The was quite a unusual scene in a business office yesterday and the point under discussion is yet to be settled by a referee. A bill was presented to a gentleman and after it had been re ceipted by the collector he gave his check fur the rtnumnt. The collector went ;i;iy staisiieu, but an hour later returiu-J rcqiiest-iu; the gentleman to piece a rrv. nw uimp on the check. This he uliif.-iI t- do, claiming that the collector had been satisfied with the cheek and had given him the re ceipted bill after inspecting the check. He claimed that he had done all re quired of him, and that should be sat isfactory to the other party. Tonight a referee is to decide whether the gen tleman who drew the check can be made to attach the stamp. This is an interesting question and one that many people would like to have decided in favor of the check. jentieman who drew t'.ie TOO HOT FOR HIS STOMACH. Yesterday morning the billy goat owned by Master Pete Harris played havoc in the yard of Mr. J. C. L. Har ris. After eating all of the roses in the yard the goat proceeded to devour the thorns, consuming the News and 'b- server and the Morning Post. A young "lil'tV Ifft1 'IllLlr? tP compliment our ruibTTi lication remarked that it was fortunate that the goat didn't eat the Times-Visitor, for he would have then found a hot number something entirely too warm for him. HOBSON'S GRANDMOTHER. Remembered by a Comeaerate Sol v - . - dier En Route Home. Rockingham Rocket. . - Reading of the late daring feat of Lieutenant Hobson, I am reminded or an Incident in my own experience a ; few days after the surrender of Gen-! ; enu u;e di Appomattox, notning thrill-; ' ?S,? tomy1 but illustrative of the grit that seems to have descended ; lu iuii mcaauie iu me joung neutenanv themselves, and that the officers could whose name is now in everybody's not give them any sode to prove that mouth. I was passing homeward, at- champagne was prohibited. And they companied by my friend and comrade ! were right. There is a law that whis Bob Leak, in the wake of Stoneman's kv and brandv should not be measured MiU. AUG ucuuic Ul i i.U W il 1 1 Mllii I I Ulli know what that raid was. So vague nuu uncertain were tne reports touch- ing ijees surrender that had preceded) us, Bob and I were the subjects of i: us-1 picion as we rode through the town of . uuuuviue in tne late aiternoon of a, ui wearisome travel, in the ab- Bence of a nroffer of hnsnitalitv nn iho - - ' v.. ...V.VCUfc part of any one, we accosted a gen- Ocean steamships, with their cabins tleman on the street corner for in- de luxe given over to naval officers and formation and direction as to where manned by millionaires, are a feature we might lodge ourselves and horses of modern warfare that savors of the ior tne mgnt. Evidently, anywbere iartner on seemed to suit the gen- ucuuw b yuiyuse, u not our own, out ; no nuggemea inciaeniaiiy mat six miles y below there Mrs. Ann Hobson lived, who, by the way, was a great friend to . Confederate soldiers. With the latter : wv.vv...vv.waa a v auj 1111 IJL COOCU U UUU our minds, we rode just at evening twi light boldly into the spacious grove tnat fronted the beautifully-embower - ed mansion, as a background. . "Bee, Bob, they're coming to meet and welcome us," I said, as a move ment from the house to the yard gate strucK our anxious vision. That "move ment," as I recall, consisted of an old , lady, one, or perhaps two, younger la dies, several children, and a lot of dar fkies of various sizes. Intensely hlgh wrought excitement sat upon each face In that group at the gate, which by no means was dispelled by our polite gooa evening" as we rode up, "And who are you?" queried the old iaay, witn flashing eyes, at once sug gestive of a wrath that needed no nurs ing "to keep It warm. "We are Confederate soldiers," was the quick response. "O, yes," came back at us with re newed vehemence "you think to palm yourselves off as Confederate soldiers, but you are miserable Yankees; that's what you are"-- and before we could particularize the statement that . "we left Lee's army last Sunday, after the surrender,"; etc., she hed called "Hen ry," at the top of her voice, whom at the same instant we - saw ' mounted, and dashing for us at a gallop, accom panied by another horseman, both firm. ed and ready for the emergency,-. The! aiaiogue not trlalogue, for Bob" hud put me forward to do the talking) that immediately followed, partook of the nature of "rapid firing." I proceeded to establish our credentials, and' that quick. After an energetio recapitula tion of what 1 had started to tell the old lady, as to the division, brigade and regiment to which we had belonged In Lee's army -t "Why mother," exclaimed her son, I Henry, "these boys are all right, for find that while I was a member of Bar i ringer's brigade, they belonged to Rob j erts's Brigade in the same division of cavalry. I So the sequel proved that Henry having just returned from the army. and being engaged in company with his companion, a yotmg Mr. Ford, in scour ing the neighborhood that afternoon in search of vagrant Yankees who might have been left behind by Stoneman raid of the day before, was a "friend indeed" to two quondam troopers worse scared at that critical moment than when they confronted a line of battle within two hundred yards, at Appo mattox on the Sunday morning of Lee surrender. Need it be said that the grandmother and uncle of Lieutenant Hobson, of "Merrimac" fame, were prompt enough to make the "amende honorable" to Bob and myself, when the truth was known? It were putting it only mildly to say that the kind old lady showered blessings on our heads, and if the "fat ted calf" was not literally in evidence the cake and wine and other things were, and but for Bob's Impatient long ing to push "on to Richmond" (that is Richmond county) I should have stop ped a .week right there, as Mrs. Hob son and her family wished us to do After our preliminary experience, which served to make more lustrous the sub ; sequent Unidly treatment, we were ! prepared to believe implicity the nar- ! ration, by some of the family, of Mrs. Hobson s encounters with Stonernan's ibunimeis, who had recently visited her i premises, and several of whom she had i ImrlO'.l from the door steps of her de '. lishtful home. It may well be our pride, Mr. Editor, ' that Lieutenant Hobson's ancestral "srit" is the inheritance of "the Old ! North State." The now aged grand j mother still lives, but she is blind, and i is calmly awaiting her summons to the ' "crossing of the Bar." She is an aunt of the late Major J. M. Scales, of our town, neinq a sister of Governor More i hand, and is, therefore, a great aunt of our townsman. Mr. Walter L. Scales, and Mrs. Hal Ledbetter. Lieutenant Hobson's father. Judge James M. Hob- son, was a eollesemate at Chapel Hill "f Dr. J. II. Covington. Captain W. I Everett, and the undersigned, of Rock ingham, and Messrs. J. C. Marshall and J. M. Wall, of Wadesboro. H. C. WALL, Rockingham, N. C. RICH MARINES HEAVE COAL. But nt Mess They Drink Oampagne ami Officers go Dry-. Fim the New York Press. Our Naval Reserves are working like heavers, and, be it to their credit they complain little in spite of the constant hard work. Some poor fel lows have broken down under the in cessant toil, and in one instance ihe Surveon of the ship had to write to the boy's parents to have him taken off at once, as he could not possibly live. Afier great difficulty a discharge was obtained for him, but the plucky fel low was nearly heart-broken over his failuie, xir.d would not leave until told he could never be v. ell if he did not. The coaling is the hard work, and some of the big ships, like the Min neapolis, seem as though they never could get conl ;i"ugh. One young bov who enlisted before the mast, and eveiy luxury ho was brought up to says every time the Minneapolis poshes forward she opens erent hi;n:rv itetve that eti n npvpr be satisik-.J. ' He works four hours a time, then rests four; again to time, then rests four; again work, and so on through all the whole twenty-four hours. Some of the Western reserves lead a strange life. On one of the big ships (name withheld for good reason) the crew is composed almost entirely of millionnaires. The officers are all reg i ulars in the navy men who have seen i hard service, and who believe that every man should do his duty and they put their crew through all the daily routine of washing down the decks and every conceivable kind of l menial duty. However, the officers have nothing but praise for the men, But the amusing part of it all is that i when the are at mess they have all the champagne they want the men not the officers, be it understood, It seems like a scene from comic opera that this should be allowed, but these marines said they would provide it for nut tA tha src-iw rut nil rnl if narrnw Va 'fore was there a crew who furnished their own champagne. The Western reserves are said to be a superb looking lot of men, strong physically and mentally, who find no fault with any orders given them and will, their officers say, make magnifl picturesque, but the millionaire mid dies intend to show what they can do, and we w'ill await results.
