I ■ v Our neighbor or rather elder sinter, 'Stokes countv, will be one hundred „ jears old in 1888. Forsyth, as is well Vnnwn is a slice ft ow the parent stem, * ■Stokes, aid it is hut mete that the c«l- 11 ebratiou, to Bonto extent, shyuld be in J nn'mon. Our neighbors across the line propose, we loam, to make a grand de nonstretion, and we heartily accord trith the idea. Centennial do not come ( oftea and let then be duly celebrated.— Winston Republican. Onj contemporary is iu error lusta- ( tjng that Stoke ■» will bo one TOfltcd years old in 1888. The aet forming | Stoke*«iuuly was pissed during the I 4«ft«ral Aseiubly which was held at i Fayettcrille in 1789, and was' ratified m the 22nd day of Docember 1789. Therefore the one hundredth anniversu- ' ( ri, or Centencial, of the formation of ( Stokes counly will occur on the 22d of Dcco i.bcr ISS9. The act is ti tled "an act for dividing the County of Surry into two distiuct counties, and ' for other purposes." The preniable ' reads: "Whereas the large extent and . inconvunent situation of the countv of , Surry, render the attendance of the inhabitants of the extreme parts at Ouurts, elections and General Musters, difficult and expensive; for remedy whereof, and to gratify the withe* of tbe good people of the said county, etc. The first section defines the line by which the county of Surrv shall be di vided into two distinct counties. Tbe 2nd enacts-'That all that part of the said cuunty, lying west of said line, shall be erected iuto a distiuct county by tbe name yf Surry county, and al! that part lying east of said line, shall ite erected into another distinct couuty by the name of Stoke/ county. "The 3d, sth, 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th sections 6f the aot arc omitted as "unnescssary , to bi iinartcd." The 4th section pro vides for the adminstation of justice and that tbe first .court for the county of Stokes shall be held at tbe bouse of | Gray Buynum, and that the justices for eaoh of tbe said counties of Surry and Stokes, are hereby authorized to adjourn to such places in the'r rospeotive coun ties as they think most convenient to hold all subsequent courts uutil eouit bouses shall be built iu each respective county. The 10th section provides for appointed ju-ors at the Superior Courts for the dist.ict of Salisbury of which judicial diMriot tbe said counties corn nosed a part. The act to establsh a town at the place fixed upon for tbe oourt-house in Stokes county was a pri vate act passed during tbe first session of tbe Assembly at Fayetteville 1790, and ratified 15th of Dccembor 17- 90. t . A DISPATCH FROM WASHINGTON da ted Oct. 21 says it is tbe impression there that the popular mind is mistaken as to the extent to which Mr. Carlisle and his colleagues are willing to go in reducing internal revenues; it says "they are not committed to a lepeal of the whole 'ax on tobacco, but only if the license system of the law, which re quires every dealer in tobacco to take out a license and forbids the sale of tobacco by the grower to any other thau a licensed dealer." Lord Lytton, ,bas boon appointed Etigliili ambassador to l'a is. Tbe appointineot is a surprise to tho diplo mats, as, while tho appointee is regard, ed by politicians and the public gener ally as a poet only, and his career in India seems to bear out this latter view Tbe embassy to Paris, however, is aot nowofthoimportance. it once .was—* Raleigh *Yno»- Observer. Lord LyttoG, known in literature under tbe dome do plume of Oweu Meredith, is no novioe in diplomacy. He vm attached.to the British Legation at Washington, while his uncle Sir Henry Bulwer was Minister, since which tine he h»» filled numerous position' in Ibe career of diplomacy a ftnrnpeu courts, either as secretary of I gat.in i 0 large d' afT. ires or minister It i a isurd, to our thinking, to regard l.i. ,b gli Uler.'rj H'lUUto n, as unfitting him for performing the fuuotiuas of am- bassadoi at Paris at it would be to at tempt to reason thalGladftouc's finished ' \ sobola.ship disqualifies hiiu for the ar- ( duous and exactidg position of a stales- , man and political leader. i.j' - . i = STATE GLEANINGS.

That might be followed in every town. Sylva (Webster co.) Herald-. We have had placed on our table two specimen ! ears of an average growth of corn, from the field of Capt. Felix Luck, near the j'jove school bouse, that comes tbe near est to beinij wbat we conceive corn ought to be, than any we have teen late ly The two ears weigh two and one fourth pounds, with a medium sized cub, with the norn compactly grown around it in eighteen well filled rows. These specimens wele not selroted, but show tbe average growth of the field. From the same farm comes another exhibit. It is that of a single stalk of eorn that is fifteen feet four inches long, and not the sign of an cai on it. This would yeild heavy in forage but would be poverty for corn. Webster's Weekly: Whilo in Danville last Friday Judge Aiken told us that be had just returned from Washington City, and that while there be saw Mr. Reid and talked about an hour with bim. Mr. Reid will settle somewbero ou the Pacific slope.—A very curious phenomenon is reported to us by a friend Hesaystbata couples of cows near Prestoaville, while eating the leaves from a broken limb of a wild cherry tree sud denly sickened and died witbiu ao hour. The strange part of the matter is '.hat if' a oow will eat the leaves from the tree as it stands it stands in its natural state ■he will not suffer from the effects. We suppose tho cause of their decease was due to the balsam which ran from tbe broken branches of the tree, and which is, no duubt, poisonous to the bovine. This misfortune should mako people careful not to leave broken wild oherry tree limbs where the oows can get to i hem BRIEFS OF GENERAL NEWS.

Lebanon Sha'iers . Found— Incident in the His tory of a Quiet Community. • i . l i • •"' t ' t Ti;3 Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com munity, sci'ljuled from the fret| and worry of the outside world, i ' They aro widely known, Low- I ever, for their strict honor and 1 j probity in business.; f1» /f' f J t Tho Shakers believe that nr.-1 B turo lir.9 a remedy for every dis ease.' A few have been found— f tho rest are as yet unknown. '» Many were discovered by acei -0 dent. . Others camo to light as the result of patient experiment sard research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com* y paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. It isJMpint "affection of j the digestive Organs niid of the ( nervotta system.These two were formerly*treatetl as sepa rate ailments, r.nd it was left for the clear-sighted Shakers » to prove that tae basis of this terrible and ofren fatal compli cation lic.t chiefly in tho disord b ered and depraved furetions of f digestion and nutrition.. They reasoned thus:—"li wa can in duce tin stomach to do its * work, and stimulate the excre tive organs to drive out of the II hotly the poisonous waste mat t'T3 which remain after the life giving elements of the food liava been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous l>ys a pepsia and Nervous Exhaust ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel's K Syrup) in less complicated though similar diseases, r they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in -1 curabh—with perfect euccvss in eveiy instance where their - directions as to living and diet | wero scrupulous'V followed. o Nervous I'yspepsia and Ex haustion is a peculiarly Ameri can disease. To a greater or 0 less extent lia'.f the people of r this county puffer from it— both sexes and all ages. In no country in the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its hading symptoms are these: ; Frequent or continual head a ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau fceous eructations; the risinu' u of sour anil pungent fluids U f the throat; a sense of oppress ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep; dist -1 gust with food even when - weak from the need of it; stick}' 11 or slimy matter on the teeth oi e in the mouth, especially on ris ing in the morning; furred ami coated tongue; dud eyes; cold Lands and feet; constipation; jj dry or rough tkin ; inability to fix tho mind on any lalior call ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad forts -6 bodings ami fears. All this terrible group y Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) removes by its pos j itiye, powerful, direct yet > painless and.gvntle action upon x the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and • strengthen the system are sent 1 upon their mission, while all e waste matters (the ashtsof life's fire) which unremoved, poison l( and kill, are expelled from the b«dy through the Wvels, kid neys and sk in. The weak and - prostrated nerves are quieted- B toned and fed by the purified 1 blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessing* i and power, returns to the suf ferer who hail, perhaps, aband t oned all hope of ever seeing another well day. s NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS.
