so that it may heal over readily. Cut
the stub slanting at the base of the
sprout so that it will shed water.
Then cover the wound with paint
made of pure white lead and raw lin
seed oil, to protect it from water and
from disease germs. Do not spread
the paint beyond the cut surface.
This method should produce tree of
bearing age sooner than one could be
grown from replanted nursery tree
Where the trees have been covered
by deep snow the girdling may occur
foot or more above the ground. In
that case the tree may be cut off and
the stump grated with cions of the
variety desired.

Beware of Leaky Roofs.

A house with leaky roof is not
fit place for fowls. 1t will get them
out of condition, they will suffer more
or less from colds, and, naturally,
there must be a curtailment of tho
egg crop. Dampness is one of the
worst evils, and it will certainly be
a wise move to either get a new roof
or properly repair the old one.

1t might be of interest to the public
10 know something of the personal
history of Mr.. S. F. league, who is
now in the race for the Mayorship OF
our city, especially in view of the fact
that he came among us after he was
grown.
Mr.. league was born in Randolph
county almost thirty years ago. His
father, who was a Lieutenant in Co
K, 26th N. c. Regiment and received
a wound in the Battle of the Wilder
ness from which he never completely
recovered, was medical doctor and
engaged in the practice until his
death, when S. F., his third son. was
nine years old. The Doctor was one
OF the old-fashioned country kind who
charged but little and collected less.
and, therefore, he left his family no
wealth to mention. His wife, who still
survives, was an energetic woman. and
she put the smaller children to work
In cotton mill and got the oldest boy
in a railroad Office to learn telegra-
ply. When S. F. was 15 years old he
left the cotton mill and studied teIeg-
raphy under his oldest brother. who
In the meantime had become an effic-
lent telegraph operator, and within

Goldsboro is The Best Town in The

town in the State. It's present Board
of Aldermen work together in perfect
harmony-such as has not been SC
characteristic of any previous Board
Unity of purpose-and that purpose
the achievements of a Greater Colds
boro-patriotic perseverance in prog
ress, and the impartial administration
OF the city's affairs have been distinc-
tive features of their service, so that
we have had no unseemly wrangles
and no delays in the city's develop
ment
The record of Goldsboro's marvel
Gus growth under their administration
shows that that they have not been
drones, and the fact that they have
reduced our tax rate while yet giving
us such splendid public improve
ments, with a handsome treasury sur
plus, shows that they have not been
spendthrifts.
Would it not be suicidal for a big
prosperous business concern, with big
plans for greater development under
way, to deliver itself over to new and
inexperienced management?
Why then change our splendid
Board of Aldermen who have done
and who are doing so much for Colds
boro? And who work together for the
city's uplift and progress SO har-
moniously?
II one of them or any of them are
worthy of denomination they are each
and all equally so, for there has been
no retarding friction in their deliber-
ations.

Chiasso, Switzerland, April 5,-Via

troops on the Austrian frontier is con-

houses of peasants in the districts
bordering the confines affected have
been occupied by soldiers.
This information reaches Chiasso
from Italian sources. 1t is learned
from the same sources that still more
lmportant military activity is under
way. Information on this point is re-
fused transmission by the Italian CEN
sors.
The prohibition of the publication
or army and navy movements which
went into effect March 81 is being en-
forced strictly. Regiments from Rome.
Naples and even Calabria now are
camping along the Austrian border.
The concentration of troops is so COM
plete that it includes full supplies of
ammunition, hospitals and airships.
In view of these preparations.
