But a change has taken place. On last Saturday the procession headed by a band playing a dirge, marched out to the ceme tery, where a hymn was sung and a pray er offered, and returning to the court house closed the" exercises. Rev. J. C, Price did the initiative, and J. C. Dancy, Editor of the Star of Zion, made the ad dress, which is spoken of as a good speech, abounding in good advice to the darkeys. The streets were crowded as usual. The town darkev put on "considerable hile the country negro seemed consent with cheap cigars and rubbing snuff. There was not a single case before the Mayor during the day, which speaks well for the sobriety of the negroes. Prof. W. E.

Mr. Davidson, of the Magic BakingPow der Company, of this place, has left at our office sample packages of their superior baking powder. It is put up in tin boxes with neat label, containing full instruc tions for making biscuit, griddle cakes, muffins, waffles, &c. The powder does not require the assistance of soda, salara tas or sour milk, and all dealers are au thorized to guarantee the powder in every f respecti. House-keepers should patronize home industry. N. C. Dental Association. Dr. J. F. Griffith, of this place, is in at tendance on the annual meeting of the North Carolina Dental Association, being held this week in Raleigh. Salisbury has reason to be proud of the position taken in that body hy Dr. Griffith. He has been greatly honored by the Association; has been president and is now secretary of the State Board of Examiners. This board j is composed of only six, and" Dr. Griffith has been a member for three con secutive years, all of which goes to show that h is among the foremost in his pro fession; in this State and ranks second to but few in this country. Hillarious Picnicers. The pupils of the Methodist church were given a picnic Tuesday morning last at Dunn's Mountain, 3 miles south east of town. It required about a dozen carriages and wagons to convey the par ty, and they together made up quite a gay procession, and attracted much at tention as they passed through the prin cipal sjtreets of the town. There was one Studbaker wagon filled with boys from 12 years down about sixteen of them who did not seem to know or to care, wheth er they were on their heads or on their feet, and they were piping as gleefully as so many black birds in a tree top. It was the anticipation of pleasure that thrilled them, for there was nothing in the wagon to the smallest degree enjoya ble, and vet thev could neither sit nor stand still one instant. There was a full attendance of Teach ers, Superintendents and Seniors, to con stitute tne negative or tne numan mag netic battery, so that there is reasonable hope that the proceedings and enjoy ments of the day .would be regulated by the laws of safety and propriety.

The bonds of JohnGiH, city weigher, and G. H. Shaver, tax "collector, were approved. D. A. Swink appeared before the board and asked that the tax on manufacturers of tobacco be removed. The matter was laid over till next meeting. The Mayor was instructed to confer- with the railroad authorities with a view of getting the railroad cut at the east end of Fisher street put in good condition. License was granted W. H. Kestler to retail liquor at his present stand. G. H. Shaver was allowed $50 for extra services rendered by him during the year. The Mayor was ordered to have pipe laid and gas posts erected at or near the bridges over the railroad track, on the eastern end of Bank and Fisher streets Changing the Gauge. Last Saturday morning, at 4 o'clock, a m,, six hundred men scattered along the line of the Western North Carolina rail road, began to remove the rails and spike them down to fit the new guage. Capt. McBee had carefully arranged the details, so that each section knew just what it was expected to do. Very naturally these sections were stimulated into a kind of rivalry, each trying to get through first. This spirit hastened the work, so that at 10:50 a. m. Capt. McBee was noti fied by telegram that the work on the w hole line, of more than 200 miles had been completed. Immediately a freight car was started from Salisbury for the iurpose of distributing freight cars, as 11 the cars on the line had been hauled in. This w as a wonderful piece of work and reflects greatly to the credit of Capt McBee. But that gentleman's reputation is not confined to spasmodic efforts, like the ! quick work recorded; he is persistently quick, and has, without doubt, the best trained and quickest' force under him i 4i that can be found on any road. Take his bridge builders for instance; they ac complish more than twice as much as a similar force on other roads. The break in the Yadkin river bridge affords an ex ample. The ivork was moving along at such a snail's pace that General Superin tendent Thomas telegraphed Mr. McBee to come and bring his bridge force. Col.

By invitation, Theo. F Kluttz, Esq., made a speech of welcome which was enthusiastically received After the reunion the Brotherhood re paired to the Mt.

Con versauon was rue, auu, as one wno was present remarked, was properly punct uated with champaign corks. After the banquet, the parlor of the Mt.

The latest from the Carolina Queen, in Burke county, is to the effect that the prospects are nattering. The mine is a placer, or surface deposit. Mr. Mcpherson Le Moyne, of Brook -ine, Mass., was here last week. He is making a study of our forests-and has gone to the mountains. The property known as the Sitton mine, in Henderson county, is reported as having an immense ore body of quartz, which is said to be both auriferous and argentiferous. The Company are about ready to be gin operations on the Boilston mine in Henderson county, this State. They are negotiating for reducing machinery, and expect to get to work at an early day. Mr. Walter Tregellis, of London Eng., le of the leading stockholders in the Gold Hill mines, arrived here on Wed nesday morning and has gone to the mines. He will join President Levhv who is still there. Col. Dillon, of Virginia, a practical man, who has charge of some large lime kiln works in his State, was here last Tuesday. He is on his way to examine the lime stones of Western North Caroli na, with a view of utilizing them, in case they prove what he expects. He has been in the business for years and says that when he has explored the N. C. field, it will complete the chain of his observations which extend from Vermont to the Gulf of Mexico. A recent discovery near Warm Springs in Madison county, has brought to light a large body of complex ore, copper and nickel. The Asheville citizen, in speak ing of it says: "Mr. James Mc F. Hudson has given us a mass of metal, an alloy of nickel and copper, which is the product of qre obf tained within two miles of W arm springs. The ore is said to carry about 30 per cent of nickel which is the prevalent metal-in the combination. The vein is from ten to fifteen feet wide, and we are informed the ore is abundant. The Wynaad Gold Field. The Madras Mail, published at Madrasi, India, records the arrival of Mr. E. C. B. Hambley, who will be remembered as connected with Gold Hill a few years ago. That paper says : "Mr. E. B. C. Hambley arrived a Madras today, en route to the scene of the gold mining industry of the district. He goes to examine the property of the Indian Gold Mine Co., and to experi ment with the pyrites of the Alpha Mine. Should his report be favorable, renewed activity may be looked for in the district. Closing Exercises of the Graded School. On last Friday, the White Graded School closed a very successful term. The school has been established only about four years, and it is a pleasure to note the. improvements in everv branch and department of the institution. Ex perience is the greatest and best teacher, and as the Graded School gets experience, it grows in usefulness. The following was the order of the exercises on last Friday : The school was opened bying ing several selections, the whole school taking part in the music. (It is just as well to say here, that vocal music is en couraged in the school, and that Miss. Moose, who presides at the organ, has done much to make it popular.) Dr. J. Bumple then read a chapter from the Bible and offered prayer. The next event was the presentation, by Rev. F. J. Mur doch, on the part of the graduating class, of an elegant gold fountain pen, to Prof. Kizer, the principal. That gentleman responded in a brief speech, expressive of both surprise and gratitude in being the recipient of so handsome a token, and he seemed greatly touched by the kindly evidence of regard. Major Finger, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, having sent the "Pea body Medal," which was to be awarded to the pupil most proficient in all the branches taught in the school, it was pre sented by Hon. L. S. Overman to Leo C. Wallace, he having attained the highest average grade ninety-five and fifteen- sixteenths, 100 being perfect. The nnt interesting event was the pre sentation of the graduating diplomas, by Mayor E. B. Neave, to the pupils who had completed the course taught in the school. They were: Leo. C. Wallace, with great honor; W. W. Wyatt, Walter Murphy, J. L. Rendleman, Jr., Theo. Gowan, Hautian Meroney and Maggie Swicegood, with honor; C. F. Marsh and James F. Gaither, graduated. The May or presented each with a Diploma, and they seemed very happy in the possession of the evidence of having attained their first degree. This completed the exer cises, and the school was dismissed with benediction by Dr. Rumple. The sehool, during this session, has had a total enrollment of 356 pupils. The average monthly enrollment was 260 and the average daily attendance was 196. The five instructors are Prof. R. G. Kizer, principal, Mr. H. J. Overman, Miss Bessie F. Neely, Miss Florence Woodson and Miss Capitola Moose, assistants. They have separate rooms, but these five are doing the work of eight teachers, as there are eight grades to be taught. The fall term will open about the 1st of Septem ber and it is probable that the same effi cient corps of teaehers will be retained. EightB Judicial District Meeting.

It says : "The flood of last week brought to the surface, on the eastern bank of the Pee Dee, some interesting Indian relics just below the ferry at Swift Island. A human skeleton and a good deal of pottery among which was one pot almost intact, and of the capacity of a bushel or hve pecks.'1 Every thing of this kind should be saved and sent to some College collec tion, or the State museum at Raleigh. cIt is important that they should be preserv ed and there is no better way than to donate them to the State.

The commencement exercises of Zion Wesley Collegecame off on Monday, and was attended by some of the white people of the town. The speech of Mr. Chase, of Boston, who was the orator of the oc casion, is highly spoken of. He spoke of i the cardinal virtues and the importance of their observance and practice to in sure success in life; he endeavored to draw the ambition of students from the professions and fix them on agriculture and trades, and, with all, made an ac ceptable speech. The affairs of the Col lege seem to be in a healthy, progressive condition. A Tarheel Dog. A gentleman by the name of MrDuffie, lives at Koizer station on the Raleigli 3c Augusta railroad.
