No, we have never seen anything like that in the cabbage family. It is a whole cabbage family uuto itself, there are 20 hard head.-* ranging in size from a hen's egg to a gooee egg size, all growing in a bunch on one ?ta'k, each having a s'em of its own attached to the mother or main stem The whole is somewhat larger than an ordinary cabbage head. It is a curium freak of nature. From The Seat of War. Capt Frank W. Greer, of Pacolet, dropped in to see The Timvs while in town Saturday. He talked very entertainly about the Philippii es and the people. their customs, languages, their fighting qualities, etc. Mr. Greer has a recently returned from a vear and a half's soldiering in the islands and says the trip was an education.

Ei>itoii:?I am sorry to inform you that a destructive storm of wind, :e raiu and hail visited our section last re Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock. It started in the neighborhood of New Prospect school house raoviug in a south of western direction carrying destruction in ie its pathway. Crops are nearly destroyed, , fences blown down, trees uprooted, 8 orchards and fruit badly damaged. A large oak was blown on a house occupied . by Peter Moormau, colored, owned by T. K Palmer, crushing in one end of 6 the bulldiug and knocking down a part d- of the chimney. The storm extended Id about a mile in length averaging about ^ a half mile in width. W. F. Dukes, M. \V. Bailey, J. H. Bagwell, J. T. y* Bobo, J. W. Bobe, Peter Moorman, J. s- B. Murphy and ihe write,i are the principal sufferers. We are glad the storm was confined to so small an area.

The Times office has took the rag off the bush, a real live hypnotist has developed right in the office under our nose . as a were, anu wnue we occasionally were aware of a peculiar aroma we did ,n not recognize the smell as that of a hypw notist. Our pressman has for some 0r tine lieeu taking lessons by mail from a long haired professor in furren parts unbeknownst to us, and one day last week '& he unrolled a suspicious looking package 36 that came to him through the mail. He advanced and proudly laid, the paper on our desk with the remark, "there's my 16 deploomer." "Your what," said we il- "My deploomer, I'm a hypnotist," he m] then went on to explain. He says he j8 has it down tine and we have felt a little . nervous ever since. We do not know M whether to credit our case of yellow is jamdice to the shock of the discovery or )p not. He informs us that he in arranging for several engagements. His tjrst performance was witnessed last Tuesday night by a select assemblage of mistitied e ladies and gents of color. The professor r' is well pleased with his initial effort. J We are trying to think up some big . name suitable for the uew professor. We have an idea he is also practicing the art of putting people to sleep. But. the trouble about this i?art of the busi'8 ness la that be having no one in ttie office to practice upon is practicing the t* sleep act himself. We do not like to it hinder genius but we think we will draw h the line here and will have to throw cold water on the sleep act at least. 1i Change in Business HARRY & BELK'S <2^AND A?^ Rin ruANnr IM DDi^re w annviu 111 rniULO.
