Gouge, from Hakers v i I will begin business in the Martin Bros, building on April 1st. Some others are following the start made by Mr. Hurgin in planting out shade trees on Main street. One hundred and five pupils have been enrolled at the academy since the beginning of the school last fall. We trust Jack Frost will not injure the fruit materially this spring. It is passing through a crisis now. Kev. T. J. Kodgers will preach at Hridgewater on next Saturday night, and on next Sabbath morn ing at 1 1 a. m. Horn to Kev. T. J. and Mrs. Kodgers, on Monday night, a bouncing 12 pound boy. Mother ami child doing well. Mr. Wm. McCail is having his houses near the depot brightened with a pretty coat of paint. This is the time of year to paint. We have the full text of the school law "to encourage local taxation," on which we will make some observation next week. Outside of town news is scarce this week. Farmers are busy planning for another crop. We hope they will have a good one. Mr. W. W. Hailv, of Old Fort, was in town on Monday, and says he hardlv ever saw the roads worse. This is the general com ment. The passenger traffic on the Smithem is beginning to improve alieady as spring approaches. The freight tia'iic appears to be im mense. Mr. C. K. Decker has moved into the house lately vacated by Mi. 1'. I". Simmons, just south of Mr. W. M Dellinger's residence on South Main. This is the brushing up, beau tilyidg season. Nature will come out gradually in a variegated garb of green, trimmed with a variety 01' tl.iwei y colors. I low much every one did luxuriate in the beautiful cler skies and delightful "sunshine af ter the rain." "It is a long lane that has no turn." The legislature reduced the number of schools in the State by several thousand in order to make the money go further. There will be fewer schools in most town ships. "The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," when it is our duty to tell it, and to all alike shall be the duty of this pa per. Thus we will com mend, crit icize all, as deserving. In the last issue of the State Register an editorial correspondent of that paper has a very glowing account of Old Fort and that vicinity. Mr. J. II Blalock is agent for the paper at that place. Farmers are unusually de layed on account of the rains. But no doubt but that arrangements will now be rapidly made' to put seed into the ground. They will come up and grow off the sooner when they start. We would ask our readers to note the change in the advertise ment of tnat sterling merchant. J. S. Dysart. Look over his several lines of goods, and his new spring stock and you will be pleased with quality, price and treatment. We call attention to the ad vertisement in this issue of that mnst excellent druggist and phar macist, W. II.

On Sabbath nights for a time, the pastor will preach on the character and lessons from the chief personages of the Bible. On next Sabbath night on Noah. Our general life and insurance agent, Mr. A. A. Marshall, came home on the 19th from a two weeks trip. He left again on last Tuesday. No green grass grows under his feet. He is succeeding in his business well and will make his home in Marion. The Asheville Gazette says that Mr. Avery Elliott, heretofore a druggist at Burnsville, has ac cepted a position in T. C. Smith's drug store and will locate in Aihe ville with his family. Mr. Elliott is well known in Marion, having lived here several years. We should be glad to secure original articles on practical live topics of the day. Write on one side of the paper, and about five or six pages of letter paper for each communication, this makes about a half column. Better short, pointed, practical articles than long ones. The custon of letting out the maintenance of the county pau pers to the lowest bidder, did not originate with the present board, be it said, but following such a custom it has come to where the living is simply insufficient, nor have they the variety that they should have. All are interested in having them cared for in a better manner. Rev. B. K. Mason, now of Ad vance, N. C, having accepted the call to this field, will begin his work on the second Sabbath in April. On that day he will preach in the Baptist church near Bridge water, on the third Sabbath in in April he will preach in the Bap tist church here. We wish peo ple and pastor much success in the vineyard of the Master. We have heard some com plaints of pistol shots around on the streets at night, and the sidewalks being almost blocked up a few times by a noisy gather ing, and some loud cursing was heard. Now we have not much of this to complain of, but this much ought not so to be, whoever violates. The man who gets drunk and fights, etc., is not the only one who should be arrested for violation of law. On Tuesday about eight p. m., a hail storm of small proportions, struck Marion from the west. Stones of about the size of par tridge eggs, and smaller, peppered down rather lively for awhile. On Wednesday morning the clouds "spit" snow just a little, but there was rather a flurry of snow on the Blue Ridge and Black mountains. Old Mount Mitchell seemed to have on a thin, cold looking white cap, perhaps the last time this spring. We are glad that the rains of winter are over. The city fathers will now have good weather in which to continue the good work on the sidewalks and streets. Our resources are sufficient to keep them in repair, if we cannot now macadamize them, which they very much need. The upper part of Main street for awhile lately was almost, or quite impassable for a loaded wagon; having been left lately nearly flat the water could not run off into the ditches on either side, hence a mudhole when the travel came along. The State Convention of Young People's Society of Chris tian Endeavor will meet in Char lotte, the Queen City of North Carolina, on April 23-25, and for the accommodation of delegates and visitors to this occasion, the Southern Railway will place on sale round-trip tickets from all stations in the State of North Caro lina to Charlotte and return; tick ets on sale April 21, 22 and 23, final limit April 27th; continuous passage in each direction. This will afford a splendid opportunity to visit Charlotte. Full informa tion can be obtained by calling on any agent of the Southern Railway. Mr. W. McD. Burgin is plant ing out in front of hislotson main street, and on the street leading to the Methodist church, a number of aspen and maple saplings. This is wise, beautifying, and in a few years will give shade. If this was done along main street, and on the other streets where there are no trees, it would be a laudable thing. The traffic on main street for fifty years to come would not be inter fered with by even large trees, and would be a source of great com fort and beauty. In fact some of the very large cities have trees on the busy marts of trade. Most people are lovers of trees; they would be doublv appreciated on the streets. The local editor made a hasty trip to Asheville on Wednesday and back. Business there is put ting on its spring attire. We dropped into the Citizen office awhile. Editor Robertson kindly showed us down to see the work ing of the wonderful Mergenthaler type setting machine. Two had just been placed in the building. One was being put into opera tion by a skilled machinist. We were shown the first sentence it set, which was : "Thank God the thing works." It melts the type metal, molds the type, sets it in lines, distributes it, and has it ready for reading by lines at a time. To look at such a compli cated piece of machinery with the object of mastering its make up and operations would almost make one's hair turn grey. How the in ventor could originate such a ma chine is wonderful. The Citizen hopes to issue the paper from the machines within about two weeks. We are glad of our big neighbor's success. From Cripple Creek. After the big fire at Cripple Creek, I took a very severe cold and tried many remedies without help, the cold on', becoming more settled. After using three bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, both the cough and cold left me, and ia this high altitude it takes a meritorious cough remedy to do any good. G. R.

What Mlclit Have Been a Horrible Acci dent Narrowly Averted A Smoke Ho 11 e Jiroken Into and Four Hams Stolen Mr. Mooes I'arker Itarely Alive. Correspondence of The Messenger. Mr. Moses Parker, who was so badly hurt by the baseball player on Sunday, March 14th, is barely alive, with almost no hope for his recovery. The smoke house of Mrs. Julia Salsbury was broken into on Sat urday or Sunday night last, the thief securing four fine smoked hams. Officer Sandlin made dili gent search in a suspected locality but without success. There are entirely too many people prowling around in this locality who have "no visible means of support," and it is a matter of regret that the vagrant act has not more latitude. Mr. J. R. Crawford has about completed a very good bit of road work leading to the top of the ridge on which is situated Wild Cat mountain. This road is built by Mr. Crawford so as he may the more easily get to wooded land of his, but will be quite a convenience to any one going to Wild Cat, which is one of Old Fort's show points much frequented by sum mer visitors. During the late rainy spell what might have been a most hor rible occurrence was averted by the vigilant watchfulness of a Southern R'y employee. Horse Shoe Fill, half mile west of the famed and vexatious "Mud Cut," is one of the highest on the road, and one night of last week as Mr. J. Gilkey Curtis, a track walker, came to it in the midst of a drenching rain, he found that for the space of about ninety feet the earth had sunk four feet or so from the track. It was nearly time for the fast night train, west bound, but, hurrying back, he "flagged it" (with his lantern) and by'so doing prevented what might have been a horrible catastrophe. It is very true that Mr. Curtis did only his duty, but the passengers on that train are to be congratu lated that the Southern has in its employ men such as he. The use of coal tar on seed corn is not much practiced in this sec tion, and our farmers thereby stand greatly in their own light. In Eeastern North Carolina, on the great corn farms of Hyde county, a planter would as soon do without ploughing as to plant corn without tar. By its use the crow is not only deterred from his rav ages, but all animals like moles, ground mice and muskratsare un able to eat the seed; and as a remedy against cut-worms, beetles and such, it is perfect. The sea son being late this year, owing to much rain, it is very necessary that a stand be obtained as cer tainly and quickly as possible, and this may be done if our farmers will use tar. It can be almost guaranteed that 15 cents spent for tar, and it used as directed, will save at least two days of replant ing, besides the advantage gained of a good stand from the first planting. A good deal of excitement was created in our town on Monday afternoon. Constable George Sand lin, armed with a search warrant, intent upon finding Mrs. Salsbury's lost hams, decided to make an ex tensive search, omitting no build ing in town. On reaching the residence of one of our prominent citizens the right of search was questioned, and we learn ended there. There seems to be some difference of opinion as to the authority of the officer to make this search, but as the warrant was legally issued, and Mr. Sandlin has had much experience in this line, one would naturally suppose he knew his business. Sidney. Old Fort, N. C, March 23, 1897. Iieslon Institute. To the Churches of Green River As sociation : Dear Brethren: There will be a Mission Institute hehl with the Marion church, commencing on Friday before the third Sunday iu April (the lGth) and continue till Sunday. Each church in the association is earnestly requested to send not less than two delegates with their ordained and licensed ministers to represent them in said meeting. Biethren from other associations and churches are cordially invited to meet with us. I hope to secure the attendance of a number of biethren from sister associations. The following list of topics are suggested for discussion : 1st. The Bible aud Missions. 2nd. The Human Element in Missions. 3rd. The Use of Money in Mis sions. 1th. The Holy Ghost in Missions. 5th. The Possibilities of Mis sions. Gtii. The Call to a Forward Movemeut in Missions. Ample provisions will be made for the entertainmeut of all who come. It is expected that J. W. Bailey, editor of the Biblical liecorder, Revs. O. L. Stringtield, J. E. White, E. F. Tanm, of China, and 11. L. Patton, together with the ministers belonging to the Green River Association, will be in at tendance on the occasion. C. B. Justice, Ch. B. M. Rutherfordton, X. C, March 19, 1S07. Senator Sharpe, of Iredell, one of the recently-appointed directors of the State Hospital at Morgan ton, is said to be a candidate for the steward's place in that institu tion. Old People. Old people who require medicine to regulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electric bitters. This medicine does not stimulate aud contains no whiskey nor other intoxi cants, but acts as a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly on the stomach and bow els, adding strength and giving tone to the organs, thereby aiding nature in the performance of the functions. Electric Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids digestion. Old people rind it just exactly what thev need. Price tifty cents and per bottle at Morphew x White's Drug Store.

It was a most humane, just and timely recommendation that the grand jury made in its last report that the county buy a better and more conveniently Seated farm for the inmates of the, -j, house. Nothing need be said, as ta.taheun wisdom of having "boOg.bt such a poor, undesirable place. We are to deal with the present. This recommendation it would be well to heed as early as practicable with our ability. The law does not require the keeping of the in mates of the poor house to be let to the lowest bidder. How would you like for the amount and qual ity of your dinner to be pressed down to the lowest notch of cost to live? The keeper of the poor house doubtless furnishes all he can for 2.75 a month, what he is allowed for each inmate for which he furnishes food, bedding, fuel and ciothing. This amount is simply ridiculously insufficient. He ought to have at least twice this much per month for every in mate, which would then be a less amount than is spent on each prisoner in our jail a month. This pinching of the poor is not much short, if any, ot a shame. It is un christian. This has grown out of the custom of letting out the main taining of the paupers to the low est bidder, which practice can but result in the present scanty, insuffi cient living of the unfornate, worthy poor. Though poor, they should be as well fed, at least, as the criminal who is placed in jail. Let the unfortunate, worthy poor have more to eat and wear and a better farm, and one more con- A Child Irowned. News has been received of a dis tressing occurrence at the home of John F. Siamey, near Pearson postoffioe, Burke county, last Fri day. Mr. Stamy's iittle three-year old boy wandered to the spring and was there playing alone. The mother was about fifty yards away, When she went to search for her child he was found in the spring drowned. The little fellow had gone too near the spring and had fallen in and there was no one there to rescue him. The AVeather.

The greatest danger from La Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which 6hows conclu sively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dreaded disease. It will effect a permanent cure in less time than any other treatment. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for 6ale by Morphew & White.

One of the St. Nazairre's Boats Floating' About "With Six Dead People Found By a Cromwell Line Steamer. 'ew York, March 22. The Cromwell Liue steamer Creole, Captain Gager, from 2sew Orleans, arrived at her dock about 11 o'clock this morning, bringing additional news from the ill fated steamer St. Nazairre. Captain Gager reports that on March 21st, iu latitude 20 17 longitude 14 30', he passed a boat full ot water. Shortly after ward he determined to ascertain, if possible, what it was, and turned about for an investigation. On reaching the boat he fouud that it contained six dead bodies, one of them supposed to be that of a woman. A hook was made fast to the boat's bow, and when she was pulled up the bodies washed into the sea. They had apparently been held fast by the seats of the boat, as they were crowded under them. It was noted by the Creole's mate that two of the small boat's passengers were colored. In the boat was fouud a woman's slipper and a child's sock, some clothing, a nursing bottle and several bottles of fresh water, which was found to be iu good condition. There was also found a small quantity of bread. The boat was an old wooden one and bore the mouograni of the Campagnie Generate Trans-Atlan-tique, No. 3. It was 40 feet in length and could carry about 40 passengers. ROYAL HUNT TOMFOOLERY. What It Costs to Maintain the Famoug Sport. A year or two ago, says the editor of London Truth, I took up the matter of the royal bnckhotmds, for I have always thought that anything with less of the redeeming feature of pport than to cart a tame deer to some spot, turn it out, hunt it with dogs, aud, having hunted it down, put it Lack iu its c:irt for an other day's "fiport" cannot well bo con ceived. When I was engaged in this crusade, I received many letters assur ing me that the deer like being pursued by dogs, although how the anim.Us con veyed their singular idea of pleasure to the writers of tho letters was not ex plained to ma Now that the bishops have joined the crusade, we may hope that the cruel tomfoolery of this royal hunt will soon cease. The country pays the costs. Tho sal ary of the master of the Luckhounds (1,200 per annum) is always enjoyed by a nobleman, tho occupant of the post changing with a change of ministers. Besides this there are salaries to hunts men, whips aud others, the purchase and keep of horses and hounds, et. I should suppose that the total outlay must be about 3,000 per annum. This is defrayed, it is true, from the civil list. But when the amount needed to maintain the sovereign was investigated in order to arrive at tho total necessary, this expenditure was included in the estimate. It is suggested by tho bishops that tho quarry should cease to bo deer and should henceforward be a red herring. But the idea, as an attribute of majesty, of the sovereign keeping a lot of dogs to run after a red herring is childish. Grant Drilling the Home Militia, Grant left West Point in midsummer and spent his furlough in Bethel and Georgetown. He was invited by the offi cers of the militia to drill the troops at "general muster," which took place at Rnsselsville during August of 1844. William Wilson and Peter Wamax are two of tho few witnesses living who re member the splendid occasion. It impressed itself iueffaceably on young Wilson's mind because it seemed wonderful, even revolutionary, to see a young lad such as Cadet Grant lixiked, ordering tho pompous old officers about. "He looked very young, very slender and very pale. "He was dressed in a long blue coat, with big epaulets and big brass buttons, and his trousers seemed to be white, though they may have been a light gray. He wore a cap and a red sash around his waist, and he rode his horse in fine style. "I was particularly struck with his voice that is, his way of using it. The old men barked out their commands. You couldn't tell what they said. Noise seemed to be their idea of command, but Grant's voice was clear and calm and cut across the parade ground with great precision. It was rather high in pitch, but it was trained. I could tell that, though I was only a boy." Ham lin Garland in McClure's Magazine. The Circle County. The oddest shaped county among tho 8,000 which go to make up the separate divisions of the various states is Warren county, Tenn. It lies almost exactly in the geographical center of the state men tioned and is alxmt as near a perfect cir cle as any division of land could possi bly be. The circle would be perf ect but for tho fact that there is a short stretch of the northern bouudary line which fol lows a small stream for a short distance. It is tiounded by Cannon, DeKalb, Cof fee, Gruudy, Van Buren and White counties and is in no way remarkable ex cept in shape. St. Louis Republic. tLewis Walker will mend your shoes well and cheap.
