The death of Dundy Williams,
aged sc years, occurred at his
home in this city Friday night.
The funeral was held Sunday
from the colored Baptist church
and was largely attended. His wife,
Caroline, and several grown chill
dren survive him. He was one of
the "old school" Of negroes and
was greatly esteemed by all who
knew him. He had been a member
of the Missionary Baptist church
for so years.
The "Vienna Bakery" Of this
city has been purchased by the
Messrs. Deans brothers, two young
men of wide popularity and splen-
did business qualifications, and
will henceforth be conducted under
the firm name Of "W. A. Deans
Sons" thereby perpetuatlng the
name Of their late reverend father.
The fact that these young gentle>
men have taken hold of this bak-
cry means that it will be a perma-
nency and a success.
Mr.. Albert Uzzell, the popular
young gentleman who has been
filling a position in the National
Bank of this city, was last week
unanimously elected cashier OF
the Bank of Beaufort, just organ

not a game that invites betting,
nor is it a sport that is ended in a

Set For the Wrong Time.

He works in n down town office for
n gruff old chap who has no love for
laggards. He is due at sharp, but
as he likes to be out o. nights he never
wakes up n moment too soon. He has
an alarm clock, which he sets ut 4.
and this gives him barely time to
dress. breakfast and reach the office.
One day last week, the man having
forgotten TO wind his clock the night
before. it didn't go off. So there were
explanations to be made about $50 a.
m. This was the excuse:
"Well. you see. Mr.. Gruff, l know
how punctual you like all of your men
10 be, so / have an alarm clock, which

Bull batting.

Although bull batting was a cruel
pastime, it was also a fulfilling of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading of the animal in n fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In a similar belief the flesh of a
hunted hare was thought to be superior
in flavor to that of one that had been
shot, and a present of "a hunted hare"
was considered to be n special compli-
ment. In the records of the corpora
ton of Leicester. England. the follow
ing order appears: AT common hall,
held on Thursday before st. Simon and
st. Jude, 1867, mo butcher to kill a bull

How to Lie when Sleeping.

The correct posture for sleep is to lie
on the right side with the limbs stretch
ed out to their full length and the arms
either straight down by the body or in
any comfortable position, provided they
are not raised above the head. The
mouth should be closed, and all the
muscles of the body should be relaxed.
The lungs work with greater delib-
GRAFTON during the hours of sleep, and
if the arms are raised above the head
at this time and for any period the ac-
ton of the heart drives the blood away
from the arms and sends it to the head,
frequently making one very restless
when it does not prevent sleep entirely.

PRETTY IRISH GIRLS.
why the Lasses of the Emerald Isle
Are Beautiful.

The Irish peasant girls have long
been famous for their beautiful, clear
skins and healthy compilations. They
owe much of their loneliness to the
moisture OF the climate and the sim
plicity of their lives. Plain. wholesome
fare and rainwater for the wash basin
tell their own tale. No matter how
homely are the features of the genuine
peasant girl, her skin is almost invaria-
bly, soft and firm. the arms nicely
rounded, the eyes brilliant and express
i've.
There are no eyes finer than those of
the healthy daughter of Erin's isle
Soft and tender one moment. to flash

gray or brown. the Irish eye is pecul-
iarly lovely and possesses a luster all
its own. Long lashes shadow these be-
witching Orbs-lasbes that curl upward
to sweep the cheek when the face is
betrayed into bushes.
So much time is spent out of doors
that the feet, usually bare, become en-
larged. The ankle, however. is usually
well shaped and neat, the instep high
and the skin of baby fineness. The
Irish girl of humble station is proud
of her shapely feet and believes that
walking through the grass before sun
rise in summer enhances their beauty,
which. of course, il does.
No need to powder that fair skin-it
owes its peachy bloom to health. happi-
ness and the freedom of outdoor life;
no need to resort to the rouge pot-the
roses are there hard and fast, natures
own coloring. The hands may be rough
by hard work, not diminutive. but
shapely; the hair FURNISHED and often
uxuriant.-London Answers.

Races and q Dog Show-wln Be the Best.
The state fair commission has been
organized for the year with ]. M. Bax-
ter, president; T. B. Gum, secretary:
Joel Shoemaker, assistant secretary and
A. b. Weed, treasurer. The board con-
sists of the officers and w. L. Melon
aid of Tacoma and A. j. Splawn of Yak
ina county. The fair will be held Sep
TENDER 80 to October 5. The poultry
department will be under the manage
ment OF Harry H. Collier of Tacoma.
Other superintendent have not been
selected. The premium list will be much
larger and better than ever before.
Special inducements will be made to
the individual farmer to get out speci-
mems of fruits, vegetables and farm pro-
ducts.
The commission has decided to make
up purse of 5000 for farm exhibits
from the several counties This will be
divided into first prize of $500, second
5000 and third 800. Every county in
the state will be asked to participate in
the exhibits of agricultural and horti-
cultural products for these preiums. In
addition to these grand offers a purse of
800 will be offered for the best display
of farm products by grower. This will
be divided into three premiums OF 500,
$50 and $40. Special inducements will
be made for displays of potatoes and
onions OF the different varieties. The
fruit interests will be cared for in a
similar manner.
Two races, a 2:2O pace and 2:3O trot,
will be advertised to close entries OH
June 3. These will be for purses of
81 900 each and if properly filled will
become part OF the weeks entertain
ment. The races are arranged so the
horsemen practically pay for them so
that this class Of sporting will be plen-
tiful. The prizes for the exhibition Of
horses, cattle and sheep will be double
what have been paid in the past. A
dairy contest for purse of 500 is
among the attractions for those interest
ed in this industry. The creamery and
dairy products will have better recogni-
ton than ever before.
A dog show will be added to the at
fractions. For this purpose new
building will be erected. The grand
stand is to be enlarged to accommodate
the people. The ladies' department will
be made much more attractive by add
ing many new features and Offering
much better premiums. The new COM
mission has started in with the inten-
ton OF making the greatest fair ever
held in the northwest. Everything is
favorable to this end and with the CO.
operation Of the people there is no rea-
son why it should not be complete
success. The people of Yakima county
are particularly interested and should
be at work making preparations for the
exhibits and entertaining the visitors.
