compel an admiration of this
prominent department of the
fair.
Wo in e ni 1 1 and i wo rk .
The skill, industry and pa
tience of woman produce many
articles that are important fac
tors in the success of an agricul
tural fair. Bv her knowledge of
the beautiful, her skill in art,
and her resthetic taste she is able
to construct many beautiful
things that aie always interest
ing and attractive. A department
of the fair set apart for her pro
ductions was a wise thought, as
it furnishes not only a means
whereby woman can compete
with woman in all the forms of
her handicraft, but it enables the
public to get a glimpse of the as
sembled products of her skill,
and lets the world know more of
the achievements, the power and
prowers of woman.
The field of woman's labor is
constantly widening, and there
are now many avenues outside
the home iu which her services
have become a great factor.
Such an exhibition as this offers
her a chance to display her pow
ers of conception, her skill in
contriving, originating and de
signing; her patience in cultivat
ing and producing, and herdefts
ness in completion and arrange
ment, as well as an opportunity
to show the many fabrics, instru
ments and machines in which
she is interested, designed to
grace her person, ornament and
beautify the home, and make its
surroundings complete and les
sen the labor she performs wher
ever employed. In all, it will be
an exhibition of woman's pio
ducts and the products in which
woman is interested, represent
ing in no small degree, her
genius, skill and patience.
We wish to have this depart
ment grandly filled and invite a
large contribution. Everybody
is asked to attend and feast their
eyes upon the infinity of tokens
of woman's brains, grace and
loveliness. Husbands, bring
your wives and daughters and let
them see what others of the fair
sex are doing and can achieve,
and wives bring your husbands
and sous, and teach them what
they owe to their families to en
dure and provide.
The Cotton Crop Injured.
'Ine drought continues ail over
the State, and all reports received
at Raleigh are to the effect that
the cotton crop was injured 33
per cent, during September. Such
rapid opening was never known.

tramp an old pair of her hubby's
pants, forgoc to go through the
pockets, and failed to discover
$200 which her liege lord had

He was afraid if lie kept so much
wealth he might be tempted to
quit tramping.

HOW TO SMOKE A CIGAR.
A few plain directions for
cigar smokine. eiven bv an arcd
' . - -
smoker and cigar manufacturer, ;
are : i
t
First, buy none but new cig- i
ars, the newer the better. Old
cigars that are dry and brittle
are avoided in those countries
where smoking is a second na
ture. Second, leave the ashes upon
your cigar until they fall off. A
cigar not only burns straighter
while the ashes remain, but lasts
longer and tastes better. To keep
knocking the ash.es off is a mis
t
demeanor.
Third, if ycur cigar goes out
be sure to blow through it as
soon as possible. You will see
some dead smoke leave it, that
would become stale and make
yo'ur cigar stink if left iu it. A
cigar that has been cleaned will
taste good when lighted ether
wise you will stink up a place as
big-as the academy of music, if
you carry it in your clothes.
Fourth, you cannot tell wheth
er a cigar is good or bad unless
you light it properly that is to
say, thoroughly. After you think
you have it lit all around do it
again to make sure. There is no
perceptible difference between a
tenement house stinker and a
dollar cigar, if both are badlv
lighted.
Fifth, don't smoke too much
and don't smoke a o-ood ciirar
while you are walking out of
doors, or while you are driving..
Sixth, if you think smoking is
injurious to your health, stop
smoking in the early morning.
Two thirds of the people of this
coumrv Jiavetneir stomachs out
of order and no man ailing can
smoke iu the early morning be
fore or after breakfast. I can't ex
plain it, but the body revolts
against tobacco smoke until a few
hours after getting up. Then you
ng for a smoke and enjoy it. I
tnougut sninwntr was killing me
itil I quic it in the morning.
The best time to smoke is aft' r
dinner and after supper and
straight ahead until bedtime.
Smoking would not hurt a babv
if this rule was followed.
Seventh, don't make a smoke
stack out of your mouth by con-
tmuaiiv puinng on vour cigar
and spoiling its taste by
getting
it not. liiice your time.
High th, never give auvbodv a
lfght from your cigar. Carry
matches and peddle them out,
but if a man wants a light from
your cigar, tell him that you
would rather change cigars,
since yours would be much
harmed, if not ruiud, by the
crushing and sucking it would
have to go through.
Finally, never buy a cheap
cigar. There is no economy iu
the practice. If you can't afford
good cigars, smoke less,

Money would be more enjoy
able if it took as long to spend it
as to earn it. The money spent
to go to the Fdcuton Fair gives
a longer period of pleasure than
can be had elsewhere lor the
same sum.

It Pays to Read Advertisements
Carefully.
The Leipsic, Ohio, Tribune,
has the following reference to the
reading of advertisements, the
truth and good sense of which
will (impress itself upon every
thoughtful reader :
"The average reader of the
home newspaper can save many
times its price in the course of a
year by carefully reading the ad
vertisemeuts of live business
men. By this we mean that the
reader can save money by watch
ing for quoted bargains in the
very goods he must have. Try
it and sec if the statement is
correct If it is, "hard times" is
no excuse for net taking a home
paper, for it is saving you money
when vou need it most."
A Lovely Scene.
Wilson Mirror.
We were slowly strolling on to
church the other night enjoying
the bewitching glories of that
glorious scene, just Heaven born,
and which fed the purest emo i
tions of rapture and delight
From the loveliest of lovely skies
there poured ceaseless rivers ot
light and glory wdiose waves, as
they came trickling iu mellowed
radiance, would ever and anon
catch the stars quivering gleam
ings that danced in trembling
ripples upon those radiant rivu
lets that sent their silver streams
throughout the bending heavens,
and, catching them as they did,
they would then mingle their
calmer, softer, more chastened
glories, and then sprinkle upon
the bosom of night a shene of
silver seemingly woven in
Heavenly looms of beauty and of
splendor. And as we neared the
church sweet voices rang out in
praise of the Great I Am above,
the blessed Author of all these
glories, and as wave after wave
of melody rose and rose, and
swelled and swelled we felt as if
those glorious strains were ming
ling then with the grander songs
the angels sing in. glory, as they
up there do too rejoice over the
"dear and sweet old story."

CUT OFF HIS TOE.
! AN OLI NKGRO MISTOOK HIS TOE 1-OR A
. ....
Yesterday a reporter sat on the
wharf at Gretna in search of news
The little place had afforded no
news on the day, and it looked
as though his trip would not
amount to much. Just then an
old negro man came limping
down the wharf. The reporter
thinking that the old man had
been in a "scrap" and had been
wo:sted,aud he thought that he
might get something that the
police had failed to get. The old
man came limping along and
sat down, at the same time pul
ling out a big bandanna hand
kerchief and wiping the perspir
ation off his wrinkled face.
"Good morning, uncle," said
the reporter. Vou look as though
you '..ad been in a fight."
"Morning boss. Xo sir, I ain't
been iu no fight in over twenty
years.
"What's the matter with your
leg? I noticed a limp in your
walk."
"Dat was not did by a fight.
Come over here and I'll tell you
how I came to have dis limp, an'
why all de people in Gretna calls
me Turkic. About six or seven
years ago I was one of de lies'
ditchers in dis part of ue country.
I had er reputation dat was hard
to beat. I used to go over all de
parishes ditchiu' for de planters;
and in every mail I used to git
letters axin' me to come to do
some ditchin'. Well, dat ain't dc
story.
"One day a man livin' in dis
town 'bout free hundred yards
from here come to my house
about t'ree o'clock in de mornin'
an' axed me if I could ditch for
him dat day. He said dat he
had a good deal to do an wanted
to get done wid it soon as possi
ble. I told him I'd be dere on
time, an I was. Well, I went to
work early dat morning' an 'bout
10 o'clock I was purty cold an'
tired. I sat down awiiile on de
bank of dc ditch an was restiu'.
My feet hung in de water because
it was colder on dc bank dan de
water was. 1 set dere 'bout 1 5
minutes when I looks in de wat
er an see somethin' sticking his
head up like a turklc. Jes' as
soon as I see dat turklc's head I
wanted him bad. You know
dere ain't many meats dat can
beat turkle. De head dodged
back under de water, and I got
my spade an waited till he stuck
up his head ergin. I didn't have
long to wait, an I looked, an up
jumped de head. I raised my
spade sorter carefullike so JI
wouldn't scare him away. I kept
raisin' my spade, an den aJl of a
sudden I brung it down right on
the head of datj turkle. I felt a
kind of pain when it struck, but I
didn't pay much attention to dat.
I run my hand inde water to get
my turkle, an' what you reckon
I brought up? Well, you would
never guess, but it Was my big
toe. I had cut it clean offatjiut.
"I guess you tink I am lyin'
don't you ? Well, if you don't be
lieve me you can ax anybody in
Gretna, and they will tell you
same thing. Thats how I come to
get dis limp. Well, dere comes
de ferry. Good mornin', boss."
"Goodby, uncle," and the old
man went limping- away. At
