Tne Appropriate Meeting of a Jiridv una uroom at imhhmi mee. riorilt Ram. Lat Friday morning, bright and early, two men stepped into Hein 80D h & Dow's saloon and got a drink of gin. They stood at the bar and chatted with Mr. Dow a while and took mote gin. By this time the oldest of the strangers began to feel enthused and became quite com municative. He told Mr. Dow he was a widower, but had got tired of his widowhood and had advertised or a wife, who was to be here trom Connecticut that night His bride elect wanted him to meet her half way between Florida and Connecti cut, but he wrote her he could not venture f urtl.er North than Kissim mee, so she had to come here; he made forty miles of the distance and she made 1.500 miles of it. He made several trips to the depot du ring the day, but spent most of his time drinking turpentine gin and talking of his bride. By the middle of the afternoon be was tbe centre of observation and the topic of conversation, for be had pretty well advertised his business in town, and had invited quite a crowd to go with him to meet tne train and see bis bride, At thf hour for the train to come thereivere sixty of the boys at the j t' J .i it., i : urjn.r auu w ucu tue irsm jjuiicu ui ne made a rusn tor tbe first passen ger coach, where he saw several adies, but not seeing the red bow on tbe leit shoulder signal be thought she had not come, and hal ooed to bis friends: "boys, she bas not come, but at this moment some one told him she was in the waiting room, and he called again: "Hoys, she's come." Some one suggested he get a carnage to take her to the hotel, but he said: "No, bring my oz-cri;aronnd;she can ride in that After they all had arrived at the uconsin House some one of tbe crowd asked him if be had a mar riage license. He said no, but would like to have some of them go for it for him. After being told the price, he pulled out 12 to pay for the license. Judge Johnson performed the solemn rite, and the crowd dispersed. The bovs kent evmoathizinz with him, for during the day he drank about a gallon of gin and bad car ried a four-pound bouquet on the lapel of his coat (as a signal for bis bride to know him by), and about 11 P. M.. they thouaht he might be getting "dry," so they went to his room and rapped and asked if be did not want a drink. While standing m the doorway with his socks, cuffs and collar on, ard the perspiration running oil him, tbey presented him with a pint bottle of gin, of wnich, after invoking a blessing on them, he drank half. He was out early next morning preparing to take her to bis new home in the wagon be had brought alligator hides to town in. By so clock tbey were rolling out for his home at Green Pond, Polk county, with provisions enough for tbe trip. Sanford Express: Duncan lie Lean, a young white man of 23 year old, living near Mllingto. was Kill ed by lightning Wednesday evening. E. C. Beddin field, Secretary of the N. C Farmers Alliance was here yesterday. He appears to be a safe and wise man and a gocd Democrat and will not help to lead bis brelb rea after atrangb gods. some o, the farmers ia this section report that they have good cotton growing on old last year a stalks. The winter did not kill the old staiis, and tney have sprouted out and will make cot ton a avcond time. Cspt W. H. Smith, of Wilmington, has sent his agent, ir. Kackie here to auarry brow ni tone for the government build- nir at Greenville. 8. C. This build in if will reouire msnv tons of stone and a considerable expenditure of money and time at Sanford. A prominent merchant of Jonetboro in speaking of tobacco culture In this section, says that without exception, v eery farmer who commenced U raise tobacco a half down years ago and who has stuck to it Is now in a pros perous condition, has re.dy cash and !ey as be goes. His neighbors who tied the fiist year at tobacco and quit are growing worse off eveiy year. The man who goes to bed so late that he meet himself getting up in the morning is not an early riser. CHATHAM CHIPS. THE CHATHAM VETERAN ASSOCIATION THE HIS TORICAL ORATIONS OF COL. LANE AND MA J. YORK. The Crops The Champion To bacco Planters The Schools, Churches Etc. Chatham, July 12. Interest now centers on the coming re-union of the Veterans of tbe Lost Cause at Pitttboro.on the first Thursday in August next The old soldiers will all be there as far as possible, so they say, and bring with them heir wires and children. Their number w growing smaller everv year, and there will be great sur prise to many on the publication of the Census returns as to their num ber, being much smaller than most persons think; but a full quarter of a century has slipped away since the fatal days of Lee and Grant at Ap- i a pomaitox,ana jonnson and Sher man at Bennett s house near Dur ham. The historical oration on the 26th N. C Kerf, at Gettvsbursr bv its gallant and accomplished comman der, Col. J, R. Lane, will be an inter esting account of a most terrific struggle in the wheat field at Get tysburg on July 1st, where that superb regiment, known everywhere as Vance's old regiment lost more heavily than any regiment in the army at any time or place, it was . ! a . a part, also, of thes orming column of J uly 3rd, so ill-strred and doomed from the first to defeat almost an- ninuauon. zee tne fact remains 1 1 a ir M a plainly.f ully and most unequivocally established by the official reports that two brigades of Heth s division under the command of Gen.

If seasons continue the crop of tobacco will be far more than an average both in quality and quantity.

What fllA nannla wan this year is a plain farmer who is not much on swallow-tail coats, but a is n l on good horse sense. California Slang. Hw York Saa. One of the first thino wluMi strikes an Eastern man who goes out on the Pacific slope a queer is tnenseor tne word "rustler." The word has exactly the same signifies- tion there as the word "hmtW does here, and is invariably used by the Calif ormans in place of the lat ter word. No one has yet explained tbe reason of the change in the in itial letter. Another expression, peculiar to Californias is "He's a bird, corresponding to the East ern expression "He's a daisy," and implying that the gentleman re ferred to has great faculties or powers in some one particular. A Week's Sorrows. New York Star. A heart of stone would have been touched by some of tbe sad things that have happened in New York and its immediate neighborhood during the past week. What could be more tragically pa thetic than the fate of the German family who, husbaod and wife and child together, sought death in tha water as the only relief open to them from misery which a mere pittance would have cured? Some of the sad things that have come to pass have been very wicked ones, but none the less deplorable oa that account, and even more auggea tive of the existence of social bluna dersfor which remedy ia urgently demanded. We boast of our charU ties, but is there no place where tha Wendlandts could hare found aidr Is there no system of teaching by which the spirit ot tbe "touch" that abided in the Elisabeth street truek- man Could have been subdued other wise than by the bullet? Is there no way of organized charity by which these striking doakmakers could find protection against starvation at a time when such wholesome and delicious food as bluefiisb is so great a drug in the market as almost to be given away? There are a great many other sad things that hare happened during the last seven days within the wide circle of metropolitan life. But those above recited are ia everybody's mind, and thinking on them ought to auggest some way of doing good. it is prebable that the fundament tal trouble with our methods and in stitutions of relief is that they are too special in their aims. For the most part tbey undertake to provide against some particular want or mit fortune, but there does not seem to be enough of he special aid system to supply the needs of a varied popn lation. There are too many cases that no remedy fits. Senator Vance. Wilmington Messenger. Tha Raleiffb Progressiva Farmer attacks Senator Vance and tells him plainly that he will be opposed by tha A'li&nce unless he does their bidding. It says: The farmers of North Carolina pay Senator Vance. It is his bosi ness to work lor mem wnstuer ine measures are constitutional or aot Ha should do it and if the bill is aot In nroncr shaoe he should have gone to work and put it ia shape. If be is not willing to se.ve ine people we want to know it We can't afford to pay men $3,000 per annum and thea allow them to put up their brains against the entire Bute." Senator Vance is worth many times $3,000 a yiar to the State as Sena tor, as his fine record shows, but la fact he get but $3,000 a vear.
