in as much as communi cation between the two neighborly toaxs is but a two hour drive. The Boys returned home after the dance (some very reluctantly who declare their visits hence forth shall be of shorter duration in their intervals '} —Windsor Ledger. OCT OF DEATH'S JAWS.

The following complimentary words taken from the Good Roads Magazine, a New York publication, show that the pianrer* ia the work of road improvement, and especially in the use of convict labor on the public roads in this State, are living to sec the good result of what was at first a very unpopular move ment. We should appreciate such high praise coming as it does from an authoritative source. "Summer and winter tourists are giving an impulse to the move ment ia the South, and It is said that in the mountains of Tennessee. Virginia and North Carolina, there are many stretches of road vary ing from ten to fifteen miles ia length so perfectly engineered that one way drive over them at a trot every foot of the way. according to the Boston Transcript. Bnt the roods of Mecklenburg county, N. C., are declared to be the best in the South, and their construction has been largely coincident with [the development of the cotton spinning industry of Charlotte. In 1890 the county authorities secured a lav enabling them to employ con victs for the improvement of the highways. It has proved a good thing for the highways, and an equally good thiag for the con victs." HIS LIFE IN PFJtIL. '1 ja»t *racJ to have put all fat pie***," writes Alfred Bee. of Welfare Tex..

The best teachers and brightest pa pi Is are at a disadvantage when the school house is cold, dreary/cheerless The women alone can bring about the improvement of the school houses, which require good taste and deft hands. This work ought to enlist the hearty co-operation of the most progressive uomia in the State.

Unlike eclipse of the Sun in which event the solid orb of the Moon passes between us and the Sun, the Moon only plunges through the long, ta pering shadow of the Kartli. and the thin shawow is largely dissipated in the telescope by the refracted light on the Moon's face.

At the Virginia Medical Society which met at Newport News last week. Dr. Lewis Wheat reported a case of teroderma dermatitis, ex hibiting the patient, a seren-year old boy from Petersburg. who was examined after the report by Moat of the physicians present. It is a very rare disease of the skin' and developed in the presen tation of the case that it is one of probably less than fifty known to the medical profession in the whole world. Many eminent physicians go a whole lifetime without seeing a case, and Dr. Wheat was not slow to recognize that the ca.-e would be of surgical interest to the profession. The earnest manner in which they examined the pccaliaf-disease showed that they appreciated the trouble Dr. Wheat took in getting the boy there for examination. ■ DO GOOD—IT PAYS.

I had an opportunity to visit an J ostrich farm white in Ashcville, N C-. a few weeks a go. My husband and a friend accompanied rue. The next morning after our arrival we took the cars, which make a trip every ten minuter, and were scon there. We knocked at the door of a neat little cottage and were pleas antly greeted by a sweet-faced lit tle girl, who said: "Twenty-five cents, if yon j4ease.'' She con ducted lis to the rear of the house where the t.irm is situated. We were placed in the charge of a courteous geirtleman, who willingly answered any question asked him and many of them, too, were very foolish ones. There were already many visitors, and others kept coming all the time. The guide must be sow relative of a certain Bible character for he patiently did his duty. I shall never regret my visit to see the fowls with their im mense feet, long necks and silly looking little heads. Ouite inno cent expressions, however. I could hardly class them with birds, still they belong to the feitliered tribe. They are long-lived, often living sixty years. If one should go in their pen, he would be killed, » they are naturally ferocious. The pens are made of wire fencing and a pair is confined in each pen. The male is beautiful with perfect ly black feathers and a white feath er here and there. Plucking tinta.' COMNI every six or eight months. The female is ugly and lays from ten to fifteen eggs, which she hatch es by the help of her mate. The feathers are sold to visitors for (15.00 and more. Quantities of them are shipped to New York * here they are prepared for the trade. Fans are made by. the yonng girl in charge and bring $S 00 each. Pheasant feathers are used in this way also and bring $3 00 each In a pen by them- selves, lived four little ostriches which seemed to be enjoying the beautiful scenery in the "Land of the Sky." Each pen contains a trough, in which he put corn and hay cat op for them. They can go without water for some time without suffering. i I hope to return to the interest ing place again and shall try to go before the birds arc pltu*ked. I ad vise visitors to see the farm when in the vicinity of Asbe\ iUe—it is one of the meat attractive sights in Western North Carolina. / Mrs. S. D. MATTHEW vs. Hamilton, H. C.
