A Novel Valentine Pa-sv Given a. the
Res Gence OF Nh md Mrs Iockett

A Novel Valentine Pa-sv Given Al the
Res dence OF M. md Mrs Lockett.
A very novel Valentine Party was
that given IN Winston last Saturday
afternoon by Mrs. E. L. Lockett to
her son. Everett Four rooms below
and one above stairs were thrown
open for the reception of the fifty-five
guests, land these were brightly illumi
mated by chandeliers, wax candles
and fairy lamps. The decorations
were unique and pretty. Over the
double doors facing the front was
statue of Venus, in a bower of cedar,
while above all the decorated pictures
in the different rooms were white
carrier pigeons with Valentines in
their bills. In their fight, two met
above picture entitled Glove, or
Duty, and while caressing, dropped
| Their little "billet douxs,' which were
| caught in the decorations about the
picture below.
The dining room was perhaps the
most attractive of all. Here pink
roses and violets were in profusion.
The china was pink and gold and ev-
cry knife, fork AM spoon was tied
with different cOlOred ribbons, repre-
senting the hues of tide rainbow.
Tiny birds we're perched about over
the chandelier, from which swung a
cry ,tal basket filled with violets and
LaFrance roses. In the center of the
table was a miniature lake on the
messy banks of which violets and
ferns were growing, while gilded but
terhies slipped their sweets. Cupid
with gilded oars, propelled his tiny
barge among the water-lillles, light
ed on his way by pink wax taper
which stood in the bow of the boat.
Ms, Lockett had prepared an ele-
giant repast of dainty viands for her
sons guests, and sweet sounds OF
music pealed forth from behind a re-
cess of cedars in the dining room
while the little ones partook of the
bountiful spread. After supper the
door bell rang quickly many times,
and in came est. Valentine" robed in

Ars,nei.l Exg..

James Storey, the inventor of the
artificial egg, claims with the utmost
confidence that this useful and pop
ular, article. of food can be produced
by machinery, and SO perfectly that
it will be impossible to distinguish
the difference between it and the
old-fashioned product of the hen.
In addition to this Mr.. Storey says
the eggs produced by bis syetem do
not deteriorate, but on the contrary,
ike good liquor, improvel with
age. As to the cost, he figures that
with q plant costing less than $500
he can produces one car load of eggs

Officers Hammer and Sugg Sunday
night arrested, at Belo Pond church
a colored preacher, from Virginia, at
request of the Pittsylvania county
authorities.
The name called for in the papers
is Rev. James A. Sumner. and he is
wanted for cutting ARRAY. The
party arrested at first gave his name
as Williams, but he had in his pocket
letters addressed Rev. James A Sun
ner, and lie corresponded with the
description in the papers. He finally
admitted that he was James A. Sum
} ner. and consented to 60 along. He
was locked up and awaits the action
of the Virgins authorities, who
were telegraphed to.
The officers did not disturb the SER
vices. but waited until the close, and
quietly made the arrest. The ac-
cused preached and has
preached here before. The colored
people appear to think a good deal
of him.

Johnston AN d snermaa.

Johnston, lingering at eighty four,
mourns like true man the captor
to whom he gave his sword. Gener-
al Johnston, like General Sherman,
saw in fealty to his state a duty
Sherman found in fidelity to a ma
ton. Sherman rose from obscurity
at the outbreak of the war to the
greatest glory at its close. History
has told Johnston handed his sword
to Sherman after Lee had placed his
into the hands of Grant. Had Sher-
man survived Johnston, the same
soldierly courtesy would have in.
spired him to indite a like message
of manhood and sincerity. Theil
fighting ended with the war. From
such heroic natures lesser men de-
cline to learn the lesson of true he
roism, true patriotism. = Chicago

mosemensor. Hundred Years.

The closeness with which the CEN
tire of population, through such rapid
westward movement as has been re-
corded, has ching to the parallel 390
of latitude cannot fail to be noticed.
The most northern point reached
was at the start in 1890; the most
southern point was in 1880, the pre-
ceeding decade having witnessed a
rapid development of population in
the Southwest, Alabama, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana having
been admitted as States and Florida
annexed and organized as a Terri
tory. The extreme variation in lati
tude has been less than 49, while the
hundred years of record have accom-
plished a movement of longitude of
nearly 9 SOC.

Fine Fsney Work.

Under this head the New Berne
Journal compliments a Winston-Sa-
lem contributionito the Fair, as fol-
lows: Mrs. w. A. Hearne, has sent
from Salem, for exhibition al. the
Fair, six very handsome and unique
pieces of her own fancy work, none.
of which has ever been on exhibition
anywhere, and have all been recent
ly completed. They are silk
quilt, a calico quilt of 5000 pie
ces, three knitted rugs, of her own
designing, and a crocheted tidy. In
all this work are shown great ingen-
uity, industry, happy adaptation and
utilization of odds and ends of ma
terial usually wasted or thrown away.
This fancy work must be seen to be
appreciated, and is liberal and
highly valued contribution to the
Fair by devoted daughter of New
Berne.

The CPIeIe.

The Critic.
1t is one thiog to criticise and com
nent adversely upon what you see
done or hear said, but it is quite an
other to originate something better.
As q rule the severest critic of
others are those whose own ideas are
the most unreliable and whose own
efforts have met with the poorest
success. Those in this world who
have won any distinction by labor
properly applied know what success
costs, and As a rule have more chart
ty for those who, fail than any other
class. These are facts worth con-
sidering when you hear q chronic
critic, whose breath outweighs his
brains.
