Maj. Henry Perry, and to the Third
Regiment, North Carolina State Guard,
upon his election as Lieutenant Col
onel. 1t was a deserved promotion

capable, efficient and soldierly manner
and to the good Of the Third Regiment

A great many people, especially
those living in town where slops are
fed to hogs, make a mistake by throw
ing coffee grounds into their feed.
This is positively injurious to hogs
and should not under any circum-
stances be given them. Ifyour & house
pigs" have not thrived heretofore as
they should, ascertain whether or not
coffee grounds have been fed to them,
and il so stop it and see if you can
not lay the cause there.
An exchange APPLY remarks that
when you see a youth who will do any
sort Of work, no matter how mental it
may be, rather than be idle, you can
make up your mind that that fellow
amounts to something. The young man
who would starve before he would do
anything beneath what he conceiyes to
be his dignity is not made Of the right
stuff to cnt much Of a figure in this
world. Don't be afraid of any sort
of work so long as it is honorable.
