Ah the engineer of the westbound
My&kHN limited blew two short blasts. in

NNZVNNSEa signal he would stop at the station,
IASapAS the agent at Eldara was consider

NNH/ himself that such not the

CU9 down for the stop.
That the limited had passenger
for Eldara seemed certain; but why anyone should
wish to get off at Eldara was beyond the agent 5
comprehension. Eldara was not a city, nor a town,
nor a village it was not even hamlet There
were no buildings at the station except an exceed
ingy small and roughly built shanty in the midst of
a far stretching swamp, and the agent duties con
sisted principally of receiving an occasional train
order and fighting mosquitoes. The nearest farm
house was two miles away; the nearest town was
eight
So altogether desolate and uninvting was Eldara
station that even the conductor of the aCCommO-
dation complained in 4 loud voice whenever he was
tagged For the limited to stop at Eldara was
almost Unprecedented occurrence, and the agent
was almost overwhelmed with curiosity.
When the train came to a stop, man got off ;
but no sooner was he safely the ground than the
limited started with Jerk, and was soon fading
slowly from view down the long, straight stretch OF
track

there nothing but low bog, rank grass, and pools
Of water.
Presently he bchcld the agent, and raising his
chin he regarded him through the bottom Of his

while on his forthcoming trip.
II automobiles are not available.

expressly minated, are not wanted.
In the executive offices they do
not profess to know "A great deal

Prevalence of Perjury.

The prevalence OF perjury in all the
courts OF the country, high and low,
is causing some of our deep thinkers
much concern, and it is said that
there is O. movement on foot looking
to the more frequent and more severe
punishment OF those who lightly hold
their oaths, and call the Almighty to
witness O falsehood. But that phase
OF it, while serious indeed, is often
lost sight OF in the irreparable injury
done to those who are falsely sworn
against. Time was when men recoil-
ed with horror from a periurer, but
now he is looked upon as necessary
evil in the turning of the wheels Of
Justice. Nor do We believe that our
courts in this day attach the former
import given to evidence obtained
under Oath.-Asheville Citizen.

Fisherman Catches an Owl.
chatham Record

wonderful fish an owl story is
told by Mr.. D. E. MclVer, one OF the
most reputable citizens of this town
shin and whose character is above
suspicion even though he tells so
wondrous a tale He says that some
time ago he set a fishing line IN
Rocky river and next morning when
he went to it he found a catfish
caught by the hook and also wound
in the line, and perched on the pole
was q screech owl Instead OF flying
at the approach OF Mr.. McIver the
owl remained quitely resting on the
fishing pole on top of the water, and
when the pole was drawn in to the
bank the owl was found to have been
caught by it's legs tangled in thef FISH
ing line.
Mr.. McIver suggests that after the
catfish had been caught by the hook
it struggled to get loose and was en-
tangled in the line, and, rising to the
surface OF the water, was seen by the
owl which dashed at it and III the
struggle for the fish was also en-
tangled in the line.
The record is not a candidate Tor
the EDITORS mendacity medal (which
is understood to have been won al
ready by another,) and, although
the above tale is rather "tishy," yet
it is vouched for by a credible wit
ness
