Everybody likes pets if they are
harmless but when you make pet of
wild beast, take care it doesn't become
unpleasantly aiIectionate.
A traveller in Persia had arrived at
Abadeh, where European telegraph
official, Mr.. g., welcomed him hospi-
tably, and invited him to remain for the
night. He says
An hour later I was comfortably
settled upon the sofa, when my rest
was suddenly disturbed by loud
bang at the sitting-room door, which,
flying open, admitted two enormous
animals, which l at first took for
dogs.
Both OF them made at once for my
sofa, and while the larger one curled
comfortably around my feet and COM
posed itself to sleep, the smaller one,
evidently of more affectionate DISPOSE
ton, seated itself on the floor and COM
menced licking my hands and face, an
operation which, had 1 dared, should
strongly have resented.
But the white, cleaning teeth and
cruel-looking green eyes inspired me
with respect, to use no stronger word,
for had by this time discovered that
these domestic pets were panthers. To
my great relief, Mr.. entered at
this juncture.
Making friends with the panthers, 1
see," he remarked pleasantly. They
are nice companionable beasts"
That may have been true at the time.
The fact remains, however, that three
months afterwards the affectionate
one half devoured native child. The
neighborhood of Abedeh, Mr.. G.. in
formed me, swarms with these animals.

Death Of Mr.. Geo. v. Strong, Jr.

Death Of Mr. Geo. v. Strong, Jr.
It was a great shock to his many
friends here yesterday to receive
the sad intelligence that Mr.. Geo.
V. Strong, Jr., son of Judge George
V. Strong, of this city, had died
suddenly in Rocky Mount yester-
day morning. It was a great sur
prise as Mr.. Strong was here a few
days ago apparently as we'll as
usual. He had been at Rocky
Mount for several days where he
recently purchased hardware busi
ness, and lis brother, Mr.. Bober
Strong, of this city, has beer
there with him assisting il
taking an inventory. For five o.
six years past Mr.. Strong has beer
travelling in the interest of tn
hardware firm of Giles and Muir
Gibson, of Wilmington, and prior t.
that time he was for several years
salesman in the store of Mr.. Juliu
Lewis, of this city. Recently b
decided to embark in business fo
himself at Rocky Mount.
MIR. Str rong was thirty-two year
of age and was we'll known and ha
a host of friends in our midst, a
we'll as throughout the State. 81
was kind, courteous, even-tempere
and generous to fault, honorabl
and a true friend In every sense {
the word, and the news of his VI
timely taking off brings pain an
sadness to many hearts.
MIR. Strong leaves q young vii
and little child, who are now
this city. He was married abol
two years ago to Miss Sallie Smit
daughter of Mr.. Alexander Smit
of Rocky Mount, and niece of MI
| F. II. Busbee, of this city.
The remains were brought to tn
city last night on the Ills trai
via Goldsboro, and the funeral wi
take place this afternoon at S.;
o'clock from the Church of Il
Good Shepherd.
