She Watauga Democrat Ihursday, June 10, 1807. Onr monetary commieHion cent by the President to Eu topo in order that n inter national agreement on the "silver question might be had has received a very favorable reception from France and other conn trie, but nothing eeetns to favor any action on the matter. It w now believe ed that the comminMon will not amonnt t a anything tangible, but the expense of this country will amount to near l,00U,00O. If there is nothing in the silver craze, as the Republican an.l gold standard Democrats argne, why send these men to Eu rope at a big exptnse to beg for bi-rnettaluuiY It tne gold standard is the best tbiugfor our country, why not stick to it and quit "mon keying'' with bi-mettalism? The Republican! are on this money question and they see that something must be done and now they really want more silver in "them' All they will have to do is to wait and see what the Amer ican people will do about this matter hereafter. The Republicans now have full control in the State and nation. The Pretilent House and Senate are fully Republican of the old origi nal stripe. Now if prosper ity ttill lingers and no im provement in business ex cept What will naturally oc cur. What will our Republi can friends say? will they have any excuse? What do they say about our State matters? Have taxes been lowered? Is there prosper ity among us7 Will higher taxes make ns more prosper ous? We are having a trial ol both conditions. Would not most of our Republican friends like very much to be placed back under the laws oi the Democrats? We have a great and glor ious count ry. Thousands of dollars are raised occassion al to feed the starving poor in India and Cuba, but not a dollar is expended nor not an tots of legislation fe made to relieve the suffering poor of our country. Of course the Dingley tariff aud tb gold sianaaru win set tnem u p alright just wait you poor starving people of America we will pass the Dingley tar id bill and tax vou higher for what you eat and wear. .

Brown, of Baker's Gap, Tenn., departed this life May 16, 1897, and as nhe was a native North Carolinian, and a former resi dent of Watauga county, 1 ask space in the Democrat to pay a last, tribute of re spect to her memory. She was born May 22nd, 1816, was a daughter of Rev William W. and Polly W. Farthing, and was the last of a family of 13 sons and daughters to cross "over the river," only two of whom at tained a greater Kge in life than the deceased. She was married to Maj. James Brown Sept. 14, 1837, and became the mother of 10children-4 of whom with her companion preceded her to the spirit land. Sister Brown experienced faith in Christ at the early age ot 8 yeais. was baptized into tho fellowship of the Three Forks Baptist i'hurch soon after her marriage, by Rev. Joseph Hairison, and lived an exemplary christian life until death. She was greatly afflicted all through life, but bore' ber troubles with cheerfulness and christian fortitude. No one ever heard her murmur or complain, indeed, she was n periect model of patience. Her faith in a Saviors love and power to save, was strong, and she frequently expressed her readiness and willingness to leave this world. The defeased was an affec tionate companion, a devot ed mother and a kind neigh bor. She was esjiecially kind to the afflicted, and her rela tives and friends generally thought it necessary to have "Aunt Harriet" present in all cases of sickness, in fact, by her cheerful and enctur aging deportment she seem ed to inspire the despondent nivalin with hope and cour age; nut tor several years prior to her daath she had . a not been able to make any visits of any kind. Several times in the last few years, sie seemed to be near her end, but under the attentive care and nursing of her daughterj she would again revive and linger on, until she finally attained the ripe age of 81 years 1 month and 24 days. May loth, her remains were conveyed by. a conjlder- able concourse o f relatives and friends, to the family cemetery on an eminence, overlooking her late pleas ant home, and laid quietly and tenderly to rest by the side of her In tela men ted hns- m band, in burial services were conducted by Rev. J. J. L. Sherwood. A Friend. Weak Lungs Hot weather won't cure weak lungs. You may feel better be cause out of doors more, but the. trouble Is still there. Don't stop taking your Scott's Emulsion because the weather happens to be warm.
