Trouble. j Last week we printed the following squib: j "A lady here wants to know wheth er It is true that kissing will cure freckles. We cannot say positively, but a simple remedy ljke that is worth trying. Call during business hours. Our bald-headed editor with the brindle beard or our red headed printer will either one attend to the ease." We did not think at the time the little pleasantry would oause trouble, but it came near stampeding the offlee. Now we did not think to say that only females could be aoeomuio dated, so before the ink was hardly dry on the paper, in walked a scraw ny looking specimen of humanity, of male persuasion, with dark ohooolate colored freckles crowding each other all over bis physignomy and insisted Qn treatment insUnter. The bald headed editor went out at the back door and hid in an empty coffin In Keever's shop, while the red-headed printer, used his eloquenoe and great mental power in persuading the ap plicant to call some time when our lady typo is at the case. We see now however, that we have made a seri ous mistake for the office force is seri ously dtocencerted, but we trust by working Clarence Heffner and Clar ence Hoke over-time and training our office dog, Rex, to ohace freckled men. who are not handsome, out of the shop, to bridge over the trouble. We find further that other persons, who are not connected with news paper work, are willing to apply the remedy, if the subject Is a pretty girl. A well known carpenter met us on the street and in a threatening manner, insisted that no little weekly newspaper may delegate to itself the exclusive use of this remedy and said be was preparing to secure a list of testimonials as to its efilcacy, so with the hope of getting his testimonials to print, we agreed to take him into the compact. Therefore anyone who thinks the Nkws force could not produce tlie desired results are re quested to call on Mr. R. H. Hols claw any time from a. m. in the morning until p. in. in the evening.

Glenn, of North Carolina, was on a recent speaking tour of New England, he addressed a large crowd at Concord, New Hampshire. He was speaking of the relations between the races in North Carolina, of bis feelings toward the negro, as Governor and as citiren, and told this personal in cident: "When the war began, there was a citiren of our State, who had can vassed the section for the Union and had voted against secession, but when President Lincoln called for troops, demanding of North Carolina her quota, to march against our sis ter States our own kith and kin this citizen, like all other good and true men of the south, decided to stand with his own section and rela tions, and volunteered among the first to maintain what they deemed right, and to stand between the South and her advancing foes. "This man became captain of Com pany I, 13th Regiment, North Caro lina Vglunteers, and, leaving behind him his wife and three little boys, withjhls faithful body servant, Matt, he marched to the front in defense of his .country. On the momiug of Sept. 14, 1802, just before the coni inenoemeut of the battle of South Mountain, Maryland, this captain called his servant to his side and said: 'Matt. I have a presentiment that I shall be killed today. Here is a letter to your mistress with three hundred and ninety dollars, and my watch and jewels. Watch me during tho battle and when you see me fall, bury my body, and then go home and give those things to your mis tress, and take upon yourself the sacred duty I now give you, of watch ing over my little boys.' All day long as the battle raged, from behind rooks, crags and fences, faith ful Matt watched his beloved master. "Late in the afternoon, just as the sun was sinking, he saw bis mas ter fall in the very forefront of the fight. Undmindful of danger to him self, he rushed to his master's side and took his head on his breast, on ly to receive a sweet, sad smile, as the wounded man's eyes closed in death. "With the aid of privates Matt laid the body to rest, digging a grave with bayonets. No coffin incased the soldier, save his mantle wrapped around him by loving hands, no monument uiarkea his grave, save the towering monument of Houth Mountain, casting its shadows over the spot. Then Matt commenced his homeward journey. Footsore and weary, fordiug and wading rivers begging bread for he would not soend a cent from the sum with which his master had entrusted him he tramped hundred of miles, and gave the lotter, watch, money and all to his heartbroken, and then took upon himself the care of those three little boys, over whom he faithfully watched until eight months after wards, when he died. "My friends and countrymen, that captain was my father. I was one of the little bovs over whom Uncle Matt watched. As the Governor of North Carolina, could 1 be unkind to the race to which Matt belonged?"' Kxchange.
