Again we have the pleasure of calling the attention of our read ers to the advertisement of H. Redwood & Co., Asheville, N. C. This house is thoroughly reliable, having an immense stock ot goods, 'with a great variety of different kinds in the dry goods, fancy goods, millinery goods, dress goods line, shoes, etc. The house is run on the straight forward one price system to all. Mail orders are promptly attended to. When in the city call at II. Redwood & Co.'s Like wise business men, the officers of the furniture factory closed for awhile for the purpose of taking stock to ascertain the amount that has been made, etc. After stock-taking it was found that expenses have been met, and that a good reasonable profit has been made. They will open up at once on full time with the usual force in charge. We congratulate the management on this most ex cellent showing, presaging a greater success in the future. This still further feathers Manager Raper's cap. This and last week we in creased our circulation by about fifty copies, sending out now be tween five and six hundred copies each week. Within the next month we want to send out a hun dred more, regularly, besides two thousand of the week of our anni versary issue. If a sample copy goes to you it is an invitation to examine and subscribe and pay when you see us, or when conven ierit to come to town. One year, one dollar; six months, fifty cents; three months, twenty five cents. Our subscription books are open to our subscribers and advertisers. In "our fatherless ones" of March we note a suggestion, and a good one, that "the orphan's acre" be set apart and cultivated for the support fund of the Barium Springs Orphanage. If not an acte, then a part of an acre, and let, at least, the net proceeds be sent to the orphans. This is a good suggestion by which to help any orphanage. If arrangements are made before the produce is brought to the depot for shipment, and it is distinctly stated that it is a gift to an orphanage, and not a purchase, the railroads will gener ally ship the goods free of freight charges. Remember the orphans when you plant and when you gather. Dr. King and Miss Kate Hemphill, of Uridgewater, were married week before last in Bun combe county. They came to Bridgewater on the evening of their marriage and we learn were treated to an old fashioned sere nade that night.

His bride has been deputy postmistress at Bridge water for quite a while and is a young lady of many charms and rare accomplishments. The bride and groom have we learn gone to housekeeping at Bridgewater. Thk Messkncf.k extends congratu lations and best wishes.

Card from Men-.ru. Crauford and I'ool. 'To the Editor of The Mcxsavjcr: I'lease allow us space in your paper to notice some of the Kontl attacks of Mr. H ives, editor of the Jhmo$rut, in his paper of the 11th and L'tith of March and on the 2nd instant, and submit a few walnuts for him to crack, as he is usually fond of them. In hi.s arti cle of March 11th he makes some very broad insinuations, and asks if we are moved by "pure, unadul terated atriotinm" and if so (in substance), that he would like to cross examine us and the other three affiants, who made the alii davit under the laws of 180." togwt two additional commissioners ap pointed, as to the "icltys and irlu re forcx." So we tried to yratlfy Itis curiosity by giving I. im a "lew of the '-why s and wherefores" 111 the Raleigh Tribune of March l;th, and asked him to explain them. But in his issue of March rJGth he completely dodged the question, and appropriates nearly three coi unius of his paper, mostly abusing the undersigned, ami marked his story 4,to be continued." Well, we waited for his issue of the L'nd instant, expecting an an swer to the questions we asked him on March 10th, but much to our surprise, like his article of March L'Uth, it had about one and a half columns filled, mostly, with personal abuse of us. It seemed that he had concluded that Mr. Pool had decided to "wear his muzzle," and that he would con tinue to hound after ('rawloid, and made comparatively no allusion to the questions we had asked him, but proceeded to publish a recent act of the Legislature, which was passed after petitions signed by L'Cl voters had been circulated asking the appointment of two new I'uin inissioneis. Why did he do t his .' Simply, as we take it, to mislead the people, and make a:; itmies- sion that we were moving und r the provisions of the new law, when no one knew better than he that such was not the case, but that we began and did all tint lias been done under the law of IS:-." be lore the new bill was parsed, or before any one here knew 01 its provisions. (And we take it that the getting up of this petition w as 1 he cause of the reduction of the cost, of board of the piisoners fiotn 1 (.."!) to 7. 50 per month, which was done the lirst Monday in March). Then in each issue of his pa pet he takes special pains to try to make the public impression that we think all the commissioners for the last six years were rascals, when we have never intimated but what they are good, honest men, and said so in our articleof March l!th; but we claimed that their official acts were subject to criti cism, and we insisted that the law had not, in some respects, been complied with, and that mistakes had been made that should be cor rected. We never intended nor intimated that any of them were not honest, but thought Mr. Eaves and the public would understand that we thought they had been wrongly advised, and, acting under such advice, had made uninten tional mistakes. We think Mr. Haves is doing the commissioners an injustice by Ins persistency in trying to make the puMie believe that they are not honest men. We presume Mr. Haves will stick to his natural role, that of a vindictive writer, who thinks everybody is dishonest but himself a partisan' blinded to all sense and reason ; a writer, per haps, w ho attracts some attention with a certain class of partisans. If he had a less suspicious imagi nation and more of the milk of human kindness, he might make a better editor; but editing a news paper don't seem to be his forte. As for ourselves, hi.s personal abuse has 110 tekkoks fou us. It differs but little how much per sonal abuse he heaps upon us. We take it that what he might say against us would not add to or take from the opinions of the peo ple of McDowell county, as they know us almost as wdl as they do Mr. George Guilford Haves, editor of the t ntocrat. Recent investigations of a part of the county recoids show that in the li nance sett lenient of Febuiai y l,s;n, in addition to the L'l'o polls exempted, amounting to about .5 1(, there were r'J.Gt.d.i: I property exemptions, and one-half of this (T'Lo.'io.l-) was taken oil' of the stdiool and the other half was taken oil" what they c ill the -bridge and jail fund," while the general fund and the railroad fund, amount ing to more than s's.imio. was not touched by this leduction. Now if it was right to allow this reduc tion, which we insist (most of it) was not, was it right, ok lawitl. to take one half oil of the little children's school money of the county ! Would it not have been moie proper to hive taken ltotl'of each of the lour lands pro rata The present commissioners admit that neither this nor the poll tax was disposed ot accotding to la w, but insist that it was in keeping with the xpirit of the law Then what do we need laws for, if our officials are to work by the spirit ami not the law! One of them contends that ichile it is not la icf til, the spirit of the law says the new county treasurer shall continue, as heretofore, to pay school claims for 1805 out of the school fund of lSOtV Another one said he did not believe the sheriff could collect more than two out of three of tho poll tax iu the county. So, tax payer, you see how it goes. in the Gnauce settlement of Feb ruarv K, ISO 7, the school fund suffered another heavy 'diff" of ?!0S.7, without any explanation as to what it was for; ami collec tions of wholesale and retail liquor dealers' license and fines, amount ing to 701, that belong (as we take it) to the school fund of 1S0, was applied on the school claims of 1S05; and -1,07S 00 collected of the school land of 1S0 by R. L Nichols was applied on the school fund of 1S05, and then left a defi ciency ol about 1,500 and no money to pay it. l'.u; the commis sioners say take the balance le!t of the 1S0G money and pay the 105 balance, though there be no law authorizing it, the spirit is all right. . In th settlement of February lo, IS:7, Mr. Nichols was allowed co n inis!ons as lollows: On whole as ses-ed tax of the county, ?N5,rofJ.;)0, at o per cent., S.'50.;il; on bMfi- 1 1, at .' per cent., ?I0." 87; on 1,078.00, at I'i per cent., -0 i7; and on al lowances, jess sheriffs commis sions, -;0 5S; making a total of 1.1 11.7-5. This seems to be a good showing for a sheriff who has only been in the harness two and a half months. S, if he can make 1,111.7.5 in two and a half months, how much can he make iu twenty four months ? We learn that the commissioners paid 7 for his blank tax teceipts. but that Logan did not insist, very strongly, on them paying for his private paper and envelopes, but asked them to do it. It seems that our article in the Tribune of March 1 Oth stimulated Logan a little, for in his official notice to the tax payers of Old Fort he seems to complain that we are spurring him up to collect the tax. So it appears that his official obligations don't cut much figure in the matter. One would conclude alter looking over hi.s role of com missions, which shows that he has been allowed 5 per cent, commis sions on the entire taxes of the county, that there were no taxes at the time of his notice in the county to collect, all having been collected and his commissions paid. But we don't say theie is anything wrong about this, especially on Logan's pait; but don't you think, tax payer, it would be best to wait until he collects the other 7,8.05 yet due before you pay hi 111 for it all ? Where is the farmer who would expect a man to pay him on the l.'Jih of last Febmary for all tlie corn he e.rpicfs to make this , e n ? We hae asked the coniinission eis to icopen the settleinentsniade in 1S!" and 1S'J7, but they have leftised to do so. II we could have those settlements made over, and in the pioper way, we believe the county would save more than ?';:,!'(, yi-t our commissioners re fuse u an opportunity. Theieaie tit !..-r ii regularities w hich we may c;:!i the tax layers' a'teutioii to soon. So now, Mr. H ives,either "show up or shut up." G. W. CllAWFOKD, J. C. Pool. Marion, N. C, April , 1807. To the Editor of The Messenger : As to my wearing "Crawford's muzzle," he has never had influ ence enough over me to make me change my politics. Can Mr. Eaves say as much .'

He was brevet ted second lieutenant of the Fourth infantry and ordered to re port to his command at Jefferson bar racks, St. Loui-i, after a short vacation.

In his third year he rose in his drawing to 111, and was twenty-second in chem istry and tiftf-i-nfh in philosophy, which was a very good standing indeed. He rose to '0 in general merit, Iti in en gineering, IT in mineralogy and geology, but was a little lelow the average in ethics, artillery and infantry practice.

Correspondence of The Messenger. The "Ueon Piatt" panorama of interesting scenes of various kinds exhibited here on Saturday night to a very meagre house. It is said to be of rather more merit than the usual run of such shows and the manager appeared to be quite a worthy person. Owing to the rain which fell al most incessantly Sinday after noon there was no services at any f the churches on Sunday night last. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Dula was interred on Thurs day morning last. Many friends were present, though owing to the fact that some of thechi dren have whooping cough, and the the raw ness of the weather, many more were prevented from paying their tribute of sympathy. Mr. OAens, the engineer of the pumping house at the Southern Railway station, shows his good taste and love of the beautiful in the pretty little grass plot with fountain in the centre at the door of his engine room. A most delightful young folks' social at the Kelly Hotel last even ing was graced by the presence of many lovely young ladies and gallant gentlemen of our town. For beauty, wit and attractiveness Old Fort's girls are the peers of any. For some weeks past our town has suffered the presence of a negro fortune teller and conjure doctor. Nothing would have been said concerning him, but I learn that he is playing on the credulity of ignorant negroes and fleecing them right and left. One negro man of whom better things were expected is said to have paid him as much as $25 at one time, the conjurer undertaking for this sum down, and as much more when the c ire is effected, to entirely cure the man s wile of rheumatism; and it is all to be done by his magic art? In another case for the princely sum of So cents he proposes to secure for one of his dupes the love of another negroe's wife ! This wonderful doctor has also lower charges, but the smaller the payment the worse the fortune, as in an instance where the peerer into the future had only 15 cents, it was predicted that the poor fel low would die on Monday last ! In this case the "trick" did not work as the man is alive to-day. It would seem that there should be some way in w hich our community could be rid of such scamps, but our worthy J. P.'s say that there is nothing to be done except on com plaint of a victim. Some cpuiet talk is heard of White Caps, so maybe in my next I may have something of interest to write. Sidney.

Henry lake is a beautiful lody of wa ter with an area of about 41 win are miles anil is situated on the dome of tha continent in a depression in the Rocky mountains near Targets pas.-:, Idaho. Henry lake is of no co "ipi. iice itself, but it is the "home" of a most wonderful floating island, which is si 1 11 first on one side of the lake and then on the other. The island is about Hon feet in diameter and has for its basis a mat of roots and decayed vegetation suffi cient to supiiort large trees and a dense growth of underbrunh. The edges of this floating island are thin, of course, but near the center it is several feet thick and of sufficient strength to sup port a good sized summer hotel, if some one could be found that would care to make such a venture. There is a good sized willow thicket near the center of the island, and scattered around among them are several dwarf pines and asp en These trees catch tho breeze which is continually blowing over this highly situated lake, and, acting as sails on a boat, move the 300 foot island hither and thither over the 40 square miles of water at their will. Old mountaineers who are well used to all kinds of queer tilings declare that the floating island of Henry lake is the most wonderful thing to lie si en in the mountain regions of the United States.
