A BRILLIANT MAKRIAGE. i
On last Tuesday evening, at the first
Presbyterian Church, in this citv. was
celebrated 1 the bans let ween M r. John
P. Allison of Concord, and Miss Aunie
Craige of this city. '
Early in the evening the chnrcb yard
was crowded with spectators, tiiongh
the ceremony was not to bo performed
the urlrane ushers, Drs. John Whitehead
and II. T. Trautham, and Messrs. Willie
Wiley aud Clarence Mnrphy, seated the
audieuce. Ribbons marked the seats re
served for the invited guests.
The church was handsomely decorated;
an arch of evergeen, spangled with
bright flowers overspread tlie pulpit. In the
centre of the arch hung a mouogram A. C,
wrought in flowers and gold ; just under
this was swung the inerryt marriage bell
a model of beauty. The pulpit was a
P3'riimid of floral, beauty ; on either side
sUkmI large vases filled with floral offer
ings. 1 While tho 8iectators were admir
ing this scene, tho organist. Miss Ella
Brown, added to their pleasure by render
ings several selections from celebrated
Masters. All faces were radiant with joy
and expectancy,--when without a mo
ment's warningthe Organ, Cornet, and
Slide Trombone struck simultaneously
the first notes of the Grand Wedding
March in Douizette's Opera of Lucia di
Lnmermoore, which had been amplified
and arranged for this occasion, by Prof.
W. II. Neave. This was the signal, all
eyes were turned to tho doors, as the
procession moved toward the pulpit.
The attendents came iu as follows: "
Miss Susie Robbcrts'and Mr. Frank
Goodson ; Miss Lou Young and Mr. John
Henderson; Miss Maggio Morehead aud
Mr. W. W. Overman; Miss Sallie Phifer
and Mr. Eli Springs; Miss Lou Phifer
and Mr.H.S. Pneryear; Miss Jennie Coffin
aud Mr. W. Phifer; Miss Sallie Erwiu and
Mr. R. II. Phifer.
These were followed by Lizzie Young
and Grace 'White, Maggie Beall and
Nannie Craige;, four little girls, who
scattered .flowers up the isles. Then came
the bride, adorned in rich white silk and
satin, leaning. ou the arm of Mr. Kerr
Craige ; the groom was attended by Mr.
Will Erwing. They stood before the altar
a moment before the music ceased, form
ing a beautiful and impressive Tableaux;
then the pastor, Rev. Mr. Rumple, ro'e
amid profound silence aud performed the
solemn and sacred service. Again theswcl-
ling strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March, from Midsummer night's Dream,
with Cornet and Trombone, broke the
silence, aud the bappy couple passed out,
receiving congratulations on all sides.
....
x lie
invited guests repaired to Mrs
Ilurton Craige's, where they tendered
congratulations. On a largo table was
displayed the bridal presents the haud-
soniest collection ever seen in this city
numbering some fifty odd pieces, all
very rich and tasty. It will be impossible
in our limited space to describe them,
the number and variety forbids it.
A table was spread in the dining hall,
decorated with flowers and ladened with
sweetmeats, wines, aud all manner of
tropical fruits. The scene here was one of
enjoyment ; nftercougratnlatingthe bride
and groom, and partaking of the hospi
tality, the guests bade good night and
quitted tlie lively scene to allow oth
ers the pleasure.
'Mr. and Mrs. Allison took thosix
o'clock train Weducsday morning, and
will make an extensive tour through the
northern cities.
This is said to be most brilliant; affair
of the kind that has ever occurred in this
place. Everything was, gotten up in
die most elegaut style, regardless of cost.
We wish the biidc and groom as pleas
ant a journey through life as their happy
ceremonials predict.

are, no doubt, ready to say this is not
done to stir up a sectional feeling.

A Specimen Performance,
Another Outrage by a Iietxnttc Officer.
Charlotte Observer.
While in Albemarle this week we heard
of a most infamous outrage, committed
upou a minister of the Methodist Church,
who is well knowu and beloved through
out the bounds of tho North Carolina
Conference, by an internal revenue officer
one of those infamous scoundrels who
having sold their character and princi
pies for official preferment, and ' thereby
having lost the respect of all decent men,
have become utterly shameless, and are
capable of committing almost any kind
of outrage. The facts of the ease refer
red to are these: Sometime, ago, during
a protracted meeting iu the ; Methodist
church at Albemarle, the paslori Rev. C
M. Pepper, was several times-annoyed by
unbecoming conduct by one Burnes,
revenue officer, stationed at Albemarle
Finally the pastor took occasion to repri
mand Burnes for; his misconduct, bu
without calling any name. This wasscv
eral months ago, aud it is well known
that Burnes knew at the time that the
minister referred to him, but he did noth-
at all at the time about the matter.
On Saturday evening, September 4th
Mr. Pepper, while conversing with some
oue ou the streets, -itas approached by
Burnes and asked whether the remarks
made ou the above mentioned occasion
referred to him. Being answered in the
affirmative, Burnes said i "You are a
G ml -damned rascal.,;" Mr. P. quietly re
marked that such language did not hurt
him, whereupon tjie cowardly officer
struck -him .upou the cheek, with the
palm of his hand, asking at the same time
whether that (meaning the- blow) would
hurt him. He was immediately seized by
two parties preseut, and no further diffi
culty occurred at that time, although he
mattered something about about a pistol
- i
A warrant was soon issued, and Burnes
was carried before Esquires Green and
lAtkius. On trial lie used .very ins. 1 ing
anguage, among other things calling Mr.
P a "damned liar," bat lie subuiittc d and
vas fined xl small amount for contempt of
court; Afterwards he followed . Mr. P.
and cursed him roost shamefully.' j
JJurnes appealed from the magistrate's
decision to the Superior Court, and bis
case came op on last Tuesday, when, al
thdngli be was in town, he treated the
eourt with utter contempt, failing to put

he gave as his excuse for not being pres
ent when hia case was called, that hp was
putting on a clen shirt and the; judge
who is a republican, excused him.) We
do not -know what final
fcached in the case, but all that , was ne
cessary for Burnes ,to do to get tha: case
removed to the Federal Court, j which
would be equivalent toan acquital would
le to-make an atfitjavit that the outrage
was committed in the discharge, of his of
ficial duty, which, jwe suppose, be could
not hesitate to do. ! -
We do not wish to be understood as de
nouncing all persons engaged iu the reve
nue business; we suppose, of course, there
are some gentlemen among them. But
generally they are -the ye ry scum of crea
tion, jthe worst characters who ean be
picked up by the infamous Radical party
with which to afflict our people. It is
uot so much . that the ieople wish to
evade tlie payment of the internal reve
nue taxes as it is that they object to hav
ing business relations with such men as
do the business for! the department, and
all persons who are so afiiicted no doubt
cougf-atulate tiiemselres upon tho relief
which Haucock's election will bring them,
in having gentlemen to deal with."
How they Lie!
The Daily Dish of Deception and False-
hood Served Up by the Indiana
liepublieans.
IxwAKAroLis, Oct. 2, 1830. A person
living outside of the State of Iudiana is
wholly ignorant of the malignant bitter
ues with which the Republicans are
fightiug tho Democrats iu this campaigu.
f hey have from the start up to the pres
ent time invented aud industriously cir
culated the most despicable, infamous,
and unmitigated lies ever concocted in
the braiu of men claiming the least res
pectability. They have pinned their faith
on carrying Ind.ana or dyiug. Imported
negroes! Money and the bloody shirt!
Every minute, every hour, and every
day, of tho campaign a miserable and
contemptible lie is concocted and spread
broadcast all over the State. Ou every
train coming into the State negroes are
brought to defeat the free white people
out of their rights. From everv stumu
the bloody shirt is unfurled, and the men
who follow after Hancock are denounced
as vrcbels" and "traitors." Aud into
every county in the .Stti hundreds of
dollars are being sent to corrupt the hon
est masses. Never before iu the history
of this country, was a people subjected
to such vindictive aud villiauous abuse
as the Democratic party of Indiana are
to-day by the party iu power. Gen.
Hancock does not escape. His bright and
noble deeds in tire war for the preserva
lion of the Union arc forgotten, aud he is
pursued with damnable lies and fiendish
hate. Siuco his clear, concise and em
phatic letter, sitting down upon the re
bel claims bugaboo, he has beeu more
abused than ever. The more desperate
the cause of the Republicans the more
numerous.
their wicked lies.
The lie that a new United States Su
preme Court is to bo formed ; the lie that
the rebel war claims are to be paid ; the
lie that the negroes are to be again en
slaved ; the lie that the business interests
of the country will suffer, all if General
Hancock is elected, are constantly being
told. They lie great aud they lie smal',
and they lie big. They tell artistic lies
aud bungling lies, malignant lies aud
silly lies, bad lies aud mean lies, hot lies
and cold lies, fat lies aud lean lies, scan
dalous lies aud villiauous lies, quick lies
and slow lies, deliberate lies and passion
ate lies, ignorant lies and contemptible
lies. Lying is their stock in trade, the
bonanza;' upon which they expect to
elect Porter.

but j little can be learned - beyond tlie
boasting usual to partisan headquarters.
Eacli side has, however, made a careful
canvass of the State by townships, aud

the 02, by majorities aggregating 30,875
and give the Democrats 48 couutics by
22,800 leaving a net Republican majori
ty of 8,075. This a narrow margiu iu a
poll of about 500,000.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, which has
outsped all the papers in enterprise, has
made a canvass of the State by its local
correspondents, and shows up .that in
4 townships of tho 1,123 the. Demo
crats have gained 2,097 on the vote ol
1878 and tho Republicans 1,550, and that
the Democrats have lost 1,016, whil&the
Republicans have lost 1,438. At this rate
of increase and decrease throughout the
State the Democratic majority would be
l2,500.The most striking result of the En
quirer's estimate was that the greenback
vote Will reach 40,000 this year,if the locali
ties canvassed are samples of the whole
State. This result will astound both sides
and help the Democrats.
A social receutly sent to the New York
Times, from Richmond, Va., asserts that
thousands of the negro voters of that State
will,'"of their own accord," cast their
votes for the Hancock and uglUu elec
toral ticket."
SHERIFF WAGGONER. A. CANDIDATE
v . JOR RE-ELECTION.
To the People of novas County :
I am the candidate of the Demiieriiii
Party for the office of Sheriff of : ltowa
County, at tho ensuing November Elec
tion. Democratic conventions were held,
iu: each Township, Saturday, the 21st
day of August, 1880. . At these conven-
a S - - . m . m m.m
iiuub x currieu tx .Aownsuip ooi: oi me
eleven. r,Aecordinz to the old rule of vot
ing this would liave given me the nomi
nation. According to the new tlnn of or
ganization, adopteoT by the Central Exec
utive committee or the County, these six
Townships were entitled to cast 33 Elec
toral votes for me in tlie County Conven
tion:,.. But although I carried tho Town.
ship of Salisbury by a clear majority of
iu votes, ten ot the Salisbury delegates
voted against me in the County Conven
tion, contrary to the declared will of the
democratic voters of the Township as ex
pressed at the ballot box. I was better
entitled to the nomination than Frank
Brown, who carried 32 electoral votes, or
than J. L. Graeber, who carried 29. If
ttcenty-nittc Electoral votes arc deemed
sufficient to nomiuate a candidate, and
thirty-three are. not. then , party conven
tions are a sham and a farce, aud ought
not to W allowed to exist any longer.
The ten delegates from Salisbury Town
ship in voting against my nomination in
tlie Louuty Convention, openly and no
toriously violated the expressed wishes
of their constituents. 1 leave it to all
fmrhninded men to say whether these del
egates had any legal, political or moral
right to betray and, disregard the-declar-ed
will of the Deinocraticjvoters of the
Towusliip, who not only elected them to
be Delegates, hut also instructed them
positively and unequivocally, to cast the
vote or the township for me andtiof
against me.. The Convention voted by
townships, and every Township obeyed
instructions except Salisbury. By what
authority did the Salisbury delegates cast
tue vote of the township contrary to the
wishes of their constituents T Those del
egates represented the Democratic vote
of Salisbury townshin and nobody else
aud yet they claimed the right to vote
their mdividual sentiments, and not
the wishes of the Democratic voters of the
Township whom alone they represented
or Had authority to represent. I appeal
the people of Rowan County to set the
seal of condemnation upon a system of
'Returning board" tactics which has not
hitherto been able to find standing room,
innch less a home ou North Carolina soil!
Fellow Citizens, I have served you
faithfully and conscientiously iu the past,
and if elected again, I promise to dis
charge the duties of my office as I have
always endeavored to do, with malice to
wards uoue, and with charity for all,
without fear, partiality, or prejudice, aud
with an eye single to the good of the
whole people.
Thanking yon for your former support
and confidence, I beg to subscribe myself,
very respectfull. Your obedient servant,
c. r. wiaaocxER.
Salisbury, Sept. 8th, 1880.
TO THE VOTERS OF ROWAN COUNT V.
I am the Republican candidate for your
suffrages at the approaching election; for the
office of -Sheriff. If elected, I promise to
discharge the duties honestly and faithful
ly ; and to do all in my power at any and
all times to favor the whole people when
ever I can. Very Respectfully,
David L. DnisGLE.

An Item of Appropriation.
In telling of Warner's Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, the Republican, Hudson, N. Y.
says in its Washington Items: "It seems
to be generally understood that an espe
eial appropriation will be made for the
purchase, for the use of the members of
the Senate and House of Warner's Safe
Fills and Waruefs Safe Bitters."
Hygienic.
The Express, Chicago, says of Warner's
Safe Kidney aud Liver Cuae: "It is, m
the highest sense, hygeuic, and can be
used by young aud old with equal advan
tage. It gives the only relief yet attain
ed, that can be termed permanent, in
linght's Disease, and this alone should
rank it higher iu the list of medical tri
umphs.77
Stop it at Once.
