where do the red and speckled ears

is, why can't we find an ear with
an odd number of rows on if? Von
can find a four-leaf clover, but you
never saw an odd row on an ear of
com yet. It is always fourteen,
sixteen, twenty or some other even
numjber, and we would liko to know
nboiUX'? mathematics and what
objd nature has in these install
odd uumbers."

Hojfs Die of Hydrophobia.
The soasoip is at hand when the
dreadful mad dog is prowling the
country and causing intense excitement
null loss of live stock.
Every owner of a dog should watch
his canine vjery closely nowadays
and at the first signs of madness
either securely routine or kdl it.
Already a number of accounts of
losses of cattle and hogs, as a result
of (log l|)ites, have been seen,
one of which occurred not many
miles from Vort Mill, and was as
follows:
"Dr. *T. S. Abernethy, of Long j
Creek, Mecl.lenburg county, N.U.,
has lost nine hogs during the past
few days caused by the bite of
a mad dog. Several days ago a
strange dog was seen in the pasture
where the hogs were. In a
few day the hogs became sick and
died in terrible agony. The dog
that bit the animals was killed
some distance from Dr. Abernethy's
home. The cause of the
death of thg hogs, Dr. Abernethy
says, was without question hydrophobia,
and that, too, in its worst

Cherry Tree Swindlers Convicted.
In tlit* district court in ( 'hariotte
Saturday L)r. ?l. Frank Bright, his
fater?Rev. T. Bright ou t C. i>
Wilkie, a newspaper man, were
found miilty of fraud in connection
with tlie Amos Owen Cherry
Tree company, which did an i k
tensive business tlirouuhout tii?>
(Jnroliuns several months auo. rI'11 ?
maximum penalty tor the oiVeuse
is four and a half years in the pen.
itentiary and a line of $1 ,nlK).
Commenting upon the ease,
Indue lioyd said: "It is a p infill
ease. Ilere is a minister of the
gospel, a representul i ve of the
highest eallinu on eaith, who deseemls
fioni his hi11 plane and
violates the law of his country.
His laid influence will permeate
the place in which he lived, and
his example will do harm where it
shouid have been exei t ?I for uood."
It will he remembered that this
company adveitised for wenien to
dowriiiuu at home, aur? einu to
pay $20 p*T month therefor. A
condition pr cedent to entering
the company's employ, however,
was the payment of $11!. for which
the company agreed to furnish
cherry tree sprouts, to he sold by
the employee lit l!t) rents each. I n
most cases, it is said, the cherry
sprouts could not he disposed i f
at any price. It is claimed that
few of the women who paid their
$12, with the undei'standinu that
they were to h- paid $20 per
mouth, ever received one cent from
tlie company.

Virulent Cancer Cured.
Startling proof of a wonderful
advance in nioiiicine is given by
druggist. G. W. Huberts, of Blizabetli,
\\ Va. An old man there
had long suffered with what good
doctors pronounced incurable canecr.
Tliey believed his case hopeless
till he used Klectrie Bitters
and applied Biieklen's Arnica
Salve, which treatment eoinph'tely
cured him. When Lie- trie Bitters
are used to expel bilious, kidney
and microbe poisons at the same
time this salve exerts its matchless
healiii!_r power, blood diseases,skin
nipt ions, ulcers and sores vanish.
