If you presented a check at a bank and it was paid in dimes and nickels you'would naturally suppose that the cash in that bank was run ning very low. Well, the Treasury, which whenitcame into the hands of the republi cans a little more than two years ago contained a cash surplus of more than a hun dred million of dollars, is now depositing in Xational banks subject to its checks for current expenses thesmall silver currency that it has accumulated during several j1" lL,I1ItVfs lSlo, butjnes.s men oi v inston.

While this of course might not be done for some time yet, this will undoubtedly be made in time part ofa lineto to the central and (astern 1" f t Stale. The Winston Land and 1m proveiuont Co., with a capi tal stock of $1 2.".000,0()0 has already invested over $7o- 000 m real estatel s ing inline dialely around the Wilkes lo;o d"pot, and on bodi sides of the rivr, and th.'.v ianv have a large force cf hands cleaning off tiiis land, grading streets, and impro ving thi.j property. The Co. is j :;!so havmga large stone cul good for a great deal of bail ding this summer, as materi al is being laid down for sev eral dwellings and business houses, and a company or ganized to manufaeturcbrick with orders to start uponfor nearly 1,000,000 brick to be ready for use as soon as pos sible; also a sash and blind factory on a, large scale is spoken of, with one already in operation. Besides these enterprises, there a re ( stores in the new town appearantly getting a good trade; a large livery stable nearly comple ted and a large hotel only been open a few months that is second to none in this sec tion of the State. The new town will be called X o r t h Wllkesboro, and the Co. own ing the property iscomposed of some of theleadiding busi thein cities, besides citizens! of this place, whose coiuiec-! tion with the enterjri.se is a guarantee of success, as am j;!e capital wiil not be want ing to fully develop the proj erty owned by them which, all together, embraces about 1000 acres of land. They pro pose building another iron bridge across the river at the lower end of thf town, and also a large graded school building this summer, and promise a building lot and $ 1000 cash to all religious de nominations that. build chur ches ia Xorth Wilkesboro.

I hear of two engineers who arrived a t this place this week looking out a rail-road line from Bristol via. Mountain City and Boone to Wilkes bor.). There is considerable talk now ofa road being built at no distant day from here t o Johnson City or Bristol, and the impression seems to be general among people well losted upon such matters that it will surely be extend ed over the mountains. I want to say to the Alliance men of Watauga that the t it izens of Wilkes, and esjee ially the Allliance Inula treat last week in the shape of a lecture by Ben Terrell of Tex., who isour National Lecturer. He is a line and forciblespea ker, and it has never been my fortune to hear a finer o r more reasonable argument upon the necessity of the or ganization and combination of the working jieople of the country for their own jro tection and advancement; and the most extreme anti-nlliance-man could not pos sibly lino any objection to the aims and objects of the Farmers' Alliance as presen ted by Mr. Terrell.

The gentlemen spoke in high terms of ourcounty and section, and gave us to un derstand that theii company meant business. They soke also in favora-1 ble terms of the section be yond the mountain drained by the beautiful stream, Xew River. That sec tion is pec u . liarly situated, the bed of Xew River being about 800 teet higher than either the Yadkin or Watauga River. But for the impenetrable Blue Ridge range, which hems it in and drives i t northward hito Virginia, Xew River would change its present course and join its co-equal in beauty, the swift ly flowing Yadkin. W'ilk c.s boro C hronicle. President Harrison has jmssed through the South and lias gone on his way rejoicing, although, unhaj)il.y, just now in distress be cause of the accident to his sister Mrs. Faton. We are glad that his tour through the South was devoid of a single unpleasant in cident. As President of the Uni ted Slates he met with a recep tion that illustrates the good manners of the Southern peojile. There was no exuberance of joy, hut there was a kindly welcome and such hospitality as the rap id progress of his train permitted. Xo one mentioned to him that in his message to Congress he had urged fiercel.v and vigorously and repeatedly the adoption of legis lation unfriendly to the South. No one recalled to his mind how he had brought the whole force of his administration to be ir on Congress to secure the passage of the abominable and unconstitu tional election law. Xo one sug gested to him that the lightning speed of his special train was e qualled only by therapidity with which Mr. Wananiakers's depart ment had decapitated competent mail agents on the southern routes, replacing them with in competent persons. No hint was given that any one bore in remembrance the order of Wana maker that if the people could not get along with his post masters he would shut up their, offices and deprive tin people of their mail facilities. These sub jects w'ere proj)erly laid aside to be discussed anew on some rainy day, and the President of the U nited States heard nothing at the South that grated unpleas- antly on his ear. But when tlu proper time comes, the people will let Mr. Harrison know that they ha ve long memories.-Wash'-" ington Tost.
