The Diamond Bracelet.—This
charming story becomes more
intensely interesting every week.
We are daily receiving letters
teeming with its praise. Reader,
if you like it, tell your neighbors |
about it, and induce them to sub- 1
scribe for the paper at once, so as |
to get the back numbers contain- '
ing the opening chapters of the
story. If you will try, you can
aid us greatly in extending the
circulation of OUR Weekly, with
out neglecting your other duties.
Since the commencement of this
story one subscriber in South
Carolina has sent us fourteen new
subscribers, and another in the
same State, eleven, while several
in our own and other States have :
sent us from one to five new ones, j
each. Thase are the kind of
friends we like to have. We do
not believe we have a single sub
scriber, who could not get us at
least two new ones, and without
much exertion. We would like
to have this matter proved, and
the only way to prove it is ter
each subscriber to make an effort
to get two new ones. Will you
do it? If you can’t get two, one
will be thankfully received, and
if you can’t get one, your efforts
behalf of the paper will be ap
predated.
Monroe Enquirer.—The last
number of this sprightly paper
came to us greatly enlarged and
improve:!. We are glad to see
that the enterprising young pub
lishers are meeting with such
marked success, and their paper
deserves every bit of it.
A Special Premium.—Besides
feeling exceedingly grateful to
our friends for their exertions in
behalf of Our Weekly, wo in
tend to give a special Premium
to the subscriber who will send
us the largest list of new subscri
bers between the 1st of October,
1873, and the 1st of February,
1874. We have not as yet deci
ded what the Premium shall be,
but it will be fully worth an ef
fort to get it.
The Aldine for October is to
hand, with its usual variety of
rich engravings and choice read
ing. There are four full-page
pictures in this issue, each ■ ,a

Apologetic.—Measles entered
our little camp week before last,and
laid our force low for the time
bein", and we were unable to sup
ply their places; consequently
Oux Weekly failed to put in an
appearance at the homes of its
mmy reapers since then. We
hope this ex use will satisfy those
who have hmm “cussin” us about
its nmi-appe mince, and that they
will turn the muzzle of their “cos-
sin”- gun toward the aforesaid
measles.

for October, has thrust its cheery
little self'into our presence. It
brings t-> usthe treasures it has
been githering the past mouth.
This Magazine is published at
Newburgh, N. Y., at $1 a year;
with Chrom Cosemite, $1.50.
Goon Mu-rc.—No better mu
sical publication can be found
than Peters, Musical Monthly.
The October number is before us,
and contains more music than
can be had for three times the
price in any other form. Price

annum. J. II. Peters, publisher,

New Story.—Next week we
will publish a new story in Our
Social Club entitled CLARA ;
or, The Child of a Drunkard,
by W. Francis Clapp. We in
tended to publish it this week,
but haven’t the room. We have
several other short stories from
the same writer which we will
announce and publish hereafter.
g@“An excellent article from
the pen of PerCie Ashton, was
received too late for this issue.
It will appear in our next.

Lincolnton.—We paid a short
visit to Lincolnton last week, and
found it wide-awake and full of
business. It is able to smile at
the “money panic,” and to offer
money at “five dollars per thous
and.” That offer was made before
we got any subscribers there, and
after we had raised the requisite
amount of stamps, we couldn’t
find the man.
We saw no new buildings in
course of erection, and we there
fore, cannot say that it is “'rapidly
improving,” but we believe it is
“holding its own” manfully, and
and making the best of what it
i hay- SVe wore there on Wednes-
I day, and there were a goodly num
ber of country people in town,
and the merchants all seemed to
be doing a good business.
In a business and pecuniary
point of view, our trip was quite
satisfactory to us. Heretofore wo
; have sent but one paper to Lin-
. cointon; now we have a nice little
: list of subscribers there, and we
: expect it to be greatly increased
within the next thirty days.
I We called on friend Seagle, of
; the Progress, and found him as
i genial and clever as ever, while
i his paper is enjoying a high state
of prosperity. The Progress is
Jone of the handsomest and best
I papers in our State, and fully
merits the handsome support it
- is receiving.
Lincolnton has three hotels,
but owing to our short stay we
’could try but one, the Kistler
House, which we found all right
in every respect. Mr. Morris, the
proprietor, and his lady, know
how to keep a hotel, and how to
make guests feel at home when
at their house. _ }
If we bad time, we would like
to say more concerning our visit,!
■ c»mDc Dill modi liatiH^w tod
but as we expect to go there again
before many weeks, we will defer
any further remarks until then.
We cannot close these few re
marks, without making mention
of the Breakfast House at Iron
Station, for it can’t be beat. It
gives a better breakfast than any
house in the State that we have
tried, and the price is only fifty
cents.
The first instance of failure of
a divorce suit ever chronicled in
Indiana occurred the other day in
the case of a lady whose husband
died just before the judge’s de
cision could be rendered, and
there is a strong feeling in favor
of committing the attending phy
sician for contempt of Court in
not keeping the defendant alive
long enough for his matrimonial
career to be terminated in the
regular way.
