Gen. John 3. Gordon Dead.

Gen. John B. Gordon, in recent
years the most noted of all living
Confederates, died at Miami, Fla,
at 10 o'clock Saturday night, 9th.
He was 70 years old, and had served
as Governor and United States SEN
ator from Georgia.
From the close of the war General
Gordon put forth every effort to
bring about harmonious relations
between the North and South. He
never spoke a bitter word against
the North. He was commander-in-
chief of the Confederate Veterans
organization for many years, and
whenever he presided at meetings of
the organization he was greeted with
great enthusiasm.

VALUABLE BOOK ON TOBACCO
CULTURE.

Mr.. Isaiah Carver, who is justly
entitled to the distinction of being
n of the most successful tobacco
growers in Eastern oNrth Carolina,
and who for several years has caused
many growers in Nash County to
marvel at his success, will soon place
before the farmers of this and adj
joining counties a booklet in which
he tells of his success and the rules
he observes in cultivating tobacco.
The views and treatise on this ques-
ton by Mr.. Carver are vastly differ
ent from those generally adhered to
by most growers and we must say,
embody the essentials in the produc-
ton of a profitable crop. The work
is To- in the hands of the printers
and will be issued about January 1st.
The same will be a valuable book of
information for tobacco growers

A Danger to Be Guarded Against.

The cottonseed oil industry has
greatly injured the raising of the
staple by consuming the first and
best seed and leaving the farmers the
poor seed in the last pickings of in
ferior cotton for planting purposes.
This has resulted in deteriorated
plant, smaller bolls and shorted f.
Der, greatly reducing thereby the to-
tai yield in pounds per acre. There
is need of more intelligence in the
farming operations.-Asheville Citi-

A LESSON IN ADVERTISING.

In their 1904 calendar just receiv-
ed, N. W. Aver & Son have adhered
to their popular conception of a bus
mess calendar, but have changed the
design and coloring. The size is the
same, about fourteen by twenty
eight inches, with large readable
dates, but the clay modelled design
printed in sepia tints, gives more
prominence to their well-known mot
to, Excepting Everlastingly At 1t
Brings Success" not a bad thing,
by the way, for business people, and
most other people, to have before
them throughout the year.
Requests for this calendar ad-
dressed to their Philadelphia office,
accompanied by twenty-five cents to
cover cost and postage, will be taken
care of for the present. Last year
the supply lasted barely ten days.

On Murder.

"Boeeaccio" is a comic opera in
three acts. written by that king OF

Suppe. 1t is replete with harmony and
comic situations, and stands at the
head of lyric comedy drama, with a
fine story and clever lyrics. In select
ing 'Boccaccio" for its closing bill. the
olympia management feels sure of
leaving a good impression in Astoria.
which win insure 1t warm welcome
when It returns next season.
The story Of "Boccaccio" is, briefly,
as follows:
Boccaccio. d poet, who lived in Flor
ence during the fourteenth century. set
the entire city crazy with his charac-
teriSations of many OF the leading cit
izens in a ridiculous book of poems,
portraying graphically their political
rottenness and pet sins to such an ex-
tent that finally the citizens gathered
in a mob. determined to either kill or
Danish the author from the city, Their
endeavors to do this give rise to many
ridiculous mistakes. as none of them
had ever seen Boccaccio. so every
stranger they met was at once set
upon and beaten with clubs and
stones.
The part Of Boccaccio win be inter-
preted by Miss Lottie Kendall. which
gives her fine opportunity. both VOC
ally and dramatically. Mr.. Carrack
Major, the baritone of the company,
and who did not appear in "olivette,
will be seen as Leouetto, and Miss
Therese Barker, the character con-
tralto. who was not in the bill last
night. win play the part of Perouella.
All three comedians are In the cast of
sBoccaccio." Mr. John Young. who
made such hit last night as CO.
