WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the Week Ending Monday, May
IS, 1893.

CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, n. &.
The reports of correspondents Of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
Service, for the week ending Monday,
May 18th, 1898, indicate that the
weather during the past week has been
unfavorable for the growth of crops
The temperature has been below the
normal, the nights especially being too
cool; there has been too little sunshine.
The rain fall was least in the Western
District and heaviest in the Eastern,
but generally a good season. A freshet
occurred on the Roanoke. The weather
during week ending May 22d will be
much warmer.
Eastern District Crops do not look
as well az last week on account of coil,
wet weather. However, where cotton
is up and chopped it is doing we'll, but
much Of it is just %sprouting and is east
ly affected by the weather. A few
farmers are replanting who can get
seeds. Corn is up fifteen inches in the
south of this district. The freshet in
the Roanoke did some damage to low
land corn, but all of the crop had not
been planted. The damage by bud and
cu5-wOrms to corn and tobacco is seri
GUS, ten correspondents reporting much
damage on that account. Rains re
ported: Floral College, $50; Toma-
hawk, 1. 70; Croatan, 100; Lewiston,
2.38; Elizabeth City, 100; Battleboro,
1 25; Weldon, O61; Willeyton $50;
Wilmington, 1877; Southport, 2 OF,
Central District.-The cool, wet
weather has had a bad effect upon
most crops, especially cotton. At a
few places some of it will have to be
replanted; afew farmers are still plant
ing cotton, but the greater part Of the
crop is up with good stand. Farmers

past week has been TRANSFORMING to-
Oacco. Plants are plentiful, Cut

Western District.-Less rain fell in
this district, and the weather, though
cool, had less injurious effect, merely
stopping growth of crops to some ex-
tent. Cotton and corn have good stand.
Some tobacco has been t~ransplanted.
Cut worms are not doing much damage
in this district, only two correspondents
reporting damage by them. Wheat is

The more rapidly the world increases

the prices sink and the poorer he gets.

One Man Against a Moh.

In February, 1913, when the
French capital was in the throes Of
revolution, a mob surrounded the
hotel de Vile and menaced the de-
alterations of the assembly, which
was sitting within. At the Theatre
Historique, where Chateau Renaud,
a French actor Of no great conse-
quence at the time, happened to be, he
heard OF the turmoil, and q bright
thought came to him. He put on
the costume OF a representative of
the people in the year 1893 Then
he hunted up an old white horse,
mounted it. and, with q small crowd
at his heels, rode straight to the
hotel do Vile and through the mob
which was shouting about its doors.
DismOuntlng, he went into the hall,
where Lamartine was presiding.
Citizens" he shouted. deliberate
in peace! No one shall come in
while am here!" He went out and
remounted his white horse, and no
one did come in. One Enthusiastically
attired man, with terrible counte-
nance, had completely overawed the
crowd. which probably would have
defed successfully a regiment Of
soldiers.-Argonaut

The Thrin of Good Spending.

If you would live long and prosper cul-
| tivate a liberal mind. That is to saw, let
not the little foxes of daily expense gnaw
unpleasantly at your financial conscious
ness. Part as cheerfully with your dollars
as you greet them, and never by any means
be of those mistaken souls who grudge the
most necessary spending.
Good spending does not imply lavishness.
Indeed, it is straitly opposed to the useless
frttering away of hard cash. Neither does
it mean the keen bargaining the raspinr
calculation, that in many minds stand for
| economy. Always that money is best spent
which brings the largest returns. whether
of comfort, luxury, the desire of the eye, or
the pride Of life
As womankind spends mostly for per
sonal and household matters. it NAV be
well TO make a somewhat more special an
plication. If you would spend well. never
buy cheap or sleazy stutfs, loud patterns,
or garments whose only recommendation is
their pronouncedness. Remember that bv
cheap stutfs are meant not inexpensive
honest fabrics, which are we'll worth any
body's wearing, but the limitations which
masquerade under fine names. ANYBODY
who needs to look twice before spending a
dollar should avoid them as she would the
plague. In TACT, Shakespeare ID junction.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy"
is most excellent wisdom for all whose gar
ments are like to have long use. A fine,
smooth, finewoyen fabric, well colored. but
not gaudy or striking. looks well as long as
there is a thread of IT, All the more so if
fit and finish be of the best, and the cut
only moderately OF its seasons fashion.
Better thoroughly good garment of five
years back than cheap and tawdry one
entirely up TO date.
Many a woman who wastes each season
$50 piecemeal on the most ephemeral fur
bellows and Fittings, would stand aghast at
the suggestion Of putting so much money
in length of good lace. Yet she could
keep it from year to year; put it to uses
mnumerable; get out of it a hundredfold
the distinction that her ribbons and ruch-
ings afford, to say nothing of the heavenly
satisfaction which such possessions bring
to the truly feminine soul.
Ii is the same with jewcry; one good
bit is worth a CARLOAD of glttering trash
that in the aggregate costs more money

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.


James II. Head died at his residence
across the river Sunday morning, after an
illness of only few days. But few of
our people knew of his illness till his death
was announced. He had many years been
a prominent resident and a man popular
with nearly all classes, and his death causes
much sorrow to all who knew him. He
had for years taken a warm interest in all
that affected the welfare of our village, but
more particularly with that part of it which
lies across the river. He has at times held
the position of Justice of the peace and
constable or deputy sheriff, and in those
positions has been fearless in his endeavors
to suppress the liquor traffic, as well as
other forms of vice. He has represented
the town of Walpole in the New Hamp-
shire legislature number Of times, and
was well known throughout the state Of
New Hampshire, perhaps more than in
Vermont. For long series of years he
carried on large business as a manu-
facturer of ash chair splints at first in
company with his fatherin-law, Nathaniel
Munroe, under the firm name of Munroe
n Head, and later he assumed it alone,
employing at times large force of men.
The demand for this production having
largely declined, he stopped manutactur-
ing about five years, ago turning his large
factory building into tenements. He was
prominent worker in many of the secret
organizations of our village and Keene but
nowhere will his influence he missed more
than in the local lodge of Sons of Temper
ance. His funeral was attended from the
Universalist church, of which he was an
active member Wednesday afternoon, the
services at the grave being in charge Of
King Solomon's lodge, A. f. a A. NJ. He
