High Point Enterprise: One day
this week $50 pairs of frog legs were
received here and put on the market.
They were sent from Minneapolis,
Mimi, where a man carries on a frog
farm. This lot was disposed of but
we would not advise the shipper to
try the experiment very often.
It is a singular fact that three of
the four candidates for Governor of
North Carolina are Baptists. Still
more singular does it appear when
We recall that the State has not had
d Baptist governor for fifty years.
In fact, we believe it is asserted that
we have neveN had a Baptist gov
ernOr.
The session of last week is the
first time in 20 years that the North

precious memory, and the road was
sOld.-Statesville Landmark.

His work in this State was one of
great value. He prepared the re
ports on the iron ores of North Caro-
lima, and also the report on mona
ute.

Charlotte Observer: We chroni-
Gle with unfeigned sorrow the death
Of Capt. John Baxter caves, which
occurred yesterday at his home in
rutherford county. He was a man
OF ability and of moral worth. He
served with conspicuous gallantry in
the Confederate army and yer since
the war had been a Republican. His
