The Girls Do Not Scare Easily.

DO the passengers who ride up with you
ever become frightened" asked reporter of
the elevator conductor at the Washington
monument the other day.
'Some do and some do not, was the reply,
as the cable puller turned to explain to a lady
in the car that the trip upward occupied
about nine minutes. IN tell YOU" he ex-
planned, turning back to the reporter. 1.-THE
first lady who became frightened in the monu-
ment came the other day. She was the first
and only one We had hardly started from
the floor when she began to get nervous, and
kept getting more and more so, and finally
asked me to let her off. OF course | could
not go back, so kept on to the first landing,
two or three levels higher, and there opened
the door and led her out to the platform
She was very nervous. | did not want to
leave her there alone, so l called to a nice
looking young man who was walking down
and asked him if he would not stay with her
until could get to the top and send watch
man down to help her. He said he would
and went on When the Waterman went
down he could not find them; she had walked
back with the young man"
Here the conductor had to interrupt him
self to reassure a man huddled away back in
the corner of the car that the same elevator
had carried tons and tons of stone to the top
of the monument, and>had been pronounced
perfectly safe by all the authorities. Then
he resumed, lowering his voice somewhat as
he said:
"On the other hand, l have had to stop at
least twenty times for the benefit Of men who
would not go any higher. Why, have seen
great, big, strong men, who looked as though
they weren't afraid Of anything, get to trem-
bling and finally ask me to let them get off
and walk. Particularly fat men, too," with
a reminiscent chuckle. "Fat men are afraid
of their weight, particularly if they are with
a large crowd | can't explain why this
should be-" he concluded, just as the car
emerged from the semi-darkness of the shaft
into the whittier, brighter light of the top
landing, "but | must say that I've come to
the conclusion that the women are not the
towards after all; it's the men. If the
women are they don't show it here Wash

OwENsvILLE, N. c., May 26th '89.
In the times which "tried mems
souls" when the yankees were plum
dering the homes of this country,
Mr.. James White, Jr., while on his
way home, saw the blue coats COM
ing into the road before him. He
at once hurried into the woods and
hid his gold watch, pocket book and
pistol under a log not far from the
place Of Mr.. J. r. Harris of Owen
vile. After the yankees had gone
from the neighborhood both Mr..
White and his neighbors searched in
vain for the hidden treasures with
the exception of the pocket book,
which alone was found. The land
on which the articles were hidden
is now a cultivated field, and on last
Thursday, the 23rd inst, Mr.. Will
liam Culhreth, while working in the
field, found the watch which Mr..
White, who has been dead several
years, had given up as found by the
yankees. The crystal, hands and
guard were gone and the running
works slightly rusted, otherwise it
was in apparently good condition
The watch was hidden on the 10th
of March, 1865 and found on the 23rd
of May, 1889, just "a years, 2 months
and Z days after. PLUG.

THURSDAY
The 18th annual closing exercises
of this school took place on last
Thursday and Friday. the 23rd and
oath instants. On Thursday even
ing, I'm the Literary Hall, came the
musital concert, ESSAYS and recita-
tions by representatives of the Young
Ladies' Reading Circle and the exer-
cises by the children Of Primary
Department.
The concert under the manage
ment of Miss McIver was a decided
success, and every one of her pupils
deserved to be complimented upon
the ease, grace, delicacyof touch and
accuracy with which different pieces
of instrumental music were executed.
The essay of Miss Minnie Lamb,
"Big and Little You," was a scath-
ing arraignment of the follies, dude
isms and egotisms of the day and
while the other essays, ETC., were
equally meritorious, yet this one is
given special mention for its timeli-
ness. The little children did well as
they always do, for Il child is never
happier thar at Christmas and School
closings.
On the walls of the Hall hung
large paintings and crayon drawings,
executed by the art class, during the
year, under the direction of Misses
Rimmer and McIyer. 1t is difficult
for the ordinary observer to under
stand how pupils with little or no
iGea Of drawing and painting could
produce such results in so short a
time.
Prizes were awarded to Misses
Minnie Lamb and Bette Cooper and
Messrs C.. G.. Howard and George
Baggett for proficiency in various
branches of study.
Mr.. Bryant, the efficient teacher
OF the Literary and Mathematical
Department, stated that Master =. e.

Mathematics was remarkable.
The prizes were presented by Mr..

dent of Public Instruction.

been erected for tle exercises of the
day. inst at this moment the car
riage bearing Hon. Kemp p. Battle,
the speaker for the day, and H. E
Faison, Introductory orator, drove
up from Clinton. They were met
by the Principal and society officers
and conducted to the rOstrum, the
pupils and audience filing in. First
came the declarations. The medal
was awarded by committee to Mas
ter C. G. Howard Next came, fol
an hour, after happy introduction
by Mr.. Flist n, a most learned, eE
tertaining and instructive address:
by President Battle, of the State
; University, in which even the child

debate. The medal was awarded b,

A Terrific Hail Storm.

WARSAW, May 27th.-A hail
storm more terrific than the one of
May 1st, in connection with the tor
nado, visited this section last Sun
day evening. The track of the
storm was from South East to North
West and was about miles in
width. About 4 miles East of this
place in the neighborhood of Mr..
David j. Middleton the results were
very disastrous. The hail fell for
about Is minutes and the ground
was completely covered with stones
from the size of a partridge egg up
to that OF q guinea egg. Nearly all
the leaves vera beaten from the
trees and many limbs from half to
an inch in diameter were cut off.
All crops except cora are about
total loss.
We understand that the same
storm passed through this county
about 10 miles to the North of Gin
ton with almost equal fury and vio-
lence.-Editor.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

diseases put together, and until the
last fe Y years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Gatarrh Cure. manu-
