Steele Towxsuip, June 4, 1883.
Dear H'dfrAMMfH :
lu the beautiful, mellow twilight of last
mlnesday evening, was seen gathered
at Mr. W at. barber s quite a
the good looking of Steele (among whom
was your . humble servant); some from
Scotch Irish, Unity and Franklin, aud a
sharp sprinkling of the elite from Salis
bury, Mocksville aud Wilkesboro, all
good humored aud jovial, to celebrate
the marriage of Dr. B. C. Clement aud
Miss Liua Barber. Precisely at the ap
pointed time the happy couple marched
slowly into the parlor, aud beneath the
large floral bell, suspended from beauti
ful garlands, were make "bone of oue
bone and flesh of one flesh" by Kev. U.
W. Barber, of Wilkesboro. The cereino
uy was the Episcopal unabridged, aud pro
nounced by all who heard it, as most el
iMLjiciuly rendered by the officiating min
ister. The bride was elegantly attired iu
snowy white, full jeweled, and by the
way, was one of Steele's favorite speci
mens. The Doctor had 011 his best looks.
and made a line appearance. Upou the
whole it was an elegant and impressive
ceremony throughout.
Next in order was supper. A long
table, beautifully decorated with flowers,
ferns and evergreens, groaned beneath
the good things of the land. Your cor
respondent was in appetite and you may
guess the balance. After supper the par
lor was an uuiiiterupted scene of pleas
ure till a late hour, when 1 was reminded
that "the best of frieuds must part." Leav
tho happy pair in the beginning of a
blissful life which we humbly pray
they may livo long to enjoy, and after
death be gathered lo that rest that re
mains for the people of God.
Clou Knocker.
Editor Watchman :
There is a great deal of interest mani
fested, at this time, in the procurement
aud cultivation ot tho German Carp, and
us many persons who would like to en
gage in the business, do not know how to
number ot proceed, iu order to procure a supply, we
will make a tew suggestions tor the in
formation of all such.
iu the first place, we advise the build
ing of a suitable poud in which to place
the carp when leceived.
The most suitable place, is some cove
or basin, say 100 or 150 yards below a
stroug spring which will afford sufficient
water to prevent stagnation.
Having selected such a site, the next
step is to cut hill-side ditches entirely
around, so as to prevent any sr. 1 face wa
ter from running iuto the pond iu times
of freshets, which of course would be lia
ble to break the dam. These side ditches
should extend entirely below the iitend
eil dam, aud empty into the branch below
where it is to be built.
Having selected a spot for the dam, the
next step is to cut a ditch acioss the
blanch the entire length of the dam. This
ditch -:.ould be three feet wide, and should
be cut a Hit Hie i-nt depth to pass through
til soil, do wu lo the Inm I day. Having
cut the ditch, now take straight-edged,
h.dt-seasoned inch plank, saw them into
pieces of sufficient length, sharpen oue
end aud set them upright with the edges
close together at the lower side of the
ditch, aud drive them dowu a foot or two
with a sledge. These plauk serve as spil
ing, and prevent crawlisli and inuskrats
from woi king through the dam.
Now carl iuto the ditch tho best clay
you can get, aud work it up iuto a stiff
mortar by tramping with the teet or oth
er wis'. 1 lie ditch should be ailed to the
surface with this puddling.
Lit it be born in mind, that the ditch
must be, under the centre of the dam,
when built, and the tops of the spiling
will be entirely covered ni with the dam.
Having finished the ditch, tile next
thing is to build the dam on the top of it.
This is done bv carting dirt of any kind
from the surrounding hillsides-. The dam
should be from fifteen to twenty-five feet
wide at the base, in the channel of the
Hream, gradually narrowiug aa yon ap
proach the hillsides, and should be built
entirely of clay or dirt, as I consider a
wooden or stone structure worthless ou a
small stream, since it is next to impossi
ble to build a wooden Or rock dan: that
will hold all the water. Aud a dirt dam
is not only the moot effectual, but is also
the cheapest in the lone run.
The dam should be finished so as to be-
froui five to eight feet wide on ton, aud
should be built at least one and a half
feet above where you intend the water to
U lse. '
There should be an out-let, or flood
gate made at one end of the. dam in the
hillside. This flood gate should be a
frame work) four teet Wide with a plank
Atari
Having built- your pond, the next tiling
i to procure a supply of carp, and if the
following directions are observed, there
will be no trouble on that score.
Write a letter to Prof. S. P. Baiid,
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries,
Washington City, D. C, or to S. G.
Worth, rish Commissioner, lUk'lghrM.
C, and sav that von have a fish pond,
and wish them to semi you a supply of
German carp. In a few- days you will
receive a blank form, which ybu Will have
to nil up. stating name of applicant, size
and location of poud, & c. After filling
un the blank you will forward it to
vour member of Congress, or to Hon.
Z. B. Vance, or some other Luited States
Senator, enclosing a small note with a
postage stamp, requesting him to endorse
the application, and seud it to Prof S. r
Baird, ashiugtoa City, D. C. Iu a few
days you will get a postal from Professor
Band notifying you that your application
has been placed ou file, aud that the ti.h
will be sent as soou as a supply is avail
able. Having recived this notice, noth
ing more remains but for you to wait pa
tiently until the fish are shipped iu the
fall, during tle months of November or
December, winch wilt surely be. 1 lie
government sends only. 20 carp $0 one
applicant, makes no charge at all for
them, the applicant having nothing to
pav, except nlaiut 25 ceuts expressage,
and 20 cents for the tiu bucket they come
in and vou keep that. This is the w hole
modus operandi of obtaining carp, and if
strictly followed there will be no trouble
about it.
Sometimes persons who have built
ponds, iret impatient at waiting ou the
government to send the carp in the fall
and write to me, to nsk whether I stil
advise them to wait for the carp, 01
Yvhethcr I would advise them to stock
their ponds with trout, suckej-s.jierch am
other native fish, and to all such I would
say most emphatically, wait for tiie carp,
even it you to wait two yatrs.
''W hv do I say this " Because I have tried
both the native lish and the carp, and let
ute say to vou, that 1 have had some sad
experience with all native fish that lever
tried. 41 hey never amount to anything.
Whilst ou the other hand, ou tha'Sth of
Dec. 1881, I put 20 carp iu one of my
ponds, which were at that time, about
three inches long. At this date, June 1st,
1883, they being not quite two years old,
will measure over twenty inches iu length,
eight inches iu width, and will weigh
troui six to eight pounds ench. In anoth
er pond 1 have 80 that were put there in
January last. They were then only one
and a half inches long. At this date, they
are from 0 to 7 inches long, and are the
most beautiful fish 1 ever saw. the scales
being of a rich, golden color.
We have never tasted a carp, but in
tend to sample one a soon as the spawn
ing season is over. They are said to be,
by those who have eaten them, an extra
line table fish fully equal to the shad.
They are very prolific, and are of very
rapid growth, and will, in a few year,
attain a weight of 18, 25 anil even 40 lbs.
They will eat anything which a pig will
eat, such as cabbage, bea as, lettuce, mcl
ous, pumpkins, &c, and it is said a good
plan is to build the pen where hogs are to
be fattened very uear the poud, so that
all refuse matter will wash into the poud.
A small pond, well stocked with these
valuable fish, will soon furnish an ample
supply for family consumption, aud m
surplus for market.
We recently saw it stated in some pa
per, that tliere are now, iu this Mate,
1500 ponds stocked with this fish, and
'still the demand increases for them every
vear.
We believe the day is not far distant,
when they will be the common fish of all
Southern latitudes being peculiarly adapt
ed to such localities.
We advise all who have an idea of eu
gaging in fish culture to avoid all native
fish, such as trout, perch, suckers, &c,
for as surclv as vou introduce them, you
will meet with disappointment, as we
have doue; aud, as we have said before,
we have had some sad experience 111 that
direction, having spent soaie ten years
in trying to cultivate native fish, and all
our efforts proving futile and barren of
satisfactory results, never having had
any success until we (got the carp.
We advise all farmers who have a stut
sible snrinir branch filial .there are few
who have not), to wr.ite'athnWttadfrecti
ed above, to Prof. S. F. Baird, fuid.put in
an application : Then, during jt.he month
of August, after the crop i laid by,"
build the imud for their reception ; then
wait patiently till they ariive, and because
there may bo a little seeming delay , don't
get out of heart and go to put t ing iu perch,
&c. The government will sorely fnrnish
them when applied to, and the pond
ought to lie absolutely 'free from any
other fish, especially trout, perch, bass,
pike or cattish, all of which are very de
structive to young carp.

is acknowledged to be absolutely astofl-

All the cotton mills at Columbus, Ga.,
are crowded with orders. Oue day last
week the Eagle and Phoauix mills receiv
ed orders that footed up $100,000. The
principal portion of these orders came
from St. 'Louis and cities of the Northwest
aud the goods arc to be delivered as rap-
i idly as possible The sales of woollen
goods made by these mills iu oue day
amounted to nearly $40,000.
Some of Mr. Conkling's frieuds say
that although he is making a great deal
of money in the practice of law lie is
anxious to get back iuto politics. Well,
let him join that other distinguished Re
publican, ex-Senatoi Pomeroy, iu getting
up a new party.

giving his foot aud ankle several revolu

of Mill Hill, assisted by Dr. Holt, of
Davidson College, amputated the shat
tered limb, and though the sufferer re
mained unconscious, it was thought that
no serious results would ensue, until ear

signs of terrible internal injuries and
soon afterwards died. His bodv was in

Hie deceased was born ou the 29th of
July 1851, and was the only son of Jacob
aud Elizabeth Stirewalt. He was mar.
ried iu November 1870, to Miss Ella
Summers, daughter of Mr. C. L. Sum

the county thau was the deceased, and

Lima Bean as a Farm Crop.
The Lima, the most popular bean
among amateurs and market gai doners,
is slow in finding its way iuto the gar
dens of farmers. The dry beans sell for
several dollars a bushel and the market
has never beeu adequately supplied.
Lima Wans are easily raised and yield
as bountifully as nioet other pole bcaue,
and they eoutiuue to blossom and bear
until killed bv the frost. We know of
no reason why they cannot be made a
specialty, like cotton or tobaeco.and grown
ou a large scale. They w ould require bet
ter soil aud treatment thau the common
field bean, but as the price is three times
if renter, these could well be afforded. A
01 r '
rich, gravelly or sandy loam suits thorn
best, aud the phosphatic manures are well
adanted to them. On this kind of laud
wo have not found them to run too much
to vines, even with heavy dressing or
$5, 400 but will resist the charge of em
bezzling $18,000, which amount he claims
to have lost.

Mr. Editor : We were disappointed in
your not attending the closing exercises
of the Yadkin Mineral Springs Institute,
which came off May and 24th, aud as
a matter of justice to the school aud the
public generally we wish to say that this
school is now enjoying a reputation as
one of the very best scIhmiIs of the grade
iu the State ; and the recent exhibition
there, gave abundant evidence of the
justness of this high reputation.
The public examination of the classes
on Tuesday and Wednesdav, was credita
ble in the highest degiee and gave to the
public the most satisfactory evidence of
the thoroughly practical training of the
studeuts. AH the classes from English
Gram mar to Horace inclusive, manifested
clearly by their examination, that they
had received severe and careful training.
Then the public debate ou Tuesday uight
by the two literary societies, afforded the
n otpeifect treat of the whole exercise.
These represetatlve voting men displayed
a power of logical reasoning and eloquence
truly astonishing. The Mu ical enter
