State, says: "The Columbia State has enlarged from a six to a seven-column eight-page paper, and we give our compliments to the Goi zales brothers. The State is a paper of force and ability, and has the news. Thelate Capt. Thos. O. Evans, who was easily the most original news paper that this State has produced, had as one of 'his ventures a little paper called Evan's Independent, which he established at Raleigh and which was not greatly larger than a pocket hand kerchief. One of his friends met him on the street one day and said: 'Evans, I am glad your paper is no larger, because it is just so good that if there were any more of it, I would nevor be able to stand it in the world.' We don't know how its readers are going to stand a larger State." AGood Report.

Last night, by vote of the church, Rev. Thos O Needham, evangelist, was invited to hold a series of meetings with the Tabernacle church during the month of November.

The Greensboro Record ays: There are eo many tharp fellows all over the country that they never run out of some schemes to make money. Often in reading what they say in their circulars one is not able, at first, to see what is their ob ject, or how they are to make anything out of it; but it is there all the same and the man who bites soon loams what it is..'. The latest are circulars scattered around Greensboro, telling what fabu lous price good colored cooks can get in New York from $30 to $40 per month. Inasmuch as $5,to $3 a month is what the average woman receives down this way, it is easy to see what an induce in 3D t it ia to pull up stakes and start for that place. It is also urged upon any who arj going not to stop over in Balti more, no matter what inducements are offered, but to push on to New York. A number cf well to-do cooks in Greensboro are preparing to go, but wheu the average cook in Greensboro gets even $25 a month and her board, i we prepare to soil cut the Record and I si art for the big city.

After the formalde hyde gas has been blown into the car, a bottlo of yellow fluid is thrown in as soon as the doers are opened. This is done to destroy the odor of the gas. A gentleman standing by the other day just before the fluid was thrown in asked one of the attendant darkies what it was. . "Dat," said the negro, who wanted to appear entirely familiar with the process of disinfection, "dat's ter disavow de smell uv de family hide gast yer know; hit kills de bugs and den dey got to git somethln' ter kill hit" ... yJ For Barber Shop. .
