To tell the truth. even in his love and ad-
miration for his daughter and his desire that
she should make a grand marriage, the
chance of q big advertisement for Simpsons
Soap was not forgotten. He felt that IL
would be n magnificent opportunity for
"paragraphing" the press of the world :
THE beautiful Miss Simpson. who was last
week united in marriage to His Grace the
Duke Of K~nocklands. is the only daughter
and heiress of Thomas Simpson, ESQ.,, the
chief proprietor of Simpsons Soap"
The American trade would certainly benefit
by the marriage. The feir Ameri cans would
feel that in using Simpsons Soap they were.
in a manner. shaking hands with the British
aristocracy.

WHAT w. N. c. WILL DO.
Four Tons of Timothy Hay to the
Acre.

The CITIZEN likes to brag on this
country. 1t specially likes to speak
of young farmers. We have an op-
portunity to do so now. Our W ung
friend Norman McLoud, son of our
townsman Capt. c. NJ. McLoud, is a
young farmer of whom our section
ought to be proud. He cultivates a
small tract of land, in this city. but
cultivates it for all it Is worth Col.
John Rice, one of our successful
farmers. takes the greatest delight
in assisting our young farmer
friend. Between the two we have
splendid result to give. Norman
had third acre lot which he
put in timothy on the 10th of Sep
tembef 1885, He sowed the grass
seed alone, without wheat, oats or
rye, or manure. The winter fol-
lowing he spread upon it stable
manure tproduced on the place.
The yield was very excellent. The
paet winter he gave 1t another
covering of stable manure as before.
The grass has been cut the past
week by Col. Rice, and he tells US
he got twenty.one very large shocks
which which will weigh, after being
fully dried, at least 2700 pounds.
This shows result of over four tons
to The acre. Can this be beaten in
any other section? This shows that
our young friend and Col. Rice are
very excellent farmers, and we COM
mend their experiment TO our other
farmer friends.
Norman is only fifteen years of
age and starts off well both in
farming and politics, for we see he
is member of the Young Men 5
Democratic Club of the city. Good
farming and good democracy will
make a good man of any boy.

Messrs. Hobgood and Fitzgerald
have sold to Messrs. Randolph and

Kerr has had some years experience
in the newspaper business. having
conducted successfully and satis-
tactorily paper in Harrisonhurg,
Va. We wish them success in their
new undertaking.
Mr.. Ho5good is well known in
this community and other sections
of the State in connection with
newspaper enterprises. We believe
the Sun was Mr.. Fitzgerald's first
venture il newspaper work, though
he has been for some years prin-
ter. We wish both success and
prosperity in whatever they under-
take.

MORE THAN HE COULD BEAR.
Eders Saloon Wrecked by a Couple
of Drunken Pets.

For some time past frequenters at
the Alligator Saloon, on North Main
street, have been accustomed to see
and play with a couple of bear cubs,
in which the proprietor, Mr.. Edel,
at the time aforesaid, took considers
able stock.
But the stock has deprecated, and
Sunday went off the market at
prices greatly below par-that is,
the saloon stock of fine liquors, cut
glassware, etc., etc.
Edel's faith in a bear cubs moral
and protective character has also
diminished wonderfully, and the
cause thereof is about as fol-
lows:
Sunday morning about half-past
eleven o'clock the bears escaped
from their cage, and sauntering
around the room, their eyes and at
tention was attracted tot ten gallon
keg of French brandy, which they
at once proceeded to sample !" The
sample" was all that bear could
wish, and before twelve o'clock they
were as drunk as ''lords."
And then the circus begun, q
Climbing up ON the counter, the
bears commenced throwing bottles
filled with fine liquors at each other,
and then falling to the floor, whole
raft of decanters and glassware
would come crashing after them,
caused by the terrific jar of the now
thoroughly intoxicated and pros
trate bruin. The performance was
kept up until about $3.50 worth ol
liquors, glassware, cigars and to-
bacco had been entirely ruined; and
at this junctnre Mr.. Edel arrived,
"Mine Gott in Himmel," exclaimed
the excited proprietor as he caught
a glimpse of the wreck. "Dem tam
bears has shust dis pisness ul
proke." He unlocked the door, and
calling in police officer Hampton tc
arrest the bears, said, "dem tam
bears of dis blace haf some big he'll
played ish going out of dit
peesness once at, and dem bears
dey kilt shall be pefore the western
sun RISE" Hampton and the pro.
! prietor finally got the bears in thi
cage, which had been left unlocked
the night before through negligence
on the part of the keeper, and IS Oh,
procession formed to march out o
the saloon Edei remarked with greal
earnestness, sif it was Sunday no
dem tam bears some golden step

Bingham School.

The latest catalogue of Bingham
school is received. We note that
the 219 pupils in attendance repre-
sent IA States of the Union, while
two are sons of army officers, and
two are from England. A circular
giving the impression made by the
school on Lieut.. Bachelor and
Capt. Wygant, both detailed from
U. S. Army as Tactical5 Officers, is
we'll worth the attention of parents.
We note that the Superintendent
has abandoned attending the State

than helpful. Artillery Drill is
added to the Military instruction, a
feature possessed by no other pre-
paratory school in the South. We

Prof. Steen VINO has arrived, step
ped into our editorial rooms last
night. He ast5unded the reporter
by few tests of mind reading.
The reporter wes requested to
place several numbers On a piece of
paper, while Mr.. Steen left the
room. He then said ,"reverse them"
Mr.. Steen asked no question, but
came in out of the room and gave
the full result of the sum. Then he
told the scribe to place three num-
bers down on Il piece of paper.
Steen with his back turned towards
him, tod him the one on the right,
then the ore on the left and the
center one. The best test that was
given, was the one when Mr.. Steen
told him to put down one number
again and then told him
to multiply it by any nuns
Der that the scribe might
think Of Mr.. Steen, without seeing
any of the numbers told him what
the multiplier was and gave the re-
suit. Will anyone of our readers
step in our Office and explain that I?
We cannot. We have given it up.
They are marvellous and everyone
should sec them.
Prot. SteeA also gave the billet
Test" He told the reporter to write
the name of any person upon slip

He did so, and the Professor placed
