Postmaster-General 1t is the GUS
tom of the Post Office DEPARTMENT
to mail checks to various fourth
class post-oflices once each quarter,
and ut the end of July the usual
batch of checks was made out. 1t
was then discovered that Frank
Lynch, who carries the mail be-
tween Dodgevslle, Wisconsin, and
Mineral Point, nine miles away, had
not received check In the three
previous quarters and hence il be-
came necessary to include the amount
for years work in his check. The
amount was exactly one cent, and
as our currency does not boast OF
quarter-cent pieces, Mr.. Lynch was
unable Ia collect his salary quarterly
and il will be- another year before he
gets his second check for one cent
curiosly collectors have offered him
~ much ~ twenty dollars for the
one cent check.
This remarkable contract with
the Government, 10 carry mail nine

About the Man Who CT as to Boss Fox
Townsb
The ScOuten pape as well Dem
ocratic papers are ha lg a terrible
time Just now about ''Salt Trust
1t seems somewhat .-..nge, does II
not, thav ''nuten folks, should just
at this time, so exercised about
the cost of salt? and yet there is
cause to be. 1t is said that Scouten's
boastful heeler, (who coldly claims to
have peculiarly made harness with
which he can pull the voters of Fox
township, and make them perform
as gracefully as ever did trained bear
for greasy Italian,) did not intend
taking the Salt River trip this fall.
He had planned differently. He
was sharp enough to know that he
would have something to do with
and water, but hoped to escape the
nauseous and expensive trip up the
well known river. Strange to re-
late! he found along about noon
on election day an "empty barreP'
in the vicinity of his head quarters
in Fox. This he took with him to
his home in the quiet valley up the
Loyal Sock. He then engaged the
Scouten slave he captured in Forks
Vile, after dark on election night, to
bring him water from a stagnant
pool of the "Sock." 1t was his
intention to souse himself every
twenty four hours, in the barrel
brought from Fox, after filling it
with Sock water and rock salt. By
these baths he hoped to escape the
Salt river trip, and to also keep the
three cents left from the Scouten
fund, for his very, very, own.
However it was clearly demonstrated
that several tons of salt would be
needed to keep this cute braggart
of the West from being fresh, and
on learning that the Salt Trust was
to be i'm control he feared the cost
would be too great, and so the Cute
Bold Boss of Fox has decided to
take the trip with the sly, upright
Boss of DushOre. 1t is to be hoped
that the managers of the Salt River
boat will be kind to these travellers,
for look! see! how near they came tc
carrying the United States fol
Bryan. But there stands on the
back porch an empty barrel, and Il
white slave treads the peaceful street,
of Forksville bleating for his master

Writing to the Asheville Citizen of his
visit to Raleigh to attend the recent
meeting of City Superintendent. Mr.. j..
d. Eggleston, Jr., says:
81 was so busy attending the meetings
of the city superintendent that did
not have time to see Raleigh, except
from the Marlborough to the Centennial
school building. BY invitation of Presi-

the superintendent had the privilege of
inspecting the buildings and grounds and
of enjoying an excellent supper with the
genial Doctor as host. The belief eX-
pressed when DR.. Winston was elected
to the head of this institution, that he
would make it one of the leading factors
in the development of North Carolina and
one of the best institutions Of its kind IN
the entire country, was confirmed by this
visit. DR. Winston is seer, and l rare
