In the first number of the Scour we declared ourselves in favor of the Alliance, and we have no just and sufficient reasons, at present, to cause us to regret our decision. We shall support the Alliance so long as it keeps out of polities—we mean as a body, for an organization cannot be judiciously judged by a few individuals. The Alliance is akin to the .Masonic fraternity. Read the following, and see if you won't, agree with us: “The brightest jewels which it garners are the tears of widows and orphans, and its imperative com mands are to visit the homes where lacerated hearts arc bleeding; to as suage the sufferings of a brother or sister; to bury the dead; care for the widows and educate the orphans; to exercise charity towards offenders; to construe words and deeds in their most favorable light, granting honesty of purpose and good intention to others.” The above is tiken from the Con stitution of the Alliance and contains noble words, which, if carried out as they propose to do, will unite them in a brotherhood whose strength fears no opposition; whose purpose is to render “unto Ceasar the things that COMMISSIONERS COURT. Hayesville and Murphy Telephone Line Granted Privileges— Other Business- The Board of Commissioners for Cherokee county assembled Monday of last week in regular monthly ses sion.

Having had several years experi ence in dentistry, and being well pre wed to do any work in my line, J oiler my services to the people of Murphy and surrounding country. Promising to do their work in the best manner, on the most reasonable our government run on an economical basis, and because the Alliance so declare themselves, is that why you say it is a political machine? Bring your reasoning faculties into play and see if you are not mistaken. We have carefully and thoughtful ly studied the principles of the Alli ance as set forth in its Constitution, and we have yet to find one objec tion. The objection—a political body —is on the outside of the book, for it is clearly shown not to be found in side. The farmers have been battling single handed long enough to see tnat they could not hope, to accom plish anything, and they come to- getlier and united for one grand PERSONAL MENTION.

After revising the jury list, The Western North Carolina Fair, There is music in that name, and while the ring of music is pleasant to the ear, we should bestir ourselves and make this fair one of the grand est ever held in North Carolina. The Asheville Citizen, with that characteristic energy of a prominent paper and ever watchful of the inter ests of this glorious country, sug gests that a fair be held next year; and Asheville is the proper place to hold it, because it is the most access ible point, and is one of the rushing towns. There are about sixteen counties that could make a creditable display of their minerals and cereals.

Editors Cherokee Scout-. A paper should not only be an in dex of the resources of a country, but should be a pioneer in all its im provements and advancements. In the earlier developments of a country its minor interests should not be neglected in an endeavor to upbuild itsmajor interests In doing thus, both are thwarted. Now, I wish to call attention to a much needed improvement, which has been brought before the public time and again. I have reference to that portion of the Murphy and Hayesville road leading from Brass- town to .Murphy. A portion ^f this road should be changed and pieced above “high water mark,” an^a bridge should be placed across Brass- town, just above where the ford now is. It will cost no great-deal of money to make these improvements. Such improvements will not only prove a “joy forever” to all those who travel this road, but will add permanent and lasting prosperity to the county of Cherokee, and the em bryo city of Murphy. This road is the sole highway for a considerable portion of Cherokee and the gem county of Clay. Be sides two splendid counBes in Geor gia use it—Towns and Union. It will require no great amount of money to do the work. It ought to be done at once. This road is a liv ing scandle to the splendid county of Cherokee. I am reliably informed, and I have no doubt of it, that Clay would be too glad to make the improvement were she sure of that portion of Cherokee North of “Big” Brasstown. This portion of the county is one of the brightest gems in the coronet of t'borokoo While we have a sincere and de voted attachment for our sister coun ty Clay, we expect to remain loyal and devoted to our maternal county and her noble sons, than whom there are none superior. Every one knows this improvement should be made. Then let our Commissioners “then, be up and doing,” and “act, act in the living present.” I. S. I).

Great Opportunities. Never before in this country was there so much capital seeking safe and profitable investments as at the present time. The spirit which con trols this capital is very different from that which recklessly throws money on the dice board of specula tion, either to win quickly and enor mously or lose all. For that class of operations the new towns that are springing up all over the counrty, and whose future no man can foresee, offer a wide and fascinating field. For prudent investors there are fine chances in Cherokee county. There is absolutely no risk in buying property here. As well talk of gold being at a discount as these lands ever selling at less than present prices. The only question is what the use will be. The mineral wealth—the iron and marble and talc—has as yet only been guessed at. All the undeveloped in terests arc still held at low prices. AVhen these rich mines have been more fully tested and our shipping facilities are better, as they will be in a few months at the fartherest, there must be an immediate advance . from illy, to one hundred per cent, ihere are grand water powers all along our streams which may now be had for a. song. Practical men do I not need to be told that they will be [ valuable in the future. Tea there are our hardwood timber, the finest in the world, and our soil, which produces abundantly of all the fruits and all the agricultural staples of the temperate zone; and there are bar gains awaiting the purchaser, which if they were generally known and fully appreciated, would bring 1 n million dollars into the country in the next year. But the best chance of all, and this is open to rich and poor alike, is to invest in a home in the best ilimato in the world. Here, where the winters are brief and mild and the long summers are tempered by the mountains breeze, where the water is pure and the air invigora ting, where the birds sing nine months in the year and nature never wholly puts off her robes of green— here, if anywhere, one should be healthy, happy and contented. TOPICS OF THE DAY. Franklin is making a tremend ous effort to secure a railroad, and we’ll bet our old hat she'll get one, too. “Give me a dollars worth of stamps, please,” said a lady to the clerk at the postoffice. “What denomination, madam ?” “Presbyterian I suppose. That’s what Mr. Wanamaker is, I believe.” Every person who has raised an exeeptionably large apple, peach, pear, potato, melon or squash, a very tall stalk of corn, or any unusually tine agricutural product is invited to bring the same to the SeouT offee and have the story of his achieve ment told in the “People’s Paper.” Horace Ellington, of the Ellijay Courier, is jealous of Ben Holden, i the prettiest man in North Georgia. In his last issue of the Courier, he says: “A certain bachelor, the rear bosom of whose pants is slightly dis figured, has for his motto this legend: “Look forward, not backward.” When calling on the ladies, he always faces the music and when he takes his leave, with more than the polite ness of a Chesterfield, he walks back wards, and bows and smiles, and wishes for a long tail coat.” Probably the most remarkable family in the United States is the Walker family, living near Hender sonville, N. C. William Walker, the oldest member of the family, was a soldier in the war 1812, and pro fesses to remember the Revolutionary War. He is generally supposed to be about 110 years of age, although the record is not as exact as might be wished. At an early day Walker came to North Carolina, where he raised a family of twenty-two children, equal ly divided between the sexes. The eleven boys ranged in height from 6 feet 4 inches to 7 feet, and all of them are still living. Seven of these men have sons, and there is not one of these sons who is less than 6 feet in height. There are twenty-five grown grandsons, and every one of them is full 6 feet and over in height They have always lived in the mountains a few miles from Hendersonville, and follow farming for a livelihood. No record has been kept of the genera tions, but there are five living gener ations, and the families have been large, so that the descendants of this man, who is still living, it brought together would make a respectable sized town.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor Renders the hair soft, pliant, and glossy, promotes a fresh growth, and cures eruptive diseases of the scalp. Mary A. Jackson, Salem, Mass., writes: “I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor for a number of years, and it has alAvays given me satisfaction. It is an ex cellent dressing, prevents the hair from turning gray, insures its vigorous growth, and keeps the scalp white and clean.” “ Several months ago my hair commenced falling out, and in a few Aveeks I Avas almost bald. I bought a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor, and, after using only part of it, my head was covered with a heavy growth of hair.”— Thomas Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky. Ayer’s Hair Vigor, Prepared by Dr. J. C.
