leased out for 80 years to the Williams,
Bonds, Pughs, Moons, Thompsons, Ruffens
and many others, and by their Agent, Gen.
jeremiah Slade of Martin county. one
among the many distinguished men of
Eastern Carolina, all able lawyer and good
farmer, received their rents, and had all
their business transacted by him. The
rents was paid in specie-gold and silver,
and whenever a delegation would come.

they sometimes returned in a vessel from
Plymouth to New York.
When the last of the tribe took their de-
parture from Carolina, they left with their
agent, a small Indian boy named Jack
Cain-for what purpose | do not know, un-
less it was to show that they still had a
claim to the land This boy lived in the
family of Gen. Slade-was sent to school
and educated. went to school with him
at Mount Pleasant Academy in Martin
county,, and have fshed with him often.
Whatever became of him after he arrived
at manhood, | am not able to say-but have
heard that he turned out badly-married
and perhaps was killed.
Some few years before the lease expired.
the lessees were DESTROYS to have the land
sold. This was done. They became the
purchasers and obtained a fee simple title.
When the last delegation, consisting of the
Chief Guichue and two others, came to
their agent. all matters were arranged, a
full settlement was made, they received
their paw, bid adieu to the agent and family
and Carolina, and left for their homes, and
this was the last of the Tuskarora tribe.
The white man owns the land. There are
only two other persons in my memory, liv-

they are Rev. Thomas B. Slade. of Column

New Garden Grange, 159, GulltOrd
County.

We dedicated this new hall Friday, June
o>+b The officers and members arrived
punctuallv, also a crowd of visiting mem
hers from other Oranges in the county.
The eremon was public, and notwith-
standing the great heat there was a large at
tendance who listened with great interest
TO the solemn and beautiful service. Our
officers discharged their duty in a most
creditable manner. Ceres, pomona, Flora,
and also the Chaplain (who was a lady
member) displayed their fine colours to the
hest advantage, reading their part clearly
with good effect. The Defeating Officer,
DIR w. G. Benbow. Of Greensboro, was
worthy of high COMMUNICATION for the I'M
nressive manner in which he fulfilled his
important position An organ was lent
bv Bro. Dundas. which was a great I'M
provcment. helping the singing, and added
much to the enjoyment OF the occasion.
At the close of the dedication an address
was delivered 10y Bro. Ball, of Greensboro,
and it is to he hoped many of his remarks
will long be remembered; after winch
there was a public dinner. The extensive
board was we'll spread with all that could

WORTH RESPONSIBILITIES fish may be
scaled much easier by first dipping into
boiling water a minute. That salt fish are
quickest and best freshened by soaking in
sour milk. That salt will curdle new milk;
hence in preparing milk porridge, gravies,
etc, the salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared. That fresh meat begin
png to sour will sweeten if placed out of
doors in the cool air over night. That
clear boiling water will remove tea stains
and many fruit stains. Pour the water
through the stain and thus prevent it
spreading over the fabric. That boiling
starch is much improved by the addition OF
sperm or salt, or both, ora little gum arabic
dissolved. That beeswaX and salt will make
your rusty fiat irons as clean and smooth as
glass. Tie a lump of wax in "A ragand keep
it for that purpose. When the irons are
hot, rub them first with the wax rag, then
scour with a paper or cloth sprinkled with
salt. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions, and applied to
bedsteaGs. is an unfailing bug remedy, and
that a coat of whitewash is ditto foT the
walls of a log house. That kerosene will
make your tea kettle as bright as new.
Saturate a wooden rag and rub it. 1t will
also remove stains from the clean vanished
furniture. That cold rain water and soap
Will remove machine grease from washable
fabrics.

Facts for Farmers

We are assured by the writer of the fol-

an VI: ID. by profession, that the facts herein

German millet may still be s0wn, but
peas are preferable at this late period Of the
summer. For the former to succeed now,
the land should be unusually rich.
Ground peas.-Continue TO place loose
dirt under the ends of the spreading branch
es, but not on top of them, as IS done by
many.
Upland rice, if the rows are wide enough,
may have a light sweeping, tie hoes follow
ing and removing every spear OF grass ana
every weed which may be present. Alter
this, it will be able to take care ct itself.
Look ahead now and perfect your plans
for full crors-turnips, oats, barley, rye,

for them whenever rains permit, so as to
get them in good filth by seeding time.

box should be covered inside and out with
a pretty color in silk or wooden material.
The iii should have the rim taken oft, and
aud, when covered, should lie fastened by
overcast stitches to the lower part. Cover
all with a putting of Swiss muslin, edged
with lace or bright zenhyr. The cover OF
the top of the lid should be filled with some
material that will allow thepins to be stuck
in easily; "combings" are available Tor
this use.

SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR WARTs.-1. Take
cobweb; roll it in a pill the size OF the
wart. Take a match and light the cobweb
Dill. It will burn clear ike charcoal.
When the pill is consumed the wart can be
picked out with the finger.
, Take good indigo and soak it in water
pare away the surface Of the wart SO as to
cause the blood TO blood to flow wipe of
the blood and drop the indigo water upon
it. Very large ones may require a second
application. The indigo produces no pain.
3. One of our deighbors had his horses
nose covered with small warts, and tried
many different means to remove them, but
could not do so. until some one said to him,
why don't YOU use treacle = This was
tried. and the warts, after being dressed a
verv few times, were completely removed in
a few weeks.
4. Take ashes made from burnt will bark,
mix with sweet cider, and they will disap-
pear.
5. Use a streng solution Of alum several
times a dav. and let it dry on. If that does
not cure. use sal soda in the same way.
6. Lunar ~ca1stic, carefully applied 80 as
not to touch the skin, will surely destroy
warts.
:. Oil of cinnamon, dropped on the warts
three or four times a day, will cause their
disappearance however hard, large or dense
thew may be. The application gives rise tc
neither pain nor suppuratlon, and IS q
pleasant perfume.

New YoRK. July "A frightful acct
dent occurred on the Metropolitan Elevated
Railroad, shortly after one O'Clock this
morning. The regular up trains had stop
ped running at that time, and several track
men on a hand-car started down the east
side track to make some needed repairs.
When the Franklin street station was
reached they discovered an engine with
some new cars coming up the road. Davis
Stadlev. one of the Oldest employees on the
road. volunteered to get off and warn the
approaching train, when he was struck by
the regular south bound train. HIS body
was mangled in a horrible manner; one OF
his legs was cut off and remained on the
track, while his body was thrown into the
street. Death was instanteous.

JUDGE Dick on THE HOMESTEAD IN
BANKRUPTCY.-At the late term of the
United States Court IN Greensboro, the
question of the right Of an old creditor,
or a judgment creditor on an odd debt,
to have the homestead sold in bankruptcy,
has been finally settled by Judge Dick.
Judge Dick holds that where the home
stead has been laid off IN bankruptcy, and
no exception taken by the creditor within
twenty days, the question is finally adjudi-
Gated and cannot be opened. Therefore
there are no homesteads in North Carolina
against Old debts except those laid of IN
bankruptcy. The following is Judge Dick ;
opinion:
After reading the briefs of counsel and
the opinion of the Register, | have given
these cases the most careful consideration.
"Whiie on the Supreme Court Bench of
this State | concurred in the eecision of Hill
! IS. k%essler, 63 Y. G. r. r., 437, az regard
ed the principles of law announced IN that
case as founded in reason, justified and au-
thorcty: and | have heretofore observed
that decision III determining eases IN this
court. As that decision has been overruied
in the cases = In re Deckert, 10, b. X. !
Edwards IS. kearsey, 6 Otto 590-Eargle x
Co. u. Hardie, SO \. G. r. r, | feel
bound to recognize and observe these decis-
ions as the law of the land.
From these cases it appears that the
homestead provision in the Constitution Of
North Carolina, article \, section >, cannot
be made available against debts contracted
previous to the adoption Of said Constitu-
tod in 1868.
"Where homesteads have been duly as
signed and confirmed in bankruptcy pro
ceedingS. | am inclined to think that such
aGiudicated homestead rights will be recog-
nized and secured BY the courts. NORTH
