For more than eight years the Union

constantly paying to the insured them
selves, the full amounts of the face Of
their policies, for which they had paid
only the Ordinary Life Rates, Just the
same as they would have paid any OF
the other leading companies for policies
of the same amounts, to be paid only
at death We are thus giving Endow-
mert insurance at Ordinary Life-Rates
No other Company has done that,
The agents OF all Otner companies
said for many years after we first issued
these policies, about quarter of CEN.

that no company could give ENDow-

A Lesson for Boys
The Scientific american tells the fol-
lowing story

The Scientific american tells the fol-
lowing story
1.-The English sparows have proved
nuisance in the cotton country, for as
soon as the bolls open they pick out
the cotton and carry it off, and some
planters have lost, as they claim, hun
dreds Of pounds in this way. There is
one man, however, in Dewitt County.
saws the Galveston Nevs, that has not
lost much When he found the spar
rows were committing depredations he
procured a quantity Of wheat, soaked 1t
in sweetened whiskey and strewed it
along the rows. The sparrows found
it and thought they had picnic. So
they had. But in fifteen or twenty
English sparrows ever seen on the lace
Of the earth. They rolled about the
ground, falling on their sides and backs
and kicking their heels into the air like
a parcel Of dfunkards. all the while ut
tering the most comical squeaks. They
did not have long to squeak, however,
for the boys gathered them up and
threw them into bags. The first day
they gathered two bushels of drunken
sparrows Three or four days later the
experiment was repeated with almost
equal success, and from time TO time
since. They made excellent potple.
but the survivors have come to regard
the plantation as boodooed, for no.
very few come ABOUT 1t.
MORAL: Let boys and Young men
and older men make note that those
who tumble about on the ground and
do other incoherent things from the
effects of whiskev, are badly " hoodooed. "

DR.. Wood IN Washington.


CDR. w. r. Wood, superintendent Of
the North Carolina Insane Asylum, was
in the city last week. He never was In
better spirits and seems to feel ten
years Younger now that he has laid
down the burden Of his position. Short
" after he took charge of the asylum
IN Raleigh be told me that he did not
intend long to hold the place, and that
a. soon as he could get it in good shape
and matters were running along
smoothly he intended to go back home
and. like all other Scotland Neck peo-
ME. he thinks there is no other place
50 desirable as a place of residence.
II half believe that DR.. Wood, who
is born politician if ever there was
one. and who loves politics az Coxey-
ito hates water. cannot bear for this
years campaign to be waged without
having a hand in it. And while lie
was anxious to get home and anxious
to Law down the burden of his Office, he
hankered after his old love. He will
give bis neighbors good physic when
they are sick in body and give them
good politics when they are threatened
With the Populist jauidice. l hope he
will come down in time to treat the

A noe N THE wELL.-A few nights
ago Mr.. Jas. l.. HARRIS, foreman OF
| r4E DEMOCRAT Office, was aroused at
the sleepy hour Of II o'clock by some
unaccountable noise in the back yard
Upon investigation be found that a
| dog seemed to be IN trouble somewhere
on the premises, but where was the dog?
Muffied whines and snappish growls
could be heard but where was the dog
After some further investigation 1t was
| found that the dog was In the we'll.
Then another question came up-hOw
could the dog be gotten out? A rope
was let down with slip-noose, as an
experiment, and to the surprise of the
manipulator at the upper end it caught
the dog the first trial and he was
quickly drawn up. Then there was
another question to settle-how could
the dog be loosed without his snap
ping some one? His dogship, howey-
submitted to being loosed and scamper-
ed away with sigh of relief, and the
printer man returned to his slumbers.
A member of the family who was away
that night returned early next morn
ing and drawing some water and wash
ing his face before any one thought to
tell him of the accident he remarked
that the water had 'dogged" strange
smell.
