One day last week at Greensboro a young fellow named Parker married a girl swearing she was 18 years old to procure the license. Her parents took her away from Mm before they had been married two hours. Parker again secured possession of his wife but her lather took her again and indicted Parker for perjury. Parker then sued out a writ of habeas vorjju.t for the possession of his wife. He had not got her at last accounts but hopes to. And all of it goes to show that the course of true love never did run smooth—even after marriage. New Names for Old Things. "NMater Hendrix closed out his school at the Bagly school house lug bee.

B. Rusk, Jan. 21, ’98. Our Roll of Honor. As the years roll by and we are nearing the end of the nineteenth century we look around us and observe that things are not as they used to be. Xew names for old things is the go. In olden times a man swapped horses or the good ■“lIMMwiTBs''5^Tirpped"Tm1terns“"ivo'5r it is exchanged. ■\^'hen a heavy rainfall pervaded the country it was characterized as a downpour, a shower or a freshet, now we hear of nothing but cloudbursts, atul when a mill race bursts, or the bottom land overtlows, there has certainly beena* ‘cloud bursf’in that immediate section. Some years back if a town did not have as much as .5000 population it was tailed a ville, community, neigh borhood, town, A'illage or burg. Kow e.ery tittle one-horse place that sports a water tank is called a “ city ” while big places like I^ew York or Chicago are country setle- ments, When a fellow was “ fired ” or discharged he quit work, now it is “resigned his positi<m ”. People have been dying because their heart st >pped beating ever .since the world begiin, but it is not until recently that we hear of “ heart failure”, A heated term is now brought on by “a hot wave”, a blizzard “ by a fall in the mercury” and living cheaply in summer is called ‘‘going to the country”, When one lady visits another she is received and iiiste-ad of going out w'alking yoit are “exercising or taking a constitutional”. The nomenclature i^ different but the old things are the same. A Salesman’s Experiences. Ed. Hunt a colored man has ■ been working on the railroad here for some six months. He has been trading on time here with several merchants. About two weeks ago he was discharged on general principles and went to his home in Mocksville. Pay day was the 20th and he made one merchant here a i no matter how well prepared or power of attorney and gave him an : attractive they may be. lOvery order for the check. As soon as ! thousand circulars mailed with a he got home he wrote Mr. Paul an I one cent stamp costs *10.00 besides In the the envelopes and paying for print- r\uv Since our last issue the following names have been entered on our subscription list; B. B. Michael, F. ("astevens, T. J. Lillard, K, F. Jloney, Miss Vallie Sparks.W. A.Byerlv, James Cockerham, Eev. . F. Melton. Total 8. Everybody reads newspapers; everybody does not read cirenlai-s, order revoking the^leck^ meantime anothej lirm here sued out a warrant of attachment return- ble before Walsh and re<‘(iiv- ed judgment against Hunt but did not get the check. Mr, Paul in the meantime has returned the check with all the papers in the; it and see, case to the head offices of the com- j pauy at Washington. What the outcome will be remains to be seen. Hunt is a trilling low down scamp and should he ever return to Elkin it is safe to say that the last state of him will be worse than the first. ing circulars, addressing etc.. advertiser wanting 100, 500 or 1000 wopies of the Journai, can get them much cheaper and the.y will give a great deal more satisfaction than b\' the circular route. Trv Amusing things often happen in i the stores of Elkin. An old lady' rushed in a few' days ago and told I the clerk she was making a pot of i soap and wanted some distracted I lye. Another wanted some conse-1 erated ball potash ; concentrated i potash was what she was driving at. A young “ know-it-all ” from across the ridge at another store wanted some graduated sugar ; ^ meaning 0(f course granulated. A man wanted a ptdr of good boys i suspenders. We ,siippose he lets the bad boys go suspendersless. A colored lady wanted a pair of i black ladies gloves but the clerk sold her a pair of brown ones. A; rural school-boy w'anted a second class arithmetic; meaning of course a second-hand book. These are a few of the many blunders made by : people in calling for goods. Of- course the salesman never smiles but good uaturedly trys to lill the bilL Pastor Called. At a meeting of the members of Pleasant Hill Baptist church (near the shoe factory) Eev. W. F, Melton was unanimously elected pastor for the ensuing year to suc ceed Eev. tr. M. Burcham. Mr. Melton will commence a series of meetings there next Sunday and will continue se\'eral days. We are recpiested to say to the people that they are cordially invited to attend these meetings and assist in the .same. Spelling Bee. Tomorrow, Friday, night Jan’y 28, there will be held at the Elkin ■Acatlemy -f»^^ok^ fash io ueU spelli ug bee. Everybody is invited to be present and take a part. The exercises w ill begin promptly at 7:80 o’clock and the words will be given out of Webster’s Old Blue Back. If you can’t spell come anyway. iS'o admission fee will be charged. A handsome prize will be gi-\'en to the best .speller. These “ bees” were held at Elkin several years ago and atforded a lot of amiismeiit as well as recreation to the young people and a number of older heads. So come one and all to the spelling bee. A Big Contract. Hugh (t. Chatham of the Chat ham M’f’g Co. of this place went to Ealeigh last week and closed a con- trac-t with the Board of Directors of the State Penitentiary for $5,000 worth of_blankets for the cionvicts. This is a big order and we congrat- xdate our Woolen ^Mills on securing it. The Elkin Woolen Mills are known all over the TTnited States and are supjilyiug blankets and other goods to other, state institu tions besides Xortli Carolina.
