London. Nov. S.-Thc Berlin core spondent of the Morning Post tele- graphs an anecdote from the Frankfort Gazette to the effect that while En- peror William and pr. won Siemeas were lunchiDg todgether last year. the King of Wurtemburg being. present the conversation turned to the Trans Vaal and the emperor observed that hc was at d loss to understand the enthuS- iasm all over Germany in behalf of the Boers. and asked what the reason was.
 Dr. won SieGnens replied that the req son was simple. The enthusiasm was so intense because the women and chil- cren were for the Boers. That was the case with his own family. and it was probably the same everywhere.
 The emperor slapped Dr. von s5iemens on the knee and saiG: You're right. Siemens. It's the case in my family also. The enthusiasm for the Boers emanates from our wives. Like the rest. mine can scarcely wait every morning for the newspapers bringing news Of Boer victories in South Africa

His receipts from berries, canteloupes,

farm were over $4,000 The land has

rich that it would easily yield a bale Of

profitable The county road runs

the roadway being splendidly fenced on
either side. The acreage devoted -

The orchards are cultivated in oats,
which is a fertilizer as we'll as a food

There are some fourteen mercantile es-

mense trucking interests done here, con-
siderable business is done annually.
The population is about 300, ard
every citizen is a neighbor. Indee l.,
but for the fact of these being a mu-
nicipal government. / would prefer 10
speak of Faison as a village, rather
than a town where family ties are
such as to link one home with the other.
The people are generous to a fault, Gull
tured and refined
DR.. John Nj. Faison rules with Dig
nifty and ability as her chief executive
head The board of aldermen look well
to the keeping of the streets, and care
fully into sanitary conditions. No live
stock, such as hogs or cattle are per-
mitted to run at large, and the mis-
chievous flea neither hops so high, nor
jumps so far in an effort to disturb the
lounger or passer by as in days of yore.
Faison has a splendid school, Meth
odist, Presbyterian and Episcopal
churches, and her people have high
regard for the Christian religion.
The town was named in honor of
Henrique Faison, one of HngenOt
Colony that scattered after landing on
the Virginia coast, who came and To-
Gated here. Mr.. Henrique Faisoa.
was the great grand father of DR.. T..
M. Faison, the present mayor.
Here resides Col. Isham r. Faison,
who enjoys q continuous residence Of
Il years, Faison being his birth place.
Every one in these parts knows Col.
Faison. For years his landed interests
have been immense. With most of her
citizens he is known as Uncle Isham, or
Cousin Isham. He has lent encourage
ment to many here, has seen many boys
and girls growing up from the prattling
babe to a splendid citizenship, taking
prominent part in the affairs of State
and in home circle of this and other
communities.
Faison is twenty miles south of Colds
boro. and sixty miles north of Will
mington, in the Atlantic Coast Line

Tt may be truly said any crop can
be successfully grown. The soil is
adapted to the growth of cotton, corn,
tobacco, potatoes peas, beans, cabbage
