this
year.

and left a flask of surplus liquor lying
near ine corn pne. 1 uesaay morning
his seven year bid daughter found the
flask aiid drank about a pint of its con
tents, jfrom the effects of which it is
supposed she will die. Moral: Never
have whisky at corn shuckings.
The coming winter promises unusual
enjoyment in social circles here. The
Old Hickory Club always has an open
welcome, while the Pleasure Club, the
Choral HJnion, and the numerous the
atrical troupes that are booked to
visit the town, make a list of enter
tainments which warrant the predic
tion that a gay winter is ahead of the
pleasure loving portion of this com
munity. Rev. W m. Stoudenmire, pastor of St.
John's E. Luth. church of this city, has
returned trom his visit home, Orange
burg, $, C, and Will hold the regular
services at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. for that
congregation, in the Y. M. C. A. Hall,
on Sunday. During his abscence he
also visited friends in Columbia, and the
Luth. Synod of SVC, held at Lexing
ton. Also, Wilmington, N. C, in the
interest of his Salisbury church. He
was delighted with the pleasure of his
visit, and gratefully acknowledges the
Receipt of ilO.50 for his-chureh.
The Conventional Razor.
J A negro woman named Margaret
Satterfield was found on the streets
Jast Saturday night with a stream of
blood flowing from Ker left hand. She
said that a negro man, a train hand
named Arthur Alexander had cut her.
She came near bleeding to death before
medical aid could reach her. The veins
over the wrist joint had been severed.
Making His Way.
There is a little boy named-
Earnhart, from Gold Hill or the neigh
borhood of that place, wandering about
in the eountry some eight miles south
of this place, on the new Concord road,
who has entered several dwellings in
the absence of the owners, and pur-
Wioined from them such articles as struck
his fancy. The last exploit was steal
ing a Watch. The loser was in pursuit
Of him when our informant left the
neighborhood, and his depredations
will no doubt be Trought to a speedy
end by his arrest.
New Potatoes.
Mrs. S. W. Cole laid on our table
some very large new irish potatoes.
They were dug this week, and are from
seed raised this year. They were plan
ted in July and are of the early rose
variety. This demonstrates that just
as fine, and judging from the specimens-on
the "table, finer potatoes may
be produced from a second planting
than from the first. It also suggests a
possibility to those who have but small
gardens to secure double crops from
the same ground each year. . By plant
ing the ground occupied by the earlier
vegetables, with potatoes, a second and
valuable crop results.
Hymeneal.
ij The event of the season in society
circles here and in Statesville, was the
marrriage of our talented townsman,
Mr. W. C. Blackm:r,to the accomplish
ed and lovely Miss Davis, of Iredell
county, on yesterday. The ceremony
was performed at Mt. Stirling, near
Statesville, the home of the bride's pa
rents, by Rev. Mr. Husk, assisted by
Rev. Mr. Wood. The attendants were,
Dr. John Whitehead with Miss Belle
Boyde4 Mr. Hayne Davis, Jr., with
Miss Annie Luke Blackmer and Mr
C. Lindsay with Miss Evans. The
parlors of the old mansion were throng
ed with guests including members of
many of the most prominent families
in the State. As soon as the ceremony
was over, the guests pressed forward
to ( ffer congratulations, which were
smilingly received by the happy couple.
The bridal presents were unusually
numerous and exceedingly handsome.
The weddinsr feast was elaborate and
elegant, being a true type of the gen
erous, able and refined hostess. The
festivities continued until 10 o'clock,
When tie happy pair, an a portion of
guests, drove to the depot and boarded
the train for Salisburyj Miss Davis
was One of Iredell's most lovely belles,
and Mr. Blackmer one of the most
popular and talented young men of
Salisbury. They have the best wishes
of a host of friends.

Fine Tobacco.
It is always a pleasure to record the
success of our farmers. Rowan can
boast of .some really fine farmers.
Among the most successfull tobacco
raisers of Locke township, is Mr. C.
woman, ne ana nis two uttle sons
raised eight barns of , tobacco this year.
He has laid on our table a "hand"
of beautiful leaf, of rich golden color,
smooth and silky. It is just as fine
tobacco as Granville county and old

Mikado.
The Bijou Opera Co. played to a
smaller house than Salisbury usually
gives to a good entertainment, on last
Monday night, but they succeeded in
taking the town by storm. From the
very first the audience was warmly
responsive and this soon became appa
rent in the increased efforts of the
singers to please. Mikado is brimming
full of pure humor and fun, even an
occassional pun creeps in, giving all
grades of wit something to appreciate.
To show how much the performance
was enjoyed, a petition was gotten up
and presented to the-manager asking
him to remain over, or give Salisbury
another early date. The manager, Mr.
At wood, promised to come back on
their return trip, saying engagements
were already made far in advance. No
where in this State have they had a
more enthusiastic house1 than in Salis
bury. While the music is not of a
high order, it is arranged to please and
to give zest to the curious and elabo
rately embroidered Japanese costumes
worn by the singers

THEATRICAL NOTES.
Hoop of Gold.
Mr. Jas. A. Merrill, representing
Mosher's "Hoop of Gold," was here last
Monday and perfected arrangements
for a rendition her The press has
been universal in its praise ot the
merits of this play. The Kaleigh Neics
& Observer calls it a "supurb play,"
"beautiful drama" and tells something
of the personal of the star, as follows:
Lavinia Shannon, the star of the "Hoop
ofOold" company, is a "Daughter of the
South," having been born in New Orleans.
Her father. Joseph R. Shannon, oricinally
from Kentucky, was previous to the war
one of the wealthiest citizens of Iew Or
leans, being sole owner of the "People's
Line" of steamers, plying between that
city and St. Louis, besides having several
boats on the Red river and owning con
siderable property in the city. Her fami
ly is one of . the most aristocratic in the
South, she being a grand-niece of the last
Marquis of Thoruond, and a cousin to the
present Earl of Dun raven. She is well
and favorably known by Gov. Scales and
also by Justice Merrimon and family.
Miss Shannon will again appear at
Tucker hall this evening, when by spe
cial request the "Hoop of Gold" company
will play a return date.
Salisbury will greet this "daughter
of the South" with a rousing house.
The Standard Dramatic Company,
have been in this State playing long
engagements. At Wilmington 3 weeks;
Charlotte 3 weeks and Raleigh 2 weeks.
This is unprecedented. The press in
those cities have been loud in praise of
the Company. The following is from
the Wilmington Star:
"The Opera House was crowded last
night to see "My Partner," and the re
ception accorded to the Standard Dramat
ic Company waS most cordial.
The play was divided into four acts,
and everything went ofl? smoothly and
satisfactorily. The Company has many
good points, and far surpasses many
troupes who have more pretensions and
not half the merit.
Mr. 8. B. McElreth was the centre of
attraction last night, and his rendition of
Wing Lee was such as to bring from the
audience many manifestations of pleasure.
All of the different characters were sus
tained, and no one who took part in the
performance has cause to regret it, for all
did well, and extremely well."
Five Children at a Birth.
A Toledo dispatch states that several
days ago the wife of Wilhelm Freund, a
farmer- near Holgate, Henry county,
Ohio, gave birth to five boyg all of whom
are well formed and alive. Mrs. Freund
is 86 years of age, and during her nine
teen vears of marrkni 1if haa rivn ViVi

ages over a year. The mother is described
as a comely German woman, and the
father is short and solid, but not portly.
This happy couple live on a small farm,
which the husband tills with the assist

the children were born iriTtte hay field,

MINING aSPARTJttENT.

North State Mine.
At this mine hydraulicin? hna hn
suspended. They are sinking the main
snatt, which has reached the depth of
370 feet ; and they are driving from
about this depth to make connection
with the 2d shaft.
Davis Mountain Mine.
At the Davis Mountain mine, in
Randolph Co.. thev are working a
small force and have employed an en
gine and some machinery. In addi
tion to this, there is some panning and
hand rocking being done, but the re
sults are not given to the public.
.
Winningham and Slack Mine,
in the same count) , is being worked by
some Englishmen! who hav fho Tirnn.
o 1
erty leased. They mean business as
they paid a cash consideration for the
lease, and besides, pay a stated sum
monthly while the lease runs. The
prospect is said to be very promising
for good returns ; in gold, They are
now putting in some machinery, in
cluding an engine. It is thought that
these gentlemen will purchase the
property if it continues to develop as
present indications would -lead the
: i. f l i-
yiuunuai miner to suppose.
Dunn's Mountain Mine.
Cant. .Tamest C. MpCnTwllnea Snnf nf
the work going dn at . Dunn's Moun
tain, says that thev have cleared the
milL shaft to the depth of 140 feet,
putting in new timbers and making
tne snait as good as new. There are
00 feet yet to be cleared before the
mine is in condition for other work.
This shaft was nearly full of water
when work was resumed during the
summer. They are using a six inch
Knowles pump which keeps the water
in fork. The plan for working the
mine under the new manangement is
as follows: When this mill shaft is
put in working condition, they propose
to connect it with the main shaft, 200
feet distant, by rising on the incline.
mis wm give them considerably more
than 200 feet of stopim? m-ound. and
at the same time enable them to put a
1 A k
large torce of miners underground.
The mine is equipped witha ten stamp
mill, and all the necessary hoisting
machinery.
In addition to the mininir trninnr nn.
the Superintendent reports that as the
result oi tarming operations they have
2,552 bushels of corn, ten bales of cot
ton and about 4,000 pounds of bright
tobacco which will average 25 cents a
pound.
Hoover Hill,
Now called New Hoover Hill, presum
ably to divert attention from the un
fortunate "manipulation" f the sale
and first .year's "experience." This
shaky business all took place before the
present Supt, Mr. Freecheville, took
charge, and there is no excuse for
changing the name unless the owners
in London prefer the change. But re
gardless of name the mine is producing
with wonderful regularity, and the new
ground opened in the mine indicates
rather an improvement than otherwise.
Their twenty stamp mill thumps away
day and night, with a roar resembling
a great waterfall. But the "clean ups 1
foot up at the end of each month
something like 6,000, and this is am
ple compensation for the noise of the
stamps. The Supt. reports to the di
rectors in London, under date of Oct.
24th, as follows:
"The ore broken during the month on
stope below 170 north has been of good
quality. Hawkin's : The winze below
the No. 1 stope is down 36 feet ; there has
been an improvement in the bottom, both
in size and grade of chimney of ore we
are following. In No. 2 stope ore body is
not looking quite so well ; the cross cut
west of the Open Cut shaft at 40 feet has
been extended 50 feet and we have drift
ed six feet south from it, and 22 feet
north, a total drivage of 78 feet for the
month ; we have encountered some soft
low grade ore which is being worked. In
two or three days we shall have complet
ed arrangements for hoisting from Pro

Washington Letter.
From Oar Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 7, 1808.
Everything points to aa unusually I bril
liant and mteretinging winter in Wash
ington. The new Congress is already
gathering in the city, and eariv next
month it will be called to order and or
ganized. An unusual number of visitors
are coming to the, city. Besides those
connected with Governmental miK
many will be drawn here by a desire to
enjoy V ashingtou official society under
Democratic auspices and leadership.
io4ta comiu8 Congress there will be
184 Democrats and 141 Bepublicans. But
forty -three is a good working majority.
As Mr. Randall has signified his deter
mination not to enter the contest for
Speaker of the House, there is little doubt
that Mr. Carlisle will be re-elected with
out contest in caucus. In this case the
launching of the Forty -ninth Congress will
be without a ripple. Afterwards, how
ever, smooth sailing is not to be expec
ted. Not only will the House continue
to be antagonized by a Republican Senate
and the free courseof legislation corres
pondingly impeded; but a new antagon
ism will be presented. A Democratio
President will be opposed by a Republi
can Senate in certain important nomina
tions. Mr. Cleveland expresses much gratifl
tion at the result of the Virginia and New
York elections, as does everyone promi
nently connected with the Administra
tion. He interprets the result in New
York as a deliberate indorsement by the
people of his reform Administration, and
it is impossible to dwarf its significance.
While rejoicing over the more impor
tant political results, and larger issues
that hang upon the Virginia elections,
there is no single event of the moment
that sinks into the Democratic heart with
such sweet and lingering ecstacy as the
final obliteration of Senator William
Mahohe. Democratic gains elsewhere
may be fraught with deeper significance,
and may throw a brighter light upon the
future of reform. But the human heart
is human, and it will dwell with obstinate
delight upon the political death of the
"little boss."
It is already evident that there will be
more social entertaining in Washington
this winter than usual. The demand
from wealthy strangers for houses is very
large. Nearly all of the better class of
houses in the fashionable quarters of the
city have been taken. Many old Demo
cratic families who have done but little
socially for years past, have prepared to
emerge from their retirement, and help
to make the winter one to be remem
bered. At least two members of the Cabinet
will entertain extensively-; Secretary
Whitney who has had a large commo
dious ball room arranged in his residence
and Secretary Manning, who has taken a
house constructed suitably for hospitable
purposes. The other members will doubt
less keep pace with the usual record of
Cabinet officers.
The Diplomatic Corps is always an im
portant adjunct to the social season. They
have ample leisure and the amenities of
polite society life is their chief occupa
tion. Some of the largest banquets which
take place in the city are given by the
Foreign Legations. Already they have
commenced their round of entertainments.
The Japanese Minister gave two dinners
during the week, one to the Cabinet, and
another to the Diplomatic Corps, in com
memoration of the anuiversary of the
Mikado's birthday. The army and navy
are also highly important factors in a
Washington season, and some of'the most
elaborate entertainments are given by
them.
What Mill be done socially at the
White House this winter is uot known..
Mr. Cleveland is not a Presidenflikely to
plunge wildly into society's carnival..
Still it is not probable that he will be
inclined to depart from those social amen -ites
with which custom and tradition
have associated the Executive Mansion.
Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 9, 1885.
The Capitol has been set in order for
the Forty-Ninth Congress. It has been
thoroughly cleaned inside and outside,
neatly earpetcd.and otherwise made ready
for the Representatives of sixty millions of
people.
Nearly one half of the new Congress
will consist of inexperienced men. The
total number of members in the House of
Representatives is 325. There will be
138 new members. These will be at a
disadvantage for some time. No matter
how able- or how well informed a man
may be on general subjects, he will be
clumsy in Congress until he learns some
thing of its circuitous methods of doing
business. It has been charged that the
rules of the House were made especially
for the purpose of retarding legislative
work. The majority rule was abolished
long ago, and the present rules are so
constructed that a well led minority can
defeat with ease the most positive will
of the miyority.
There continues to be much talk about
the result of the New York and Virginia
elections. One effect thus far shown is
encouraging to the Administration. The
Republican Senators who have been
threatening to make war on some of the
appointments are much subdued, and not
near so eager for a fight as they were.
Senator Logan says he did not make
a "bloody shirt" campaign at all. In his
opinion, Mugwumpian philosophy is a
delusion and a snare, and Empire State
Republicans are slippery. Referring to
the insinuation of some of the mourners
that he nad damaged the prospects of
Mr. Davenport, by not keeping that soil
ed nether garment concealed in his valise,
Senator Logan said : "If some gentlemen
in New York want a scapegoat in order
to get from under the hay themselves, I
suppose can flee to the mountains as
well as anyone."
Governor-elect Fitzhugh Lee of Vir
ginia, and also the Lieutenant-Governor-elect
Massey, have been in the city since
their election. General Lee cameVith
his two sons to make some purchases,
and onlv remained a few hours. Every
where he went on the streets he was
followed by a congratulatory crowd that
insisted on shaking hands with him.
Senator Mahone is so broken politically
and socially, that some of his friends
have been urging him to leave Virginia
and make his home in Washington in
tne future. There are those, however
who express the hope that when he emi
grates from his native state he will not
stop short of Alaska. There are others
who wish for him a hotter climate. It
has been suggested that he will rise from
the depth of his gloom and run for Con
gress next year.
Everything that the President intends
to recommend in his message, will, it is
thought, receive the support of his party.
The Administration is in high spirits and
great harmony among Democrats is look

; SALT RHEUM OR ECZEMA
In April, 1884, there appcaraed on my
feet and legs what the doctors called Salt
lihenm, which produced intense suffering.
I tried a greaMnany remedies, and had the
attention of one of our best physicians, bus
received no permanent relief. The dis
ease continued to grow worse and my
limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally
induced to try Swift's Specific, and after
taking four bottles relief came. I contin
ued, however, until I had taken seven
bottles, end am now sound and well, and
not a sin of the disease left. My general
health has greatly improved, and I most
cheerfully recommend S. S. as being the
best blood purifier that I have ever known.

HELPING CANCER
I have been afflicted a number of venra

without any benefit. Six bottles of the

strength has returned. And T ran walV-
farther and take more exercise than I have
been able to do for years. Its effects have
been wonderful and the cancer has greatly

MERCURIAL POISONING.
For 25 years I have suffered from the
effects of Mercury and Iodide of Potassium.
I was salivated in a most fearful way, and
was given up to die. I have had no relief
from anything I have taken for it, and I
have tried everything, until now, that I
have taken a course of Swift's Specific, It
has entirely cured me. It also cured me of
It also cured me of sciatic rheumatism,
from which I have suffered for many long

is no evidence of mercurial poisoning-or

"I Don't Feel Like Work." It makes
no difference .what business you are engag

How much better to keep your organs in
good order by taking Parker's Tome when
you-feel "a little out of sorts." It would
be money in your pocket. One hour ot
