SUCCESS.
The late P. T. Barnum was a keen student of human
nature. as well as a natural humorist, and nothing which
set forth human traits that were odd or amusing escaped
his attention. He was very fond of telling stories of in
'cidents that brought out features in human character
one of which. that delighted him immensely, was con-
nected with the Siamcse twins.
When he was exhibiting those Oriental freaks, the
press Of the country made them widely known, and they
became very soon one of his best drawing-cards.
One day there came to see them a back-country rus
tic, who was perfectly absorbed in them, and inuuisitiye
enough in regard 20 them to require almost a bureau of
information to answer his innumerable questions. Mr..
Barnum happened to be the one questioned, and he was
asked their age, occupation. original home, whether they
were single or married. their weight and stature, and
their religious belief. Nothing. at any rate. was too trivial
or irrelevant. which the rustic thought of, all of which
interested the Snowman intensely.
Finally. the bucolic visitor started slowly, but re;uc-
family. to leave; but after walking away a few steps he
returned and said, with the most solemn simplicity:
They are brothers I presume?'

NOW FOR THE WINTER COURSES.

1t is only slightly month when the win
ter courses in agriculture and dairying will be
opened at the A. & M. College. These courses
are intended only for farmers. There are no en-
trance examinations. There is no tuition.
Everything is free to the farmers Of the State,
except board, room and fuel. The total cost for
these for the ten weeks is but thirty dollars. If
you wish to study your work; understand the soil
and how to fertilize and improve it; how to feed
and breed animals; how to make butter; how to
judge farm animals and farm crops; and to study
the various details of practical work on the farm
you ought to spend ten weeks at the farmers
college, You readily get away from home
during the winter months, and meeting with 9th
farmers and talking with them about our farm
problems, immense good will come to you and to
the agriculture of the State You better arrange
early for this course. Talk with friend or two
and see if you all can't come. If you have any
questions, write @. W. Burkett Raleigh, n c.,
and receive full particulars. Let's all be off to
the Winter Course.

A WORD TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

In sending out statements to our subscribers a
few weeks ago, clerk mixed things fearfully,
and some subscribers we're dunned for more thar
they owed, and others perhaps for less than they
owed-though naturally we haven't heard 50
much kicking from the latter class.
But the court of last resort in all such cases is
the date on your label. That shows when your
slime is out' and from this you may calculate the
amount due us.
1t is very important, if we are to continue the
improvements we have planned, that renewals be
sent in promptly. Wether or not, Mr. Delin-
quent, you have received a notice, and whether
or not the notice correct, look at the date on
the little red slip and send your renewal Let us
not start the year with an old debt be-
tween us.

Messrs. Editors: I enjoy your paper so much

[ appreciate It's editorial and comments upon cur

such edtOrs-editors who do not try to fool the
people; editors who are willing to tell the truth
though it hurts; editors who can appreciate
good thing, should it be advocated by one
of different political faith. I thank you for the
paper you gave US the last three months; in fact
/ have nearly ever admired the paper and it's edi-
tor. | wish your subscription could be quadru-

Cotton is fair crop where it had been properly
fertilized and worked. 1 planted eight acres in
cotton and shall gather eight fve-hundred pound
ing a tolerably good price. We sold last week
$1O2 worth of fair tobacco, and it cost five dol
lars to sell it. Does no one except warehouse
man know that the charge was excessive?
One popularity of the people of Pitt County is
their fondness for barbecue. In the village of
Farmville from three to five pigs, wei"hing from
thirty to seventy pounds gross, are sold every
Saturday. We get for these pigs eight cents per
pound live weight. Even at this Price our farm
ers are not able to supply the demand, and some
are shipped here from Richmond Va.
Hired labor is exceedingly scarce in these
parts. Every one wants to crop on shares. We
can scarcely get fire wood cut. But most of our
crops are housed, and it may be that there will
be some labor from now till Christmas.
