A love Colored Crow,
Monday evening Mr. I F Miller
son of Mr. R O S Miller, - of our
city, brought into our .office a crow
that was killed on the Pitts place,
about six miles from town, that re
sembled a dove in color, but others
wise bore the features of a crow
even a dead one. We Erst thought
probably it had got frost bitten, but
that idea was knocked in the head
after .we had learned where this
cheeky fowl was' murdered. "The
thoughts of Mr. Pitts moving to
town and not back to his plantation
troubled MrXJrow until its feathers
actually turned gray.

The Yf &tfuIiitok uorrespondeiit oi
ti e News and Observer says :
"Representative Coombs, of Ncn
York, one of the t-st Democratir
representativeSj says that the worst
result of Democratic defeat. i3 that
when the times improve, s they will
attribute the improvement to th
Republican victory this fali, and be
inclined to vote that way in 1896.
Another thing : At the last session
of Congress, the Democrats were
compelled to appropriate large sums
to carry out contracts made by the
Reed Congress, and at this session it
will require a forty or fifty million
dollar appropriation to finish vessels
for tbt navy. The Democrats are
not making any costly contracte,
and when the Republicans come m
next fall, the expenses of govern
ment "(thanks to this Democratic
Congress) will be considerably cut
down, but 'the Republicans will get
all the credit of it. The Democrats
inherited a bankrupt treasury and a
panic which would have swamped
uny party for the time being. But
it will come in, m 1896, 1 think, if
tha people can be given the facts.
The very fears of Mr. Coombs, if
we permit the Eepubiiciins to mis
lead the people, and misapply the
real truth3 ot legislation, it will he
u.uersiit.
About the Bonds.
Up to the time of going to pre3
tho county commissioners were ctill
hard at work looking over and
qualifying the bondsmen for our
new officers.. This has been a hard
day's work for our fathers and u
tedious one, too. The bonds wiL
all be straightened out by tomorrow,
any rate, and we will let yon know
then just Low things stand.

The last letter writen by the late
Dr. Abernathy was an appeal to his
friends to assist him to finish paying
for Rutherford College. It was dear
to his heart and naturally so, for
within its walls he had taught
hundreds of aspiring youths. Not a
