February Number to Contain Tales Of the

correspondence OF T Progressive Farmer.
The February number of The
North Carolina Booklet will contain
''The Tales of the Cape Fear Block
ade," by Mr. James Sprunt, of Will
mington. This booklet is written in
Mr.. sprunt's best style and presents
a vivid, realistic picture of the
South's great period of ''storm and
stress"
It will be remembered that Will
mington was especially noted as the
very heart of that vital intercourse
between the Confederate States and
foreign countries, an intercourse
which depended almost wholly upon
the heroic 'tpluck" and dauntless
courage of the BLOCKADE runners, :"
who in the face of greatest dangers,
despite tnnumerable losses, brought
through the vigilantly guarded chan

and clothing for the soldiers, the
cotton cards and medicines for the
women at home and supplies of all
kinds. But from the beginning,
long after all other ports in the
South were closed, until within a
few months of Lees surrender, Will
mington kept her gates open, and
through them the very bones and
blood of the C~onfederaoy flowed into
the war-ridden South.
This booklet contains much of his
torioal interest never before pub
lished, and will be of inestimable
value to the whole South.
All special orders should be sent in
at once, as the first edition has al
ready exhausted, a second partially
disposed of, and there will be no

1 knew a little boy who used to
perform this trick very successfully.
He had a bright young rooster, of
which he was very fond, and which
he often brought into the house.
He would hold the rooster on his
lap, and with a piece of chalk draw
lines from the tip of it's bill to the
back of it's neck, pressing very
lightly with the chalk.
At first the rooster would appear
sleepy, and then would nod it's head
very drowsily, and finally to all ap-
pearanoes go fast asleep.
If put upon the floor the rooster
would remain standing, but with it's
eyes fast closed. Then the little
boy would bring a light near to the
ROSTERS eyes, and it would stretch
it's neck and GROW a great many
times, as if the sun were just coming
up, although it's eyes we're closed all
the time.
Then this young mesmerist would
lightly tap the ROSTERS bill and
spurs with a lead pencil. The roos-
ter would Immediately rufae his
neck feathers, flap his wings, thrust
his spurs and go through all the
motions of a furious fight.
He would keep this up until stop
ped by being lifted from the floor
and then set down again.
When the little boy would give the
usual call which summoned the
chickens TO their meals the rooster
would try his best TO pick holes in
the floor, thinking he was making a
fine meal of corn. If a few pieces
of grass were against his face and
some buttons dropped upon his toes
he would scratch away at a great
rate, as if doing his best to destroy a
garden. Doesn't it cen surprising
that a rooster should have such an
imagination?
The rooster was awakened by
stroking the feathers on the top of
his head backward and then giving
him a slight jolt and setting him
upon his feet.
1t is curious that the more he was
mesmerized the easier it became,
and the more things he would do.
And it did not hurt him in the least.
He grew so large and handsome that
he was finally cold for a fancy price.

When we got ter de place, nobody
said a word, but went ter diggin'

WHAT WOMEN ARE TO wEAR-ADvANCE
SPRING FASHION NOTES.

The first early blouses made in
wash materials for this spring + in
pique, crash, drilling and the heavier
cotton and linen fabrics, in white
and oolors.
A new material for blouses-new
of course only for this purpose-is
poplin. It comes in a lovely line of
colorings, and with it's rather heavy
cords does not require much trim
ming beyond plaits.
The use of ribbon as a trimming
and a garniture for ali kinds of
gowns seems to have taken a new
lease of life, and it is introduced in
one way or another upon countless
gowns and bodioes.
Homespun, which was so popular
during the past season, will be much
more worn this spring. 1t is a partiou-
larly nice material, being light in
weight and shedding the dust easily,
besides having most excellent ''stay-
ing qualities" Thenew weaves show
a g~lossiness of surface new in home
spun.
For s~oftness of tone the new colors
have never been surpassed. Ecru,
ranging from the palest biscuit shade,
bids fair to be more fashionable than
ever, which is high praise indeed. In
cloth materials this ooloring will
