' Yesterday a well dressed strang er; walked into the. Journal office and meandered over to the Cub Reporter's deskv "Is this the manager?" ie enquired. "No, sir,,r replied the Cub. "He's not in just at "present. Is there any thing1 I can do for you?" "Well, no," replied the stranger, "but just hand him my card when he returns and tell him that I will see him later." Following these remarks the Cub found himself in possession of a large lima bean on one side of which were the letters "F. H." "Card nothing," said the Cub. "Tliis isn't a card its an insult. Do you think that this is a men agerie and that you're feeding the animals?"" "We should wor ry," said the stranger, "just turn the s current on your thinking b.ox and assimilate my remarks also get next . to the bean. "After--careful meditation for a few moments a light began to dawA upon the Cub. "Ah!" he cried, "I get you. Your name is Bean F. C. Bean." The Cub Reporter was right. Mr. Bean, whose home is in Los Angeles, Cal.,"is representing the S. A; Cook Company, of Medina, N. Y.," who are cigar jnanufact urers and covers almost the en tire' United States. He hit upon the (novelty of the bean bearing his initials as a business card and it has been creating a furroe all across the country. Mr. Bean and hi9 wife, who is accompanying him on this trip, will be in New Bern for a day-or two., !ED FOR WILL BE HELD IN LECTURE ROOM OF PRE&BYTER-;-v IAN CHURCH.. iThe program for the Musicale to be, given" in the Presbyterian Lecture room, Wednesday even ing, Feb.

SMALL FARMS SOLD Local Realty Company Con ducted This Success ful Sale. Thirty dollars an acre was paid yesterday for a number of small fatms located near Reelsboro, ia Pamlico county, and it is not probable that the owners of this property would today sell their holdings for forty dollars per acre because they know that this land is some of the most fertile to be found in Eastern North Carolina This property was sold bv the East Carolina Reakv and Auc tion Company, of this city, of which I). E. Henderson, a well known local attorney, is at the head. The auctioneering was done by J. Leon Williams of New Bern and G. M. Henderson of Kinston, and to hear these two men sell land is worth a trip to any of the sales which they conduct. These farms had been cut up from the I. V. Holton plantation which was one of the largest in the county. The attendance at the sale was very gratifying a large number going down from New Bern and the remainder from all over Pamlico county There was not the least delay in the sale and the last one of the farms had been disposed of with in a short time. The Atlantic ("oast Realty and Auction Company is a new con cern, but it bids fair to become one of the greatest companies of its kind in the State. Their offices are located in the Daniels building at Nos. 64 and 66 South Front street and thev have already planned for several sales in the near tuture and are nego tiating with several other parties relative to conducting oilier sales for them. During the past two vears a number of suburban sections a round New Bern have been opened up and while there may be only a few other sections of this variety opened up around the city, other towns in this section are planing improvements and the sale of land at these places is contemplated. Also a number of large farms in this section are to be cut up into smaller farms and placed on the market and the company is making nego tiations to handle these sales. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE ATHENS CAFE. Raftellis Borthers, proprietors of the Athens Cafe, are making a number of improvements at their place of business on Pollock street. The walls have been re- , papered, all of the wood-work re painted and the place has been thoroughly renovated and the interior appearance has been greatly enhanced.
