How One Man Employs His Hirsute
Appendage to Advantage.

Upon the first thought and perhaps even
after one has evolved the question care

But they are wrong, as the folio wing
case OF an old artist will show. By .old
artist is not meant a genius like Harnet,
Angelo, or men of that class, but a paint

the quantity of hair which sprouts from his

This gentleman, 1t is said, has won
many wager on his beard, which is of
such great length that he is compelled to
wear 1t underneath his vest. No one ever
sees the hirsute growth, except when he

a saloon and get into conversation with
some of the customers there has become a

After she had caught her breath she asked
If Justice Schenkel was in. She was told
that the justice was In his courtroom.
Giving her prisoner a jerk she entered the
courtroom and said:
II am woman, judge, but no man Shall

moments ago, when 1 was passing down
Light street, near Lee street. He approached
me and insulted me. / looked for police

DEATHS FOLLOW FUNERALS.


Reform In Burial Customs Is Urged
by an Undertaken.
One of the leading undertakers of this city
told me recently that within the next iii.
teen years the burial customs of the country Y
will be entirely changed. He said that
among other reforms the custom OF follow.
ing the remains to the cemetery would be
done away with.
He said the uudertakers had been trying
In silent way for years to bring about
certain funeral reforms. and that before
long the matter would he publicly dis
cussed and the reforms put Into practice
so far as was within the power of the
undertakers.
He says that statistics show that q very
large numer of deaths result each year
from the custom of following the remains
to the cemetery. Invalids and persons
weak and broken by grief are taken out In
all kinds of weather to go to the grave, and
then the exposure in the bleak cemetery
while the services are being held at the
grave frequently causes the mourners Sc
rious Illness.
There are many other matters which my
friend did not care to talk about in con.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO JUS
TTCE AVERY.

We learn that in the Harvard Law
School, where the students devote most
of their time to the study of cases de
cided in the Appellate Courts of Eng
land and of the various States of the
United States, the opinions of Justice
Avery, ia Gwaltney vs. Land Co, and
Commissioners vs Lumber Co, have
been selected as the leading authority
upon the use OF the smaller streams as
highways fer floating logs. The doc
trine, for which Justice Avery contend
ed, was not at first conceded 10y our own
court to be corr ct, though it was ulti-
matoly fully approved. The sanction
of the learned men who conduct the law
department at Harvard is disinterest-
ed tribute to him from a high source.

"My food does me no good you say Then

COMING TO NORTH CAROLINA,

Two years ago, upon his retirement
from the gubernatorial chair, Governor
Northern was made Commissioner OF
immigration for the State of Georgia,
with a salary larger than that paid the
Governor, and gives as large fund as
necessary to prosecute the work OF secur-
ing immigrants to Georgia. Il was the
best days work ever done by that State,
as the purchase of large body of land
by G. A. r. camp, whose members VIII
make Southern Georgia their home,
abundantly proves.
North Carolina has been most un"lse
in not doing likewise. whenever any
effort has been made to secure settlers,
so small a piitance has been appropria.

it w:.s forced to join it with some scheme
that necessa.il lily narrowed its scope II
some man of great ability could be IN
duced to devote all his energies to ad-
vertising North Carolina, securing set
tiers, the State could afford to pay him
a bigger salary than is received by any
public officer in the State.
Conditions are ripe for bringing folks
with brain, money and muscle into the
State. The Legislature ought to have
made the Atlanta Exposition the occa-
sion for a vigorous advertising of the
State, and followed it up by the active
efforts of commissioner whose
ability ard character would have
secured the co, operation of every pro-
gressiye man in the State. But, in spite
of the penny wise and ponnd toollshs
policy pursued, the eyes of prospective
settlers are turned towards North Car

engaged in colony movement in Col

becoming weary Of that northern climate
and would gladly come South He says
that Colorado is still suffering from the
general depression and adds;
"That the South has bright future
in store for it goes without saying.

Mr.. Hilton further says that a com
mittee will be sent from Colorado to
North Carolina this winter to make in
vestigations if cheap transportation can
be obtained. He suggests that it would
be well for the farmers of the South to
divide their land into small tracts, which,
in addition to low prices, easy terms and
low rates of interest, are among the
prominent features that induce immi-
