I To be angry is to avenge the
' thoughts of others on ourselves.
DIED ON HIS WAGON.
Dr. J. W. Tribble Found Dead Near
Wakefield.
On last Friday, Dr. J. W. Trib
ble, of South Carolina, was found
on his wagon at a point in a road
near Wakefield in a dying condi
tion. Dr. Tribble was traveling for a St.
Louis Company who manufacture
veterinary remedies, he selling to
merchants.
He passed the place of a Mr.
Wiggs near Wakefield and was found
lying in his wagon by the roadside
a little later. The horses had stop
ped, when he was stricken with some
fatal disease.
A physician was sent for, but his
life could not be saved. The re
mains were brought to Raleigh that
night and embalmed and held until
relatives came from South Carolina.
The man had $80.44 in his pockets,
and letters by which he was identi
fied. Blood was running from his
mouth when he was found, but there
is no suspicion of foul play, he prob
ably having died from heart trouble.
Fined For Assault.

Henry Harris with a stick one night
last week on East Martin street, was
fined $28.55 in Justice Badger's
court Friday. The fine was paid.
Handsome Drug Store.
Among the many handsome re
modelled stores on Fayetteville
Street, probably none will excell the
remarkable change that has recently
been wrought in the drug store of
Mayor Jas. I. Johnson, corner of
Martin and Fayetteville Streets.
Beautiful metal ceiling overhead
and the artistic brush have brought
about the changes, and Mr. Johnson
now has a drug store that will com
pare favorably with any store in the
State.; :;;'.
Perry & Rosenthal.
Messrs. Perry & Rosenthal, one of
our most progressive and aggressive
business firms, have removed their
shoe stock from the Carolina Trust
Building to their new store at 119
Fayetteville Street.
The store has been so completely
remodelled that it is practically a
new building. The floor was lowered,
new front of plate glass, metal and
pressed brick put in. Overhead green
metal ceiling, very handsome in de
sign, has been placed. The! new
store is forty per cent larger than
the former stand.
The front show windows are finish
ed in marble with brass trimmings,
"Perry & Rosenthal" being cut into
the marble with gold lettering. As
a whole, the store is hardly equalled
in the State so far as elegance of
finish is concerned.
Mayonnaise Dressing.
The important thing in compound
ing a mayonnaise is to have all in
gredients and utensils at the same
temperature, whether chilled or mod
erately cold, the ingredients in per
fect condition, and the proper pro
portion of oil one pint to the yolks
of two raw eggs. Season the eggs
with a saltspoonf ul of salt and a tiny
pinch of pepper, and beat with a
wooden or silver fork until it thick
ens ; add one teaspoonf ul of vinegar,
beat thoroughly, then slowly add a
little of the oil, beating vigorously
all the time. Add a few drops of
vinegar (until not over two table
spoonfuls have been used altogether),
alternating with the oil until the
dressing is like a smooth, thick
cream. Keep in covered glasses in
the refrigerator. Should the yolks
of the eggs not thicken before the
other ingredients are added, discard
them and beat up others. There is
no danger of curdling if the eggs
are very fresh and the oil be added
very slowly.
The Disagreeable Guest.
"Mirandas visits always sort of
make me think of mosquitoes," said
Aunt Hannah, thoughtfully, when the
guest of the day had departed. "She
always buzzes on you just as cheerful
and, social like, takes her bite of
whatever you have to offer, and goes
singing on her way as if she had done
her duty ; but you find you have a
dozen stinging, burning, uncomfort
able spots left as a reminder of your
hospitality. Your receipt for pickles
isn't noways equal to Mrs. Smith's,
you've been cheated in your new oar
lor carpet, your fall hat isn't very
becoming after all, and hardly any of
your friends are as good as you have
thought 'em. There's a drop of
poison most everywhere she happen
ed to light nothing but little bites
but they burn and sting, and upset
all your comfort. It does seem as if
mosquitoes ought to have a monopoly
of that kind of business without hu
man beings taking it up." Forward.
