She stopped and drew back, crimson

and her eyes.
1t was now Travers' turn to lean for

breast and pulled forth a tiny lace
handkerchief, crumpled and dark with
pocket CRIME Unfolding 1t, he spread
1t out before her.

exultation to his face

Foods for Hogs.

There is nothing like the clover patch
for starting pigs growing just after they
have been weaned and the first three
months thereafter. if provided with
plenty of good pure water in the clover
field. they will take care of themselves
For fattening hogs, the manner in which
the materials intended for that purpose
are prepared and fed has a decided in
fiuence on the rapidity of the process
and has a direct bearing on the aggre-
gate profits. If given to them raw
much of the value of the article is lost
Grain is much improved by grinding,
but the full effect of all kinds of feed is
only brought out by cooking.
Corn is without doubt. the best article
ever produced for making good pork and
though other substances may occasional
ly be used with advantage and may
produce pork of fair and even of good
quality, yet experience has proved that
the real cornfed meat is, on the whole,
superior to all others. Protein foods
should assist corn for hogs. Cow peas
have generally been ranked next to corn
as the article for making good pork and
they are probably the hes, substitute
that has been found hogs feed we'll on
them. and fatten rapidly, the pork being
of good quality: but they should be
ground or soaked previous to feeding.
Turnips carrots and other root vege-
tables may be fed raw as a change of
diet. or rather as Il relish to whet the
appetite. hut they should be given in
small quantities accompanied by cooked
food. Potatoes are more extensively
usel for fattening hogs than any other
of the root foods and are probably the
best of the whole for this purpose. I'm
less they are boiled however, they are
of little value comparatively, but when
cooked they will give the hogs fine
start in feeding and they may then be
easily finished off witt, corn or COW
peas.

DOING MISSIONARY WORK
1--WE are Educating Virginia Children
Just Now Said a Booze Artist.

Occasionally one runs up against
amusing things. The other day two
strangers, never before here, stopped
over for a few hours. Coming up from
pretty drunk. The sight reminded them
OF course a man must have a re-
hinder about taking a drink-that
they wanted a drink. One Of them ask
ed the tipsy man where they could get
something.
Nothing here" he said.
mo saloons?' asked the other.
Nope. nary a one"
"Got a dispensary?" was the further
query.
Nope, no 'spensary either" he re-
piled.
But you have had something; where
did you get it? came the further
query.
"Zat's right; had whole lot-plenty
of it. You see, it's this way. We are
now engaged in educating the children
Of Virginia. Got no liquor here, so
it; educating Virginia's children; dom
missionary work-see"
And the men saw, but they failed to
get a drink. The resident said he
had some but he could not sell it
and certainly he vas not going to give
it away. He volunteered the infOr-
nation, however that they could send
over to Danville and get any quantity
inside of five hours, but the profer
was declined.-GreensbOro Record.

How He Assisted
A Bashful Lover

\ N absentminded clergyman tells
~ how once he was unconsciously
\ responsible for helping a bashfui
lover. His mind was filed with a sub
tie theological problem when a neigh
boris daughter passed in company with
a dif1dent youth. His thoughts were
interrupted as she called out to him:
"Oh, doctor, we are just going for q
ramble. Won't you join U.s."
with pleasure. Do you want the
ceremony in a church,"
The bashful lover was suddenly fired
with an enthusiasm that four years of
gnawing at his heartstrings had failed
to arouse, and he fairly shouted:
Eyes, yes, and If Maud consents the
sooner the better."-New York Times.

Improvements In Hotels OF Goldsboro.
Southern Railway Laying Heavier
Rails From Selma 60 Goldsboro.



Goldsboro. n. C., February 15.-The
old St James Hotel, which several
years ago enjoyed q long run OF pop
ularity and prosperity, Is to reopen at
an early day under the name Of the
new St James and under new manage
ment. IL Is located at q convenient
place adjoining the railroad ticket Off
ces and waiting rooms and will no
doubt come in for a large share Of pat
ronaSe under the management OF Mrs.
Mary Perkins. who has been running
a boarding house in the Arlington no.
tel. The Arlington as well as the st.
James, has been reopened and fitted
up 18th all modern convenieaces.
These W hotels together with the
Bridgers house and the Kennon hotel
will give accommodations for the trav-
cling public that will be second TO none
in the state. Those who attend the
meeting Of the State Grand Lodge Of
Odd Fellows In this city In May need
have no fear for hotel accommodation
that will be first class in every partic-
ular.
The Southern railway Is just now
completing the laying of new and
heavier rail from Selma to this city.
The force of hands who have been
doing the work were laying rails RICH.
In the city today. 1t is understood that
when the work has been finally com
pleted the Southern intends TO put
some of their best rolling stock on the
line between here and Greensboro.
Such a change will be welcomed by the
travelling public. For years past il has
been a custom with the Southern TO
put only such engines and cars on
this run as had been worn out and
unfit for service ON the main line. As
a consequence the public had to suffer
from delays and ride in uncomfortable
Shacks.
The Atlantic and North Carolina
railway had a wreck at Morehead City
last night which made their trains
late in arriving here today. Two pas
senger cars were derailed by running
into an open switch. No one was in
jured, but it took several hours to clear
the track.
The Southern railway shifting en-
CINE ran o ffthe track near here this
afternoon and passenger trains from
the west had to approach the scene
and transfer and then return to Selma
where they could turn around and get
in the proper snaps to proceed to
Greensboro. The shifting engine was
going out to the lumber mill of A. T.
Griffin with a load of logs and jumped
the track at a sharp curve In the
southern part of the city. Fortunately
no one was injured, but the engine
ran down a steep embankment and is
buried in the mud. The tender and
one car ran off the track and tore it
up for a short distance. 1t will be sew
eral hours before trains can pass.

No Joint Army and Navy ManOeuvres
This Summer.

Newport, r. L., February 14.-Naval
officers here have received word that
the idea of having joint army and
naval m~anoeuvres during the coming
summer has been practically abandon
ed. Lack of funds is given as the
reason for the reported decision of the
joint army and navy board not to have
the operations this year. The state
OF Georgia offered the board the use
of territory for the manoeuvres, but it
was estimated that the expense of
transportation to hat state would
mount to half a million dollars which
was considered prohibitive.
