With a view to attracting the at tention of financial interests to the growth of the South, to the advan tages of this section and to the op portunities for profitable invest i ments of all kinds that are to be ! found in this State, the PRESS AND CAROLINIAN will shortly publish a "special edition,"' which will be dis tributed promiscuously throughout the country. Nothing of this character has ever before been undertaken in this coun try, and never before has such an opportunity been afforded to reach every financial institution in lie Union. The value of this to the South cannot be overestimated. It will draw the attention of the entire interests of the whole country to the marvelous advancement and possi ( bilities of the Sonth. For South ern owners of mineral and timber properties that are for sale, real es tate agents, transforation lines, and all others who wish to reach the moneyed men of the whole country, this "special edition" is the best advertising medium ever offered. It will result in attracting many millions of dollars to the South for investment, and in inducing many thousands of people to make a per j sonal investigation of the advantages and the resources of tins section. i All Quiet an Ilra/il.

And Tlie> Were .Married. \gain the symphony of the mellow wedding bells Lias been heard in the land, and two links in the "chain of merchants brave" have fallen victim to Cupid's showering darts. On Tuesday, at 4:30 p. in., a vast concourse of friends and relatives as sembled at the Methodist Chinch to 1 witness the marriage of Mr. L. H. Phillips and Miss Mattie Abernethy —both of this city. At the hour named Messrs. Henry Davis and Jones Shuford urshered the contracting parties to the H\- menial altar, where the Rev. Mr. , Bonner, in a very impressive cere ' monv, pronounced them "man and wife.*' The churen decorations evinced the touch of an artist, indeed. The ) interior was spanned by a shaft of interwoven evergreens, forming a double-arch from the centre, from which hung the talismanic horse-shoe —entwined with garlands* of ama ranthine grandeur, and encrusted j here and there with cruts of pris- ; mic beauty. To a point beneath this arch the bridal pair advanced as the organ lilted forth the wedding march as if ° by the touch of a nymph. Its ren i dition was most perfect and pleas ing, and reflected great credit on the accomplished manipulator of the ; ivory keys—Miss Carrie Link. Immediately after the ceremony i the nuptial retinue of relatives es corted the happy twain —now made one—to the depot, where they ' boarded the east-bound train for ' Greensboro. After a sojourn of a week in that city with fi lends, they ! will return to this citv—their home. I And another of our clever mer- I chants, Mr. J. B. Beard, has also j contracted entangling alliances with one of Carolina's fair damsels, and at high noon to-day, at Mills River, he and Miss Lucy J. Morgan will b?* started upon life as one. Rev. J. A. Weston will officiate. The bride and groom will cele brate the event by taking a few days' trip to various points of inter est. Mav the genial ravs that emanate from the sun of Jove, peace and . 1 prosperity ever reveal in their live s pathway the glittering pearls of true happiness. ■ It is rumored that Judge Gilmer will resign the Ist of January. He 1 has covered the State twice under the rotation system and has doubt less extracted all the sweets out of the position ami desires to return to the hustings. The people of the : State will regret his retirement from the bench, but will be satisfied with a successor that comes up to his standard. If" Judge Gilmer desires further public honors he must not be bashful in saying so. He knows the make-up of North Carolinians. — Web-ters Weekly. Scribners Magazin for December is a holi lay number of stiiking beauty and at'mctiveness in it illustration-, and the text of the articles will appeal to the fancy and svmpath\ c»f readers, rather than t«> their desire f r instruction in } radi cal affairs. With the exception of • the fourth instalment of Harold Fredericks st-rial. each article is complete in this issue. %. c. J. 1 attle c iul>. The N C.J. Cattle Club will meet in Hick ny i. November 29th at 10 o'clock a. i.. Every "mender, and all interested in pure Jer»e}s. are re quested to be prestent. S. E KILLIAN. Sec. Our Nt >\ Depot. What is the object in moving it' It is in a good location and if left where it is will not obstruct the view across the public square. We un derstand Mr. Me Bee is going to P P5 move it farther up into the square and we just want to remind the pt o pie and our Board of Aldermen and Mayor that they ought to raise a general "nick if anv such move is , * really to be made. The happiness of our future existence depends 1 upon the getting of the freight de>- oot in the suburbs of the city and having the "square" clear. If the passenger depot is moved just op posite the old freight rat house, . you can make up your mind to it, that there both of them will remain. The city should in some way get possession of the "square" and con trol it. I>ry Ivi!n Itnrne d. Last Saturday afternoon the l shriek of the fire whistle at the : Hickory Manufacturing Co's shops i brought out many of our citizens to i witness the destruction of a dry kiln ! of lumber valued at Sl-". So much for our efficient tire extinguishing O O department. This was a small fire; : I how do YOU know but what the next lire that occurs may be your home or your business house. If there i-i no other way of getting water works , every man that owns valuable prop erty in the city could afford to con tribute largely to such a fund. To I the board of Aldermen we say give the people a chance to vote on a bondeel tax for water workc. I I ~ I lleatb ol lion. \V. 1. Dortcli. The death of Hon. Win. T. Dortch. after a long and lingering illness j , from heart trouble, and consequent complication, occurred at his resi dence in Goldsboro on the 22nd ( inst. shortly after 1) o'clock. The sad intelligence will not be a sur- 1 prise to our citizens, whose daily ! concern and anxious solicitude for weeks has been his surely approach ing dissolution; but their sorrows ° v\ ill be none the less keen now that at length the inevitable has fallen and they realize that he is indeed no more. !

Every day brings to light some valuable natural resource in North Carolina This week's Wilkesboro Chronicle sa\s that in the vicinity of Tiap Hill tlu re has been discovered a deposit of stone which is believed to be nothing less than veritalie stone coal. It was found by the blowing up of a tree *which pulled up a quantity m its roots. R. J. r»angu- tried the stone, and it burned excellently. He thinks there is no doubt that it is stone coal and that the q iHiititv is inexhaustible.

An Appeal. Blowing Rock is situated in Wa tauga count}', on the t•» j> »f the Blue Ridge, eight miles ft om Foone. and twenty miles from Lenoir, the terminus of the Chester and Lenoir railroad.

There is telegraphic communication with Lenoir, and a delightful drive of four or five Louis will bring the traveler to Blowing Rock.
