REMARKABLE FREAK OF ANIMAL NATURE
Cow Reputed to Have Given Birth
to RI Calves Within "a Hours,

The GOLD LEAF is not much given
to producing freak. Of nature or pub
fishing stories which have shady
appearance about them. but il has one
now. 1t is a most remarkable freak
| OF animal nature the like OF which We
have never heard before. And I'M
| reasonable as it may seem the truth
| fulnsss OF the occurrence seems we'll
authenticated, and there appears 10
be no reason to doubt it, The cir
cumstances as reported to IL. are these:
| On the night OF Novemb Der goth cow
belonging to William Harris. colored,
| who lives on the Rufus Falkner place
few miles from town, gave birth to
calf. Said calf was fully developed
| and lived until it was two wseks old.
| and probably but for lack of proper
attention it would not have died then.
The next ri ght this same COW gave
birth to 80 more calves, ranging in
size from rats to rabbits. Most of
them were not larger than rats or
squirrels with bodies imperfectly
formed. A few of the larger ones,
however, were perfectly formed with
head and feet plainly distinguishing
the kind Of animal it was. Some of
these had life when first born and
struggled about as if trying to get up
and walk. The cow was all night in
giving birth to them and died soon
afterward.
This story is vouched for by Will
liam Harris, who owned the COW, and
Rufus Scales, both Of whom we have
talked with. They refer also to Alex
Harris, Will. Harris and June Aston,
all coored.
Mr.. A. H. Ball furnished milk
for the surviving calf up to the time
it died and the circumstances a.
above related were told to him i'm
msdiately afterward. He vouches
for the character of old man William
Harris, whom he has known for IS
years, and says that for truth and
honesty it i. good-he would trust
him as fully as any man he knows
white or black. Mr.. Peter Falk-
ner says the same. He was told
of the occurrence the next morning
and went over to see about it, but the
dogs had dragged off and destroyed
the .:litter'' of calves during the night
SO that he saw nothing, but all with
whom he talked told the same story
of the remarkable occurrence.
When asked why they did not save
the things and bring them to town
next day SO that they could be pre-
served in alcohol and sent to some
museum of natural history the reply
was. negro like, they did not think of
anything like that, and supposing
they were of no account they were
thrown over the fence in a pile and
the dogs soon made way with them.
We are asked if we believe this
story. Our answer is that under the
circumstances we have no comment
to make, although the whole thing
looks contrary to animal nature,
especially of the bovine kind. 1t is a
case for the scientists and to them the
GOLD LEAF leaves it with the desire to
know if a similar case is on record.

date jewelers..

One must see their stock to appreci-
ate it's artistic nature and extent. 1t
is safe to say that nc such line OF
goods was ever before seen in Hen
dsrson. There is everything to be
found in a tirst-class, up-to-date
iewelry store, displayed in the most
attractive manner, the selections
ranging from the most common place
articles to the finest diamonds.
Gold and silver watches, chains,
charms, collar and cuff buttons, shirt
studs, etc, for the gentlemen, are in
abundance. and all sorts of jewelry
for the ladies, embracing watches,
chains. breast pins, ear rings.
brooches, necklaces, finger rings-in
fact everything in the line of useful
and ornamental articles in gold and
silver for the feminine sex. Then
there are useful as we'll as ornamental
articles for the household, such as
silverware, cut glass. French and
American clocks in brass, nickel
bronze and gold. In fact Hight & Co.
handle really meritOrious class OF
goods, varied in character and artis-
tically displayed, such a. to command
the patronage and attention Of the
most exacting and discriminating.
and their place of business is well
worth a visit whether you wish to
buy or not.
Aside from the excellent and varied
stock carried by this progressive and
up to-date firm, the artistic and effsc-
tive arrangement of same is worthy
of mention. Mes.rs. Hight & Co.
have just put in a lot Of new show
cases, made especially to order, for
the better and mere effective display
of their goods and these together with
some recent changes and improve
ments on the inside give their place
Of business very city like and more
pleasing appearance. Hight & Cos
store is not only credit to the pro-
prietors but an ornament to the
town.
The new show cases to which refer
ence is made above were manufactured
by Reinle Brothers & Salmon, of
Baltimore, and a better Job would be
difficult to execute. They are of oak,
and were made from designs furnish
ed by Mr.. f. f. Hight, senior member
of the firm, than which nothing more
need be said of their perfection and
completeness for the purposes desired
Mr.. Hight is a man of fine taste and
discriminating Judgment and whether
as workman, selecter Of goods or dis
player of same he has no superior in
these parts. Nor is that all, he is an
honest and reliable dealer in whom
the public have implicit confidence.
Whatever Edgar Hight says goes with
those who know him In other words
it has become common acceptation
that if you buy it of Hight it is all
right.

REV. j. D. BUNDY,
Complimentary References to the
New Pastor Of the Henderson Metho-
dist Episcopal Church.

The Weldon Ne1os says this of Rev.
j. d. Bundv, who is to succeed Rev.
Nj. II. futile as pastor Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in Henderson:
There was genuine sorrow, not only
among the Methodists but among the
people OF Weldon generally, when it was
learned that Rev. J d. Bundy, who has
served the church here so faithfully and
well, had been transferred to Henderson,
Mr.. Bundy is q splendid preacher, a good
pastor aud during his stay in our midst
he has made many friends. Heis popular
with all classes Of people. We believe
that no pastor has been more earnest in
the work OF building up the church and
IabOring for the salvation Of the uncon-
vert"d Of the town. The Weldon people
submit 10 the decree OF the conference,
but give up Their pastor with reluctance.
In going to HENDERSON We recognize the
TACT that he goes to broader field, and
among noble people TO whom We most
heartily commend him.

Why They Failed to "Show" Up.

The Deemster Company failed to
till their engagement to appear at
Cooper Opera House Monday night.
The cause is thus stated by the
Greensboro Record Of Monday after
noon:
The Deemster Company advertised to
appear at the Grand last Saturday night
did not give Il performance. There were
only ten or twelve people in the house by
the time thecurtain was supposed to rise
The steady doWnpour OF rain through
the afternoon and evening was probably
partly responsible for the slim attendance.
The Deemster Company has had streak
OF tough luck lately and the company is
stranded. Two or three of the castpuled
out yesterday for the North and the
Others will follow.
In the mean time Manager Aronson
is out Of pocket several dollars, actual
expenses incurred, to say nothing of
what he might have been in had the
company filled their engagement to
appear at Cooper Opera House Mon
day night according to contract.
