1t Was Not Reese.

The story of the capture of
Reese in Arizona turns out to be
another fleeing vision of that 81, =
600 reward. O. p. Bishop, the
man who wrote the governor that
he chad 'em" etc, now writes
Sheriff Logan that it was ali a
mistake. 1t developed that the
man suspected as being Reese,
has been in Arizona for several
years, and that he is a drinking
man, while Reese was not. The
tendency of that 81, 900 reward is
to make suspicious characters out
OF almost any two strangers; but
the request of the sheriff for
photographs is test that usually
punctures the bubb e.-York

ing a while at Southern Pines. \.
Z. A report reaches here that
the benighted tarheels, when thew

he was Gen. Shafter and bowed

that he is humoring the joke and
is telling great tales of his heroism
and valor at Santiago. Capt.
Chafee will have good time
wherever he goes.
Capt. Chafee will spend week

the ever present subject-the
weather, to fur nish them some
thing to discuss. Nearly all agree
the weather since Christmas has
been the worst they have ever
experienced. Hail, sleet, snow

a little sunshine, generally with
less, that gives our farmers any
thing else than cheerful look.
They have made but. little prepa
ration for planting, although the
time of year for putting the seed
in the ground is here. The grass
and young leaves arc lightning to

Our gardens are very much be
hind in early vegetables. Some
have the early plants up, but
many have not even planted the
seed. We have not heard of anv
of our farmers planting any corn

little unusual, but is explained by
the late wet spring.
The cotton acreage will be less
this spring than last, but our
farmers are using about the same
quantity of commercial fertilizers.
they used last year. Corn and
forage crops will he increased.
This is very wise in them. The
amount of corn and hay they will
have to buy this spring to run
their farms will tax them heavily
and should teach Thorn to make
an extra effort to raise these sap
plies on their farms.

Pictures Galore.

Just a word about those
pictures we have been talk
ing about. 1t is not. a lob
lot of those cheap factory
pictures put up in cheaper
frames at $I.oS per square
yard. If that is what you
are looking for, don't take
the trouble to see ours.
They are not chromos, they
are ART. We can't put a
$o Copley in a six dollar
frame and sell it tor $I.o5
at a profit. But we can save
you money by having them
framed by the hundred. Let
us say just what we have
done. We selected one
hundred of the choicest
prints from three of the lar
gest art publishers in Amer
lea, The Copley Print Co.
of Boston, c. Klackner Of
New York, and The Lon
don Art Co. We sent them
to the best art dealers in
Denver to be framed in the
latest styles without regard
to cost. We are surprised
at their reasonableness in
price. In Denver you would
have to pay from IS to 20
per cent. additional for the
: identical pictures. This is
enough and too much. See
the pictures and see for
yourself.

widely known as one of the most
prominent railroad attorneys in the
United States, and who has large in
terests in many important enterprises.
Mr.. Petit is a mining engineer by
profession, graduate of Lehigh uni
versary, and has already been en-
trusted with mining work of consider
able Importance. Besides his personal
qualifications Mr.. Petit possesses
large and valuable connections with
monied men in the East and will un-
doubtedly be able to aid mater tally in
the growth of that interest in mining
investments which the wonderful out
put Of Cripple Creek has caused to
spring up in the minds of eastern pso-
