THE STOUT OLD LADY AND THE MAN.

He rushed into the car,
The crowded car, and ere
The stcut old lady who
Had dropped her fare
Recovered it he took the only seat
That had been vacant there.
She grabbed q strap and stood
Bcfore him, while
The car lurcied on and on,
Mile after mile.
She looked down at him, and
He gazed away.
He sat; she had to stand.
There's more to say.
The scene has changed: maiden fair
Plays lightly on sweet guitar;
Her cheeks are red, and on her breast
A bunch Of fragrant roses are.
He comes at last; she greets him and
Then leads him where
Her mamma waits. half buried In
Her easy chair.
A stout old lady glances up;
lie bows, and then
They both remember how and when
They met before!
Diyerging ways,
N'sad good night;
1t sometimes pays
To he polite.

A SONG IN WINTER.

Blackbird, whistling cheerily,
Hhistling from leafess tree,
Through the mist your notes are ringing,
Though no other bird is singing,
And the wind walls drearily.
Needless Of December gloom,
Though the flowers no longer bloom,
Though forever gone the glory
OF the year that, gaunt and hoary,
Totters TO his snowy tomb,
Still your message, full Of slee,
Echoes from your lcafess tree:
''Summer's coming. summers coming,
With song Of lark and wild bees humming,
With blossoms bright for you and me!
$780," you sing, "the poets lay
Should, like mine, be blithe and gay,
Ever breathing balm for sorrows,
Still foretellng happy morrows,
Spite Of cloudy skies today"

JUDAS OUTCOME.

The Asheville Gazette which recent
ly sold itself to the Republicans, has
itself put down in n. w. Ayers news
paper annual as Democratic paper.
Commenting on this fact the Ashe-
Vile Citizen says:
ut requires more and more varie-
gated language than The Citizen has
at it's command to discuss this sort of
business. When a paper is ashamed
of it's politics, ashamed to wear the
badge of the party that supports it.,
ashamed to carry the party name OF
it's boss, and lives only by stealing the
name of another party-well, as we
said before, 1T requires more and more
varegated language than The Citi-
zen has at it's command to discuss the
matter.

went and hanged himself. Benedict
Arnold betrayed his country, and

breeches and name. How cheap
Judas and Arnold must feel when
they hear that the Gazette, Pritchard' S
organ of negro domination, has be-
trayed the party it once represented
and is ashamed of the party to which
it has gone! But as we said before,
it requires flow and variety of Ian
guage greater than The Citizen has
to discuss such depth of infamy."

NEW INDEPENDENT LINE.

The purchasers of the narrow guage
road from Chester, S. c., to Lenoir, n.
c., have perfected plans for convert
ing the road into standard guage and
of extending it to Cranberry or Noun
tain City, Tenn, distance of about
sixty miles. This would put the coal
mines and cotton fields close together,
and result in cheaper coal to the fac
tories in many manufacturing towns
in North Carolina. Mr.. Barber says
that the owners of this road are lin
no way interested in any railroad
company operating in either North or
South Carolina" This assurance will
guarantee the benefits of cheaper coal
to practically all the central and
southern sections of the State. 1t will
develop one of the finest and richest
sections of North Carolina, and means
much for the State.

Broke Off the Smokestack.
tTarboro Southerner.)

The steamer Tarboro met with an ac
cident yesterday afternoon, on her u =
down the river, that came near being very
serious. When several hundred yards from
the draw, the steamer gave the usual
signal that she wished to pass through.
At this time there were on the bridge
several people. AS the draw did not op"n
the steamer gave a second signal.
About this time some one OIL the bridge
gave signal that the captain understood
to be to come on. Down the stream came
the steamer, and when within ii few yards
of the bridge. the captain seeing that it
would be impossible to pass under. at

wheel but it was of no avail for the cur
rent was too strong.
AS the steamer passed under the bridge
her smokestack struck and was completely
torn off. The whistle was also torn away,
and it looked for a few moments as If
something serious had happened. The
escaping steam and smoke caused panic
on the boat An examination proved af-
forwards that the damage was slight
Some body is to blame for this.

HEAD BETTER THAN HEELS.
Chatham Record.

On last Friday night there was a de-
bate at Vanderbilt University at Nash
vile, Tennessee, between two students OF
that institution and two students OF the
University of North Carolina, and the
latter were the victors.
Within the past three years there have
been five debates between the students
of our University and of the Universities
in other States, and our '"Tarheel'' boys
were the victors in four. This should be
very gratifying to every North CAROLYN
ian, as it certainly is SO very creditable
to our University. We feel much more
elated and gratified at these intellectual
and literary victories of our boys than at
their victories in games of base ball and
football.
