Kittrell Correspondence.

KITTRELL, n. c., June 6. 90.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-The Northern
winter residents of the place have all
taken their departure and kittrsll has
settled down for the summer.
Crops Of all kinds promise we'll.
Wheat is reported to be unusually
good, and nearly ready for cutting.
The very successful term of the
school conducted at this place by the
Misses Allen was closed with appro-
pirate and interesting exercises on
Tuesday evening, May 3lst. In fact
the proficiency of her young charge
in their various exercises merits more
than passing notice. Many happily
selected pieces-humorous. pathetic
and musical events were rendered in
a manner showing the excellence of
their training and the talent of the
Misses Allen for this their chosen
calling.
While it might be invidious to dis
crlminate among the more advanced
pupils, l can not refrain from express
ing the pleasure given me by the act
ing Of the younger onss-mers dots
of childhood.
The songs by Master John Lee Hunt
and his sister, Cora, and that of the
wee Misses Williams, were natural
and refreshing. Manifestations of child
life initiated but never equaled by the
conventional children Of the profess
sional stage.
kittrell is fortunate in having
teachers so capable and so energetic.

MEANS MUCH TO THEsOUTH.

Some of our Northern contempo
raric are expressing surprise that the
Southern people get SO excited over
Presidential elections. When North
ern man comes to live in a Southern
State he understands why the results
Of Presidential election is so impor
tant to the South. 1t means the safety
of his home and property. An assertion
like this is met by the query, if the
South is not now prosperous under
Republican rule? But would it prosper
under a Republican Congress and
President, who could put the Force bill
in operation? There's the point. 1t is
not the fault of President Harrison
that the Force bill is now law. 1t is
important to the South that we should
have Democrat in the chair who can
veto that measure if by any chance
the next House should be Republican.
If Harrison be the nominee the South
can best vindicate itself in the eyes of
the world by giving a laundering
majority against him. We are not OF
those who believe that South Carolina
will allow any crude financial theories
to play that State into the hands of
the Republicans. -Richmond State.

Deafness Can't Be Cured
Care "GOLD LEAF

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-

have rumbling sound or imperfect hear

is the result, and unless the Inflammation

its normal condition hearing will be de-

The Rev. John Campinus, a Swedish preacher whocame to America in Fob ruary. l6i2. and landed at Tho Rocks within the present limits of the cisy of Wilmington, Del, was either troubled with the nightmare or was the worst liar ever produced by the Scandinavian na- tion. Below give few samples of his able yarns;
 There is n kind of fly here which the natives call 'cucuyo,' and which in the night time gives so strong n light that it is sufficient when man is travelling to show him the way. have often trav- eled the darkest nights with no torch but one of these flies made fast to my cap."
 Further along, in his "New Sweden, the Rev. John says, There is here also a serpent which has head like n dog and can bite off a mans head as clear as if it had been cut otf with an ax. There is also serpent which has little seeds in a pocket in his head. and by wagging the same the rattle may bo heard 100 yards"

CultivatInR Pearls.
Now l have found a Friend Whose lovo shall never end,
 Jesus is minol

It is interesting to know that quite re. gently distinguished Frenchman, M. Bouchon- -Brandely, has discovered what he believes to be practical method of procuring the manufacture of these gems of the ocean through artifice. Now that the pearl market of the world is seriously menaced by the threatened exhaustion of the fisheries it is high time for human ingenuity to step in and supply the demand. The process adopt ed is simply to bore holes in the shells of the pearl oyster with n gimlet, intro. ducing through these perforations little balls of glass, and stopping them her. medically with corks.
 After four weeks time the balls oi glass are found to bo covered with thin layer of pearl. In six months the layer has become of sufficient thickness to be permanent, and the bigness of the jewel thus manufactured is in proportion to the period allowed to elapse. Of course, this has its limitations, inasmuch as the mollusk will not deposit nacre indeh nitely, its only object being to protect itself from irritation by the intruder. The expert quoted believes that pearls can be made of various colors to order by selection.-Cor Boston Transcript.
