The Masons hold their meetings on the first and third Friday nights of each .month. The K. of P. every Tuesday nijjht. Fifty-eight hydrants, will not aflmit of placing one in front of every mauls door in town, nor even at every street corner. Remember that. With the present demand for laborers here now, t litre need be no idlers on the streets, and grumbling aboul having nothing to do should cease. We are glal to sec Mr. Lee Overman out again. He has been confiped to his home with a severe cold most -of the time since his return from Raleigh. ' . i - j Rev. Mr. Byrd held religious serviced at the residence of .

One-dollar a week will pay interest to the Building and Loan Association on a $6C0 building. Is this not a chance to procure a home, that is offered by no other source in this country? Throwing rocks on atiif roof is almost sure, to lireak h les in it and rauae a leak. But did yon ever in into a crowd of a doz en boys thus amusing thennelvs and find but who threw the stones?

Such a one is bound to hare a warm heart, and teeth not effected with caries. It is a matter Mill vn doubt whether all the peaches arc killed by the freezes of this week. Some iy that the apples are also killed, but it is too early to de termine a question yet so closely wrapped up in buds. Mr3. Bruner Graham was very much , frightened, about 8 o'clock on Wednesday nigh tf by some one tryiug-to effect an en trance in the rear of the house, but fortu nately by the timely arrival of Mr. Gya hain, was scared away. Mr. Burlingame is leaving no stone un turned to complete the Water Works by June the 1st, according to contract. He is now working a large force, aud with favorable weather, will no doubt com plete the job by the time the limit ex pires. The best. indication of a good crop this year, or rather a reckoning, favorabic to the farmer next fall, which myitis a good crop, because the laborer is paid for 1m ! place at this time is to renew acquaintan time, is the fact that less fertilizers have j ces, not on business. He left here as a been sold here this season thau for many years past. It is stated that the Salisbury-Improvement Association will take hold of the matter of establish'. ng a Female Iudus tinal College hem Thisls ait institution that appeals to all public spirited persons, and it is to he hoped that our raonied men will take hold of it with a will.

We reported in our last week's paper, a j destructive almost desolating lire at ! Lumbcrtou and another c.t Tarboro, N. C.,1n this State; and now we have to add to it the destruction of a large part of Ruck Hill, S. C, only a few miles beyond our Scale boundaries. We would suggest that it seems to be a time calling loudly on the police of oui; towns for extraordinary vigilance. It- is fpaite remarkable that so many fires should occur in so short a time iu so small an arrear. Ancient Cariosities. Mr. M. Jj. Ritchie, of Saw P. O., brought to out office on Tuesday tw o ancient curiosities. One of them is an old English coin picked up on ins plan- i tatiou, and bearing the date of 1730. On one side is a head with the inscription: GEORGIVS II REX. Oa the other side is a woman with a crown and the inscrip tion: RRITAN NIA. The other curio has been pronounced, by parties that think they know, to be a 'j pet ri tied finger or toe. It was pieked up by master Junmic Bjstian, near Saw. Noiiee." Communications for publication should i . .... always be accompanied by the name ofl the writer. We have one on luind n-- doubt settle it to their own satisfaction, without regard to any publication made in this paper. Y. M. C. A. Hall. The officers of the Young Men's Chris tian Association have secured the hall over C. F. Baker & C .' tinware store, and will proceed to fit it up in good stylo for their permanent use.

Business meeting to-night in the new hall. All the members, and all who desire to join, are asked to attend. Mr. S. A. L. Johnson. This gentleman, a native- of this place, but for some years employed in Baltimore, paid us a visit Monday last. He is travel ing as salesman for the large ready made clothing and furnishing house of A. Eaer Jc Bros., of Baltimore, aud their branch house in Lynchburg.

The wood work, such as doors, window frames and sash, has never been repainted, on many of the stores, since they were hand ed over to the owners new. Neither ha the brick been painted, rubbed, or re penciled, and the observing visitor and stranger could hardly be convinced that a spirit of progress and enterprise now nort arlc thi town nft neglected brock of building! Attention is called to this particularly mucu needfed repair, with the hope that the owners may be induced to improve, Ut a small cost, the appearance of the pride of Salisbury. This is an age im- provemeut, aud men who disregard the age in which they live must expect to be left behind. The number of old, out of style, buildings in Salisbury now is sufficient to impress unfavorably the strangers who are in our town every day many of them looking around with the view of locating. Let those of our citizens, who have the means to do so, improve their residences and busidess houses, by remodeling, repuinting etc., and may this year of 18H7 be uoted for adding to the appearance of the town. By so doing we may expect many, from the tide of emigration now tending South ward, to cast their lots among us.. A move of thU kind on the part of the property holders will cause improvements to be made in keeping with the surround ings, and our public works, provided, Ijudginout is displayed in selecting men of business attainments to place at the head of public ailairs in Salisbury. This sulijcct should begin to claim seri ous attention from every well wisher of our town, without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. Hiis Eumple in Boston. The many friends of this accomplished daughter of the Old North State, will be pleased to learn that she has been more than successful iu Boston that great ceutcr of jrulture, art and music She vvcut there a short time ago to give her graduating concert. This concert was given in Sleeper Hall, New England Con servatory of Music. She was assisted by Miss Fiu!ayTson, au eminent vocalist, who, however, only appeared on the pro gramme twice during the evening. Miss Rumple played entirely from memory and her recital embraced the finest music of the most gifted authors. That she is eminent as a pianist will become evident with the perusal of this versatile pro gramme. It embraced twelve variations on a Russian dance, Beethoven; Ballade, E-dat minor, tVieniawski; Toccata, A-ilat,4 Sgamhatti; Sonata, in B-minor, in sc era concerted movements, Liszt, and ''Lea Patineurs,? a grand fautaisic on themes lrom Meyerbeer's "Le Prophete' Lizl. Among the many flattering notices ap pearing in the Boston press of this cou cert, is this frorn the Boston Home Journal: "There is in Miss Rumple's work that fervor and abandon indicative of the true artist; she plays with ex quistc expression, and the light, rapid passages which appear in the Liszt Somite and the Toccata, were marvels oi delicacy and grace. Her long pianissimo runs were perfectly smooth aud even, and her entire performacc showed remarkable proficiency." Besides the concert above, Miss Rum ple appeared on the program me of the re ception tendered the masters of the Bus ton pubiic: schools, on the 7th of March; on the 11th of March she appeared in a bensfit concert in Temple Opera House, Elizabeth, N. J. Then again in Stein ert Hall, Boston, she appeared on the loth inst. It thus appears that our North Carolina artist is being very generally recognized in the cultured North. It is greatly to her praise, and her friends re jotcelat her success. Indeed, Salisbury has special reason to be proud of hciuji the home of this gifted 'adv. Democratic Convention. READ THE NOTICE AND THEN ATTEND TUB MEETING. All Democratic citizens of the town of Salisbury will please take notice that a convent ion for the purpose ofnominating a Democratic municipal ticket will be held at Mcroney's Hall on the evening of the last day of March, 1887.

E. of London, Mr. Wm Eng., has succeeded in intei ber of English capitalists in the quartz vein mine of Stanly county. The pro pert ies alluded to are the "Biles" and 'Parker" mines. The former has been operated for about a year on a small scale, and has been made remunerative during most of that time. The ore is free milling free gold ia milky quartz and is taken from veins, which have npj, how ever, been worked ko any great depth. This vein material closely resembles the "float" quarts on the adjacent "placer grounds; in fact, the whole territory is filled with veins and "strings" of quartz, most of which is srold bearing. Much of this is of sufficient grade to pay for work iug, but the cost of; collecting it is so great as to preclude general work; only the richer parts were takeh'in the past. The Parker property is a well known placer mine, and hais aTecord for produc tion. Lately it has been enjoying an en forced idleness, because of litigation, which 1ms beeu an effectual barrier agaiust the introduction of capital for ita improvement. The trouble" lay in the settlement of the old estater the heirs having an exaggerated conception of the value of the property. Fortunately Mr Nance has succeeded in gaining tromrtion consent, and is proceeding with a perfect understanding with all interested parties He is engaged in making a thorough in vestigation, and will, present an elaborate report before the London syndicate for their consideration and guidance. The conditions of this preliminary work are such as to make a transfer of the proper ty imperative, should the examination prove the claims of the ownersto be true. There is but little room for doubt on this score, since the record of production of both mines has beeu flatteriugin the past. s THE PROP08ED WORK. This report is to embrace- phins for working the property. The leading question is how to secure an adequate water supply. Iu order to obtain this esseutial in abundance recourse . must be had to the Yadkin river, which is four miles distant. A large and powerful plant of pumping engines aud suitable iron piping will be necessary to raise the water to sufficient height to be effective in sluicing the surface. The quartz from both the washing and the small veins (exposed by washing the surface) will be carefully gathered in dumps, and reserved for milling purposes, while the smaller stud" will go through a -series of sluices. ' There are three leading veins on the property, on all of which shafts are to be sunk to a reasonable depth in order to estimate the probable ore supply. The mill will be built iu accordance with the amount of ore found by this- careftd in vestigation. There will be no question as to quantity, but. more attention will be given the question of average aurifer ous contents. There is no question as to value near the surface, but the ground has to be proven in depth. The outlook is favorable, and the contemplated invest ment may be made at no distant day. THE PHOENIX MINE AGAIN. Reference a. had in a recent number of the Watchman to the Phoeuix mine, in Cabarrus county. Other reliable and interesting data has been gathered siuce. The properly embraces 62& acres of land, part of it iu timber. The vein, which is two and a half feet thick, is a true fissure, in diorite, and is remarkable for its uni formity; the formation is Laurentian and is cut by the usual trap dykes. The value oi' the ore increases as depth is at taincd i. e. the average value of the ore is greater at 300 than at 100 feet. Tiie main shaft is oGO feet, and is being sunk tv greater depth. The levels in the mine are 100 feet apart and extend laterally irom li00 to 500 feet east and west of the working shaft. The estimated quantity of ore in sight is teu thousand tons, and the average value of the material is $18 per ton. That makes an easy calculation. The buildings are of the most substan tial character and include a breaker and mill house, with room for concentrators; a furnace house, covering four rotating ore roasters, and a chlorinating Jiouse, with filter and tank room. -iThe machin ery is first class and embraces one 0 and one 35-horsc engine; .one air compressor with Rand drills; a I en -horse chlorina ting engine; four steam pumps, and four chloriuators. ...... The work is under the very careful superintendence of Mr. Av-Thjss, M. E., who employs an average of .'forty hands. King's Danhtert.
