An Address to Edgecombe Farmers.

To the Farmers of Edgecombe
County:
In accordance with a resolution
unanimously adopted by Edgecombe
County Alliance. at its recent session,
we, the undersigned, were appointed
a committee to prepare and issue an
address to the farmers of Edgecombe
County calling their attention to the
great value and necessity of the Or
ganization of the farmers for mu-
tual benefit and protection.
The value of such an organization,
and the possibility of its achieve
ments, cannot be fully stated in an
address of this character, but we only
believe it necessary to direct atten-
ton to some of the great results
which have been ACCOMPLISHED with
In the past few months to arouse
and stimulate interest in an organl-
zation that has for it's object the
betterment of mankind mentally,
morally, socially and financially.
We believe that through thorough
organization the farmers would not
only be source of great power for
the correction of abuses. but would,
likewise, be the means of upbulldlng
agriculture, strengthening the bond

-,--.-- .---- letin.
Over the greater portion OF the
State farm work made favorable
progress and nearly all crons have
been laid by, although late corn and
cotton continue to receive cultlva-
ton. Caterpillars have appeared IN
some of the coast counties. and red
spider infests cotton in places while
lice on cotton have not entirely dis
apeared.
There are more numerous reDorts
than heretofore of serious shedding
of cotton squares, young bolls and
leaves, caused by both excessive rains
and drought, and in places by lice.
Rust seems to be spreading. and in
the north-central counties affects
whole fields. Cotton is deteriorating
most on sandy lands, and is doing
well on clay lands, where it has a
large weed, but in places is not well
fruited. A few localities report a
marked Improvement In cotton.
Early corn is nearly ripe, and is
not affected by the prevailing wealth
er, while young corn made a marked
Improvement in all sections and has
become promising. Tobacco curing
is well under way, with the early
crop poor, while late tobacco is much
better. Rice is doing well. Sugar
cane, sweet potatoes and gardens are
doing well generally. Weather un-
favorable for haying and fodder pull
ing in the coast counties, and con-
siderable hay was damaged after cut
ting by the heavy rains. Peas for
forage are doing well. Some turnips
| have been sown.

Enulish Silks.

English Silks.
There is no doubt about it that the
most elaborately plenished wardrobe
requires absolute simplicity as the
characteristic of some of it's details,
and this applies very emphatically to
the morning shirt. Smart though the
white lingerie one is, it is not always
desirable to wear it, and so there ar
rives an opportunity for the tailor
made model called the Gibson Girl,
with it's neatly stitched pleats and its
general air of practical utility.
There are being sold now some ex-
cellent English silks that wear very
well, and are not expensive
They should be made with a neck
band like that of a mans shirt, and a
deep white linen collar should be
worn with them, with little tie ar
ranged in a bow in front. Supposing
there should be in the possession of
the wearer a set of pretty studs and
cuff links, they should be brought into
instant requisiti0n.

Wolfe Is Lovely Fabric.

In the wool voiles every day brings
out new fancy effects, and more beau
tiful ones. Probably it is the exquis-
iteness of the seasons colors, their
softness, delicacy, adaptability, that
makes the materials seem more beau
tiful than ever before, but the designs
for weaving, embroidering and print
ing are certainly lovely.
Among the new fancy voiles are
some in fine checks. with little
squares woven in open work design
like large checks throughout the ma
terial. and over the surface at two
inch intervals are embroidered little
dots in the darker Of the two colors.
In delicate pinkish orange and white
this voile is indescribably charming.
Charming, too, is a creamy gray and
white voile of the same general plan,
but with. little flowers embroidered

A New Chocolate Cake.

Pound to a paste one-quarter of a
pound of sweet unpeeled almonds; !;
take the same amount of chocolate
and fresh butter, four very fresh eggs,
one-half pound powdered sugar and
three tablespoonfuls of sifted flour.
Melt the chocolate in as little water
as possible over slow fire, and when
it is reduced to a paste add the other
ingredients, with the exception of the
whites of the four eggs. Beat the
mixtures for couple Of minutes, then
butter a charlotte mold and stir in the
whites of the eggs, which have not
been previously beaten, merely stirred
vigorously. Fill the mold and bake in
a moderate oven for forty-five min
utes, until it reaches golden tint;
then turn it out and cover with choc-
olate icing.

You Can Pick and Choose.
It is one of the whims of the sea
son, the contrast of materials in
wraps and skirts. Silk Jackets with
cloth skirts and cloth jackets with
silk skirts are a feature at fashion
able assemblies, such as church wed
dings, afternoon receptions and mu
steals. The jackets are little Louis
affairs cut, almost to one, with
jaunty basques and elbow sleeves.
In linen suits the redingote is the
prime favorite, but the redingote OF
this year of grace has taken on many
shapes. There are the close fitting
the half-fitting, the blouse body, part
and full or plain basque, and even a
bolero effect hanging over a high
girdle. The redingote, were it a
talker, might admit as much con.
fusion as to it's real character as the
old woman of Mother Goose fame
who left it to her little dog to estah
lish her identity.

It is a brilliant scene under that
flaming June sun, rank after rank
moving up those rough slopes.
When will Pigot's men get a warn
ing from the farmers in the redoubt
that this is an invasion of American
sOl1?
The assaulting' column is within
twelve rods of the redoubt. but the
fowling pieces are silent. Ten rods
are reached, nine, eight, when sudden
ly there is death-hash all along the
line of the redoubt, and the assailants
waver. reel. halt, turn and there is a
rush down the hill.
Gen. Howe advances with his troops
toward the grass-stutfed rails, where
the Americans. under Stark and
Knowlton, are waiting for him. An
other death-f1ash along the American
line and the British wither before it
like the grass in the hot summer sun.
A second time the British are form
ing and coming up the hill. They near
the redoubt, they are within ten rods,
eight rods-six, when that volcano in
the redoubt pours out it's stream of
death. Again, the British retreat to
the foot of the hill.
On the left of the Americans, Howe
again leads his men, and again those
proud, scarlet lines are hopelessly
broken as they near the waiting force,
crouching in silence. It is only bar
ricade of grass, but it is like adamant.
1fpsof "a
it," some of the surviving British in
fantry will say Most of our grenad-
iers and light infantry, the moment of
presenting themselves lost three
fourths, and many nine-tenths of their
men. Some had only eight or nine
men in company left, some only
three, four or five."
There are two scenes, two assaults,
that have now been witnessed in that
American tragedy by the spectators
on the adjacent highlands, and every
available elevated point. They are
watching every detail as the curtain
of smoke from the battlefield and
from the burning houses and from the
consuming ships in their yards, shall
lift their folds and roll up against the
summer sky.
Gen. Burgoyne has said: 1.-THE
whole was complication of horror
and Importance beyond anything that
1t was sight for young soldier that
the longest service may not furnish
again.
Will the tragedy have it's third
scene, the battle it's third attack?
IF we drive them back once more" "
Prescott declares, "they cannot rally
again.
His men cry: I'VE are ready for the
redcoats again.
They are hot, they are hungry, they
are thirsty, they are weary, but their
huzzas enthusiastically ring along the
earthworks, as they applaud their
commander.
There is one appalling deficiency,
more serious than the want Of water
or rations, and that is the lack of am
munition. None has been received,
and the British are coming again.
Yes, there they are! Watch them
going up!
Gen. Howe wears white silk stock.

There go the Americans, their am.

one hill; they have gained name for
daring that decides a long struggle
just ahead.

Party Gown Of Linen.

Linen has lost none of its old-time
popularity, and will be one of the
most favored Of wash materials dur
ng the coming summer. A delight
hui suggestion for a gown of this Sort
follows: The skirt is perfectly plain,
1tting over the hips and flaring pref
lily from the knees. The blouse is
built on the surplice order and the
collar and crosspiece are heavily
stitched. Three wide tucks form a
round yoke, and a band Of narrow
Embroidery trims the collar and ex-
guimpe are allover embroidery, a
band Of the latter, set between two
rows of tucks, making the deep cuffs.
Sugared Sweet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are never better
than when cooked in the southern
style and baked with sugar. Boil and
peel the sweet potatoes and cut them
lehgthwise into slices. Arrange them
in layers in pudding dish, treating
each layer to butter and sugar in the
proportion of heaping tablespoonful
of butter and cup of sugar to each
quart of the potatoes. The sugar
should be of the moist, light-brown
variety. When the dish is full, with
bits of butter and sprinklings of sugar
for the top dressing, cover it and bake
for twenty minutes, then uncover and
let the potatoes brown. Properly pre-
pared, this is delicious dish.

MEMORABLE SEVENTEENTH or lIJNE,
Stirring Incidents of the Day When the
Famous Battle of Bunker Hill Was
FOlght.

Daybreak on Boston Common, June
II, Its! This ancient COW pasture is
now fortified British camp. There
is British sentinel sleepily striding
along, and you hear him calculating,
Its going to be warm day" How
nigh the temperature may rise in the
western world, and especially on an
Old hill the other side of the river, this
scarlet-coated prophet little under
stands.
Morning on the decks of the British
heet on the Charles, near Boston.
Through the night there has been a
drowsy sentry cry, "All's WE'LL" bawled
from this British fleet and echoed
across the very water to the Charles
town shore. Soon it will be "All's
wrong if opinion is given.
It's going to be very warm on the
decks of the British fleet.
Suddenly somebody, looking up
from that fleet, notices strange dis
turbance of the surface of a Charles
town hill.
What is that? Have the moles been
burrowing in the night, throwing up
mounds of earth along the crest of the
hill? Or is it the work of human
hands? What if the latter?
Bang! echoes loud report of can
non, and ball from the gun deck of
the British warship, the Lively, goes
flying toward the earthworks thrown
up by lot of plucky Americans.
The British have become aware of
the works of the rebel troops on
Breeds hill.
All through Boston the exciting
news flies speedily. There's no drowsy
sentinel on Boston Common. There's
no listless movement amid the grave
stones on Cops hill. From Frog lane
southerly to Boston neck, and then
northerly to the old milldam, there is
an agitation like an earthquake thrill
ing patriotic hearts as we'll as rousing
the British.
