instructive conference. The con-
vention selected Goldsboro as

body Institute of Baltimore, says
that there are between twenty
and thirty varieties of mosqui-
toes, that only the female buzz
and bite, and that they get into
! Baltimore from swampS by riding
on hay wagons and freight trains.
The Professors theory is to the
mode of travel of mosquitoes may
do very we'll for those of Balti-
more, but there are places that
we know of where it is not at all

insects to travel in the manner
stated-where. in fact, they find
their victims without the neces-
sity of making an extended jour

PROF. J. It. Alderman and

chosen work. His hosts of
friends everywhere in North
Carolina will regret his depart

bride will take with them to their
new home the abiding good
wishes Of their wide circle of
relatives and intimate friends.

he afflicted and needy condition
of Mrs. Edna Carter. Scarcely
had the paper beer circulated
before inquiries and visits were
numerous at her home. Not all
went merely to express sympathy
and battle her fevered brow. but
there went those that placed
means at her command by which
she is free from want. And all
this is the work of woman-blest
be the name-Who has ever been
at the head of all humane institu.
tions, and who never turns a deaf
ear to charitable appeals. May
she never grow less beautiful
sympathetic and prominent, and
may the hand that rocks the
cradle continue to rule the world.
