BREAKING THE NEWS.

You say that I'm pale and flustered
and shivering in my shoes; I'll be
hanged If you would't shiver if you
had to "break the news" / suppose
you have heard how Quimby is
stretched on . bunk down there, with
pint or more of his own blue blood

to his house and tell his wife all about

not mashed on the job, you bet, and
my classic and blue-veined forehead
was bathed in a quart of sweat. The
woman was in the kitchen singing a
plaintive song, but she dried up when
she saw me. for she knew there was
something wrong. Then I coughed.
and I hemmed and stammered, and
Madam" said I. ''be brave! Your
husband is now a lying" o, Lord!
what a shrek she gave. And she
walked up and down a moaning and
wringing her furrowed hands, and her
hair fell down like sea-weed adrift
by the ocean sands. "Oh. Heaven"
she cried, "my husbandl They've
taken my love from me-" and the way
that she reeled and staggered was q

frozen or glued to my pearly teeth,
and hardly a breath came upward
from the paralyzed lungs beneath.
But I braced up all of sudden, and

she said: $50 the burned old loafer is

EVERY TOWN SHOULD HAVE
THEM.

The value of the building and
Loan Associations az an in-tru-
mentality in promoting the
building up and progress OF our
cities and towns, is becom ing
pretty generally recognized, and
the probabilities are that in a
short while there will be few
towns of any importance in the
State which will not have one
or more of them. As the Max
ton Union OF this week aptly re-
marks, commenting Gpe which
had been organized in Maxton,
they are not only Building and
Loan Associations, but the "best
kind of savings banks" Thro'
them many a man has been en-
abled to become the owner of
comfortable home, who without
them would never have become
home owner. They are, when
well managed, good institutions
and should be encouraged every
where.-Wil. Star.

Every farmer should unite
himself to some agricultural So
ciety which holds an annual fair.
and he should exert himself to
become useful as well as a
working member. By doing SO
he will lift himself up to hi Oh
er level, and it will stimulate,
HIM to more carefully investi-
gate every new step of progress
made in agriculture. The farm
er who always stays at h,me
never discovers the importanceof
keeping up with the times he
will not realize that he is not at
the front, but as soon as he be-
gins TO work in an agricultural
society, and gathers up the best
products of his farm to place
side bv side with his neighbors.
he finds his proper level; he Can
see at a glance where he fails
below, as we'll as where he ex
cells others. Nothing will take
the conceit out of a man more
thoroughly than to place such
products of his farm as he feels
quite positive cannot be excelled

products are so much better tn IN.
his that he cannot help seeing
1T. A farmer who finds himself
thus beaten will be very likely
to go home with determine
ton to make such improvements
in his methods as will enable
him to carry to the fair next
year products which shall come
up to his neighbor's.
Agricultural exhibitions have
done much to lift the farmer
out of the old ruts and create in
him a desire to improve the
breeds of farm stock, the varie-
ties of fruits and vegetables and
the methods Of conducting his
farm. These exhibitions have
also lifted the farmers ND to a
higher social position, because
they have furnished opportuni-
ties for him to mingle with
large numbers f people who
not only live in his own town,
but in the surrounding towns.
There are so many advanta
ges growing out of these annual |
fairs that we cannot afford toI
do without them; yet there are
those who never see but thei
dark side of anything, that cry |
out against them as being of no !
use. Such will stick to the old !!
ruts as long as they can, and |!

when their grandmothers carded |

only the few bright spots in the

overlooked; looking at the pres

Does Farming Pay?

The National Economist says:
We were once asked, and that
very lately, when the agricul-
tural conditions were as unfa-
vOrable as now, to name fifty
men in PasQuOtank county who
were making money by farming,
and could have named more
than fifty. And we last week
asked the question as to Curri-
tuck county of a. Currituckian
of intelligent observation and
he called over a dozen scattered
over the county who were MAX
lug money in different branche s
Of agriculture. Of course farm
ing requires brains to be mixed
with the farm work but there is
a simple process by which a
man can make farming pay with
out taxing too heavily his brain
force. In every large neighbor-
hood there is some man, or men
who is making both ends meet
and tapping over. Just watch
him and do like him, He's a
man to be watched. Not for the
evil but for the good that is in
him. Watch him day by day,
week by week, night hy night
watch him and do like him.
County Fairs are to make
such farmers prominent and
stimulate others to follow their
example.-EDI

THE CABINET.

The cabinet-makers have hung their
harps on the willows, having concluded
to let Gen. HARRISON form his own
cabinet. This conclusion was arrived
at only when it became certain that
the preSident-elect would not break the
sullen silence he has maintained since
the day of his election. 1t is already
evident that HARRISON is to be thorn
in the side of his party managers.
There has never. been Republican
president who has shown such indiffer-
ance to the advice of the party leaders.
He listens respectfully enough to what
they have to say, but never betrayS by
speech or motion What effect their words
have on him. Mr.. BLAINE'S friends are
now thoroughly soured Oh HARRISON,
although there has never been a word
from his lips to Indicate that Mr..
BLAINE will not be rendered the first
place in the cabinet. The very
fact that HARRISON did not hasten
to offer the state portfolio 20 Mr..
BLAINE on a silver platter is construed
by the latter's friends into evidence OF
hostility to their chief. A man SO fond
of fuss and feathers as Mr.. BLAINE
must feel awfully Inundated by Gen.
HARRIsoN's silence. To receive the
appointment of secretary of state with
out a hip and hurrah accompaniment
will be so intensely notifying to the
man from Maine that he will probably
refuse it. The fact that Mr.. BLAINE
has taken up his residence in Washing
ton in advance of HARRIsoN'S inaugu-
ration is thought by some to mean that
he has had private information that he

ELECTORAL REFORM.

All the measures proposed in the vari-
Gus legislatures in the way of electoral
reform have the main features of the
Australian system. and differ generally
only in minor details. The advantages
claimed for them may be summed up as
securing uniformity of tickets. doing
away with bogus devices. cheats and
pastors: avoiding the interlining of
names that the judges are unable to de-
cipher; protection from all bulldoZing,
leading up by the collar, or bribery.
The voter alone knows how he votes.
If he has friends on opposing tickets,
he can privately assure both that he
voted for him, and neither will know
which lie lied to. Then, if he wants to
sell his vote, he can trade with all par
ties, as it cannot be known how he
votes. OF course there would not be
much inducement to buy, as it is under
stood that those who sell will cheat the
buyer if they can not he watched.
