Notice has been given to the citi zens of Wilson that a special election will be held on Monday, November 25th that the citizens of the town may signify their approval of the in troduction of sewers. This subject is one of grave import ance to us, from a number of points of view. We will only discuss two of these, vis. ; Health and Financial. The first consideration of any town should be the preservation of the health of its citizens. To this end no opportunity should be left unim proved, no stone left unturned. In all towns it has been found necessary to provide means by which the waste and accumulations incident upon closer settlement be carried oft to some safe distance. With us two natural outlets have been proyided, one on the east, (Toisnot) and one on the west, (Hominy), all that re mains for the citizens to do is to make the connecting, link with these two streams and Wilson's health rec ord is maintained refuse, and in another season or two we may safely predict that the number of deaths from poisoned water will be such as to build a wall around our town that no stranger will care to scale. Next we will take the financial question in hand. The only possi b 1 jecticn of the putting in of sew ers is the cost. This need not enter in to the quesion at all as there are enough subscribers already in sight to pay the interest charged on the bonds. It will be remembered that a great deal of talk was indulged in before the water works were put in, "It will bankrupt the town' the croakers declared. What has been, the result ? Wilson to-day has as fine a system of water as any town, large or small, in the South, and what is better still the plant is paying its own way. The only drawback to the system is that many parties desiring to use the water cannot do so because there is no outlet for the waste, The in creased taking of water alone will pay the interest charges on the sew er bonds. Now again, Wilson is attracting the attention of the whole South. The editor of this paper was in Konx ville, Tenn., last week and was much surprised at being waited upon by a representative of the mayor of that city, and questioned as to the plan upon which or wateriand electric light systems were conducted, and the cost of running, etc. It seems, that these people are in the hands of private corporations and they are looking with longing eyes at the prosperity of this little town in its bold strike at self government. Another thing. We .all must ac knowledge that the prosperity of the town must depend in a great degree upon the capital that can be induced to settle here. Now if we would get outsiders to come to our town we .. must offer ; every inducement pos sible. We now have good location, good railroad facilitiesiexcellent bank ing houses, electric lights, water works, and with the addition ot sew ers and telephones we will be abreast cf ttnj towa ia &&cl 1 H E EXPOSITION. Perhaps one of the most encour aging signs of the advent of a new era is the Exposition at Atlanta. That a Southern city should under take such a gigantic enterprise is in deed wonderful. But when you alight at the Union depot and make your way through the crowd to the street you loose sight of your first im pression, and as you slowly advance through a crowd of veiling cabbies you begin to feel that there has been a mistake arid that it is New York, and not .Atlanta in which you have landed. The scene again changes as you pass along Peachtree street. Here again all that is truly Sonthern is brought out, as block on block of beautiful residences, set well back from the street, shaded by magnifi cent trees underneath which strecth smooth, well kept lawns, like emerald carpets. The ride from the depot to the Exposition grounds is well worth a trip to the Gate City. The "New White City" is located at what was formerly known as Pied mont Park but the whole landscape has been so changed that a native could not find a single landmark be yond the club house, which stands near the main entrance to the ground. A detail account of the attractions to be found would occupy more time than we have at our disposal, but for the benefit of those of our readers who will not be able to go in person we will give a short sketch.

The preacher told the young lady to take him back home and not 10 come' there, with him in that condi tion again, that he would not marry any body drunk. In about a week they came back and the fellow was as drunk as before. The preacher said to the young lady; "I told you not to come here again with that fel low drunk."

A Fine Record, i During the year 1895 up to the present cute, October 10th, there has j been but three deaths at the Rocky lvjiuuiu miiis. une 01 tnese was a -""u lur J 'vey. anotner an "-m,u u.uu 01 mr. ioDert Arquer. and. the third an old. man eighty-two years of age, Mr. M. A. Neville. This is a splendid record and speaks well for the sanitary condition of affairs at the Mills. Argonaut. Ayer's Hair Visor. which has out lived and superseded hundreds of sim ilar preperations, is undoubtedly the most iasnionaDie as well as economical hair-dressing on the market. By its use, tne poorest head of hair soon be comes luxuriant and beautiful. This is a year of great plenty. Good wheat, good oats, good corn, also apples, peaches, pears, berries, and almost everything in profusion known to this climate. We have great reason to be very thankful to the Lord for his goodness and mercy. Lenoir Topic.
