One Day This Week j
a Camden man was work
ing his way through the
quagmire, commonly knSwn
as Poindexter street. He
espied a hat in one of te
ruts in front of him.
the headgear appeared tox
in fairly good condition, he
dismounted to pick it up.
As he raised the hat, he was
astonished to hear a voice
coming from under it, ex
claim, "Hold on, that's my
hat !" As soon as he gath
ered his breath and wits,
the teamster asked, "What
are you doing down there ?
which brought forth this
reply. "I'm in big luck to
be where I am ; there's a
horse underneath me."
Moral : If he had had
a Crawford bicycle he could
have ridden on the side
walk and kept out of the
mud.
We struck the right chord
when we took the agency for
the Crawford bicycle. They
lead the day. Only $3 5.00.
Right on the coiner.
Honest expressions from hon
est people. No bicycle can com
pare with the Crawford at the
same price, 98 wheel only $35.
Some bicycles are good
others are better. 98 Crawford's
are best for the money.
The loveliest thing you ever
saw tne ladies nigngraae
Crawford.
Not a week passes but -that
we sell one, two, three, four or
rive bicycles. You may not un
derstand why. We'll tell you.
It started with our big value
and little price. Now it's the
reputation of tlu Crawford for
strength, durability and easy
running qualities.

And tie way their tongues is goiu',

ikeSu' Circle meets.
First tbev almost bad a squabble, fight
in'" 'bout the future life,
When thev'd settled that they started
runnin' down the parson's wife
Then they got a-goin' roastin' all the
folk there is in town,
And they never stopped, you bet yer,
till they'd done 'c-n good and
brown.
They knew everybody's luniuss and
they made it mighty f'rc.
But the way they loved each oiiier would
have done you good to see;
Seem to me the only way to keep your
hist'ry off the streets.
Is to be on hand a-wai'.in' wheu the
Sewin' Circle meets.
Pretty quick they'll hbz their supper,
then's the time to see the fuu,
Ma'll says the rolls is awful and she's
Traid the pie ain't done.
Really everything is bully, and she
knows it well though,
But the folks that's haviu comp'u'y
always talks that kind of stuff.
That sets all the women goin,' and they
say " How can you make
Such delicious pies and biscuits, and
lovely choe'late cake?
Me ind 1 illy don't say nothin' when
we pitch in and eats.
Up the things there is left over when
the Sewin' Circle meets.
I guess Pa don't like the Circle, 'cause
he said to uncle Jim
That there cackliu' hen convention was
too peppery for ;;.
And he'll say to Ma "I'm sorry, but
I've reaM- got to dodge
Down t' the hall right after supper,
there's a meetiu' at the Lodge."
Ma '11 say, "Yes, so I expected." Then
a-speakiu' kin er cold,
"Seems to me I'd get a new one ; that
excuse is gettin' old."
Pa '11 look sick, just like a feller when
he finis you know he cheats,
But he don't stay home, you bet yer,
when the Sewin' Circle meets.
Six mouths later, Pa's now happy,
He don't look just like he steel ;
But come- right out and says,
I'll go ride my Crawford wheel.

CURIOS AT NEW BERNE PAIR
Exhibits by the People of Ed
enton and Elizabeth City.
The New Berne Journal, in
its write-up of the Fair held a
New Berne last week, tells of an
interesting collection of curios
exhibited by the people of Ed
enton and Elizabeth City.
The Journal says:
"ine exniou in the curio
room was extremely iuterestii.g
this year, and much of the inter
est was due to the articles coi
iected by Mrs. Hargett, in Ed
enton and Elizabeth City.
"From the former place was a
chart of North Carolina made
in 173S, the minutes of General
Assembly at Edenton 1727, ;
subscription list in a post be
tween Identon and Suffolk 1775,
and many other valuable writ
ings on parchment. A Fashion
Book for ladies, 1798, depicted
the quaint costumes ol that age.
and "The Art of Cooking made
plain and easy" in 1803 had
many good recipes for the pres
ent dav. There was also two
pictures brought from England
by Parson Pettigrew, soon after
the Independence of the colon
ies; and the reel for silk brought
from France, and the wedding
garments worn seventy five
years ago, were very interesting.
We cannot numerate all of
the articles, but must say we are
indebted to the Rev R. B. Drane
and Miss Margaret Bond, and
also to the dentist, Dr. C. P.
Bogert, for the model of a church
made of human teeth. Mr. J. P.
Overman, of Elizabeth City,
sent a photograph of Theodorsia
durr, daughter of Aaron Burr,
and has the original oil paint'
ing in his possession. Mr. F.
Vaughan sent an old Iudian
God, found in a shell mound,
the petrified heart and lungs of
a human body, back bone of
sword fish and the saw of a saw
sh, a meteorite that fell iu
'asquotank county, etc.
Mr. Hathaway sent a Japan
ese sword cane with compass in
the end and inlaid cabinets.
Mrs. Fearing sent old familv
ewelry, w.:tch over 100 years,
pin, ear-rings, chain, etc. Mrs.
Brooks sent wedding garments
worn fifty years ago. Mr. Brad
ford sent a drawing of a Confed
erate Signal station with stars
and bars flying, made r862, also
uniform worn at the same time.
Mrs Dawson also sent a battle
flag used by Confederates, a
family record of 1797 &c. Mrs.
James Williams sent Amos Free
brooks cyphering book 1803 in
which he tells us there are four
weeks in a month and thirteen
months in a year and a copy of
a letter said to have been writ
ten by and hid under a stone in
the Holy Land. We have not
numerated all the articles in
this collection, only the most
important, and extend our
thanks to the good people of
Elizabeth City and Edenton for
their kindness.
