A Dog Commits Suicide.
Oxford Day !

A dog belonging to James Howard,
of Granville county, yesterday saw
train approaching, and, walking be-
tween the rails, be faced the engine
and calmly awaited for it to knock
the life out of him.
Mr.. Howard whistled and called and
shouted. but the dog did not bulge an
inch. 1t looked as The had made up
his mind to commit suicide, and there
wasn't anything could turn him from
his purpose. He stood like a statue
until the pilot Of the locomotive struck
him. He was hur'ed into the air, and
his body fell to the ground lifeless.

WInston's Northern Route.


The Roanoke & Southern people
are putting their road straight on
through. They woke up Stoneville
with the first train last week and
they expect to carry Santa Claus on
the cow-catcher into Martinsville,
Va, on Christmas morning. The
grading has all been completed from
Stoneville to Martinsville and the
piers have been put up ready to re-
ceive the iron bridge three miles south
ofthe latter place. The work between
Martinsville and Roanoke is going
rapidly. Over a thousand men are
shoveling dirt there now and the
number will be increased this week
When any enterprise has Winston
Salem men and money behind it it's
bound to move!

The Lost Are Found.

Misses Crumpler and Wellons,
who left Salem a few days ago, re-
turned Tuesday night, safe and
sound. One of their relatives, ac-
companied by an officer, followed
them to New York, thence into Con-
necticut and around by the lakes
down to Covington KY, where the
young ladies had relatives and
friends. At the latter place they
were found and induced to come
home. 1t was not Miss Crumpler, as
was stated last week, but Miss We'll
Ions who had 5000. deposited in her
name at the bank and which was
used to defray the expenses of the
trip.

The Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Veterans Association
have tablished II Soldiers Home"
at Raleigh Already the "Home"
has been opened and several disabled
worthy confederate soldiers are being
provided for. More are seeking to be
admitted. The committee, with an
abiding faith in the love that the
good people of North Carolina cherish
tor the old and disabled "confeds,"
have risked the establishment of Il
Home relying upon the generosity
of a sympathizing public to sustain
it. do not believe that the Commit
tee have placed a false estimate upon
the affections of the people of North
Carolina respecting the Confederate
soldiers. In the hour OF our cOuntry's
need, they left all to follow her flag
Now in their distress | believe the
good peopl- of the State will hel p to

| feel that the interest OF the Home"
cOInmends itself to every one, but e.
pecially do l appeal to the women of
North Carolina to make the ''Hcme"
the special object of their care. The
Home has no certain fund to rely
upon for support. We have laid the
foundation stone of the 'sHome" up
on the loyalty of North Carolinians
to the cause of the noble and good,
and with faith in God that He will
maintain the right.
l appeal especially to the ladies.
Help the ''Home." Give some sort of
an entertainment, and send the pro-
ceeds to Mr. W. c. Stronach, Treas
urer, Raleigh, &C. Youwill be most
agreeably surprised, l am sure, at the
readiness which you will find on the
part of the public to encourage and
patronize you. The ladies of Raleigh
and Durham, and may God bless
them, have already been of most sub
stantial benefit in this direction and
placed the management under last
ing obligations May l ask that the
ladies of Winston do likewise? Be-
lieving that this appeal will not pass

Important developments in Africa
arc so common nowadays that they
hardly excite the attention they deserve.
Last month the future Of many thou
sands of square miles of her territory
WAS settled, perhaps for centuries to
come, and now 1t is quite certain that
the Congo State is to be a possession of
Belgium. If the traders who are scat
tered all the way from the mouth OF the
river to Stanley Falls know anything
about the value Of the country, the
prospects are bright that the Congo
State will III time richly repay all she
is costing in infancy. But cotton, coffee,
and India rubber must make her exports
important, for ivory is only a temporary
source of wealth.

There seems to be a doubt as to the
course that British war vessels will
pursue, in case American cruisers in the
seal-taking waters Of Behring sea should
capture by force, Canadian sealers this
season as they have done in the past. 1t
has been intimated by high Canadian
officials that the British vessels haye
been sent to the west coast Of British

The Cosmopolitan.
Thus for one dollar a year the members of
the Circle will at the outset have access TO
more than forty dollars worth Of magazines

additional membership fees, more choice
reading matter will be added to the files of
the reading room and the solid and pcrman.
