I Notice is hereby given that a public ; meeting of citizens will be held at Mc fNeely's Hall, Friday evening the 15th inst., to invite the Democratic party to hold its next State Convention at this place. f MANY CITIZENS. o - Our friend Jno. Wilson lias a pig. He says his pig will drink a bucket of slop and he can then put the pig in the bucket. He wants to know what becomes of the plop. This is equal to Bostian's egg pack ing. He sas a barrel will only hold three bushels of oats, and that he can pack two and a half bushels of oats and two and a half bushels of eggs in it. o j We IctH ii that a man 4n this county found. one morning, iu his pen, a dead hog it being still warm, he had it clcau ' ed, made into sausage and brought it to town and sold it. The Grand .Jury should find him out. We wish the catholics had him, and would put him through a course -of their tortures. That is the worst thing We can wish him. ; ; . , . . O 5 Neauhy a Kirk. Mr. W. F. Lackey sustained si loss of about 75.00, last Tuesday, by his gin accidentally catching fire. It is supposed that it took tire from a match which was found afterwards. ' He was fully. 'insured with J. Allen Brown. The amount was adjusted Und settled by Mr. -Brown on the 10th. --His policy would have expired on the 9fh inst., lire on the 5th, just in time. " - . o . A young lady badly hurt. A daughter of Mr. A. Brown, this county, was-return -ing from a funexal, on horse back, last week, when the horse became frightened at some oxen, and started to run, but Miss Brown. held him. back with a curb bit, when the horse reared up and fell backwards on her. She waspaiufully, and it was feared, fatally bruised. She was improving when last heard from, but have heard nothing definite for several days. ... o Late Sv hoot. It will be seen elsewhere ia this paper, that Mr.J. M. McCorkle proposes to open a law school in this place. Few members of the Bar iu Western N. Carolina are better qualified than he for the work of instructing candidates for the Profession . The office ad va u tage he offers will be especially valuable, to students, for here are offered notxmly the theoreti cal knowledge of law, but also the prac tical parts of the Profession, which at most school are not taught, and which require years to learn after going to the Bar. 0 Extract from a letter written to a rela tive by a Texas lady : - I regret to War that you are out of em ployment, but 1 cannot encourage, you to come to Texas. In the tirst place, I do not like to recommend Texas to any one; and in the second place,., if you intend to make your living by clerking, this would be a bad place for you. If you wish to farm or raise stock my advice would be for you to conic West, but for anything elm? yon had better stay where you are. If you had sufficient means to engage in buMuess for yourself, (a family grocery for instance), you could do well bv goug to some frontier county. A mail 'coming here would find it difficult to ;et employ ment, and at a very iovv salary at that." 5 FRKK PROPKRTY. " :Thc:re is a gentleman in this town, who offers to give a. fee simple deed to an eligible town lot to any competent man who will establish, on it a WAGON MAKING SHOP. Also '20 acres of land, rent free for five years to any one who will plant ami tend on it a " . - VIXEYAinAXI) FRUIT TREES. Also, the use" of onejof the best build ings in town, renfe-free for one year, to any inan who Will oiwn it as a TOBACCO WAREHOUSE. ' These are splendid offers, and ought find acceptance'.' There are also more the same kind. X x to We hare received an anonomons letter from a young lady replying to an Article which uppeareu in lite Watchman a, few weeks since, about "Lovelv woman and her ways." We never oublish anv letter . v , without the 'writers';-, real name: We Avould advise this young lady, however, to discriminate l)Ctweeu the petty follies of fashion, and the degradation of slums and gutters. In the article referred to above there was nothinar but what a true ct tind christian lady would approve. o - Sassafras Oil. The sassafras oil trade has Wen ruined in this section by the people who make and sell it to our mer chants. It is being adulterated with Kerosene Oilwfiich mixes with the Sas safras, and tlte odor Of the latter destroys the former so that it cannot be discovered.-One of our merchants has between Ore and six hundred pounds of this adulterated oilln N. Y., for which he can find no sale. It is to be regretted that our merchants are forced to have uoebn fidence in those from whom they have to buy. This discovery has ruiued"the oil business. The pennyroyal oil trade was ruined in the same way last summer. Young America Stjej, Ahead! A farmer in this county had a lot of young trees in his orchard which were bearing fruit for the first time. Among them was Uiu apple tree, the fruit of which he was Especially desirous should mature.- He called up his six children and spoke to them in this wise: "Now, you all see that tree, I want those apples to get ripe and the first one of you that pulls off, shakes off, or knocks off an apple I will -thrash severely." They all promised and the old man felt secure. A few das after, on examining the tree he found the cores hanging to the stems; the apples had been eaten from the tree without being pulled, shaken or knocked off. He was very much vexed, and called up the brats and inquired of them. The youngest son 'fess ed up, and said : "Pa, yon didn't say I mustn't eat 'em off the tree." The old man never whipped that boy. MEETING of TOWN COMMISSIONERS. The Commissioners for the town met in the Mayor's office, on Friday evening, Feb. 1st, 1878. Present, Mayor Stewart, and Commissioners Marsh,Atwell, Hornh, Snider, Kesller, Holmes and Kluttz. " The city weigher reported gross receipts from public Scales for January $10.70. The Mayor reported that the Shober bridge had been repaired and crossing built on Fulton Street. The city attorney filed a written opin ion that certain: real estate belonging to the Presbyterian Church was liablo to taxation, and the Board ordered that it be taxed accordingly. Commissioners, Snider and Horab, were appointed to ascertain how much gas pipe the town has paid for, where it is situated, and what it has cost. Commissioner Kluttz from the commit tee on graded school, reported that if the town would appropriate $-100, a like amount could be obtained from each the district fund, and the Peabodyfund, mak ing 900, with which a good free school with two or three teachers could be main tained for ten months in the year; where upon, on motion of Commissioner Atwell, it was ordered, that alt" poll taxes for the town be-devoted to the purpose of main taining free public schools for the children of the town : the taxes so collected from whites for a school for white children, aud the taxes so collected from colored men, for a school for colored children." Mr. Kluttz was directed to confer furth er with the district Committee and the Superintendant of Public Instruction in furtherance of tins matter, and report to the next meeting. The. following accounts were then ap proved and ordered to be paid, subject to taxes. Thos. Bell, sexton, $'2o; Geo. Shaver and C. W. Pool, police each 30; W. F. Owens, work, 18.0.5 ; Jos. Ballard, black smithing $1.50; C. W. Atwell, work J. F. Deerinan, chairs, $3; Eagle and Mil ler, Lumber $2.07 ; Meroney's & Rogers, paid hands $3.75; D. A." At well, paid ha nils $2.90 j R. R. Crawford, hauling and work on street $52 ; Frank Dobbin, work $150; Jones, Gaskill &. Co., supplies to street hands &.c, $96.76. (Total $272. 13). An account for gas consumed iu J 877, and also one from Thos. P. Johnston, for a lot of stone, were laid over for informa tion. The Board then adjourned. THEO. F. KLUTTZ, Clerk: LOVE STORY. y Moses had fully made up his mind to pop the question it was his duty to doit; for he had been courting the girl for some time and he felt it was due to her, to her widowed mother and to himself, to frank ly come to the point and make his pur pose, knowu. Aud yet he was iu great embarrassment as to what he should do wit It his wife when got her. The fact was, as he put it himself, he had been an infernal fool for getting Into such a scrape. He had no money no home of his own and no friend who could- relieve him temporarily. But his honor was in voled, and he was determined to save that at all hazards, and to do this there was no alternative but to meet the sub ject squarely and fairly. CHAP, iu Thej- were sitting in the southern door of the family mansion, a May moon con tributing its silvery light to enrich a most delightful night. It vras getting late. Muses held the soft hand of Mintee in his own, now and then involuntavily pressing it, and leauiug nearer and nearer. He felt all the time that asking her consent was a mere formality which he mut ne cessarily pass through, and was thinking, t also, of how he should break the subject to Mrs. Means, her mother, the next morn iug.. rTbevfuture was all shrouded iuthu;k ncss, but he was strong in' the faith of a kind, over ruling providence in .hisease, so he was noW 'feeling)dfccidelyXTippy . It was an auspicious moment, aud almost ! without knowing the Words heiitterel ne asked Mintee if ehe -would have him. Mintee was a sensible, straightforward sort of person too, aud answered him promptly "no." To say Moses was thunder-struck would be a feeble expression of the fact. He rose from his seat rubbed. Ins eyes, run his fingers through his hair, and moved a step or two, as if to assure himself that he was really awake. Then addressing his adored with 'Did yon say no V1 Received the prompt reply, "yes." How and when he got away from the place he never could tell, but found him self next morning in Lis nsual bed, and his horse, saddle and bridle were in their accustomed place. He had a dazed sense that something had happened during the night, but it was a something he never ventured to speak of until twenty years after it occurred. ; , ----- .-"' Mr. Watchman: I was exceedingly gratified to see in your last issue an edi torial recommendation of Maj. Jas. E. Kerr for the Judgeship ' of this District. The suggestion of the name of Maj. Kerr brought me back to the palmy days of the Republic when men of virtue and intelli gence were placed, in responsible offices and not political tricksters. From a long acquaintance of Maj. Kerr, I fully eudorse the recommendation, for in addition to his legal knowledge, cour teous and diguitied mauners he will cer tainly make what is vow so desirable, a "righteous Judge." YADKIN. For the Watchman. A BRILLIANT WEDDING. On last Thursday evening the quiet and stpid town of Mocksville was the scene of one of the most fashionable wed dings, which has vitalized the dormant spirit of cupid, in this vicinity, for lo! these many, many days. The high con tracting parties were Mr. Phillip Hanes aud Miss Sallie E. Booe. The "beau knot" was tied by Rev. A. L. Crawford, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Mocksville. Nearly one hundred of the elite of the towns of Mocksville, Salisbury, and Winston, were present. At 9 o'clock supper was announced. The extensive tables litterally groaned beneath the weight of the rarest luxuries of the mar kets of Danville aud Salisbury, and a peep in would have tempted the palate of the gods. Unalloyed happiness took full possession of the delighted guests, and they did not count the fleeting hours, and remained till the "wee sma' hours" of the night. The bridal trousseau was of the finest and richest pearl colored silk, trim med in lace and white satin. The honor of attending the bridal pair was confer red upon Miss Maggie Booe and Mr. John Hanes; Miss Kate Hanes and Mr. Phillip Booe; Miss Florence Clement and Mr. William Woodruff; Miss Ada Crawford and Mr. Charley Clement; Miss Ida J. Rose and Mr. Bohannon. Miss Maggie Booe, wore white silk made and trimmed in the high est style of the art. Miss Haues wore a splendid white silk trimmed in lace; Misses Clement and Crawford, white lawn trimmed in lace and satin; Miss Rose, white alpacca trimmed in lace. Although the ladies wardrolies were not of the most extravagant fabrics, yet they showed the higher t order of cultivated taste. EPICURIUS. A correspondent -writes to the Reids ville Times from Danville, Va., as follows : A lady from your State, near Asheville, was here last week, trying to get work. She taught music and lace work. She wfas a widow lady, the widow of a mason, and a mason's daughter, and besides had her two little children with her., She only asked work. Not a stitch did she get. Fine " ladies . under mansard roofs felt too poor to encourage her. She stop ped at the American Hotel, and the pro prietors were very kind to -her and. her little ones. She staid a week, trying every day foe work, and the hotel charg ed her only 25 cents a day. She went from here towards Charlotte, N. C. The Morganton Blade gives some fur ther particulars of the death of Creed F. Young, State Senator from Burke, Cald well and other counties. It says: It is told us that he had been out on a hunt at night aud returned home very late. Not wishing to disturb the family, which had retired and been asleep for some time, he hoisted a window to get into his house, 'and when found next morning was lying across the window sill, with one half of his body hanging outside, frozen to death. His body was quite wet, as though he had been in the river, and it is presumed he was so overcome with the cold that he could not make the effort needful to get through the window. r (Wadesboro Herald.) The Raleigh New favors Salisbury as the place and. June as the time for hold ing the State Convention ; the claim for that place being on the ground that of the three other points mentioned, Charlotte is too far West for the northeastern coun ties, and at Raleigh aud Greensboro as pirants would have "local advantages over those from other parts of the State." This objection, it appears to ns, applies with equal force to all places suggested unless indeed the "aspirants'1 are exclu sively confined to Raleigh and Greensboro. This is a trouble always to be encounter ed in locating a Convention, and it seems to us that the Executive, Committee should simply consider the questions of access ibihty, hall and hotel accommodations in determining upou a place. One thing must be remembered ; there were a"thou sandjdelegrates at the last State Conven tion and will most likely le more at the next. HasCharlotteaKsbury, or Greens boro, either, a hall that can accommodate them 7 Onent Hall, in Snlislmrv will unrhinL- ibe large enough for the occasion. i a WRITING FOR THE PRESS.. .
