Now and Then is Relished by the

1t is rumored that r. J. Reynolds
has been invited to deliver an address
before a New England college on
1.-THE influence of Modern Thought
on the Manufacture of Tobacco"
There is said to be a politician in
Winston who sometimes mistakes the
ponderosity of his stomach for intel
lectual development. In consequence
whereof he took some headache pow
ders when suffering from indigestion.

The Blair family are sometimes
confused by men who call each one
prof" One way to avoid this is to
Blair; another Superintendent Blair,
and the third Prof. Blair.
Winston is one of the few towns in
America where people can get Justice
in a bookstore. Most people go to
court only to find that part of their
money has gone to the lawyers.

In Thompson's drugstore are num-
Der of gold fish. A Third Party silver
man went in Tuesday and scraped the
gold from one of them.
A popularity about Ashcraft &
Owens drugstore is that it enters up
on two streets. A Mr.. Blank is fire.
quently observed to walk from one
street to the other by way of the store.
One day Blank was asked why he
used the store for street. He replied
that he was liable to catch cold from
the drafts around the Wachovia bank.
In the neighborhood of Constable
Harris there is a feeling that Judge
Whitaker is good deal of crank.
Some say that the Whitaker is the
only man 10 the State who could enter
an insane asylum as inmate and be-
come superintendent.

A Bear in stokes County.

Mrs. Wall, of Stokes county, is re-
ported to have had a thrilling and ex-
citing experience with bear few
nights ago. She and her two little
children, while on their way to a
neighbours house after dark, were
sayagely attacked by a young bear and
nearly frightened out of their wits.
Mrs. Wallis only weapon of defense
was lantern which she desperately
used oyer bruins head-sueceeding in
holding him at bay until the children
could escape to the nearby neighbours
house. Then Mrs. Wall beat hasty
retreat and succeeded in reaching her
neighbours house and closing the door.
The bear tried to effect an entrance
into the house but was finally scared
off by a shot from a small gun which
one of the boys had. The male mem
bers of the family were from home
and the women and children spent a
miserable night momentarily expect
ing another attack from the bear
Next morning trail of blood was
discovered showing that the brute
had been wounded by tho gun shot.

SKELETONS IN OTHER CLOSETS.
Prominent misunderstanding Women
Receive a Letter of Warning


| LEXINGTON, KY, June I2.-It has
| leaked out here that six of the promi-
nent ladies of this city who took a
!, leading part in the nti-Breckinridge
protest at the Opera House here sew
eral weeks ago have been warned,
through a letter mailed from Pitts
burg, Pa, that there are skeletons
in their Closets and that they could
not afford to take part in such a ''de-
testable proceeding against Colonel
Breckenridge
The letter was sent to Judge Dur
ham (the address being Mrs. Durham),
Mrs. Judge Morton, Mrs. A. M. Harri-
son and three others. 1t was sent
from Lexington to the Pittsburg post
master, with the request that he re-
mail it to Lexington as addressed.
The postmaster wrote across the top
of the letters, ssent from Lexington,
with the request to be mailed here"
The ladies refuse to allow the letter
to be published, since they attach no
inslgniffcance to it. One of them
said: "Well, we know the hand-writ-
ing, but we can't blame him for doing
all IN his power for Col. Breckenridge,
though it be done in ever so mean a
manner. The letter will have no eff
fect. We know our husbands pretty
well, and such threats are beneath
our notice."
W. B. Corbin, of Georgetown, a per-
sonal friend of w. @. Owens, was here
to whip Col. Breckinridge's son,
Desha. He looked for young Breckin-
ridge, but, failing TO find him, wrote
card for publication in Lexington
paper, in which he asserted that
Desha had manufactured a number of
lies printed about Owens. In a recent
interview Desha said that Owens
was by nature a coward, by instinct
traitor, by practice liar and by pro-
fession a gambler. Young Breckin-
ridge comes from fighting stock on
his mothers side, but his friends say
he must not fight the Georgetown
man unless he is first attacked.

Invaded by Chinch Bugs.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 12.-The
chinch bug is proving serious mat
ter with the farmers of Illinois, TWEEN
ty-four counties being now depredat-
ed by the pest. The outbreak began
in February, 1892, in the Southern
part of the State. At that time eight
counties were infested, and eighteen
other counties were mentioned in
which the bug was reported in unusual
numbers. This attack increased dur
ing 1893, and this spring the bugs
swarmed from their winter quarters
in numbers sufficient to do great mis-
chief.

suits were almost marvellous in the

monia succeeding La Grippe. Terri

learning from it that he is safely
through the hardships and dangers of
an Arctic winter The letter which
we received from him last week is so
long that we can publish only about a
third of it this week. The remainder
will appear next week and the week
after. The installment given this
week relates experiences that were
touched upon in the letter to his
mother which we published several
weeks ago; but so many more new de-
tails are given i'm this letter that it is
practically new story. The worst,
at least we hope it is the wOrst,-Of
the long and perilous journey was
over when this was written, and we
look forward now with certainty to
receiving telegram early in October
announcing the safe arrival of our ex-
plOrer at San Francisco. 1t will be a
glad day for all his friends when it
comes.

There was genuine grief in the
hearts of all lola people at the Fair
grounds last Saturday when the 4th
heat was called i'm the pacing race
was called up, and Col. Bruce did
not respond. The old horse had made
a game fight, and for q time had
shown some o: his old time fine and
speed. But he "cOuldn't hold the
clip" The pace was too fast for him
and he fell farther and farther behind
each heat, until finally there was no
use trying any more. There was
something pathetic in the idea of the
fine old horse, after all his brave
struggle, going slowly and with head
dropping, to the stables and staying
there, although the starters bell CAL
led and called.
For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of
Bay City, Mich, accidentally spilled

The supply of suckers seems never
to run out. And they bite at the old
bate, world without end. That is the
strange thing about it. \ man drove
up under the REGISTER windows
Wednesday and made the ancient
and familiar announcement that he
was there to advertise for a jewelry
house and that he had jewelry and
money to give away in doing it. He
began by selling pair of cuff buttons
for quarter. After dispOsing of a
dozen or so pairs of these, he called all
those who had bought up to the
wagon and gave them their quarter
and "a nicle or a dime to boot, and let
them keep the buttons. He then an
nOunced that his next "clasS" was Il
lot of watch chains. "These chains
are not worth % cents, actual value"
he said, "but my price is Sl.OO. Now
is there a man here who has the moral
courage to give me S1.OO for one OF
these chains?' He found about 80
men i'm less than many minutes who
had the, requisite courage and cash.
When convinced that the suckers
were all caught he said: Gentlemen,
step right this way, want to make
you present. Here is good lead
pencil. | want you to take it and
write long letter to the Elgin Watch
Company and tell them how the metal
i'm those chains wearsr' And then he
drove away while the crowd except
the suckers yelled hugely. He had
not cheated anybody. He had simply
taught lot of men that it is never
safe to bet on another mans game
and the lesson was cheap at the price
he charged.
