 The report then shows small in- debtedness on the part of Circuit Clerk and Sheriff, which have since been settled.
 The report also says:
 After a careful examination into the expenses and revenue of the county, we find that something will have to be done to reduce the ex- penses or raise the revenue, or the county will never get out of debt; in fact, taking thelast year as an exam- pie, in which our expenses exceed our revenues by about $S,000, we will be further in debt every year.
 Here statement is filed showing the complete expenditure and revenue of tn. county from October, 1888, to October, 1894, which also shows a gradual increase In expenditures and a gradual decrease in revenue, and the report also recommends a closer economy on the part of ali county sf- ficers. 2
 The report continues:
 sYou will see by our statement that the expenses of the county for the years October l. 1888, to October l, 1894, were only $33, ,305.5s. This was the year before commencing to improve the court house, and for the year October l, 1889. to October l. 1890, leaving out the amount paid on cour. house, was only $3G, ,405. .4G, and for the year October l, 1892, to OctO- Der l, 1895, the first year after the court house and jail were completed the expense was $53 ,17J.13; and for the past year. October l 1894, to Oc- tober l. 1894, 1t was $59, ,S15. .2s. You see, here is an increase from $20, ,0OO to $26, 900 in about three years time We fully realize the fact that the ex- penses should besome larger, but we fail to find why there should be such an enormous increase
 You will observe that our Circuit Court expenses have jumped from $12, ,S13. .S6 in the year October, 1888, to October, 1890, to $20,9G02 g in tho year October, 1885, to October, 1894 amounting to an increase of $S, l56 .42 This may have been unavoidable, but we hope our Honorable Circuit Judge will do his utmost to reduce this expense when he sees the great necessity for so doing.
 We also feel it our duty to call the attention of our taxpayers to tn. amount of money paid out in collect | ing county resources and road i'm provement. We do not think thu county gets value received nn either fund. You will also observe an in crease in contingent expenses. Real izing the fact that our Honorabl, County Judge can reduce these ant other general expenses of the county we would most respectfully ask hin to also exert all of his ability to d. so. and let us see that instead of tn fconnty being $8,000 deeper in debt a

Aristotle was the first author to write
upon ornithology, 3s5 years before
Christ. He says in his preface that he
had predecessors, but admits with sor-
row that they were men who did not
know enough to ache when they got

Aristotle referred casually to only ITO
varieties of birds and threw very little
light even on those. He found out that
they mostly laid eggs aud by the warmth

his work so poorly that after the lapse
of more than 1000 years over 20 OF the

This leads US TO speak Of the buzzard,

lar bill, which bends from the base and Is
not notched. IL resembles the eagle
and falcon In size, but has q peculiar

resem bling that OF cat whose feet
have been incased in paper overshoes.
The buzzard Is lacking Ia courage. He
has q bearing very much like that OF a

his breath is favored differently.
The buzzard measures about four

symmetrical. But when he Is nalf

A speaker who has planned an ad-

told in connection with former presi-
dent OF the University OF North Caro-
lima.
One day, as this dignified and stately
parsonage was walking about the cam
pus, he observed an unlawful assem-.
biage OF students at some little distance.
He did NOT hasten his steps, but pro-
ceeded slowly toward them with his
head down and his eyes apparently bent
in contemplation of his own boots.
When this leisurely proceeding had
brought him TO the spot where the
students had been gathered, only one
young man remained, the Others having
precipitately departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary cuiprit with APP
parent severity, although the young
man always contended that he detected
a twinkle in his keen eyes.

certainly was, the young man executed
IL to the best OF his ability by dis
persing" without further delay.
