DR.. J. F.. Miller telephones the
Argus from the Asylum that the
bridge cross Little river near the
Asylum is In d dangerous condi-
ton on account of the freshet in
the river, and he advises people
not to attempt to- cross the bridge

The report comes from the
coast around Morehead City that
beach Robin and woodcock in
great droves abound down there.
And In consequence several of our
local s%portsmen, with guns and
dogs, took the A. d N. G. train
this afternoon for the scene.
Another evidence that Colds
boro is indeed a full-hedged
modern city, is the fact that many
OF our citizens are now in the
midst of deep perplexities over
frozen and ''busted" water pipes,
and the plumbers are in clover:
not the clover that grows in the
spring, but, fguratively Speaking,
financial clover.
Ghe hunters were out yesterday
and to-day In large numbers, and
the robbins and rabbits Jared
rough. There are a great many
robbins in evidence, all around
town and they are even more
plentiful in the country. The
poor rabbit. cannot cover up his
tracks, and his hiding place is
easily traced.

There has beensvery few coun-
try people in town SO far this
week. There Is nothing coming in
town except an occasional STRAY
loat of wood. which is Aold with
out an effort at the price asked
As an evidence of the scarcity OF
business transactions Mr.. Geo. G..
Kesnega.y, the register of deeds,
says that his Office took in only 90
cents on Monday and Tuesday, 10
cents each day, and up to a late
hour to-day the receipts were not

The city authorities are doing
all in thetr. power to furnish wood
to those not able to buy it. Chief
Freeman says it is very probable
that the city will have plenty of
wood Tomorrow to supply all
who need it. : This is one Of the
