(iovernor. is about ."il years' old. a sound tlfinoeiat. an Alliancenian and a first clans J Hentlein-iin in all' respect.". Mr. Carr is a praduate of the State University of North Carolina, a successful fanner 1 ind has nover been in poli-j tics. He was one of t ne first Alliancenian in the Stateaml j was Mare rrosioeiu 01 nie older; but denounces t h e third paity and the St. Lou is platform. His democracy i s sound and unwavering;. He will make North Carolina an excellent Governor. Mr. H. 11. Douphtou, for Lieutenant (Iovernor, lives in Sparta, Allphany county. We know Mr. Pouphton per sonally, and lie is a man of ability and sound integrity. He is a democrat from his boyhood, and has represent ed his county in the legisla ture several terms, and was elected Speaker of the last House. He is a pood cam paigner. He will make usan excellent officer. Capt. Octavius Coke, the nominee for Secretary of State, is the present incum bent, lie lives in Raleigh, and is a brainy man and n fine 'campaigner. We heard him make a speech in Roone 8 years ago. Donald W. Bain, who was nominated Treasurer, h a s held the office since. 1884. Most everybody in the State knows of him, and of his clfi ciency ns a State officer. Mr. Robert M. Fnrman, the nominee for Auditor, lives in Asheville, and is editor of the Asheville Democrat. He is a capable man and will known in the State. The people of Watauga will recollect J. C. Scarborough, who was nominated Superin tendent of Public Instruction. He lives in Johnston county. Mr. Scarborough held the of fice 1870 to 1884. He is a most excellent gentleman. Mr. Fiank I Osborne, the nominee for Attorney Gener al, lives in Charlotte, and is an able lawyer and a strong .man before the people. The nominees for Electors at large ore Messrs. Robert 13. Glenn and Charles 13. Ay cock. The above ticket commends itpflf to the people of the State, and th?re is no doubt but this ticket will be elected by a good majority. l "!.i:v i i. ami s in s to !, iii c !.U i ii k.iM.v w.-'i r li e 1 1 i Tit Slates l" l,.i'' tn . ! v in-t tie J.-.1 fr cive.i b w o:i-iiar..I ;.ols found out wli.it to most hi. .1. hi-now iaiuicl lhat ft iiar.ling thin iirca t Nl -ei t farmer from t en't w.int ( i. . !;in.l li.is .".1 1 .!. .-;r it. s 'Hi! i v. ms it is sometimes jug to raise corn.

We have over one hundred subscribers scattered o v e r t'ie States of Kansas, Wash ington, and Oregon. These subscribers, or the majority of them, owe ns from $2 to .1.00 each. They ought to pay us, but they neglect it. Now. friends, weask you that when you read this it will re mind you of voui careless ness, and that you will semi us the amount you are due us. Unless you send tip out duw, we will sti ike your name from our list, and forward your occount to someattor n e y for collection. This couisewillbe pursued alter the 4th day of July, next. We are not mad, but we feel neglected, and need what is due us. Don't you get mad, but send us the amount, or as near it as you can guess, and all will be satisfactory. This w ill apply to subscribers in Idaho, Nebraska, Tp.yus, and Missouri. Let us hear from you. IT . 1 I L. Polk has organized ... , . , ,1.4- a in; ru pai i.v iur ine ulilioii al ticket in the State, and it is p obable that there will be a third p irty ticket in sever al, if not all, of the Congres sional districts. Polk is en dorsed by the third partyitrs as t heir choice for President of the United states; but the main object eeems to be to assist the republicans in the national conflict. Blaine is now coming to the front again as the prob able nominee of the republi cans. Great opposition i s now being manifested by the bosses against Harrison's nomination, but we believe IL.irrison will succeed, unless Quay & Co., have full power over the convention. In our next issue we may be able to tell who are the nominees at Minneapolis. It is given out now that the republicans will not ha ve any State convention to put out a ticket, but will only make nominations in the Con gressional distrietsand coun ties. This move does not meet with full satisfaction by many of the republicans. HnH'sIIair Renewej will keen the hair viiroDus uid lieatlhv, and a natural color.

Small Drain is the chief product. The soil is better adapted to small-grains, such as wheat, ryp, oats, barley, millet, etc., but verv little corn being planted. It is claimed that for the year 1801 there wa raised in the county .112, 000 bushels of wheat, an trve 31.070: oats, 11,710; bar ley, 17,714. The wheat, yield for last year was from ten to 31 bushels ppr acre; reports show that. There are 50, 000 acres in small grain this year, ami if I am allowed to judge from the present indi cations, there will be a won derful harvest. It. is not an unusual thing to see fields of wheat ranging all the way from one to three hundred a eres. They often sow the same piece of land four orfive times without plowing; in fact there is but very little land here in wheat that has been plowed the second time.

They are run with four to six horses, and one man drives and operates it. they hardest 25 to 40 acres per day. The population of theeoun ty is about 2,400.

The politics of this county is a conglomerated mass of third party men and mossy backed radicals. Democrats are not here. Politically, I feel quite lonesome, as I sup pose there is not more than a dozen democrats in the county, ring every time a like giving out no uncertain sound. The third p vi r t y claims 47 percent of tin votes and the republicans 50 per cent, so the democrats don't claim anything. As 1 hava-made this letter much longer than 1 intended, I will eh ".
