The porch aae of tbe house and lot ad

Tbe construction of a suitable build

The cemetery now has for the first time
la its history a receiving vault owned
by the city, this being secured without
any cask outlay, a cemetery lot being
exchanged for it.
We have last completed the placing of
one hundred tons of live marl open the

condition of the avenues and walks. We

A DODDLE KNOCKOUT.
Heroic Self Defense of a Popular Young
Hew Bern Man.
MR Tom Roberts had an exciting ex-,
perienoe a few days ago while a passen
ger on the A. ft N. O. train bound for
Morehead. He was talking with a couple
of gentlemen seated With him and across
the aisle were two men, brothers, who
were evidently under the Influence of
liquor and were Itching for trouble. The
younger one of them singled out Mr.
Roberts aa one who had made a slight
fng remark about them and told the
older one thai the man In the gray suit,
meaning Mr. Roberts, was talking about
them. '
The older man asked Mr. Roberts If
he had been saying anything about them
and he replied that he had not, which
seemed to satisfy him. The younger one
however seemed determined to get Into
a scrap and kept Inciting his brother to
a row. .
At the first or second stop beyond
Newport Mr. Roberts noticed. that they
had left the car but presently they re
turned one of them holding a brick. He
was heard to say "I'll fix him, him.'
Mr. Roberts saw there was but one thing
to do and that It was best to be done
quickly. Without any preliminary talk
Mr. Roberts pushed out his strong right
arm and hit the man with the brick and
knocked him flat. Then the brother
jumped Into our pugilistic friend and he
was given the ssme kind of punishment
only when he went down his head wenl
through the car window. By this time
the first man down had recovered him-,
self end for fear that he might again at
tempt to make a scene Mr. Roberts
pusLed him back so that he stood on the
car platform.
The men, though breathing threaten-
ings against Mr. Roberts heeded the ad
vice of their friends and ceased hostili
ties'. They were put off the train.
Mr. Roberts suffered very little from
tbe little encounter and .received de
served praise for his plucky defense.
They would probably have assaulted
and Injured him seriously had. lt not
been for his quick and vigorous blows.
Letter to P H Pelletier.
New Bern, N C.
Dear Sir: Ton are a maker; so are we.
You know what you make; you know all
about It. We know our paint as yon
know your goods.
We know what It is, how it actB, what
It does, how It lives, and how long the
conditions being favorable or unfavora
ble.
It Is fslr that we take the risk of It
every way; but we ought not to risk any
use or abuse of It.
Can't draw the line. We are dealing
with strangers. We are strangers to them
as they are strangers to us.
We want to be trusted by them. We
trust them first; that's the way to get
trusted. We trust them to paint with a
fair degree of common paint-knowledge
and care. We expect to be trusted to fur
nlsh pslnt as good as paint can be, and
to last as long ai paint can.
If you do your business that way, you
are a fellow with us and one of a thous
and.
A few mean men la the course of s
year will abuse our trust and put us
loss; but 999 In 1,000 wlU tell their
friends how true we are, and our palat
is. That's what has made sis tbe largest
paint concern lathe world. It (soar
best advertisement.
