The bereaved parents have the deepest sympathy of many lov ing friends here and elsewhere f Several entertainments were given by the different churches during the holidays, which were well attend and pro nounced every one a success. We cannot undertake the task to give each one special mention as they were too numerous. A very good resolution for our business men to make is to resolve to patronize their home job office when in need of sta tionery. We appreciate your orders and guarantee to meet the competition of anv honest printer. Keep every dollar at home you possibly can. On Tuesday night before Christmas a mob of men" over powered the jailer at the Samp son county jail and liberated one Archie Sauls who was con fined therein -for the murder of John Herring at Beman's Cross Roads in October. - It is sup posed that he was taken out by his friends as there was no sign of-a lynching.

Jones left to day for Raleigh where he goes to prosecute the contest for the seat in the Senate now occupied byMr.F. M. White of Samp son. Mr. Jones is confident that the Senate will give him the seat upon the evidence of fraud and irregularities that he has secured already. He is clearly entitled to his seat. McKay Bros. & Skinner will have on and after January 10th, at their drugstore, an as sortment of the best tobacco seed to be had. They will give them away free of charge to all who call for them.

Clifford to Miss Annie Faison Pearsall at the residence of the bride's mother in this town, which was solemnized on the evening of the 21st of Decem ber last, was one of the hap piest Events of the season. The bride and groom - are favorites with all our people who wish for them a long life of . peace happiness and prosperity. A correspondent of the Ral eigh News and Observer writ ing from Dunn gave the follow ing announcement of the rnar riage which we give with pleas ure : Mr. J. C. Clifford and Miss Annie Faison Pearsall were married at the home of Mrs Rachel Pearsall, mother of the bride, last night at nine o'clock, Rev. II. G. Hill, D. D., of Flo ral College, officiating. On ac count of the prominence and popularity of the parties the I marriage of this young couple i was nmrp tup snmri. prpnr nr np season in this section of the state. Mr. uiinora is a young lawyer of great promise, and is the chairman of our county Democratic executive commit- tee, while the bride is a young lady of rare grace of person and beauty of character, and a so cial favorite wherever she is known. These- young people begin their joint lives under the most auspicious surroundings, and a host of friends bid them bon voyage through life. The bridal presents were nu merous and costly, evincing the high esteem in which the recip ients were held by a large circle of friends. The' marriage was to have ta ken place in the ehurch and ela borate preparations therefor had been made, but the recent indisposition of the bride made a home wedding necessary. At 8:45 the spacious .parlors of Mrs. Pearsall were thrownopen to receive the invited guests and at 9 the beautiful ceremony was performed which made "this twain one flesh." After the marriage a sumptuous supper was spread such a supper as discriminating taste and social culture only can suggest that taste which our best Southern people still retain notwithstand ing the mutations of time on the fortunes of war.

To All Whom it May Concern : After consulting with several of the citizens of the town and some from the surrounding country, it has been decided to call a meeting of all those inter ested in the establishment of a tobacco market at this place, to set on foot the erection of at least two tobacco warehouses at the town hall next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. It is earnestly hoped that all the business men of Dunn will turn out and not only discuss the matter but take hold in a substantial wav. The meeting will be open for all and it is hoped that as many of our coun try people will attend as pos sible. No time is' to be lost, in this movement. . Let every man put his shoulder to the wdieel and we will put the biggest move on Dunn that she has ever known. You can't afford to sit down in idleness while all the towns that surround us are marching to the music of prosperity. Let us meet Tuesday night and put the ball to rolling. Five cent cotton is a failure and the farmers are forced to give it up as a moneyed crop. Talk tobacco and plant tobacco and see if you are not benefited by the change. Gun Contest. The pumpkin-gun contest of the Dunn Hardware & Furniture Company closed on the night of December 24th last at 9 o clock. The pumpkin was cut and found to contain 376.
