Will Foster, John Estes and Sam Leo awoke their neighbors last Thurs day morning with what they thought was a fox chase. Every available spot was sought by lovers of the chase to hear the music of the hounds and the exultant shouts of the hunts men. The fun all came to a sudden stop when it was discovered that Reynard turned out to he u ‘‘Thomas cat” which had sought refuge m a tree top. The young folks had a pound party at tire home of Mr. S.

Those people who overload, over drive and otherwise maltreat dumb brutes, (even if they are their own property) ought to remember that we have a law on our statute hooks against such, and it is any good citi zen’s duty to see that it is executed in good faith.

For ridiculousness the costumes, talk and manners of the actors couldn’t have been more significant—they were enough to frighten the hobgoblins from the land and run all the dogs in the neighborhood crazy. Added to this was the a species of the North Kilmer and Gorgy manners, dialect and general ruffianism: The prizes were a mustache cup and saucer and a silk handkerchief which were awarded Sam Lee and Miss Jessie Strain, respectfully, for being the tackiest couple in the party.

There is quite a oontroversey going on in the cross roads Biptist church of this place, the outgrowth of one of the members engaging in the manu facturing of whiskey. The result of the oontroversey to! date is the ex clusion from the fellowship of the church of the £ineniber who was en gaged in the business, and the arrang- ment t of about sixty others before the bar of the church to jnake satis factory acknowledgements, to the church, for having signed the petition fur the establishment of the distell- cry.

They will let their children go in rags and without bread in order that they may buy whiskey. There were several sad accidents in this country during the holidays, the result of this old lirey liquor. The farmers of this community have sown a large crop of wheat; just what they ought to have been doing for several years. They should also plant a larger crop of corn and a smaller crop of cotton than ever be fore. There is a lot of moving this year. Guess they are moving where times are easier A charming young lady of Chero kee Springs lias been visiting rel atives near Asbury. Some of the boys would like for her to make an other visit.

A textile machinery agency in Charlotte last year sold over $550,000 worth of machinery to Southern mills.

He says:— I have seen so much 1 scarcely know how to begin. The First North Car olina were the first United States troops to land in Huvanna, you ought to have seen the Cubans cheer us as we marched through the streets to our camps, which jsj seven miles from the citv. liavanna is the FLAW ON RANSE SPENCER.

The iiouses are of brick or stone and are Jinely built, but Havana is so tilthly it iseasy to sec why the Cubans and Spaniards die so. 1 guess when the United States takes charge things will be cleaned out. These people have no sense, they let dead horses and mules remain in the streets for the buzzards to eat them out of their way. Spain still has 13,000 soldiers here, and some trouble seemed to he appre hended when we landed, hut every thing passed off quietly. The Span ish soldiers saluted us when ever we saw them. They are a hard looking lot. seemed to he just starved out. We were on the boat four days. You bet some of the hoys were sick. The harbor of Ilahunna is worth see ing. 1 saw the wreck of the Maine. I would not have missed this trip for a thousand dollars. In entering the harbor we passed under the big guns of Morro which looked pretty scarry. Morro has been a fine place, it is old now but stout and all right yet. Our camp is about a mile from the ocean, and it is the prettiest scene every evening when the sun is about to go down. You can buy the Spaniards guns, belts, cartridges and bayonets for $3. They will sell anything. Tiny have not been paid in seven months. The soldiers seem glad we arc* get ting here, as it lets them go back homo. I don’t blame tho Spaniards for wanting to keep this fine country. I have seen some of tho finest parks and gardens here I ever saw. Some Americans are here, hut the larger part of the people are half ne groes and Cubans, all are dark and I bet 25,000 little niggers and Cuban us through Ha- children followed vunna. The Cubans evinced tlieir joy at our arrival in every way they could concieve of. They fired off some fire crackers in front of the Colonel and some thought we had been fired on. We were ready however, and little commotion was caused. Corporal Little is well satisfied with his surroundings in Cuba and thinks the country is susceptible of a great future. . • — Free Pills.

About the onliest thing 1 would respectably call your attention to, my friends an’ feller citizens, is that infernal Range Spencer. Honestly, don’t have no more truth than I would hi-lo-mucketymuck. \\ herein I speak let me teli you: T’other day, indurin’ the happy hollydays, whilst I was a v’sitii.’ of some nahers over in the lower Coalin’ Ground, who should 1 run on but Rause Spencer? Whilst we were a talkin’ of ole times an’ the gineral confiabulations of the day I axed hits how craps turned out on the Brick House place, which, you understand, that is where he lived an’ run a farm last year. 1 hadn’t more’n got the question out, when lie jumped up an’ went to the door an’ commenced to holler. ‘‘Nell! Nell! Nelly! Come gal!” He called mo to the door an’ the sight mine eyes beheld was pluperfect sor rowful—a mule—no, a buck of stones —stack of bones, I mean—with a saddle an bridle fastened on. Hon estly to goodness, that mule weren’t fit fer a doggone tiling, as I could see, hut to make guunerout’n’ or else be used fer a dryiu’ rack to dry green hides on. That mule’s'eyes was of a dreamy natre, her bead was gray, her years flopped, an’, by gracious, every bone stuck out like indicator hands. ‘‘My God!” said I. ‘‘My mule!,” said he. To be honest, that was about all that was said fer some time, whilst we stood thar an’ looked at that stack of hones, you understand. Finally at last I says, says I, ‘ Runse, you’ve got the underside of your saddle plated with sheet iron, uint you?” ‘‘Shaw, Flaw, what’s the matter with you? I’m a goin’ to raise a big crap of cotton an’ corn with that ’ar ole mule next summer,” said Ranse with a confidential air. ‘‘If you do,Ranse, you’ll hnf to have her made up into guauer first,” said I • ‘‘Flaw, what I started to tell you when I called you here was somethin’ about my craps an’ not the mule,” said Ranse, an’ here’s wherein I say ho hain’t no regards for tho truth, you understand. ‘‘T’other mornin’ when I fotch that mule home I jist turned her loose in the yard, you understand, an’ finally at last I forgot all about her. Whilst I was a eutin’ of my dinner Aunt Batsey happened to go to tho front door an’ see the mule. She hollers out, says she, ‘Ranse. somethin’ is the matter with that ole mule you brung home. Go quick!’ 1 went out to the corn crib where she was a standin’, an bless your soul. Flaw, tho ole fool mule was a stand- in’ thar a peepin’ through tho cracks of the crib, an’ her sides was a shakin’ like us it she was a havin’ of convulsionments, hut to tell the honest truth she was only a laughin’ at the thought of so much corn laid up in store fer her own tooth indurin’ this winter. No, I’m jist a tcllin’ of you this, Flaw, to give you an' idy how craps turned out with me last year. I had to work hard but I’ve got the reward now, an’ the mule is a mendin’ rapidly fast every day. ‘ But I want to swap her off, Flaw, fer she looks too dreamy out’n her eyes. Some of these days, I’m scared, she will git todreanain’ of the loved ones gone on before, what’s now a baskin’ in the sunshine over the river—you know how good a mule likes the sunshine any how—an’, by gatlm’s, I’m scared she will take a fool notion into her ole knot to go over an' jinu ’em on the other side, an’ in consequence that she does hit will leave ole Ranse to look out fer an other.” ‘ Yes, Flaw,” Ranse went on, ‘‘Uve got plenty of corn in tho crib, meat in tiie smoke house, an’, 1 guess, some hominy in the pot, an’ ef you'll come down you shall have all the hog an’ hominy your good ole self can desire, an’,—an’ I uint right shore ef wo can’t sc rapt up a Christmas bottle whut will soothe our sorrows, ln-al our wounds an’ drive away our fears. Come down, Flaw, an’ have a good Christinas with me. 1 uint got no game chickens to speak of hut we can have a time at any rate.” This way Ranse talked until I had to promise him to come down shortly an’ spend a night with him. A harder workln’ feller never pulled a bell cord than Ranse, whilst I never saw a man what liked to swap horses better’n him in uli my born days. Yours truly, Flaw Ficxcu.
