Remarkable Freak.

From the Charlotte News.
A child that the doctors consider in
the nature of a wonder, was born a
few days ago to Mr.. and Mrs. Grier, of
Long Creek. 1t has six perfectly
formed fingers on each hand, and six
toes on each foot. The extra toes and
fingers are perfectly developed and
shapely having the same bones and
movements as the others. DIR. Hen
derson, of Crofts, says that the child
is finely developed boy and thinks
the freak one of the most remarkable

pose there are about the same amount
of branch roads and cross roads which
are on the public list have also been
worked, which would make total of
778 miles in the county. The roads
have been kept up by convict labor
for the last four years and their con-
dition is 100 per cent. better than un-
der the old method. There has been
scarcely any free labor done on the
public roads in the last four years.
We have never done very much ma
cadamizing in this county yet. Have
just about finished up widening and
Strengthening up the roads to lawful
width. Still, we have great deal of
macadamiZing work where we have
cut down hills and made fills in low
bottom, but we expect to go to put
ting down macadamiZed road beds at
once when we can get the rocks, as we
are getting very well prepared for
work. We are now working about 60
men, daily. on the public roads, 8
mules and a road machine.

NOTE TO THE BRETHREN.

I have just returned from a trip to
Norfolk, Va, and I find that it pays
the farmer when shipping beef cattle
to only ship those in frst-class order
smoothe, well-fattened, stall fed cattle
and weighing 700 to 900 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight. There is
nothing that pays better than the extra
condition in which you can place your
cattle on the market. The market price
is low now, only d to 3 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va, but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. 1 wish also to say that our
brethren lose by sending very small
sized chickens to market. They
are hard to dispose of at a very
low price, while good, well grown
chickens are ready sale on a dull mar
ket at fair prices. Be ready for the
egg market which will open about the
1st of September next. Our Boston
house is anxious to handle eggs in car
load lots weekly. None but first class
eggs should be handled.

d, abuse of the Populists, one and all,
r. osnecialIy 1.-The leaders, took up
ts major part of his first two hours.
Mr. Kitchen began by replying to
II. Cook's structures and sneers at

s,bon he didn't want or was not seeking

the day.
The crowd was variously estimated
from 1000 to 5000. We think there
we're 2 500 people present, and judging
from the applause, it was pretty much
all one way. The applause of Kitchen
vastoo much for Mr.. Cooke, and in his

he administered to those who had

SPECIAL


Special attention is called to the fall
Price List of the Business Agency,
which will be ready for distribution
August 1st.
We believe that we now have the
best contracts for many classes OF
goods that we have ever had, and that
we will be able to offer to the brethren
almost every article they may want at
prices never before obtained. We will
give in addition to our usual list q dry
goods, notion, shoes, pants, etc., most
of which will be shipped out from Raj
eigh. Lot, numbers, descriptions and
prices will be given 80 that no n need
make a mistake. The pants we quote
are manufactured in Raleigh, giving
our own people ali the work. We have
40 different patterns to select from,
ranging in price from rs cents to 81 so
per pair. Our 50 90 is a regular 81 90
pants We can also have pants made
on special order.
Shoes quoted on this list will be kept
in stock In Raleigh and ready for quick
shipment, and prices quoted are f. o. b..
Raleigh.
Place orders for crimson clover seed
at once, as prices will probably ad
vance.
Those having produce to ship North
would do well to correspond with us
We think we can be of service to them.

DIRECTIONS
For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.

For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.
Killing and Dressing Food In crop
Injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour, and purchasers object to paying
for this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. All poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet-picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. As soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat.
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
Of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the incision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc, in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold % a
limited extent when Their is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it viii be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock In separate pack
ages. Ifyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate packageRr With
No. 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds In paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight, and g that the boxes are
so full that when the covers r nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 300 pounds. Larger boxes
are inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.

Cotton does not seem to come up to ex-
pectations; some shedding reported
and a little rust; upper part of plants
not as well boiled as the lower; cotton

DEAR BRETHREN The alliance Pro

ling of farm products. We do not
purchase your products but will sell
for you to the best advantage possible.
Write us what you have to sell and
will let you know about what we can
get for it. Eggs are higher here than
In New York and we have been getting
better prices. Think we will be able
to handle more and more as our plans
for putting only fresh eggs on market
become known. Poultry is in great
demand and we think for the next
three months if not all the summer it
will bring remunerative prices. Can
furnish shipping coops and simply
charge rent or sell them to you if de-
sired. We can handle bacon, lard,
fish, wheat, -four, corn, meal, potatoes,
sc. Prices are lower on all products
than they have been for years. We
have sent notice to all of our shippers
not to send any more eggs North for
the present as it does not pay. There
were more than 30, 900, 900 eggs sent
into New York last week. We will
try to handle all poultry and eggs
shipped here to your advantage. Do
not send eggs by express unless rates
