The strawberry Beetle.
For The MeSsenger.)

We notice in The Messenger of April!
18th that the berry growers at Teach
ey's are alarmed at the attack of the
strawberry beetle on their blooms, and
ask tina if any one knows how the pest
can be destroyed they would confer Il
favor by dropping a line to The Mes
zenger. We do not know how to de-
gtrey them. but we do know that they
rarely ever cut the blooms that have no
pollen in them. and we think the bes-
plan would be to plant imperfect
boomers or plants that have no pollen
in the bloom. and only plant enough
perfect boomers with them to properly
fertilize them. We think the best vart-
oy Of imperfect boomers is Dixie Belle,

this variety. and we have seen the ber-
res On it two seasons; it is well worth

G~oldsoboro, ". c.. April Il.
David c. Oadum. OF Greene county,
is in the city today attending court. He
attracts attention wherever he goes
because he claims to be 81 years old
and does not look over go. He was born
in Mexico among the Indians. His
mother was a full blocded Indian and
his father was an Irishman- People
who have seen the old man are dispos-
ed to think hat h is mistaken about
his age. His eyes are bright and his
step is still elastic. and he is remarkd-
ably we'll preserved. He fought in he
xic war and exhibits many scar.
he received on the battlefield. He
was left on the field with a
hole through his breast, to die. but he
fooled them all and got we'll. He enlist
ed in the regular army before the late
war and went through the var receiv-
ing many wounds. He claims 10 have
a son 63 years old. He is an interesting
character and can tell blood curdlinZ
stories.
The police arrested two negroes on the
street last night who claim to hail from
Kinston. They both have wounds on
their heads. which, they say, were made
by a colOred brakeman or the freight
lidAl ch WHICH, lilty iOue " lIlS Guy.
They gave their names as John Hol-

Mr.. Samuel Cohn. a butcher Of this
city. who with his son Max, TWO horses
and a buggy fell into Stems mill pond
yesterday on account of the bridge Civ
ing away. died this morning at 5
o'clock at the home of DR.. j. B. Ken
nedy, where he was carried soon after
the accident. His death was caused
from conclusion of the brain. He was
never conscious after the fall. The
count commissioners are being criti-
cised for allowing the bridge to remain
in such an unsafe condition. Mr.. Cohn
was a very fieshy man and his weight
caused the fall to produce such a fatal
result. He was about 65 years of age
and had been in the butcher business in
Goldsboro for the past thirty years. He
leaves a wife and several children to
mourn his death.
Governor Aycock and superintendent
Joyner passed through Goldsboro on the
early train this morning going to La
Grange. where they made educational
speeches today.
