A Lad and a Ladder.

A pretty story is told of Admiral
Sir Edward Inglefield, now com
mander of the North American squad
ron, to the effect that when a young
officer he had the luck on one occasion,
to be particularly handy in assisting
her Majesty down a ship ladder. The
Queen took fancy to the young fcl-
low, inquired his name, and then said:
"You have helped me down the ladder;
l must try and help you up it. If you
need my special aid, let me know"
Years went by, and the Admiral was
too smart an officer to need ADVENT
tious assistance, but at length he
found himself in hobble, since. un-
der certain admiralty regulations he
would be compelled, in the ordinary
course of events, to accept a rank
which probably would practically
"shelve him. At this juncture he
found means to remind the Queen of
the ladder episode .Ier Majesty. who
never forgets her friends or their faces,
was as good as her word. and the ad-
miral, by being sent out to Washing
ton as naval attache, cOntrived, un-
der the limitation eXelnpting from the
rule officers on special service, to gain
his desired object.

Our Agricultural Society

! lhe good effects OF good manage
nrnt have never III any instance been
more thoroughly evidenced than in the
history of the Roanoke and Tar River
Agricultural Society. Since Its or
ganlZatlon 1t has steadily increased in
prosperity until now in the 9th year Of
It's existence, after paying out nearly
$4,000 tor property and about $10, 900
annually for premiums, it is entirely
out of debt and has thousand dollars
in the treasury.
This single fact speaks volumes for
the manner in which the affairs of the
society have been managed. but good
as this management has undoubtedly
been. it is not due alone to this that
the Society has been so wonderfully
and continuously successful. The
ease and convenience with which
Weldon can be reached from all quar-
terS of the habitable globe has not been
without its effect. Large numbers of
people have been originally brought to
Weldon by its ease of access and the
chaapness OF the rates on the railroads.
and when one once attends one Of the
Weldon Fairs he or she is certain to
come again, attracted by the merits of
the Fair itself.
The coming Fair Of this Society.
which takes place this year on the last
three DAYS of October and first OF No
vember bids fair to be the most sue
cessful and attractive ever held under
It's auspices. The premium list en-
braces every article Imaginable. The
premiums are much larger than tn )se
offered by any other society. i h 5e
are all money premiums.
They are paid on presentation, with
out drawb back, reserve or grumbling.
These are reasons why exhibitors
should send their wares to Weldon
Another fact, which commends this
Fair to exhibitors from abroad, is that
it is held in the midst of and is attend
ed by the people Of the richest farm
ing country of the State. Former
ehibitors have found tlis to account
We have been informed that every
steam engine ever exhibited at the
Weldon Fair has been sold before
leaving the grounds and from own
knowledge we are inclined to think this
is true. For reason why those who
attend Fairs for pleasure should come
we will simply say that the racing,
dancing and flirting will be of the
finest possible kind. The girls will be
beautiful, the boys gallant and things
will go on SO merrlIy, as to lead to
marriage bells. And SO come to our

4 Letter From Memphis.
Concord Register.)

The following letter was received a
few days ago uy Mrs. S. S. Dcaton Of
this town, from her sister, Fannie
Dryden of Memphis, Tenn. 1t is a
heart sickening picture of the awful
ness, of the yellow malignity, in that
pestilence stricken city. Mr. Dryden
is gentleman in comfortable circum-
stances, and, in healthy times, his
family are good livers. If such as
they are in the condition described in
this letter now, what must be the state
Of the extreme poor.
Memphis, Tenn. Sep. 18th 1873.
DEAR SISTER. - We arc 1.5w
living six miles from town, out
in the woods. We left tow n one
month ago lay, fleeing from
the death scourge. yellow fever. |
never saw anything like it, such ap
pauling distress. $4,000 people are
camping IN the woods around the city
in negro cabins, tents and brush ar
borS, but the destroyer, like a famiSh-
ed tiger, is following. One family
came to the house where we were and
in three days all were taken with the
fever, we could do nothing for them
till the husband died, then our own
safety compelled us to seek another
staving place We are now living in a
cabin with three families 13 III one
room, six of the crowd are men, We
have to pay $1l.00 month for
such quarters as this and glad to get
it. Every store is closed, you can't
buy yard Of calico in Memphis, and
very little to eat at a famine price.
We will be out of money soon, and
then, the Lold help us, we Will have
to stay here yet two months.
The fever is still raging, 165 deaths
in 4S hours, many die and are buried
of which no record is made. Men die
and their wives have to dress them for
burial. \ lady died on Saturday, her
husband fled, and her poor father had
to bury her. Some white families have
died without attention and after lay
ing three or four days We're buried as
they died.
Last Saturday Mr.. Dryden wen to
the railroad, and saw car full of Or
phan children from infants to the age
of seven, taking them to Nashville for
refuge. We left everything in our
house in the city and don't know that
we will have anything when we go
back. Thousands are completely
broken up-think of it-thousands
camping, sleeping on the moor, uolnS
nothing but seeking for something to
cook, eat, and wander around like
stray dogs. About =, 900 are down sick
now. They are burning large fires OF
wood and coal with sulphur in the
streets every night and burn every bed
the people die on. You have no idea
what an awfully distressed city it is,
nothing to be seen but hearses loaded
I, Ia Or
to the cemetery, and Wagons going
through the streets getting up the C
tins. As fast as the unfortunate die
they are buried 1t is fearf Il scourge,
Thus far We are we'll, but heave
knows how long we shall be exempt
from the terrible destroyer.

Three Glorious Little Girls

There was a very pretty little scene
enacted at the Southern Police Station
to-day. Three little girls = Louise
Niedharlt. Mamie Girefe. and Amelia
Offender conceived the idea Of con
tributing something for the benefit Of
the yellow fever sufferers. Their net
capital at the outset was two cents.
This, Of course, could Do very little
good. but they soon found way to
increase the amount, and By great
perseverance, not however, unmixed
with pleasure they at last succeeded
in raising $3.50. The two cents with
which they began was invested in can
dies. and then table was procured,
covered neatly with cloth. and the
wares exposed for sale. The neigh
bors. seeing the persistence with
which they laboured, went to work
and helped them with viii. All sorts

A Terrible Storm.

The most severe rain storm that has
ever visited this section was that of
Thursdy last. Every stream in this
section overf1owed, and in several di-
rections travel was almost completely
stopped. Several bridges in the county
were washed away. Colonel Dickson's
MILL on Mulberry, was carried off by
high water. The roads through the
county We're in many places impa ssa-
bic, and for few miles beyond Pat
terson the damage is SO great that 1t is
said it will take at least one thousand
dollars to put the road in order again.
At Patterson the Mills Of Messrs.
Gwyn, Harper & Co.. were damaged
to the extent of from five hundred to a
thousand dollars. Repairs have com
menced, and the mills will be in OPP
eratien again in about three weeks.
Many farmers report that nearly all
their fodder and much corn has been
destroyed.
In WatauSa county much damage
was done, and immense quantities of
provender destroyed.
We have heard of no serious acci-
dents to persons, but several narrow
escapes. A phaton, containing Bishop
Atkinson and a driver, turned over IN
attempting to cross branch near Mr..
Ed Jones. The Bishop was thrown in
water about four feet deep, but we are
glad to say, received no I'M uries.
About twenty feet of the famous
Linville Falls was washed away, and
we learn that break was made in a
mountain near here. and a stream of
considerable size flowed down the
mountain side.
