Fare, Indeedi

From the London Answers.
 The tramway was new to the village, and, on the whole, the villagers did not take kindly to the innovation It offened their ideas of tidiness, for theirs is the model village of all Cheshire.
 However, 1t went to the neighboring town, and a certain old dame pocketed her pride so far one fine morning as to get in to the train. She was destined to receive a rude shock, however. The conductor de- manded her fare.
 Fare, is it?' said the old lady indig- nantly. Well, young man, all I can say is as you've seen the last day I ever polish your blessed lines, choose who does it!''
 She had ''blackleaded' the tramway lines in front of her cottage every morn- ing.

ICOMMUNICATED
THE CITY COUNCIL.


Ga Tuesday evening there was a
called meeting of the City Council, to act
on some of the most important business
of the year aud a special communication
from the Mayor to be received. The
Council had almost full attendance but
the Big s did not have a quorum, con-
seuuently no session could be held. 1t
is funny that on trifing matters Coun'
Gil always has a full attendance but,
when a vital question comes up, why
the weather is too warm, or some peo-
pie who are 10 town all day have to
disappear at night TO get some cool
breezes, etc. The voters are thinking
10 this town and thinking strong. As II
looks to the casual outsider after a
second reading it may be stated that q
commissioner from each ward, with the
Mayor instead of the present Council,
would be far more desirable than a
"Bull Head" Council. MEMO.

RED SHIRTS AWE A SENAToR.--Red
shirts up the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad were on the look
out for Senator Marion Butler, who
was advertised to speak at Will
lard, N. c., few miles from
Rose Hill, where the registrar trial
demonstration occurred Wednesday.
He did not come, but sent h. B. Davis,
secretary Of the State populist execu-
tive ommittee, who spoke to about
seventy FIVE populists. At Warsaw an
especially large crowd of red shirts
we're in waiting for Butler, and tele-
grams we're received in Wilmington
asking If white men at Wilmington
would back them up by giving Butler
a thrashing. They wsre advised that
they would. When Davis was found
on the train instead OF Butler their
wrath was turned against him and IL
was only by the strongest efforts OF the
conservatives that they were restrain
ed from maltreatiDg Davis. Senator
Boiler, who Is fighting for Bryan and
against the amendment, is afraid to
speak in the eastern counties OF North
Carolina. He has been warned not to
go 10 some places, the feeling between
the opposing forces being very bitter.
