Cobb and wife re turned home last Saturday from an extended tiip through Florida. The Major says there was little rain in that State during their stay there. Any work, no matter how hum b!e, that a man honors by efficient labor and steady application, will be found important enough to sei cure respect for himself and credit for his name, Ex. Capt. T. L.

Her remains were interred in the White church cemetery. Mr. Augustus Curry, of Green ville, visited here last Thursday.

Yes, and there are 10,000,000 human be ings and mora in America with shelters scarcely sufficient to protect them from the snows and freezing weather of Winter ! Among other Improvements about Lincolnton we are glad to note the improvement in the LlN coln Courier. Few county pa pers are more creditable to their county than our own COURIER. It speaks well for the town, aud some ot the advertisements are a credit to the business enterprise of the place. Uearty Worker. . j The last census gives Lincoln county's population as 12,586. While the census ot 1880 numbers our people as 11,061, a gain of 1525. The population of North Carolina is 1,617,947 against 1,399,750 in 1880, a gain of 218,197. These fig ures are in accordance with the res port sent out by Superintendent of Census, Porter. Peter Huskins, colored, was brought up before Esq. S. W. Mc Kee last Monday under arrest for trespass on the lands of Mr. Moses Heavner, a few miles from town, and also for attempted assault upon Mr, Heavner.

There will be a week's vacation, after which the school at the Seminary will be resumed by Prof." 'Hotteustein and assistants. The school, so far as we can learn? has given perfect satisfaction, and there will no dcubt be a large pat ronage throughout the regular school term, Speaking of J udge Hoke the Morganton Herald says : "Judge W, A. Hoke, who has Just finished his first court iu Bnrka, will take a high stand among the Judges of the State. He is a fine lawyer, cool clear headed aud courteous at all times and to everybody. He has di94 patched the business of the court iu such a way as to make a fine im pression on the members of the bar and all those who had business be fore the court."

Preparations i had been made for this entertain- j mer.r at the dos of the public) se'n-o' H-'ver.! weeks a'o, but the weather wa unfavorable as to I prevent the oarrving out of the program as intend !. We under stand considerable preparations are being made and an enjoyable dy is anticipated. Lincolnton 13 undoubtedly on a boom. Let the ball roll on. God has done much for this place. It ought to be one of the leading towns in this part ot the Carolmas. P will be if some avaricious slowscoach doe. not get in the way. Now let us all unite with our faces toward a bright future, and everybody push for water works, improvements and enlargements. Everything else moves and why should Lincolnton stand still ? Lincolnton like every thing else, can't stand still. Not to go forward now means that we get left and starve out as a town. Who will be responsible for it? Not the Maker of this beautiful place and snrronnrtings, for he has put the el ements of success and the resources from which to build up a town right here. Who starves with plenty all around ? The miser. Has he a'-j other name T Hearty Worker. Music Festival.

L Whereas, The omnipotent God whose purposes are mysterious to us, and whose love is infinite, has in an unexpected way removed from the church militant to the church triumphant our much loved and es teemed pastor, Rev. M.L. Little, who labored so faithfully for our eternal welfare, be it Resolved, That while we lament our loss, we submissively bow to this mysterious dispensation of God's providence, knowing that He doeth all thiugs well, and that all his judgments are not without a righteous purpose. Resolved. That we cherish his memory and imitate his many ex cellenciea of character, by his works of faith and labors of love, "he be ing dead yet speaketh." And that we live more closely to those truths and principles which our departed pastor ever held before us. Resolved t That we commend the fanaly of our departed pastor to the care and keeping of the merciful God whose grace is sufficient to sustain us all iu this sad bereave ment. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent tc ihe Dallas Eagle, the Lincoln Courier and the Gastonia Gazette, with request to publish. S. S. Mauxey, j M. L, Rudisill, Committee. L. H. J.

We take the following account from the Ral eigh Xeicsd- Observer: "The occurt nee was at the brick yard about a mile and a half east of the city near the North Carolina Railroad. A number of long term convicts were at work here and about. 11 o'clock yesterday morniug three of them supposed they could travel fuller than the lead which would bo sent afcer them from the muzzles of the. guns of the guards, made a break and attempted to es cape. The guard opened fire, their shots taking effect upon two of the convicts. John Medlin, a young white man twenty years old. from the western part of the State, sen tenced to seven years for burglary, was shot through the center of the abdomen and also through the left thigh. As soon as a physician had examined him ho declared that he was fatally wounded and could only live a sh rt time. He had served out six months of his time. Tom Mitchell, of Warren county, sentenced to 25 years for burglary, was also struck, ihe bullet passing through the left thigh four inches above the knee, and it w:-a feared that his leg would have to be am putated. No further trouble occurred, aud no convicts escaped. Late last night Medlin was still alive, though there is scarcely any hope of his recovery. It has been decided to amputate the leg of Mitchell today." V Letter From Hull s X Roads. Editor Lincoln Courier: I was called iu haste early this morniug to visit Albert Franklin Williams, a young man 22 years of age, who lived with his youngest sister, about one mile from my house. When' I arrived I found the young man in his bed dead. He was lying on his side in a natural position, hi limbs were stiff and extremities cold, some warmth about the body. Upon in vestigation, his ister says she Jet t home yesterday evening about four o'clock to stay all night with her brother-in-law, who lived about three quarters of a mile away. Her brother, the deceased, had put out the fire and was shutting up the house and going somewhere, she did not ask him where. She came home this morning, fed the things, went to the house, fouud it shut up, she went ronud to the window aud saw her brother's overcoat hanging on a chair, and saw the key in the look iuside. She raised the window, weut in to his bed, called aud shook him, but found him dead, as above described. Upon further investiga tion, J. C. King, who lives some two miles from the deceased, says the deceased came to his house last night about dusk, ate supper there and left between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning,, and seemed to be perfectly well when he left there. From all appearances, it. seems clear that the deceased came home some timeiu the night. His clothes were all found in nsual place and condi tion. He was seized, it. seems, with some heart trouble and died with. out a struggle. The deceased's fa ther died in August, 1S88, being a very old man, and his mother in November following with cancer of the breast- So the deceased and his sister, Miss Hitta, about 20 years old, and a niece about 5 or 6 years old, constituted the family. I learn he had complained at different times of severe pains near his heart. I am satisfied he died from natural cause and it being disease of the heart. The deceased was a stout heart3' looking young man in the prime of youth, He was peaceable, quiet, sociable and bears a good name with all his acquaintances. It is one more warning to the living to be ready, ' for the hour comes when no man knoweth, W. A. Thompson. March 9, 1891. Stretching ihe Telephone.
