A NORTH CAROLINA FaOLIC.
A Little Compulsion Forced the in-
In at the kissing Bee.

Back in the North Carolina mountains
the students lof customs may still find
material for research. The most UNIQUE
are the kissing games which cling to the
soil. A lot of big.limbed, buxom girls
gather and select one of their number as
master of ceremonies. He takes his
station in the center of the room while
the rest pair of and parade around him
Suddenly one young woman will throw
up her hands and say, I'm a-pinin'."
The master Of ceremonies takes it up
and the following dialogue and interlocu.
ton takes place:
Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says
she's a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabella
Jane Apthorp a.pinin' fur"
"1'm a.pinin' fur sweet kiss"
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says she
is a.pinin' fur sweet kiss. Who is Miss
Arabella Jane Apthorp a rinin fur a
sweet kiss frum?'
I'm a-pinin' fur sweet kiss from
Hugh Weddle." [Blushes, convulsive
CYCLES and confusion on the part of Miss
Arabella Jane Apthorp at this forced
confessional Hugh Waddle walks up
manfully and relieves the fair Arabella's
pinin' by smack which sounds like a
three-year.old steer drawing his hoof out
of the mud.
Then young man will be taken with
sodden and unaccountable pinin',
which, after the usual exchange Of ques-
tions and volunteered information, re-
veals the name of the maiden who causes
the gnawin' and ipinin. She coyly re-
treats outdoors, only to be chased, over
taken, captured and forcibly compelled
to relieve her captor's distress.
At one of these entertainments which
it was the narrator's fortune to attend,
there was remarkably beautiful young
woman, who had been married about a
month. Her husband was present, a
huge, beetle-browed, black eyed young
mountaineer, with fist like ham.
The boys fought shy Of the bride for feal
of mourning the anger of her sulkinl
spouse. The game went on for some
time, when symptoms of irritation de-
veloped in the giant. Striding into the
middle of the room, he said:
"My wife ez pooty, m cz nice, N
sweet ez any gyrul hyar. You uns ha,
known her all her life. This game he:
been a.going on half an hour an nobody
has pined for her onct. Ri some on,
doesn't pine fur her pooty soon tha
will be trouble"
She was the belle of the ball afte
that. Everybody pinned for her. Wash

A FOUL MURDER.
In Irish Mountain, Lincoln County,
Nevada. Was Unearthed on the
18th inst.
A happy New Year to you all.

While party of miners were doing
assessment work on what is known as
the Black Sulphurets mine in Irish
Mountain, for Mr.. A. w. Gear, Geo.
Blythe, the leader of the party, while
cleaning the debris from the above mine,
and after cleaning out about two feet of
the accumulation struck some bones; the
first being the under jaw. bone, and after
thorough search, full human skeleton
was unearthed, of a white..man, about eft
in height. The corpse had been placed
between two boards not quite long enough
to cover the entire body. The skull was
broken in just above the left ear, where
the coagulated blood can yet be seen.
Deceased had sncither coat nor vest on,
but black felt hat, black pants with
light gray stripes, brown drill overalls,
red undershirt, blue flannel drawers and
overshirt, shaker socks, pair of No. 8
coarse boots. A bunch of Cal. match es
tied with buckshin string and two brass
pants buttons in pocket. The left thigh
bone had previously been broken and
healed so as to make the man drag his
left foot on the inside 'as he walked as
evidenced by his left boot being worn
off on inside. Under the boots the flesh
yet remains, and on other parts flesh is
dried up.
This mine has not been worked for Is
or 20 years. The shaft was 26 feet
deep, 6 feet long by 3 feet wide and was
dug in such way that the dirt on
corpse could not have got there but by
being thrown in by human agency.
There is story ahoat that two men left
Northern California some four years ago,
one of whom had had his left thigh bone
broken. Afterwards the other returned
and said his partner had been killed in
Irish Mountain. This your corfespon.
dent cannot get at present., as the man
who tells it cannot be seen until next
week, when you shall know the whole
truth. The bones were put into sack
and are yet hanging in the same shaft.

The Ball given by the Quadrille Band
at Browns Hall ON Christmas night, was
well attended and dancing continued I'M
til six O'Clock in the morning. Owing to
the storm and slushy condition of the
streets, carriags were provided by the
band to take the dancers to and from the
hall, convenience much appreciated.

H ELP YOURSELF.

Fight your own battle. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favors of any one, and
you'll succeed thousand times better
than one who is always beseeching some
ones influence and patronage. No one
will ever help you as you can help your
self, because no one will be so heartily
interested in your affairs. The first step
will be- such a long one, perhaps; but
carving your own way up the mountain
you make each one lead to another, and
stand firm while you chop still another
out. Men who have made fortunes are
not those who have had $1,000 given
them to start with, but boys who have
started fair with well-earned dollar or
two.
Men who acquire fame have never
been thrust into popularity by puffs
begged or paid for, or given in friendly
spirit. They have outstretched their
own hands and touched the public heart.
Men who win love do their own wooing,
and l never knew man to fail so sig
nally as one who induced his affection
ate grandmother to speak good word
for him. Whether you work for fame,
for love, for money, or for anything else,
work with your hands and heart and
brain. Say II will" and some day you
will conquer. Never let any man have
it to say, II have dragged you up" Too
many friends sometimes hurt man more
than none at all.

The need of an express office here is
felt more and more each month, and it
would seem that. with our present pop
ulation and theI volume of business going
on, one should have already been opened.
Aside from the conveniences afforded in
the transmission of packages, etc., we
could expect to find a.suppIy of gold and
silver about town for .change.i As it has
been for number of months past, it is
an extremely difficult matter to find
change for $50. About the only avenue
through which money of any kind is
brought here now is the mail, and the
chances of loss are too great to induce
many to use it. See if an office cannot be
opened during the present shut down and
be ready for general business when work
is resumed.

Boys and 4 heir Mothers.

How lonely the mothers heart feels
when her lad shows for the first time
that hefeels too big to be kissed! So many
boys are afraid that they may be con.
sidered babysh if they show any signs
of affection. They are afraid being call
ed "girl-boys," or .tied to mamy's
apron string" But this is sad mistake
on their parts. A man is never more
manly than when loving and shielding
the mother who loved and protected
him through all his childhood: Don't
let the boys grow away from you,
mothers. They need you just as much
as the girls do. A boy who is tender
and loving to his mother will be sure
to be the same to his wife.
The best of education in the world is
that got by struggling to get living

FIRE.-Last Monday night, at Rose
Valley, the dwelling house of w. c.
Glissan was destroyed by fire. The fire
originated I'M the stone chimney.
The chimney had been out of order for
some time, and its repair neglected. A
timber left exposed in it is thought to
have caught fire and thus spread to the
building. 1t was about one O'Clock
when the building burned, and Mr..
Glissan had barely time to get out of the
place. Everything but q scanty suit of
clothing was destroyed, including some
money which he had on hand, the silver
being afterward found melted, together
with the purse fastenings which con.
tanned it. Mr.. Glissan has suffered par.
ticularly by fire and the present loss is
serious one to him.

Christmas day was spent by many

stand either the weight or moisture.
Not to exceed three rooms in the court

the Sheriffs Office were saturated and
badly injured. The trosale here arises
from the manner in which the fire walls
were covered dnring the repairs recently
