Nixon, of Lincoln couuty, in tbe Newton Enterprise, cop:ed from the Courier, concern - ing the early settlement of the Del linger family in that county, for the benefit and information of the wri ter and tb3 mulcts generally, I will add some additional facts relating to this family, thai I know persons ally and have gathered from aged persons. Traditional history always has told us that obc Jon Dellinger led the Whigs by a certain route from the Tnckasege Ford on the Cataw ba river to Ramsour's Mill, where the Tories had rendezvoused, and had given them a full explanation of the location of the country, and the best and surest mode of attack. It. always had been further said of him that he claimed aud possessed some supernatural powers of coeju ration, and by these powers he could check the velocity of musket or rifle balls, so that tbey could not pene trate the skin wherever the sun did not shine on it. He was in this bat tle, and tradition always said tbat after tbe battle was over be opened his shirt bosom and a peck of bul lets ran out. I give it only as tra dition. I am personally acquainted with his descendants, as tbey were born and raised in my immediate neighborhood. After peace was de dared, be married a daughter of Henry Widener (now spelled White ner) who was tba first settler of this portion of the country, now Cataw ba county. He bad entered a large scope of laud on Henry and Jacob's Fork Rivers, wbicb two rivers form the South Fork, m about year 1747, and willed a large tract to Delliner's wife on both sides of Jacob's Fork River, adjoining lands ot my grand father. Widener made bis will ! when she had five children and j r ained three children in his wiil,and ' after his death she had two more I sons, and these two were forever ex j eluded. Detlmger settled on this frm on Jacob's Fork river and bad Catharine Setzer, and had tbe fol lowing children : Matthias, who had named a Mbs Franklin and settled in Yancey county, David, who bad taarried a lady from Rockingham ounty, Elfcaua had married her tister, John bad married Planteua Wbitener. All are dead- Reuben ; nd Monro, I do not know who tbey mairied- Lavinia aud Catha rine bad mairied Wisemen an t Car penter from Yancey couuty. Marga ret had married George Wbitener and had a large family. I do not know who Adeline mairied. Tbey are all scattered atou, and ihe lands owned by John Dellinger have nearly all passed into other bands. Joseph Dellinger had married a Miss Sigman and left bis farm o:i Jacob's Fork river and went to bis wife's farm on Liles Creek, where be died. They had the following ! children : John, Logao,David, Auna i Betsey, and Lavina. All tbese are dead, but have children living. John j and David died single men. Cath anne. the oldest daughter nf.Inhn Dellinger, bad married Jacob Yoder, the second son cf Co-.rad Yoder, and went to the Territory of Indi- ana, which afterwards became a State. Barbara, the second dangle i " Uttae' 11 luero oe an-v wr ter, bad marred HenrvSiffInfln flrrli:ienleilce hoQ,d Dot l P their children are dead, but have grand children living. Jacob Del linger, one ot John's sous, who was born after Widener had made bis will, bad married Sallie Setzer, a sister to Henrv's wife. Tbey and some of the children are dead. Mar- cus Dellinger, who is living in Lin coin county, near Beanie's Ford, is a descendant of John Dellinger and a son of Jacob Dellinger. Abram left couutry and I don't know now where he went to. 1 have given a condensed history of the family of John Dellinger, the old Revolution ary soldier. Tradition and facts at ways said tbat old Henry Widener, his father-in-law, never had any good friendship for him and tbat is the reason why be willed his lands to those five children. It was al ways said that bis wife did not exi actly treat bim like a wite ought to treat ber husband, aud he left home and went to his boo Joseph, on Lile's Creek, where be died at a good old age, aud after his death his wife drew a large pension. I hope that these few historical facts relat ing to John Deliingo; will prove advantageous to the many readera as histoiical information. This was written hurriedly; there may be some omission. G. M. Yoder. Jacob's Fork, Catawba Co., N. C, April 23rd, 1892. N. B. Peter Mostellr owned one of these Dellinger lands here thut he bad bought from Henry Delling er, and then gave it to his soumu law, Moses Wilson, who bad mar ned Peggy Mosteiler. Tbe farm is now owned by J. M, Finger, Mr. Abeniettiy'c Manly. Words, Mr. W. E. Abeauetby, Alliance lecturer for Burke, writes a manly letter to tbe Morganton Herald in which he says tbe reason why his resignation was requested by the county Alliance was his recent let ter to the State Chronicle. He says : A few men of extreme views were hurt by my letter to the State Chronicle, and they in plain violation of the Alliance Consti tution commented on that article in the county Alliance, and sent reso lutions to tbe Progressive Farmer condemning the same. I am per, tectly willing to leave to tbe sense of fainplay and honor of every man iu Burk, the condemnation of this action affecting a citizen absent and unsummoned ; for of course, had I been present on the floor, not one of these men would have opened his mouth. If any white man in North Carolina felt wonnded by that letter, he ought to be ashamed to coufess it. I know I am right, and I make no apology for being in the right. "When Barke county, conservaN tive and careful as she is, comes to ber sober second thought, she will j r?pudiate all Third party, St. Loais torn foo'ery, with the men who are now trying for selfish ends the fo ment strife between brethren. Did you read the j-roceedings ot tbat convention wbicb met in Raleigh on April 14tb ? Tbese are the per timed and pretry gentlemen to v hose mercies they would again de liver our county. uod save the State and help such mad people! If tae light hurts any man's eyes it is tbe fault of his bat-eyes, not the light, the truth." A LITTLE GIRL'S EXPERIENCE IN A LIGHTHOUSE. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers ot the Got. Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a daughter four years old. Last April she was takea down with meisjes, followed with a dread ful cous;h and turning into a fever. Doc tors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she crew worse rapidly, until she w.8 a mere '-handful of bones." Then she tried Dr. King's New DiscoTery and after the use of to and a half bottle was completely cured.

And now as to pension8,there is not a word said in the demands of tbe Labor Conference that met in St. Louis, 22nd Feb., about pen sions. As to the paying of Union soldiers the difference between greenbacks and gold at the time they were paid off, I would just say that the political party which the Editor of the Courier represents, is quite clamorous just now, and Mr. Cleveland, the idol of the Coos ieh, has been quite clamorous for a long time to have all public and private obligations met by the prompt payment of honest money. Certaiuly tbe Editor of the Courier does not want good money for Wall street aud bad money for the sol diers of the United States. If it was rig'ht to pay tb soldiers of tbe Uuited States at all, it was right to give them exactly one hundred cents for every dollar that tbe Con gress pretended to give them. Aud if those soldiers did not get one hundred cents for every dollar that was pretended to be given them, they ought; to get it now. This,Mr. Editor, is the Bloody Shirt. You have washed the old rag a little.but it can yet be recognized. I have always been a Democrat, and no one who heard me on the last cam paign could be left iu any doubt about that. But it would better be understood once for all that if the Democratic party desires to escape utter disaster, it must break up to tally any and all connections it may have with the money rings and monopolists of the country, and stand squarely for tbe reforms de manded by tbe farmers and otber laboring classes of th- Union. All fairminded Democrats in tbe South em section of onr country admit tnat if the conditions now prevail ing continue only a little wnilo lon ger, the country will coino to ruin Then in the name of all tbat is good why temporize longer t Does any o&e who has good common sense bdieve tbat freo binding twine, free cotton ties, free cat gut, and free wool, will give tbe people tbe relief tiiey need or lift the burthens of the i i quitous tariff ? Can tbe farmers and laborers of the country certain ly ascertain from the public utter ances of tbe leaders of the demc critic party, just where and how that party stands as a whole npon asy of tbe great reforms wbicb the 1;. )oring masses of the people of this country are demanding to-day? The Democratic party can never be 8ticcesslul until it does in earnest iej itself about the task of obtain i in i for tbe people emancipation from the financial slavery under which they are suffering. It is uses te s and in roy judgment foolish for anyone to say that there is no con sidcraole number of white voters in N- C. tbat wiil vote for the third party candidate next fall. There are quite a number of men in Lin ccln county, as good and as patri otic as ever lived in ' any coonty, wbo do not want to go into a third party it they can help it, but never theless have tcade up their minds to go with tbe Third party, if doing so shall be tbe only means of gets ting wbat they want and what tbey j of light ought to have. Now, Mr. ! Editor, I am a Democrat, but am heart and sonl for tbe Alliance dev mands, believing these demands to be the simplest and purest Democ racy tbat has been taught for fifty years, for aa 1 go back to tbe crystal fountain of Democracy, I see re uVcled through its pure waters all along down tbe ages.that the aim and purpose ot all patriotic legisla t.on is the greatest good to the greatest number. Believing thi system will accomplish tbjseod,and fiat it is resting on tbe basic rock oi Democracy, my feeble efforts will be iu the future directed towards tiie accomplishment of this end. And now, hoping that our personal relatious will remain in tbe inture as pleasant as tbey have always been in the past, I am, yours truly, C. L. Wilson. Democrat or Tliirl l'uriylte Which. Speaking to ihe text, as wo under slaudhini that -'ihe duty of the leaders ot thb party is to do all in their power to induce Democrats to come into the Democratic primaries, aud not try to drive them out by the setting np of new teste," Mr. Jose phus Daniels, late editor of the Ualeigb Chronicle, asks : "Who gave the central Democratic committee of Iredell or auy otber county the right to drive the Alliancemen who support the St. Louis demands out of the Democratic party !" And Mr. Darnels add : '4The demands adopted by tbe St. Louis conference ot labor organizations were after wards endorsed by the Thud party; but there are tbousauda of Alliance men wbo endorse the demands wbo are hostile to the Third party." We are fallen on queer days. Men who believe strange things tbat have to do with matters of great public int rest aud are thereioio par ts of political creeds, can, it weems, be lieve iu what tht Democracy does not aud never will, and jet be anx ious to vote the Democratic ticket, so that those same strange doctrines may never be letted! What is Democracy but its principles I And what is tbe Third patty it it in not the St. Louis demitnds: its princi ples ? Itaniau believes in tb Third party demands it is reaeoua ble to suppose he will wish to act with the party that does not believe in them? The Democratic party wants all the votes it can get, but it wauts sincere votet. To deny a man wbo believes in the Third par ty a place in a Democratic conven tion is not "the setting up of new tests," as Mr. Daniels seems to think. Tbe present Democratic tests are old ones. It is tbe Third party that has furnished new tests, and those are for admission into tbat party. Mr. Daniels also says: "I would be i,lad for ubairman Smith to say if leading Alliancemen wbo believe in the St. Louis platform are to be exploded from the Democratic pri oceries because of their belief. Jf they are not, then the humblest man ir Iredell county who entertains the Sfiiae view can participate in tbe pnroaries freely, and not only has ttf. right to do so, but it is a high dtr.y be owes to himself to do this and to thosdo all be can tb prevent ttt formation of the Third party in North Carolina." How an Allianceman, however humble, who believes in the St. Louis platform can ''do all be can to prevent the formation ot the Third paity in Xorth Carolina'' we confess is pazzling. Such a man would strongly remind the political world of '.he Democrat who should believe in .he platform of that party and dedare he intended to vote the Third party ticket. With this statement of Mr. Dan iel? we can heartily agree : "Every maa must be tbe jadge of his own democracy. His conscience mast decide whether be has a richt to paiticipate in a Democratic prima ry." INOwitaman conscientiously believes wbat tbe St. Louis de maods teach, that the Democratic party is a bad party, he cannot act with that party. CM and water will not mix. Finally, it should be remembered that a man cau be good Alliaoce;nen aud vote the Democratic ticket with a c!a 1 con sc ence ; and thousands of Alliance men are going to do just lhat thing.
