Palmer and Backner, so far as we hare been able to learn, carried one township in the United States. In Haskell county, Kansas, there were twelre votes cast in Dudley township. Of these, Palmer andt Backner received five; McKmley and Hobart, two; Bryan and Sewall, two; and Bryan and Watson, one. Hurrah for Palmer I The State of Kansas is to be re districted by the present legislature. At present it is divided into seven Congressional districts, and elects one Congressman-at-large. It will now be divided into eight districts, go arranged as to make seven of them safety Populist. The Supreme court of this State decided on last Wednesday, that freight trains may not lawfully run in this State after 9 a, m. on Sun days. The case was an appeal from Guilford county in a case against the Southern Railroad. Wonder if Banna has filed an itemized Statement of his expendi tures with anybody under oath. Wouldn't it be a sight. No one knows yet to which col umn the electoral vote of Kentucky belongs. The returns come in slowly from the back districts. THE COLLEGE CHAPEL. 'V. The "Theatrical season" opened at Lenoir last Friday night. A number of the young people of Le -noir gave an entertainment in the College Chapel on that occasion which was highly enjoyed by a large audience. The exerciae3 were opened by a chorus of little girls. Then followed a tableau, "Blue beard," in which Mr. G. F. Harpsr represented that old robber with his blocdy knife in hand and three of his helpless victims heads hanging close by. It was a most horrid af fair, and no one would have iniag ined that Harper could have himself rigged up to represent each a some. The next on the program wa3 a tableau, the "Bachelor's Dream. Mr. Harper Beall "poaed" a3 the Bachelor. He mnafc be a hard hearted sinner and should be given up to spend his days in solitude - for whither the bewitched aweeta:33 of the "summer girl' the sleepin ducing languor of the "lazy girl," nor the appetizing allurements of the "industrious girl" with all ber paraphernalia of good cooking and and vision of good dinners to come none ot these things morel him, unless it was to snore a little deeper when the vision of the "lazy girl" with her dime novel in hand, stretching and yawning, passed through his mind. Next came some fine recitations by Miss Blanche Hamilton. Those were enjoyed immensely, especially the one in which the bride and the groom were described selecting a railroad route over -which they wished to make their bridle tour. The "Mistletoe Bough," the lead ing feature of the entertainment was then produced. Mr. Harper Beall, as Lovell; with Miss Anna McRee, as the Princess, performed with great credit the leading parts Miss MoRee, beautiful, bright, and lovely; sparkling as a drew drop in the morning sun - Mr. Beall, handsome, dignified, chivalrous gay or grave, as the role demanded -i-it . would have been dfficult tc have selected a couple better suited to represent the chief characters in this pathetic story. Mr. Bsall and Miss McRee were well supported by the following "goodlie com- anie:" Mr. Willis Schell and its Mattie May Connelley; Mr. G. F. Harper and Miss Johnsie Blair; Mr. Junius Schell and Miss Genie Kirby: Mr. B. F. Beid and Miss Berta Beall. All of these perf or me d well. One of the most beautiful scenes was the May day party where the little folks were rollicking and en joying themselves to their hearts content, and where Miss Katie Widby, who was queen of the May, was mistaken by Lovell for his loner lost bride. The young people are to be con gratulated on the success of the en ttrtainment and we hope they will give ni others in the future. STATE TOPIC J. The North Wilkesboro News has suspended publication.'

Seine Heading That Will Prove titerastiog to Young Mothers How to Guard Against the Disease. Croup is a terror to young moth ers and to post them concerning the canse, first symptoms and treat ment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first sytntom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely given all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after thecroupy cough has developed it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by Todd & Shell, Druggists. Corn We want 1,000 bushels of New Corn. Spot cash for same. Lenoir Mills.

C: Dear Sirs: I have my property insured in the Catawba and Burke branch of the Farmers' Mutual, and on Aug. 28, 1896, one of my houses waa burned. I notified Mr. J. D. Glass, supervisor of Icard town ship, and in a few days he came and adjusted the matter, and to day I received payment in full (of my loss) of Rev, M. A. Abernethy, Sec. and Treasurer. I am very much pleased with the working of the Association, the promptness in paying the loss. Although the . amount is small, yet it was a great help to the party sustaining the loss. Sincerely C. M. Mfsghison. Farmers of Caldwell we want to call jour attention to this cheap insurance. We make no war on the old line companies; their work is mainly in towns. We do not in sure property in towns unless isola ted, nor do we insure machinery run by steams When your neighbor is damaged by Fire, Wind or Lightning, it is your duty to help bim any way, That much we Owe to our fellow man. We offer you a systematic plan by which to do that. If any one feels that he does not owe bis fellow man when in trouble, then he better not join the association. Such men gener ally do no calculate that they may have a loss of their own. We have some of the very best men in Cald well county in the association. We want every good citizen of the coun ty to join the association. Some desire to have this county connected with some other good county or counties. This can be done by mutual consent and by aot of Legislature, but to do this you must build up a strong, good asso ciation at home first. The Catawba and Borke branch of the Associa tion had topiy cot on losses in 12 months only 03 on tha $100,00 of property insured. If you rieairt information as to tha working of our plan, or as to the list of persons in your county who en members of the Association call on Csjit" J. N. Baird or Mr. A. M. Powell, Lsnoir, N. U., or ad dress the undereigned at Newton Delays are dangerous We had three cases in Bnrke and Catawba this year where men had agreed to insure but delayed. Result: Two of them, Rowe and McDowell, had their barns burned and McAllen had his dwelling burned and no in- surance. Hoskins & Sherrill, NewtoD, N. .0.
