last Sunday and gave much satisfac
tion. Within the past year or two
this congregation have newly painted
and repaired tkeir church, making it
one of the neatest in the county, and
have bought a new bell and organ.
Tine Oats.
Mr. Thomas H. Harrington has
sent us a sample of his oats that
beats anything that we have seen or
heard of this year. He savs that he
has four acres ot the oats all as good
as the sample sent, and grown without
any guano. If the stalks were much
larger they might be used for walk
ing fcticks!
Large Turkeys.
We have noticed several of our ex
changes boasting of large wild tur
keys that had recently been killed in
different counties, but we claim that
Chatham can beat theni all. Mr. J.
A. Scott, of Bear Creek township,
has recently killed three wild turkeys
that
were remarkably large, one cf
them weighing twenty-three pounds
and the otiier two weighing twenty
two pound apiece, and having beards
eleven and eleven and a half inches
long. Now, beat this if you can.
Changeable Weather.
Within a week's time we have had
as changeable weather as ever known
iu this latitude. The three last
days of last week were excessively
hot, hotter indeed than it usually is
in July, the thermometer indicating
a temperature of 9-4 degrees, and
yet the first days of this week were
unseasonably cool, the thermometer
yesterday going down as low as 50
degrees, making fires and winter
clothing quite comfortable again.
Change of Schedule.
There has been a slight change
made in the schedule of the mail
trains on the Raleigh & Augusta Air
Lino railroad, resuming the same old
schedule that existed prior to the
change made nbout two months ago.
The mail train will hereafter leave
Raleigh at 7:15 p. m. and arrive at
a. m. A passenger coach his
been put on the freight train, which
yill be a great convenience to persons
living along the time of this road.
This train leaves Raleigh at 7 a. in.
and arrives at 2:10 p. m.
Suggestion to Letter-Writers.
All persons who write many letters
should always have their address
written or printed upon the envelope
uith request to return if not called
for within a certain time. This cus
t urn generally prevails among business
men and has proved to be of much
service. It is state.) that during the
last year over 25,000 letters, contain
ing one million three hundred and
one thousand seven hundred and
eighty dollars, were sent to the Dead
Letter Office, Washington, a large
share of t i em because of a lack of
care in the address on the envelope.
Every one of them would have been
returned to thn writers by the Post
masters, within ten days, free of
charge, if the return address had
been printed or written on the out
.side.
The New Court-House .
Our county commissioners held a
special meeting last Saturday and de
cid&i upon the plan and specifica
tions for the new court-house. Else
where we publish their advertise
meiit to contractors for proposals for
ouuuing it. ii tiie uuildinfir is erect
ed according to the plan adopted it
will be probably the best arranged
court-house in the State, and will cer
tainly be an honor to our county,
Ihe length will be ninety feet and
width lifty-seven feet. There will
be four trables and four entrances
ihe vestibule being on the western
end, and a cupola eighty seven feet
high on the northern side. The pas
sages are ten feet wide, forming j
rotunda m the centre. On the first
floor will be six rooms (same number
as m our present court house) and
two fire-proof vaults. The court
room is on the second floor, is seven
ty feet long by fifty-three feet wide.
and will have comfortable seats for
at least four hundred persons. In the
roar of the Judge's seat will be a
room for him. There will be three
stairways, two from the vestibule on
the western end and one in the rear
leading up to the Judge's room. The
building will be made of brick and
covered with a tin roof.
Chatham County Tobacco.
The cultivation of tobacco in this
county can be made a very profitable
business, as will be seen from the
following that is copied from the
Durham Recorder :
"Iu old times, the Fayetteville to
bacco market was largely supplied
with the coarse, red sun cured to
bacco, raised on the rich red new
grounds of Chatham county, rolled
roughly to market in hogsheads
which trundled along through jiud
and water without much regard to
the contents of the package. .In truth
the tobacco was hardly worth the
carriage. A quarter of a century ago,
that culture died out entirely, and
Chatham was heard of no more as a
tobacco count', until very recently,
when it has sprung very suddenly in
to the very foremost rank as the pro
ducer of the very finest bright yel
low. The gray lands on the North
em border attracted the eye of intel
ligeut and progressive farmers, and
the experiment was made; with what
success is shown by the experience
of Mr. W. F. Stroud. On Friday
last, he sold in Parrish and Black-
well's, and in Meadows
and Crews'
of his last
warehouses, a portion
years crop,
about $18.
obtaining an average of
At Parrish & Blackwell's
he sold a small lot for 81.55 per
pound, and at Meadows & Crews for
31.05 and $1.15 per pound."
Against Prohibition.
Merry Oiks, X. C, May 14, '81
Mr. Editor : You said iu your pi
per some time ago that you would
publish articles on the side of liquor
as well as on the other side. Now
will you give me a short space in
your paper to express my views ?
Now it is said that all or most of
the evils ot the country are caused
by liquor. I deny it and call for the
proof. Liquor hurts no man unless
he drinks it, and it is a first rate
medicine in colic and snake bites.
But they say if there are stills and
bar-rooms men will drink too much
spirits, and I heard a certain man
not long ago speaking of a girl at
Merry uafcs last year killed by drink
ing tr much spirits. He was trying
to hurt the liquor business by this
case. .Now sir, I would just ask this
question. Suppose it is true that men
and women sometimes drink too
much, who have they got to blame
for it but themselves ? No one is
forced to drink at all. Now sir, there
was as much whiskey made, drunk and
sold in the time of St. Paul, I believe,
as there is now. Now if it is such a
great sin to still whiskey and have
a bar-room, why did not Paul say so?
He did not. He said certain, that it
is good to take something for the
ft niach's sake. If people want to
drink too much it is their own busi
ness. If a man wants to get drunk
let him get drunk. Let every tub
stand on its own bottom. Sir, I am
in favor of liberty and I don't want
my liberty taken away from me. I
wont say whether I have ever made
or sold liquor or not. But I say that
in this free country, I have as much
right to make and sell spirits as Mr.
Lasater has to sell calico. Why not ?
I thought in a free country every
man had a right to do as be pleased.
Sir, my forefathers in the Revolution
fought for liberty. I have always
been of the same principles. I have
always been a libertine. All my
family are libertines. And I expect
to be so till I die. Therefore sir, I
call upon all the libertines in Chat
ham to vote against this bill next
August. I am not afraid nor asham
ed to express my principles, I am
willing to argue this question with
any of them on the other side.
We must be particular hereafter
who we send to the Legislature. We
ought to elect none but. libertines.
Sir, it is said by some that the liquor
seller makes a great deal of money,
I deny it. Some of them I know
make something and are thus able to
suppott their families, but there are
few who do this. The biggist part
of them make very little, and yet a
poor fellow who follows this business
is abused all over the State. I say
this is persecution. I say Mr. Editor
that a man who sells liquor is just as
respectable as any merchant in Mer
ry Oaks, and they are better friends
of the poor women and children than
a great many others.
Now sir, I hope every body in Au
gust will vote against Prohibition.
Liquor hurts no man unless he
drinks it. Some times when men are
drunk, they have a little fight. But
generally no harm is done. That
is all. And I say that everywhere,
where they have tried Prohibition it
has done no good. L9t any one
deny this if he dares. And Mr. Edi
tor, the tax, iaid by liquor sellers,
goes to educate the children of the
btate. I say, therefore, that the
liquor sellers are the best friends of
the poor children of the good Old
otate. inereiore 1 hope every body
will vote against Prohibition.

appointed by Gen. W. R. Cox to ex
amine upon the merits of candidates
to fill the vacancy at West Point,
unanimously recommend Mr. Wil
liam H. Wilder of this county for the

Concord Register : On Tuesday,
about half past six in the evening, a
terihic hurricane passed through this
section. In many places in this
county timber was prostrated, fences
blown down and roofs of buildings
stripped.
Ashboro Courier : The Hoover Hill
Mining Co. means business. Con
tracts are out now for the expenditure
of more than 850,000, and it is said
that $350,000 more is to be expended.
Randolph can afford to welcome such
companies.
Kinston Journal : Mr. R. T.
Daughetj, of Sand Hill township,
had cabbage on the 5th that measured
17 inches across. One dav last week
he caught a blue heron in a fish net,
which measured 5 feet, li inches in
height.
Raleigh Visitor : Frederic W. Si-
raonds, Esq., Professor of Geology,
Zoology and Botany at the Universi
ty of rorth Carolina, has tendered
hia resignation, which was formally
accepted. Prof. Simonds retires on
account of ill health.
Charlotte Democrat : It is announc
ed that there is to be a Convention
of the colored people of this State at
Raleigh on the 17th inst., to look
after their political interests (the
offices). They ha 1 better hold a
Convention to look after their breal-and-meat
interests.
Lumberton Robesonian : Wes.
Shaw, a negro living on the planta
tion of Mr. Henry Fairley, abont five
miles from this place, attacked his
wife, about ten days ago, in a field
where they were at work, and beat
her so unmercitully as to render her
totally unable to walk.
Wilmington Review : We hear it
from good authority that Henry Berry
Lowery, the out law chief, still lives,
and he is now aseargent iu theU. S.
Army and is stationed somewhere on
the plains in the far we3t. He left
the Scuffletown section, about the
time of his reported death, in a tool
chest and was taken out of the State
by the way of Charlotte.
Wilmington Review: It
known to farmers thnt
is well
one of
their standing difficulties is that our
colored laborers dislike to split rails
and but few hands are able to
split more than one hundred and
fifty a day out of ordinary pine timber.
But there is a one-armed Confederate
soldier living in Pender county easily
splits his three hundred rails a day
out of common pine trees.
Fayetteville Examiner : The dwell
ing house ot Mr. Jerry Jones,
at Bunn's Level, Harnett county,
was consumed by fire last week. The
house caught from a defective stove
pipe in the kitchen which adjoined
the house. There was a total loss of
everything in the house except a part
of the furniture. We hear that there
was no insurance upon this fine
property.
Alamance Gleaner: An informal
meeting of the friends of the Danville
and Haw River Railroad met in the
Court House this morning for the
purpose of subscribing to the capital
stock. U41 shares were taken. Ihe
number of shares necessaiy to be
taken before the company can be or
ganized is five hundred. We hope
that since such a long step has been
taken in the right direction the
amount necessary will be speedily
subscribed.
charlotte Observer: Mr. Henry
Pannill, of this city, has perfected an
apparatus for catching fish, which
meets the ideal of the lazy fisherman,
entitles him to the thanks of that en
tire class of people. It saves all strain
upon the eyes in watching the cork, all
labor in holding the pole, and enables
a man, if inclined to be literary, to
read his book and fish at the same
time, or to take a nap or do anything
he pleases, so that he keeps within
reasonable distance of his hook.
Moore Gazette : Business engage
ments have rendered it necesary for
us to make frequent trips through
this and adjoining counties during
the past few weeks; and we have
been much gratified at the hard, ear
nest, paying work being done by the
farmers. Every where on large
plantations and small farms in the
cultivation of cotton, and raising of
corn and small grain, the keeping of
the farm in good, thrifty order there
is an improvement, an advancement,
which shows that our people are
moving steadily onward to substan
tial and permanent prosperity. Com
post heaps turned in, piles cf home
made manure being utilized, commer
cial fertilizer used liberally; and with
al, are making this one of the finest
farming sections of Iorth Carolina.
Wilmington Star: An observant
gentleman informs us that there is a
belt running through Granville,
Wako and into Harnett which lies
between sandstone and granite for
mations, in which people live upon an
average longer that elsewhere, where
the hogs never have cholera and cat
tle do not suffer with diseases that
prevail among them elsewhere. We
tell the story as it is told to us.
Elizabeth City Economist : Colum
bia, the county seat of Tyrrel county
is a progressive town since we visi
ted it at the last term of the Superior
court. Local prohibition hae been
the law of the town for a year or more
and exerted a most salutary influence
upon the place. It seemed to impart
new life to business for a while and
was building up the place, but the
present tendency is to extend the
limits rather than build ud the waste
places within the carporation.
Statesville Landmark : The locusts
have come and are infesting the
forests and making the woods of Ire
dell county sonorous with their nctes.
We hear of them south and east of
Statesville, and it is said that they
aoounu in great numbers in Sharpes
burg township, and that the hoo-s
are getting faton them. They come
up out oi me ground, and hogs will
forsake corn for them. These locusts
are not accounted destructive, and
the greatest objection to them is the
monotonous din which thov make
in the woods.
Tarboro Southerner : The commu
nity was shocked on Monday at the
sau intelligence ot the death of
Lobert H Pender, E9q. which occur
red at his homo near Ridcewav on
Monday at 5 o'clock A M. He was
kicked by a colt, on Friday last, which
ue nad gone into the stable to bridle

of riding. When found by the feed
boy he was lvmg m the stable rest
ing his head upon his hand, with a
wound on his iorehead. He was borne
into the house, but never spoke until
his death. The doctor in attendance
said his death was caused by concus
sion oi the brain.
Fayetteville Examiner : Mr. Gao.

office. There is no bell signal at
tached, but this is obviated bv tan
ping on a button in the centre of the
box, which can be heard distinctly at
the other end of the Hue at a con
siderable distance from the instru
ment. Wilson Advance: On Tuesday
morning of this week Mr. Thomas
AmerBon, together with several
others, was ploughing in Mr. J. H.
Draughau's field, about three miles
from town, when a storm came up
and Ihey took shelter under a shed
near by. The lightning striking a
tree near the shec, passed down a
post within two feet of the place
where Mr. Amerson was sitting,
knocking him senseless, burning his
shoulders and the side of his head,
and at the same time striking a horse,
which fell on Mr. Amerson. The
others who were under the shed "were j
not injured.
Robesonian : Mr. Geo. E. Rancke,
Proprietor of Rancke's Hotel, of this
town, is the owner of a milch cow,
which is very vicious and which can
not be milked without disabling her
from kicking, fighting, &c. Often
when something to oat is given her
she will paw and break in pieces the
vessel containing it. Last Sunday
morning she was especially obstreper
ous, her looks Bwearing sudden de
struction against all that could be in
jured, owner included. Having heard
binding a cord around just above the
udder would render docile the most
refractory cow, Mr. Rancke tried it
with the best results. The cow stood
perfectly still while she was being
milked and until the cord was re
moved. Durham Recorder : In our last wo
briefly mentioned the accident which
befei Dr. W. R. Hughes, with some
inaccuracies of statement. He was
driving homeward, late in the even
ing at a somewhat rapid rate, when
the wheels of his buggy ran into a
drain which crossed the road, caus
ing him to lose his seat and fall
violently out on hid face which was
severely cut by 'pointed rocks. His
right arm was badly broken, the
boues protruding. He was taken to
the residence of Mr. Richard Thom
son, near by, where he remained until
next morning when he was taken to
his home. There was unfortunate de
lay, in procuring surgical aid. Ery
sipelas rapidly supervened, and he
died on Sunday morning at 2 o'clock
Newbernian : The shipment of fish
from Newberne from the 1st day of
October, 1880, to the 1st of April,
1881, numbered 7,680 tubs, contain
ing an average weight of 175 poundr,
aggregating 1,344,000 pounds of fresh
fish ; this statement does not include
salt fish, such as mullet, mackerel,
herring and other varieties, of which
hundreds upon hundreds of barrels
are shipped throughout the year, but
embrace only fresh fish, iced and
intended for immediate use. When
we inform our readers that Newbern
fish compete in the Southern cities,
Augusta, Atlanta and even Macon,
with fish from Savannah, and that
they find ready sale in the larger
cities of the North, then they can
form some estimate of its importance.
To supply the local demand, we are
informed, requires from 500 to 1,000
bunches of fish daily. Of the edi le
fish offered for sale in our market,
there are over sixty different varieties,
among which are some of the most
delicious and highly-prized fish that
swim in tho waters of America.
Granville Free Lance: The stock
holders of a railroad to run from
Roxboro to some other point, either
Uxiord, .Durham or South Boston,
met in that place last Saturday. A
Board of Directors was elected, and
the Board afterwards elected the
following officers: Col C. S. Win-
stead, Pretident; Thos H. Stroet.
Treasurer, and W. E. Webb, Secre
tary. The private subscription amoun
ted to $17,000. Mr. W. T. Black
weli sent word to the meeting that he
would subscribe $10,000 or more if
the road was run to Durham.
Statesville Landmark: Intelligence
of an occurrence at once comical and
tragical, comes from Union Grove
township, in the extreme northern
part of this county. One day last
week a youth of the name of John
Brown, aged twenty or twenty-one
years, with a view to breaking a little
nephew of the habit of eatiog dirt,
which he had unhappily contracted,
took him out to a tree and told him
of his purpose to hang him for his
vile habit. Ho accordingly tied a rope
around his neck and swung him up
to a limb. After letting him hang
awhile, for the purpose of frightening
him thoroughly, he cut the child
down, but unfortunately the experi
ment had been carried too far. The
same night the child died. No one
ascribes to the uncle any criminal
purpose and he has not been taken
into custody.
With all due respect to the opin
ion of our esteemed contemporary
we cannot see anything " comical " in
this homicide, but think the murder
er ought to be nuuished. or tdaced
in an insane asylum. Ed. Record.
