The "lluckleberry crop in
North Carolina is very large. 1t
is announced as a fact that in
Duplin county it is worth double
as much as any cotton crop ever
grown i'll that county. Can that
be truee Sampson blues are
abundant, too. We heard the
sheriff of Davie county Isay at
Mocksville in 1870, that but for
the blackberry crop in that coun-
ty the people could not have paid
their taxes.-Wil. Messenger.

Senator Sherman is very ell
phatic in his assertion that he is
not a candidate for the Presiden-
tial nomination, as he says that
he would not accept the place if
all the people IN the United
States should join together and
offer it to him. The old gentle
man has passed the period of
three score and ten allotted to
man, and as the position is one
OF wear and tear he thinks that
an active man should fill it

papers in the State-Rale1gh

II one of the worlds most re-
nowned artists could float upon
the sparkling bosom of Edenton
Bay at eventide, and with brush
transfer the historic town OF
Edenton to canvas, a more PIC
tu-esque and lovely scene could
hardly be imagined. But then
that would be only a scene upon
which the eye might feast, and
would not reflect to the outside
world her advantages as did the
recent Trade Issue of the FISH
ERMAN & FARMER. This issue
of which we speak places the
town and its people before the
public, and is destined to adj
vance its interests as nothing
else could have done We have
always known Editor Mitchell
to be a live man, and this his
latest effort, must be fully ap-
preciated by Edenton and Eas

the town, and the editor, Brother
Mitchell, he being an Edenton
boy. Some of our fondest recol>
lections cling around the old
town. 1t is a good old town, and
is found in the history Of the
State. No town in Carolina can
beat it in natural advantages. 1t
has been forging ahead IN the
last few years in industrial ems
terprises, and is destined to &C
complish fal greater things. We
wish the town and the FISHER
MAN & FARMER much success.

OUTLETS AND ONION SAUCE,

The Preparation of q Dish That ID Very
Palatable.
There is an undoubted prejudice
against onions still existing in country
districts. French cookery has largely
rooted out this prejudice in the cities,
and many city housewives do not at
tempt their soup or meat braizes and
stews without a little of the flavor OF
the onion. Most croquettes and minces
OF meat and other made meat dishes
require this among the many favors
OF herb and vegetable which go to
making them perfect. In all these
dishes the onion is used sparingly, and
does not assert itself as it does in
soublse sauces and onion soup, of
which it is a component part. The
onion is n of the most wholesome
and valuable vegetables we have, and
1t is an ignorant prejudice that has 80
largely prohibited it's use in general
cookery. For outlets with soubise
sauce egg bread crumbs and fry in
boiling fat six nice outlets. Those
taken from the shoulder and neck are
juicy and inexpensive. Be careful to
trim them if they are lamb or mutton,
removing all the fat you can, especial.

the fat that often imparts a strong
flavor. To prepare the soubise or on

throw off the water, put them into q
mixture of half water and half milk,
and let them cook for a quarter OF an
hour longer, or until they are soft
enough to mash through a colander.

Mr.. Emmons jumped out of bed. In
putting on his shoes he sat down on q
fash yf electricity that lifted him
nearly to the ceiling. Meanwhile out
side occasional flashes of dead black
ness could be perceived as the vivid
glare subsidized momentarily, while. SO
great was the conclusion of the boom
ing thunder that the clapboards tapped
loosely against the sides of the house,
Great Scott! this is pretty tough"
exclaimed the farmer. 'I'll bet all the
cream is turned sour. Wonder what
time it is"
In order to find out he opened his
watch, which, to his extreme disgust,
emitted two brilliant flashes and
stopped short. Downstairs he hurried,
surrounded by little telegraphic dots
and dashes of b%rilliancy, until he
reached the p%arlor. There he struck a
match on the wall, and the wall inn
mediately struck back, sending the
match flying through the air. At
tempts at making light were superfiu-
Gus, however, as there was a regular
electric light plant all over the place.
In the glow the clock stood out con-
spicuous, but it had little information
to impart, because it's hands were re-
volving backward at a speed of about
a mile a minute. Ali the metal orna-

selves tightly to the crate, and the
tongs, andirons and other implements,
gathered in a mad embrace, were
jigging spasmodically round the
room. Now, Mr.. Emmous is used to
thunderstorms. but this worried him
slittle. Instead of abating, the storm
seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Now in these days it comes to pass
that l was ruther somewhat too previous
in givin it out that Aunt Nancy Newton
had went the way Of all human flesh.
Her brother Andrew Jim come by with
the wagons the other day. He brought

what she had to say:
PANTHER CREEK, October, 1895.
"Dere Rufus: The weather has been
so pleasant, and everybody so busy or
SO sick, till l couldn't find no way to git
off a visitin. Chills and fevers are goin
about thick and terrible in the settle
ment now, and you know how handy
these plain old women are in case of
sickness. The men folks talk big and
act big and feel big, AMI think they are
runnin of the country, whilst one sick
baby is about ten times too many for a
cow pen full of 'em. 1t has been clost
about two years now since / give it out
as my own personal private opinion that
the third party was the devil come in
new suit of sheep clothes to raise a
fresh rumpus on the earth, and after
that old man Rip Davis wouldn't speak
to me when W met in the big road.
But the chiils and feyers broke out in
his family. His wife was first took
down, and then the children tumbled
over one by one till finally at last he
was the onlyest one left up and about.
And ont night last week here come old
man Rip bilin over to our house. What
was he after? Aunt Nancy, of course.
The whole family was sick abed and
the baby havin spasms, and in a
pushency like that Aunt Nancy was
somebody. To be certainly 1 went, and
l bad to stay and remain over there
three days and nights. They are all on
the mend now, and the next time we
meet in the big road I reckon maybe
old man Rip will be so kind, condescend-
in and obligin aeto say Good mornin,
Aunt Nancy
II can't say for certain when it will
be SO I can leave home on a visit. but in
the mainline l will live in hopes of
breakin bread with you along about
Thanksgivin. AUNT NANCY"

or possibly kills a man with a direct

how he was wrapped in a spiral of
