Urey (foods Liked.
The Lorsy sheetings have
^hlsljr captured the fancy of
the Chinese trade. About six
months ago we had the pleasure
of mentioning this mill's first
order of $100,000 worth for that
market. Since that time the
Lorav has shipped $250,000
worth of goods, and has taken
orders enough, betides, for the
Chinese trade to keep the mill
busy until the first of January.
Their commission men find the
Lorsy products so popular for
export that they are offering
the mill still further orders for
the same class of goods.

la III Seal Basinets.
Messrs. Frank McArver, and
Niell Davis returned from Sbel
by Saturday afternoon with a
drove of 28 fine beef cattle. Mr.
Davis’ share of 13 were some
select cattle he bad bought for
his market. The remaining 15
were bought by Mr. McArver for
Craig & Wilson’s farm and con
sisted entirely of young steers
that would net about 20o pounds
each. They were taken out to
the term where they will be fat
tened for market on the great
abundance of shredded corn and
other feedstnfis raised there.
This firm has recently completed
a big model barn and both in
feed and stall room are admi
rably equipped for raising beef
cattle. The amount of farm
compost to be gained in this en
terprise is also an incidental ad
vantage of no small value. On
tbc Craig and Wilson farm there i
are uow about 40 head of cattle |
and on the Oneida farm about
the same number.
Candidates m Thslr iMOdi
It was the writer's pleasare to
be with the candidates at Lowell
last Friday night. A very at
tentive and appreciative audi
ence oi the best citizens was
present in the Academy building.
Mr. R. R. Ray was requested to
introduce the speakers—a duty
which he performed in the
happiest manner. Messrs. J.
R. Lewis, M. A. Carpenter, and
C. C. Cornwell, made their an
nouncements in becoming style,
and were accorded applause
with hearty exclamations of
"You'll be elected!” Messrs.
Armstrong, Love, and Leeper
were unavoidably kept from tnis
appointment. Mr, S. J. Durham,
candidate for the State Senate,
gave an elaborate discussion of
State finances and forcefully
answered Republican criticisms
thereof. Mr. John H. Gaston
and others were called for and
made brief responses, after which
the meeting closed with every
body in a good humor.
Mr. Tnyli’i Lecturas.
Marked interest i s mani
fested in the temperance lectures
being delivered here by Mr. T.
H. B. Teeple, of Clarksburg,
W. Va. Two large audiences,
at 3 p. m. in the Y. M. C. A.
hall and at 7:90 p. m. in West
Bnd Methodist church, heard
Mr. Teeple Sunday and another
good audience was present at
last night’s meeting in the Y.
M. C. A. hall. A strong and
forceful speaker, Mr. Teeple pre
sents his subject in a masterly
manner, and holds the interest
of his hearers from first to last.
The subject last night was "He
roes and Heroism, or the Rag
ged Road to Success.” To-night
at 7:30 o’clock he speaks on
"Sowing and Reaping” and at
the tame hour to-morrow night
on "History Traced in Tears and
Written in Blood.” Mr. Teeple
is earnestly engaged in fighting
the legalized liquor traffic and is
meeting with encouragement in
his work.
Boston Maal Opan Ca.
The Greenville (S. C.) Daily
New* of the 7th Inst, haa the
following to tay of "Said Pasha”
aa presented there by the Boston
Ideal Opera Co: Great, magni
ficent, splendid, frere the
remarks heard on all sides as
the large audience emerged from
the Grand laaf night after hav
ing witnessed the opera of
"Said Pasha” by the Boston
Ideal Opera company. That
every word of this was true caa
be vouched for by the writer,
and never in the history of the
Grand has any organisation so
completely captured the audi
ence aa did the Ideals last
night. Mias Nellie Andrews, aa
"Serena,” won her wsy into the
hearts of the audience from the
moment she made her first
entrance. She possesses by far
one of the sweetest soprano
voices that has ever been heard
in this city. Among the mala
singers Jss. E. Stevens, as the
"Pasha,” besides being the
possessor of a rich baritone voice,
proved himself an actor of great
ability. To say that the patrons
of the theatre last night were
completely captured would not
half express it. The perform
ance, as a whole, was magni
ficent and proves that this orga
nisation has more than earned
all the praise they have been
receiving from the press of the
large does.
MB. J. E. MelMIf DEAD.

SUll Searing.
The price of coal is still soar*
ing skyward. On the local mar
ket the best lump ia now retail
ing at $5.75, an advance of 50
cents per ton having been made
within the past few days. This
same cosl, so the local dealers
inform us, is retailing at $6.50
in Charlotte and some of the
other neighboring cities. A
press dispatch of a few days ago
contained the information that
Chicago coal dealers were Offer
ing some of the Southern mines
$6 per ton for the best lump at
the mines—and the end is not
yet. _
Leal Bara and Contests.
Mr. John D. Hall, who lives
in the Point four miles below
Belmont, had the misfortune
Friday night to lose his bara
and all its contents, including
three horses, wagons, buggy
and farm implements by fire.
The fire was first discovered
about midnight by some of Mr.
Hall’s neighbors who hastened
to wake him. On arriving they
found his residence also training
but this was soon extinguished
with out much damage to the
honse. The fire was evidently
the work of incendiaries but
there is no clue as yet, to the
guilty parties. The amount of
insurance carried on the bam
was $500.
