One of the larges, if not the lar

North Carolina, is that now bung

This mammoth order was given
by a wholesale furniture company
in New York city, aud the goods
ordered consist of bed room and
other suits, bureaus and wardrobes.
The contract calls for the entire till

from its date, aud the Furniture

Mh. I EDITOR: —The removal of the
court house from Dallas to Gastonia
is th** 'ivum i -sue now. A meetin rr
c o
called by Gastonias citizens not
long t-ince has placed the matter in
definite shape before the people.
Petitions in favor of making Gas
tonia the counlv seat of Gaston has
beeif in for some time.
Last week a meeting was called for
Friday night by the citizens of Dal
las in which the matter was dis
cussed and an e\ecuiive committee
Aas appointed to circulate county
petition* and to canvass the county
thoroughly, so as to meet the action
of Gastonia as it comes before the
present legislature. There is no
question in the minds of those best
situated to knov *he feeling of the
people in regard to change of the
county seat. The decision at the
polls, if it ever comes to that, will be
overwhelmingly against any change
of court-house and jail.
Confessedlv a new iail is needed.
The present jail is rather a "temple
of liberty" than a prison. A half
dozen prisoners having broken jail
within the last few weeks, five o'
which are still &t large. The joint
board will have this matter in hand
at an early day and the contract will
doubtless be awarded. That will
settle for a while at least the court
house question.
Dallas is to have a cotton mill to be
located on square by the depot.
Already twenty four thousand dol
lars have been secured, and the or
! ganization of a joint stock company
will soon take place. This enter
j prise will make Dallas a cotton mar
ket and give employment to some of
' her idle citizens. The cotton mill
boom has done mjch in the past
year for the Old North State. May
we r.ot hope that the present year
will witness still greater develop
ment of our material resources *
When we shall make at home what
we need at home, instead of sending
abroad for our necessities, then we
: may hope to be a prosperous and
I happy people,
i Gaston college is well attended.
