FRANK HEGE TO BE IN CHARGE.
Poultry Division at the N. G. Ex-
pertinent Station.


A letter to THE SENTINEL from Mr..
III. B. Battle, director, says that the
North Carolina Agricultural Expert
ment Station has added another di-
vision to the several already in oper-
alton, which will be known as the
Poultry Division. Among the specific
studies for this division will be first
to ascertain the best breeds of poultry
which can be recommended for differ
ent sections of the State, how to raise
them economically, including the best
treatment for diseases and insects,
and how TO prepare and ship to
market all poultry products. 1t will
be the endeayOr to foster the industry
IN North Carolina so that profitable
and financially paying business may
be 1naugurated liz any locality or on
any farm. AS but little capital is re-
quired, the returns for the invest
ment should always be large.
The Station proposes to publish
educational bulletins to bring the
matter before the attention of the
people of the State, and to extend
such knowledge to all who raise
poultry, as would be of benefit in the
management, preparation, and ship
ment to market.
The poultry manager in charge of
the Poultry Division of the Expert
ment Station will be Mr.. f. e Hege
now of the Riverside poultry farm of
Newbern. He will enter upon his
work on Dec. 1st on the farm Of the
Station adjoining the State Fair
grounds.
The raising of poultry and poultry
products for market lin North Caro-
lina) is susceptible to great extension,
and the new departure by the Station
will without doubt contribute largely
to that end and will prove conse-
quently of great and far reaching
value.

Fun With Peanuts.

Inc Oice.
A peanut hunt is lots of fun for an
evening party. The hostess hides
peanuts in all sorts of queer places
about the room, sometimes putting
two or three nuts in the same place.
Then she provides each of her guests
with a little basket tied with gay
ribbons, and then the ''hunt" begins.
Sometimes a march is played and
the hunters must keep step to the
music, stopping when it stops, and
starting again when it starts. After
u certain time the finds are COM
pared. The one who has the largest
number wins the first prize, while the
"booby" prize is fttiDgly awarded
to the one having the fewest.
Some other trials that are great
sport are often introduced One is
to see who can carry the most pea
nuts in one hand from one table to
another. A boy ought to win this.
Forty-two is a good number.

An Excellent Undertaking

Manufacturers Record.
A number of Northern clergymen
and laymen of several Protestant
denominations are perfecting plan
that will result in the esta ablishment
OF a permanent settlement some
where in the Blue Ridge region of
North Carolina that will be conduct
ed much on the plan of Ocean Grove,
New Jersey. This plan was suggest
ed 10y Rev. John c. Collins, secretary
of the National Association of
Christian Workers, who saw the
necessity for a resort to which clergy
men and others engaged in Christian
or benevolent work, and all persons
of limited incomes who needed rest
amid congenial surroundings in a
health inspiring location, might go,
either for a permanent or tempo
rary residence. After considerable
travel and investigation Mr.. Collins
concluded that the North Carolina
mountains offered the best sites for
such settlement, and he therefore
secured options in suitable localities,
then presented his scheme to mum
Der ot friends, who at once promised
him their hearty and Jealous coop
GRAFTON.
The plan is to purchase quite a
number of thousand acres in one
body, to lay out in its centre small
town plat, and to rent the lots in it
at a nominal price for ninetynine
years to persons who will build upon
and otherwise improve them, to
establish churches and schools,
furnish water and gas or electricity
and other modern conven;ences of
small cities, and in every way to
make it a comfortable, attractive
place for quiet home loving Christian
people.

ANOTHER ROMANTIC MARRIAGE
A Lcxin gton Couple Join Hearts and
Hands at 1:3O A. M.

A Lcxin gton Couple Join Hearts and
Hands at 4 80 A. M.
Lexington had a romantic marriage
Oct. 23rd. The event was celebrated
at a rather unusual hour, 1:30 a. m.
Mr. F. A. Cross and Miss Emma Kan
oy are the names of the parties who
fooled the old folks.
The parents of the young lady OBJ
jected very strongly to the match, but,
as the sequel proves, this didn't have
any weight with the young people.
The young lady attended church
Tuesday night and retired at the
usual hour with her sister. But some
time in the ''wee sma' hours" of the
night she arose very quietly, raised
the window and stepped out to meet
her lover, who had already procured
the necessary license, and who was
patiently waiting near her home.
They drove to the home of Esquire
John FL. Meyer, who performed the
ceremony and sent them on their way
rejoicing. When the sister of the
young lady aWoke yesterday morning
an open window told the entire story,
and questions and inquiries were un-
necessary.

Berries and Iocusts.

The one thing that strikes the visi
tor to the country now is the Immense
crop of black gum berries and the old
fashioned honey locusts. The trees
are everywhere bending under their
loads Of fruit. There is also a large
crop OF persimmons which are already
beginning to get mellow and sweet.
Locusts added to the simmons
improves the beer wonderfully. We
may also look for immense flocks oi
robins in their season. They will stuI
over to get the berries. 'Possums are
getting ripe and 'taters are getting
sweet. Good times "a cOmin'."

Orders by Railway Commission.

The Railway Commission issued an
order Tuesday that on and after the
18th of next November all railways
doing business in North Carolina
shall, in addition to the regu-
lar bell cord, have an alarm cord,
running entirely through all the
train. Another order was issued
changing the freight classifications so
that cabbages, Irish potatatoes and
sweet patatoes are in the sixth instead
of the third class. This is TO allow
the cheap shipment of cabbages East
and potatoes West. The commission
also directs that depots be built on
the Norfolk and Carolina railroad at
Palmyra, and at Saluda,on the South
ern railway.

ANOTHER DULL WEEK.

Manufacturers.

The Southern Tobacco Journal for
last week says:
The Winston loose leaf market was
dull again this week, for the drought is
unbroken. Moreover there is no imme-
diate prospect of rain, and the weather
prognosticators do not venture to
promise US any soon. Occasionally ap-
paer clouds and raise hopes, and then
vanish without leaking so much as a
single drop to remind US what rain
looks like.
The October business is the lightest
known here in many years. There is
plenty Of tobacco to market and the
planters are anxious to sell, and under
favorable conditions our warehouses
would be crowded. The heaviest kind
Of breaks will follow good ''season."
The offerings of the week did not
differ in character from those here for
some time past. Prices are steady.
Shipments OF manufactured tobac-
co continue good. The month will
show an increase over that Of last
year.
