For to make them more divine Yet the star not all men heeded, ' Fewer still who sought the sign. Calves and kine and cattle lowly Slept and slumbered in the hay, While the helpless Babe and holy On th9 lap of Mar lay. Such a couch as finds a stranger, la these humble barns of ours, Joseph made them in the manger, Sweet with withered herbs and flowers. Then while he whose mind was molded By his Maker, nigh them slept; With white pinions furled and fold ed, Guardian angels vigil kept Hark ! some movement at the gate way, Some subdued and solemn di? ; urib-irut, and opd, straight ay Strangers three come riding in Dark might be the night and sable But behold yon wondrous star Steady beaming o'er the stable; I"i has )od them from afar. S il! their kingly counsel , keeping, Enter they that place of rest, And, behold, the Babe is sleeping Tranqnil on his mother's breast Wings divine are wafted o'er him, Waking Mary, waking him, . While the wise men kneel before him In the place no longer dim. Frankincense and myrrh in measures-Many a tribute, many a hoard, Gifts of gold and costly treasures Are before their King outpoured. Having worshiped, given unsparing, No man urging them to stay, They were courtly, kingly bearing In the dawning ride away. And through Bethlehem, shorn of glory, Fades to night in fields afar, Still the good book tella the story Of the wise men and the star. From GrisitB A Granite, N. O., Dec 12, 196, To the Editor o The Lenoir Topic : Mr. Jno Smith, of the firm of Field & Smith, has moved his fam ily into the large and commodius Rassel house on Country street. We would be glad to have more such families as Smith's Mr. Jno. Hoke has bought and will improtre the original Elmore house and property, one of the most desirable locations on Hickory street. M-. Arthur Turnmire, one of our best wood workmen, has bought a lot and will build a residence oppo site Mr. Warlick's residence on Shoals street. We usually hear of wedding bells, but on this occasion we bad wed ding whistle. On last Wednesday evening at 4:30 o'clock at the resi dence of the bride's mother, Mr. Henry Warlick and Miss Lela Teague were, in the pres ence of Messrs. Jno. Hoke, James Hickman and Will Warlick ; Misses Johnsie Moore, Lula Russel, Grace Teague and others, married by RoV. Albert Sherrill. Mr. Warlick is President, and is successfully run ning, the Dudley Lumbor Co , of this place. He is one of our fore raoat, model young men, not know ing what a bad habit is- Miss Lela is one of our most accomplished young ladies, of whom any commu nity, or even city like ours, may be proud. Yes, we would guess the man that has caught her for a wife will be proud cf her. As the hap py couple proceeded from the resi dence to the train some fanny fellow gave out a volume of mutic from the steam whist'e, so voluminous, monotonous and so good was this music, that Mr. Warlick at once dispatched a boy with orders to have h'a part of it discontinued. The bride and groom went on an extended wedding tour to Charlotte Columbia and other places. Mr. W. has had this foolishness in his head for some time, proof of which is his having just finished avery fice cage for this bird. Granite en tnassa joins the writer in wishing taenia happj 1-fe through the re mainder ot their days. Granite asks for the saw contest mentioned in the Topic and to get the same to come off here we men tion several reasons why it should and some offers wa. make. It being on halfway grounds between the contending parties. Ours being one of the most progressive towns on the rail r:ad. Ours having plenty of good material for Judges. We are in close communication with Lenoir and Hickory and can on short notice collect large crowds from the country. Why should it not come off here ? We will fur nish the wood to saw. Penty of room, all ttie spectators and with proper arrangements men to do the sawing and plenty to eat for all who come hungry. A young Mr. Coffey, purporting to have recently come from Mother ville, is at present stoping with Mr. Lirkin Coffey, a relative of his We are respactively informed what his mission is and that is doing all in his power to procure the posi tion of our genial and splendid lft tle fellow, Mr. G. Ivey. We will not be meddlesome, neither will we say anything to injure Mr. Coffey's reputation in this line but as Mr. Ivey is giving perfect satisfaction we do not see cause for a change of bosses at present. Erma, little daughter of FeMx Abcrne;t r, who has been seriously sick' ia coavalscin,g. Occasionally. What Does It When rheumatic pains opreesed me aore, And cramps and aches made life a bore, What made me better than ever before ? "Hart's Great Relief." When consumption stared me ip the face, And doctors said, "I'd run my race," What cured my cough, and changed the case ? Symphyx" What was it cured my aching head, Cleansed blood and liver when al. most dead, And gave me health when hope had fled ? "Hart's Blood and Liver Pills." And when the babe was covered with wrinkles, Ugly blotches and painful pimples, What turned it all to smiles and dimples ? "Mrs. Winslow's Vermifuge." From Hudson. Perhaps you would like to have some news from "God's Country." I want to state to the readers of the Topic that Hudson is not the wild, rough place that many people think it is. In conversation some time ago with our little man, Mr T. J Lutz, he said that he hadn't seen a drunk man on the streets of Hudson for quite a good while The place has entirely reformed, and iust now this Scripture comes toeurmind: As it was the case with the Lunatic of old who mher ited the Cemeteries, etc. After meeting with Christ, tin great Physician, be was found sitting, clothed and in his right mind. So we can very truthfully say that Hudson is a strictly "moral," quiet, and beautiful little village. We wijl try to find time o write more fully about Hudson m the near future. I W'll only add one other item at present. Our little town eeemH to be a great centre of attraction. For, at regular inter vals, wc eee ynung men on our Btreo's of late, from both Lenoir and Giv.niu- Ft-lls, tnd we are com pelled to tay that their "culls" are neither short nor tar butween. We are glad to eee our friend Mr. George Hait, who arrived from Texas Monday last, the 7th inst. His family and friends say "let ua kill the fatted calf" and "rejoice and be merry for onr son that was lost is found," etc. He is one of the many that we have taught in school; and a son of Mr. Jacob Hart who is a good Democrat in gcod standing aud one of our '96 Magis trates. On Friday following Thanksgiv ing, Misses Tuttle Powell and Net tleton, teachers of Mountain View Academy, favored the school of Mr. R. B Bush and B. F Howell with a visit Let us say that their presence is ever acceptable and their visitations helpful " In reply to your Baton corres pondent concerning the Bicycle fracus. we have this this to say: He was the chap who did the ''roll ing away," and that almost imme diately after arriving at the home of Mr.W. M Smith, hebantered me for a foot race and I beat him. The next night in a debate my side beat his, and he was only afraid that he would be beaten to the "Dar," which I assure yoa is not hard to do, for I have seen many a twelve year old boy who would give a fel low more trouble than he can. Peter Peculiae Send yonr address to H. E. Buck Jin & Co., Chichago, and get a free sample box of Dr. King's New Life Pills. A trial will convince you of their merits. These pills are easy in action and are peculiarly effective in the enre of Constipation and Sick Headache. For Malaria and Liver troubles they have been proved invaluable. They are guar anteed to be perfectly free- from ev ery deleterious substance and to be purely vegetable. They do not weaken by their action, but by giv ing tone to stomach and bowels greatly invigorate the system. Reg ular size 25s. per box. Sold by Todd & Shell, Druggists Unas fna Dries. A steam saw mi 1 is going up here now, Draco is on a boom. W. J. Roberts, Jessie Reid and others have commenced a debate here. All are invited to attend. A protracted mteting will begin here on the 4th Sunday, we hope to have a good meeting. Mr. Robey Crisp has commenced his school at Drano. We think he will make us a good teacher. He has a good school now and the at tendance ia increasing every day. People talk about big hogs, but half of them don't know what a big hog is. There are a few hogs near Draco that can eat 23 bundles of cane fodder and seeds at a feed. If any one wants to see them call st Sam Pennela half a mile from Draco John Holaolaw, also, haa some of the stock. He says he haa hogs which will eat 85 ears of corn at a feed, and he says he will sell hogs cheaper than Sam Pennel. If a man has a full barn of cane fod der and cane seed they will suit him allright; if not, he had better let them alone. He is anxious to sell as he is about oat of corn, fodder, and seeds. Santa Clays. Til Tni Exsify. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., "Chief," says; "We won't keep house without Dr. King's -New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Experimented with many others, but pever got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whoop ing Cough, et6." It is idle to ex periment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you to be jaet as good as Dr. Kind's New Discov ery They are not as gcod, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Todd & Shell's Drug Store. Notos from tki UilimltY. To (he Editor of The Lenoir Topic : Thinking that perhaps, some of the readers of the Topic might enjoy reading a short piece from the University. I send you a few notes. Eyery one is very busy now, pre paring for examinations, which be gin the eleventh of December and last till the twenty third. Unless a boy has made good use of his time they are very much dreaded. If a student gets the lessons assigned him he hasn't much time to waste. There is a great deal of interest taken here in athletic sport, especi ally foct ball. This is a good thing, as it gives the boys good out dcor exercise. The Literary Societies have closed far the term in order to give more time to prepare fox examinations. Some people have got the idea that the University is only for rich boys, which I want to say is a mistaken one. There is not 'a school in the State, if in the South, which offers as many advantages to a poor boy as the University of North Carolina. He is helped in every way possible, both by faculty and by the people of the village And I think the Legislature ought to increase inst ead o dimini h the appropriation, so more young men might avail themselves ef the supe rior advantages which t the Univer sity offers. With best wishes for the success of the Topic, I am, Respectfully Yours, Geo Corasr. Chapel HM, N.OL, Doc" 4, 1896. A special to the Charlotte Obser ver from Ashboro, dated Dec, 5th, says: "Deputy Collector E A. Moffit was shot and instantly killed by Lee Turner, at Pennington's ferry, in Montgomery county, Fri day afternoon. Moffit, Deputy MarshaJ, T. J. Hoover and Lee Freeman, all of Ashboro, went to Turner's house with a search warrant for blockade whiekey, which was supposed to be there, made at Tamer's son's blockade distillery, which they had seized. There seemed to be little provo cation for the shooting. When Moffit took from his pocket the warrant, Turner shot him through the heart with a shotgun. Freeman caught Moffit as he fell, discovering that he was killed In the mean time some one shot Lee Turner, who died in about an hour. It is not learned here who shot Turner. Mr. Moffit was for ten years sheriff of this county, was a prominent Mason and Knight of Pythias and an influential citizen. He was 50 years old and leaves a wife and three children." The remains were carried to Ashboro Saturday night for interment. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, j Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is the senoir partner of the firm of F. J.

While quarreling Jess Edwards whipped out his pistol and fired at one of the Parkers, a boy lees than 15 years old. but missed him. lit then fired at the other Parker, who is grown, wounding him in the thigh The latter sprang upon him, secured the pistol and efcot Eiwards in the side. The doctors said there was no hcp3 for tho wounded man, but his death has not been reported.

Dispatches from Omaha staUTthat Nebraska has 350,000,000 bushels of corn to sell, and other agricul tural products in proportion. Two years ago the Nebraska Legislature appropriated $150,000 to aid the drought sufferers and supplies were sent there from all over the country. Miss May Kelly, prominent in social and musical circles of Duluth, Minn., died suddenly Thursday night of heart failure. She had volunteered her assistance at the concert at the church fair, and had just sung the opening bars of "He Giveth His Baloved Sleep," when she fell dead. A peculiar strike for higher wages occured at Pittsburg, Pa , Friday. The drivers of seven funeral car riages and a hearse q'i't. work it. a funeral and d .v.- ay, kv:rtf Undertaker Mer in Piper with th body on his hands. The funeral was that of John Sidroekt. It had to be postponed. It has been settled that the Fifty fifth Congress will be called in extra session shortly after MoKinley's inauguration and the Republican members of the ways and means committee of the present House have begun work on a new ' tariff bill which they propose to have ready to introduce when the extra session meets. The official crop bulletin of the Illinois board of agriculture shows that the corn yield of that State this year is 288,500,000 bushels, averaging 42 bushels per acre throughout the State. The average price is 18 cents per bushel. This is the largest yield in the history of the State, excepting the crop of 1879, which reached , over 300,000, 000 bushels. At Omaha, Neb , Thursday, Ver non White, a 13 -year-old boy, was accidentally hanged as the result of a boyish prank. With his play mates he was plajing police When they captured criminals they were condemned to be hanged. He was condemned and a pillow slip was tied around his neck and he sus pended himself to a bed room door. Before assistance arrived he was dead. WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO. last week I cleared, after paying all my expenses, $355.86, the moDth previous 830 and have at the same time attended to oter duties. I believe any energetic person can do equally aa well, as I have had very little experience. The Dish Washer is just love'y and every family wants one, which makes selling very easy. I do no canvassing. Peo ple hear about the Dish Washer and come or send for one It is strange that a good, cheap Dish Washer has never before been put on the market The Mound City Dish washer fills this bill. With it yoa can wash and dry the dishes for a family of ten in two minutes without wetting your hands. As soon as people see the Washer work they want one. You can make more money and make it quicker than with any house hold article on the market. I feel convinced that any lady or gentleman can make from S10 to $14 per day around home. You can get full par icu lars by addressing The Mound City Dish Washer fo., 8'. Louis, Mo. They lr lp you get started, then you can make money a ful fast. A. L. C. STITE ITEMS.
