Rusk, to other features that are more
pleasing.
The Catawba, Isabella and Scupper-
nong grapes originated here, and
according to Humboldt's thermal
c~riteria, the whole State lies within
the most formidable vineyard zone of
the world.
North Carolina was last to enter the
Federal Union, but was last also to
secede, She showed her courage by
sending into the army more soldiers
than any other Confederate State and
losing more than any other, She was
bankrupted by the war, and for years
felt like the prodigal son after his little
toOt with the festive throng, but now
her prosperity is most remarkable, The
time IS coming, Mr.. Rusk. when every
hill in BuncOmbe county will have a
hotel on it and town lots may be
bought as far back as Sandy Mush.
What l especially desire is a package
or two Of the seedless watermelon seed,
some good hardy house plants, such as
Martha W~ashingtons, hydrangeas,
four-o'clocks, etc. Also some red eyed
pOleless China beans for use. How are
you fixed for potato salad plants?
Also please send trellis to Mr.. R. p.
Flower, Of New York, so that he can
climb up on it and get a better view of
the situation,
Crops r all looking well, Rye is
now all harvested and is being slid
down in shutes to the stack by those
who live on the more perpendicular
farms.
Mr., Clay Williams, a colored man,
met up with a frightful accident while
summer following on one of the hill
side farms below Homing township
last week. The scaffold, it seems, gave
way and he fell the entire distance to
the foot of the farm, striking the earth
twice on his way down and completely
disembOweling it. BILL NYE.

FROM THE SAME CANTEEN.

There are bonds of all sorts in this world of ours,
Letters OF friendship and ties of flowers,
And true lovers knots, l ween;
The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss,
But there's never a bond, old friend, like TINS
We have drank from the same canteen.

And sometimes apple jack fine as SILK;
But whatever the tipple has been.
We shared it together in bane and bISS' Il.
And | warm to YOU, friend, when thlhk u iiI9

And they uUaff to each other in sparkling vine
From glasses of crystal ana green

The warmth OF regard to be found IN tllS-
We have drank from the same cahleen.
Wehaves shared our blankets and tents together.
And have marched and fought in all kinds OF

And hungry and full we have been;
Had days of battle and days of rest,
But this memory l cling to and love the best
We have drank from the Canjeeh.

With nv blood flowing fast, and but little nope
Upon which my faint spirit could lean

story pictured out:
A hunter came out to hunt. At
the same time a bear went out to eat.
The hunter saw the bear. Quoth the
hunter: All, there's my fur over
coat. He fired. The bear jumped be
hind a tree and was not hurt. Quoth
the bear: All, there's my square
meal. Whereupon the bear ate the
hunter, Ergo Cby the mutual arrange

to he MIXED, or rather his cow has.
He lives just outside the corporation
limits where there are large commons
on which the COWS pasture. Having a
large lawn, he mows the grass with an
attachment to his lawn mower which
catches the grass cut. This he feeds
to his COW at night, and her toothsome
lunch q freshly mown grass has come
to be a Looked-for evening occurrence.
The other evening a friend went out
to spend the night. After tea, the
gentleman,s wife remarked to him:
The COW has not come home vet:
hadn't you better start herr"
Yes, was the answer. and then
while his city friend watched to see
him perform the Office Of cowboy, he
deliberately got out his lawn mower
and began marching back and forth

Brother St. Claire Williams is Called
Down.
When the regular Saturday night
meeting had been opened in due and
ancient form, and the %janitor had
signaIed that the thermometer showed
90 degrees, all over the hall, Brother
Gardner looked around and inquired:
is Brudder St. Claire Williams
present wild us dis evening"
"He ar" replied the individual
alluded to as he rose up.
"You will please step dis way"
Brother Williams is known as the
iimdandy of the club. He uses real
bears oil for his hair, wears patent
leather shoes and has been known to
change collars twice a day since the
warm weather set in. He has had his
photograph taken in seven different
poses, and has been known to pencil
his eyebrows while riding on the front
platform of a street car.
"Brudder Williams" said the presi-
dent as he looked down upon him,
you are 'sposed to be de purtiest an
sweetest member Of dis Cotton Blossom
club"
Eyes, sah," replied the brother,
grinning at the compliment.

president, 4 has had my eye on you
since de fust night I sot in dis hall. [
sized you up fur a purity man, an I
see 1 was right. How you got into dis
crowd l can't say, but l kin easily tell
you how you will git out Of it! We
doan' want no purity men heah. If we
had a hop-yard an wanted sumthin'
fur vines to climb up on we could make
use of you. You might do fur fish bait,
but we has no time to go fiShin'. When
a man sots out to be purity an sweet he
amt no good any mo. When his only
ambishun is to grease his ha'r, wax his
mustache an go long de street as if he
was steppin' on aigs, he amt with
bein' bit by a ten cent dawg. Brudder
Williams, you is purity, but you owe
mo- money dan you kin pay in two
Vars. You IS sweet, but you has to
dodge de tailor. You has an elegant
way of liftin' yer hat, but de hat amt
paid fur. You walk like a gunner, but
yer shoemaker duns you almos' cherry

Il am gwine to give yer a show. If
durin' the comm week yer kin find a
Job, git into some common clothes,
arrange to pay yer debts an git rid of
that ha'r lie an perfumy, you will still
be carried on our rolls Of membership.
If not you needn't come heah aGin.'
The pretty member returned to his
chair in a state of great mental excite
ment, but after cooling off and think
ing the matter over he told Judge Cabif
that he had decided to stop being sweet
and pretty and become one Of the pill
