The Grumble Book.

A girl who has lately taken the
housekeeping duties on her own
shoulders recently started a grumble
book. Her people have been in the
habit of grumbling at mealtimes when
matters are wrong. This the young
housekeeper found hard to put uT
with SO she started 'tgrumble book.
The book lies at the corner of the
sideboard, and after meal times any
member of the family may write his
or her complaint in it in full, and a
the same time suggest improvements.
On a page used at breakfast-time
appeared the following: Egg boilet
hard" and fiabby toast" signed b!
the initials of the grumbler. Eacl
grumble must be initiated, and it il
quite permissible now and then t,
vary matters by inserting word o

Mr.. John l.. Faulkner Leaves Colds
bore.


Goldsboro tobacco market regrets
the loss of Mr.. John T.. Faulkner. He
goes to LAGRANGE to engage in the
warehouse business. Mr.. Faulkner has
for many years been identified with
the tobacco business in our city, both
as a leaf dealer and warehouseman.
AS leaf dealer he was of great force
on the market. He always held large
orders and was always liberal buy
er, appreciating the farmers needs.
Yet, Notwithstanding his liberality,
his thorough knowledge of the vari-
Gus types Of tobacco enabled him to
satisfy his dealers. AS judge of to-
bacco he is doubtless withouta SUI
perior. He thoroughly knows the
weed. AS a warehouseman he stands
among the very best. His efforts have
contributed largely toward Colds
boro's success as tobacco market
His loyalty and the high sense of duty
he feels toward his customers have
won for him the title of Honest John
Faulkner" which he bears worthily
We understand his associates are good
men and that the firm has strong
financial backing. To the good people
Of LAGRANGE and the patrons Of the
LAGRANGE tobacco market we would
say that he is a plain, quiet, and mas
summing man, but one who is worthy
your confidence and patronage. We
regret to lose him. but wish him Su&.-
cess.

New York, June 11.-Cotton has
