A pair of long-eared Missouri mules took one glanct' and vampoosed into parts uutravelled before, and in no graceful manner either. Their rude actions were imitated all the day and pedestrians were the safer and happier. » Monday afternoon Mr. Biggs with Mr. Clyde Tilghman started from Wilson enroute to William ston, Tuesday p. m. they had reached Robersonville and took a much needed rest. By the pale gleam of the stars, they began the journey again—but no, the machine dec ided otherwise when about two miles out aud allowed itself to be towed back to town. Karly Wed nesday morning they started forth once more and arrived here about . Quite a number of Mrr Biggs friends were given an airing during the day. Later tlio', like all of its kind, it just stopped aud went in for repairs.
