LENOIR TOPIC. WEDNESDAY, FEB. ' 18.- 1883. LOCAL XEB; It makes us hungry to s read the Household Column on .the fourth Mr. Lawrence Wakefieid is at tending Catawba court which is now in session at Newton. Attention 'is directed to the bargains offered in Mr. Courtney's advertisement on th first page. - Read the Watauga courts notice and the JEteal Estate " Agencv adver tisement of Honk and Von.IUngharz. TtWl Coulttci. of ; Boone and Mr. Edmund Jones, of Caldwell, hare both returned from, a trip to Raleigh. j Col. Thomas Smith; a lawyer of Tavlorsville, Tenn., spent several days in Iienoir last week, of Capt. Moore. the guest I We have had many highly ap preciated visits from our! mountain friends since w e moved into our new quarter on Watauga street Rev. Edmund Tilley, of this county, at the age of seventy six, is the happy father of a fine boy baby. Who can beat it not the baby, but the record. , Messrs. I. T. Avery, J. VT Per kins and S. C. W. Tate, of the v Mor ganton bar were in Lenoir last week, on professional business before the Probate Court. Mrs. G. N. Folk and Miss Alice Councill came up from their "River Bide" home last week,! and sevf . eral days at Col. Folk's residence in this place. The warm weather has brought out the "turnip greens" in South Carolina, and there has been a con siderable decline in the 'cabbage market, so our merchants say. The Legislature has empowered the1 Board of Health in Burke to call out the militia and to have' every citizen of that old county vaccinated by force of arms, willy-nilly. In the article on the first page our readers will find a legend ex plaining the well known Indian grave at the top of Indian Grave Gap be tween Lenoir and the Yadkin Valley." Dr. A. A. Kent, who has been anendiner the winter in Caldwell, returned last Monday, to Cranberry in Mitehell couuntv. 0 where he will resume the practice of his profession. Mr. Wiesenfeld is having the outside of his store decorated with attractive signs. This is a move in theproper direction we think, and so does Mr. John W. Rainey, our estimable artist. 4 Rev. J. H. Page, of Rock Spring circuit, returned from his new field nf labor last week, and is now mak ing preparations to remove his family from Lenoir to their new home m Denver, Lincoln, county. Mr. Berry has introduced in the Senate a bill providing for the estab lishment of a graded; school in Leno ir, which will doubtless pass both houses of the Legislature without opposition. A graded school prop erly conducted will do a great deal toward building up our town. The special car that carried up the legislative committee to inspect I the Western Asylum mat witn an accident near Hickory dn its return to Raleigh, in which Senator Whit , ford and' Representative CrowelT were painfully injured . The acci dent was caused by Vie breaking of an axle. The Vesper met at' Mr. S. M Clarke's last Thursday night. The attendance wm large, and the I mem bers were treated to some gooa reading by Miss Em. Scroggs and Mr. Ed. Wakefield and to music by Misses Page and Bristol. The next meeting will be at Capt. Fancette's and Mr. Will Newland and Miss Laura Htalen are the readers. Nathan Clark and some of his folks, living in the Panhandle t coun- try, enjoy the reputation of , having V risited the emall-pox patients in Burke, and, as a consequence, they are not allowed" to go either to nan- land or to Collettsville to trrde They wiH doubtless come this wayf &ndif they do, yre can, assure them that they will receive a mojtinhospi table welcome. We have received a ; beautifully printed and handsomely illustrated I pamphlet giving descripiion of the j grtat "Oakland Hotel" at St Clair, Mich with a request to notice. We e always glad to accommodate our friends, and if any of our readers in tauga and Ashe want, to go ' to, Michigan next summer for their tsalth, we hope they will stop at the Oakland and present our . compli "ciiwi to tne proprietor. fc I aey cpu i i. toardwin nW.i ihid.' IIibt 1 ' , r-Read - the legal advertisement ?m Alleghany county. The last day of winter, and now "March is to hear from. -t V Miss 'Heloise Bristol, of Burke, is visiting at Mr. S.;M. Clarke's: j - Dr, J . t; Spainhour left last week on a visit to Baltimore and Washington, D. O. . , We are indebted to CoL Wm. U. .Bailey, the excellent . member : from Mecklenburg, for interesting public documents. V, . Mr. E. B. Bryan has presented us with a bundle of some of the brightest golden' leaf . tobacco we ever saw, raised in the "Valley of the Yadkin'. " Mr: W. iV. SherrOl; havinir sold 'his place' at Blowing Rock to .Mr.J3.V M. Clarke, of Lenoir, has purchased land in Globe township and moved upon it. . ; A good many of our farmers trj the White Burley tobacco this year as an experiment, with a view to planting large crops hereafter if it should prove remunerative. " Mr. Finley Coffey;, of Uolletts ville, has returned from a six weeks trip to the stock markets of S6uth Carolina, where he has disposed of a large drove of horaesand mules at good prices. j Rev. M. V. Sherrill preached at Littlejohn's last Sunday, and Rev. Messrs. Page and Pool held ser vices in the Methodist church in Le noir. Services at both the Presby terian and Episcopal churches. ' r Messrs. Godbey and Carper, the vocal music , teachers, are for the present stationed at Bakeravillo and they, request all who desire to - com municate with them to address them at that town until further notice. --Since the Legislature has au thorized the Board of Commissioners of Caldwell county to offer a reward for the killing of "certain predatory animals," we suggest thae the first premium be laid on sheep killing dogs. Iir 'Freedman" last week, Wash Norwood, raven.hued, one eyed and sixty five, took "for better or for worser," Nancy Miller, aged nine teen, and heiress to the estate of Joseph Miller, of the tribe of Ham. Ebony cards. ' By sending the Globe mail by way of Patterson and Risden we will now be able to get The Toko to oxa subscribers at that post office on "Wednesday instead of Friday as heretofore. We have 17 subscribers there now. Make it 40. At Statesville Court, last week, Marshall Mott was fined $100 for his attack on Major Robbins last fall. No true bill was found against Osborne for shooting Cooper. True bills were found against Stockton and Solicitor Adams, but the grand jury withdrew the bill against Adams and Judge Gudger quashed the one against Stockton. The case of the State vs. Jen kins, is set for trial today (Wednes day) at Catawba court. Judge Cilley appears with the Solicitor for the prosecution and CoL Folk appears for the defendant. It is hoped that the case may be finally 'settled at this term of the court, as it has already involved the county in a great deal of expense. Mr. W. H. Cloyd is having the grove on his lot on College Hill nice ly cleared of underbrush. This prob. ably indicates an inclination to build a residence there at no distant day; an intimation not inconsistent with an intention on his part to live in the house, which intention does not necessarily imply that he will become a recluse and occupy the whole house hinfselfr "We await developments and the house. It may not be generally known, but is nevertheless a fact, tha( both buffalo and elk once abounded in the valley of the . Yadkin in Caldwell and Wilkes.
