a. 3 o'clock in his goth year.
Mr.. Myers has long been q citizen
of this county, having lived for a
number of years on the road leading
to Clemmonsville. He moved to
Salem about two years ago. He was
a highly esteemed citizen, and by
his death Salem loses the oldest per-
son living within her borders-in

was the oldest citizen of the county,
if not in the State His remains was
laid to rest at Bethel church,

A Verit . BE jun bO.

Mr.. w R. Vickers, who conducted
Merchants Hotel in this city a few
years ago, and who was then rec
ognized as the largest man in the
State, seems to be still gaining in
weight, if the information we get
from a citizen of Reidsville is true.
Mr.. Vlckers leased his hotel in that
tovs few weeks ago to Mr.. James
Hall and then erected a large two
story brick residence for himself and
family. To the surprise of Mr..
Vickers, when he went to move in
to the house he found it impossible,
on account of his size, to get either
himself or his chair into either the
front or back door. Our informant
vouches to the statement and says
Mr.. Vickers was very much puzzled
at the state of affairs.

The Wilkesboro Chronicle is still
Of the opinion that passenger train
should be put on between Winston
and Wilkesboro. Here is what Eds
tor Deal says about it: 1.-The train
has been coming in late for some
time, from two to three hours late
frequently. This is Of great incon-
venience to the passengers and de-
lay to the business man. The cause
We hear is the large amount Of
freight. It was stated some time
since that as soon as the freight
would justify . separate passenger
train would be put ON. This time
has certainly come and the public
interest demands it,,

The spiders Party.
AIrs. Spider gave a party,

Mrs. Spider gave party,
And invited spiders all,
Giving them a welcome hearty,
In her web inside the wall.
All her many little spiders
Donned their Sunday pinafores,
Curled their hair, and put on ribbons,
For so great and grand cause.
Martha Jane, the spider-servant,
Let the guests in when they came,
First OF all politely asking
Where they came from and their name.
And when answered, then she led them
To grand reception-room,
Where the host and hostess waited
for their many guest to come.
Mr.. Spider had an eyeglass,
And silver watch besides;
Mrs. Spider wore a locket,
With her husbands hair inside.
Both looked very gay and happy.
Leaning back within their chairs,
Talking to tho guests around them
AS they trooped up from the stairs.
When the clock struck six precisely,
Martha Jane came bustling In.
"Please," she said, 1.-THE supper's ready
So the guests went rustling in.
In the dining-room the supper
On table long was laid.
Loaded with all kinds of dainties.
Which the spider-cook had made.
Legs OF drones fried brown in butter,
Midge preserved, bluebottle-pies,
Little insects mixed in sugar,
And all kinds OF moths and flies.
Everything that spiders fancy
Was upon the white cloth spread,
And they ne'er before had eaten
Such a supper, each one said.
When at last the meal was over,
And each guest had had enough,
All adjourned into the drawn room
Where they played ut "blindmaLs
buff"
Hide and Seek" and "hunt the slipper"
Till the clock was striking ten,
When their carriages came for them,
And they left directly then.
