The New$-Observer, commenting
on the co-partnership of Messrs.

Judge Gudger is Widely and fav

Gilmer is a young man, but is able
and 6tudious and never fails to fav

comes in contact. The new firm is
a strong and worthy one.

With Many Thanks
For the liberal custom given ue, all last

we bope to deserve a continuance of the
same. We have tried to carry a line of
goods that would please all. Though
wniie or necessity tne very new ana
choice articles would seem expensive, we
have asked but a reasonable pront on
them, and tried to offer a good variety at
all prices. Knowing that articles of real
merit or artisdc beauty are duly apprecia

than ever before, also in Crockery and

The House Organization.
From the Raleigh dispatch to the
Charlotte Observer, of yesterday, we
take the following additional infor
mation regarding the organization
of the House of Representatives and
the action of the Independents in
such organization. It will be seen
that Mr. Pearsen is not named with
the Independents who voted with
the Democrats, Says the dispatch :
After the organization, of the House
the election of Speaker was the first
bnsiness coming before the members.
Mr. Macon, of Franklin county, put in
nomination Mr. J. R. Webster Independ
ent Democrat of Rockingham, while Mr.
Leazer nominated Mr. Lee U. Overman,
of Rowan. On the first ballot. Webster
received 59 votes, while Overman receiv
ed 57. Of the Independents Lon?, of
Cabarrus, Parham, of Chatham and Wal
ters, of Beaufort, voted for Overman,
while Webster was paired with Over
man. The announcement of the result
was received with cheers from - the Ke-
Eublican side of tho House, while the
lemocrats gave expression to their feel
ings by hisses. Mr. Webster was con
ducted to the chair by Hears. Overman
and Brogden, and after a few brief re
marks called, the House to order, when
-s election of the urineirjal clerk was

The House then adjourned until 12
o'clock to-morrow. -
It ib understood that the other officers
of the House will be given to Repab
licans and Independents.
Hearings at Chambers.
Judge Merrimon on Wednesday heard
several cases, rendering his decisions
yesterday :
In the case of Stringfield and Welch
vs. J. (J. o. ximberiaice ana wne, it. u.
Gilmer and G. S. Ferguson appearing for
plaintiff, and Norwood and Smathers for
defendant. Deing a motion to vacate
attachment. Judge Merrimon continued
the writ to be heard before Judge Graves
at Marshall.
In the case of S. J. Shelton vs. J. C. S.
Timberlake and Martha Timberlake,
with the same attorneys, the attach
ment as to Martha Timberlake was vaca
ted bv Judee Merrimon, but motion re
fused as to I. C. S. Timberlake. This
leaves the pronertv attached in the
hands of the sheriff; those levied on as
Mrs. Timberlake's property to be return
ed to her, and those levied on as tne
property or Mr. ximDenaice 10 De retain
ed by the sheriff pending final decis
ion in the oremises.
In the case 01 u. v. rotts vs. i. jh.
Ramseur, from Swain, G. S. Ferguson for
the plaintiff ana t red t istier lor tne de
fendant, being a motion for a receiver,
the motion was refused.
In the case of W. O. Muller & Co., vs.
G. W. Williams, Moore and Cummmgs
for the plaintiff, Norwood and G. S. Fer
guson for defendant the motion for a
receiver was continued to De neara De
fore Judge Graves at Marshall.
The causes continued were so continu
ed because His Honor Judge Merrimon
had been of counsel to the parties before
his election. - -

Knoxville Journal says : "Poor

of the party,: others want pie in re

did valuable service for . him after
the nomination; others were, in the
state convention and for three days,
with stentorian voice, added to the

The outcome of the labor agitation
for the past year is Jthat boycotting
has been condemned and practically
abandoned, while the real cause
of labor has gained material, recog
nition in a slight advance in wages,
on the whole. All popular move
ments educate the people in some
degree, and there is no danger in
right education to any public inter

The President will not recommend any
specific measure for the adoption of Con

delicate responsibility oi ignoring eitner

This makes things much easier for him,

. TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
A mistaken idea exists with many pa
tron of newspapers throughout the
South, to the effect that the subscription
to a paper it not due until the end of the
year. The universal rule with newspap
ers is casm in advance ', and this rule,
while rigidly enforced by all the North
ern papers, has not been enforced in the
South. As a result every newspaper car
rier through the year a large proportion
oi its subscription entailing both loss and
great inconvenience to the publisher.
We think the time has come to adopt
this rule, and our subscribers must ob
serve it, By doing so they will enable
us to make a better paper, do greater
justice to the subscriber, and better our-

sensation as though the ice was be'

Lie says he saw the ice roll, as it
were, in waves, and then split in
two, making a similar crack to one

glared at him fiercely. The head of
the beast remained above the ice for
several seconds, and Brown says he
had an excellent opportunity of
seeing it. Brown thinks it is the
sea serpent that was seen off Kin-1
shore last summei. Brown is the
first man on record in these parts
who has seen tbe serpent in Decem
