To the Democrat : I v ry thin if is moving on nicely in our lit th but busy town. Our election passed off quietly, and "'Commodore Clark heads the list of town oilii-ials. Like the American Eagle, he stands at thft head of law and unites every man to give him a look. Improve mcnts arespringingup daily. The Green Hill Improvement Company has just completed a nice line f fence along the Turn Pike road; beginning at the top of the mountain, and extending nearly to Mr. Ingles; takes in both the Yadkin and New River springs. Mr. Finley Harper, of Pat terson, is hiving a nice cot tage put up, when completed it will stand ahead of any cottage built prior' to this time King & Gray will add some small improvements to their hotel this spring. W. D. Clarke, ' the man on wheels," has had a fence put around his lot below Hinkle and Craig's stables. Capt. John Walker's eottagewhich has be n lately built on Win dy Hill by Mr. Norris is com pleted and ready for the ocu pants.

Corpening, has been confined to his room for three weeks with a rising on his hand, but is improving slowly. The newly married couples seem to be enjoying them selves with married life so far. -Mr. Fin'ey Coffey made his appearance in town Sunday evening, and as usual, he put up at the "Morris House." Mr. Hugh Guy nn, of Pat- tersn, was up lat we-k lkinr nfu-r tin Tinn Pikej road, of which he is presi- lent. He ordered overs -cr Morris to widen the road from lu-re to the Rock on top of the mountain 20 fet, this will be a great improve-' nient on the road. We don't hear much snidj about the Farmers' All:nnce here of late days, only they' have become ashamed of thej society and have moved i their meeting place out-side-of the town limits. The AI- hance may be a good thing in its place, but its place is somew here else, not in Wa tauga, ami as a gentleman stated in the Democrat some time ago they are not fulfill ing their callings and may reM'ut in "sack cloth or ashes," soon or late. I heard a merchant say some. time ago if any mem- bei of the Alliance thought! that he (Merchant,) was making 50 or 100 per ee.it on his goods, that he would give the member his cost mark and take him through his stock of goods, and let him decide whether he was making a fortune or not by selling goods.

She was the mother of seven children four of w hom preced ed her several years ago. t. ...... n....K....i i We had the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with good old Mamma Nye. She j was tin unusually intelligent lady. She was a very kind mother to her own family and to all others with whom she commingled. Her chris tian character was as near perfect, perhaps as any mor tal becomes on this earth. Mrs. Nye lived near 100 years, and her influence was continually for good, whitch will continue, to live, as long as she is remembered. "We can not doubt Out she will revive h.-r great reward in her eternal home. STATE TCil'lIEUS' IXSTITITE. State Teachers Institute Monday after-noon, in the Court house, w as opened by Prof. A.

L councill and Manly 'lack- burn were judges and render ed a decision in favor of the affirmative. The subject was open to public discussion when some other gentlemen made speeches affirmatively and ne, -a lively. Anioiig whom was J. F. Spainh air who made an able speech on the negative. There will be another public debate Friday night next, but 1 am not as yet, advised what the subject will be. Prof. Alderman was present tohearthediscussion last night, and highly com plimented the young men who participated in the de bate The Prof, is giving, I think entire satisfaction to all in attendance upon the Insti tute.
