Two of Salisbnry's young hopefuls who went fishing Monday without their parents consent certainly did catch something, but they caught it alter they got back. It will be seen in another part of this paper that Mr. E. B. Xeave will have op position for the office of Mayor in! the person of John A. Ramsay, Esq. An inefficient town council means just now to Salisbury, embarrassment. Vote for the old Board and no fears as to good entertained. - G. W. Kirby, who was injured on the W. N. C. railr. ad last summer in a wreck near Round Knob, left Monday night for Richmond to lie examined by the Richmond and Danville surgeon. A round bomb shell, such as were manufactured here during the war, yfas found by the water works diggers, in Brooklyn, the site of the old garrison. It should be kept as a war relic. Prof. W. H. Xeave, the well kndwn musician of thisity, has composed three pieces of music specially for the enter tainment to be given in a short time by the Apollo Club of Statoville. part of north ward, is supposed to be caused from the recent establishing of tish ponds in or near that vicinity. D is the duty of the health officer to investi gate .this. Messrs Foard & Bice have received their machinery for manufacturing smoking to b.jfcco. They will manufacture the Bar .tiioldi and Tar Heel hjrands. Their capacity is from six to eight hundred pounds a day, uihI they will begin work within a week. After nine o'clock Monday: a turn-out could not be had at any of thetables for love or moneyl A party went to St. John's mill ou the river, others jotfrheyed sixteen miles to "'The Shoals" on South Uivcr. Dunn's mountain was also visited hv sonio not foVfPRttinff to take in the; plant for the water works. Monday noon when- Mr. Swiuk went into his tobacco warehouse from dinnler, he was surprised to foul the building full of smoke. On investigating he found that a party of little boys and girls, of agesranging from three to seven" years, had gathered straw and wood avid had built afire against'one of the stalls under the house, and the flames had started up "the stall, and in all probability the build ing would have been in flames in ten minutes had lie not returned. There is an opening here -for a coal yard. A great many or our citizens are using coal altogether, aud not being ex perienced they fail to lay in a sufficient supply in the fall to last through the win ter and early spring. or a mouth now borrowing between neighbors has beeu going on, and yet the supply is inade quate to meet the demand.- A regular eoal yard should le established to supply the demand when-called for. The Salisbury Improvement Associa tion propose to sol iet a tobacco manufac turing company of Hickory to cbme to this place and set up for business.- We wish them success; but it is interesting to note in this connection that Statesvillte is ofTer--ing a liberal inducement to Messrs. Rob ertson & Miller, reentry hurt out here, jo come to that place to renew their labors i the manufacture of plug tobacco. It is desirable to retain the latter firm and "ring in others also, but especially to ' "hold our own"' in such movements. -- , " Magistrates Summons. The latest and most approved form, beautifully printed and for sale at 'this op.ee. ' Death of Mr. Woodhouse. It is Uvith regret that wcannoui.ee the eaui oj ('apt. John Woodhouse, editor t the Concord Betfittrr. atr his home, in tWord, Tuesday last. He died of m apoplexy, having received the stroke about 2 o clook thai morning, surviving t about 12 hours, during which time lie Waa unconscious, r Dr. Snead, We regret to announce, after a short residence with us, has returned to Vir ginia, his native State, and settled at Lynchburg. During the Doctor's brief sojourn in this place he came into a large practice; but the greater part of it was in the country, and required heavier labor and more exposure than he could safely endure, being subject to occasional at tacks of raflamatory rheumatism. He and his family made many warm friends here, who reluctantly gave them up. An Elegant Turnout. Mr. John Heilig had out on the streets yesterday, his elegant Tildeu car riage, to which were harnessed two splendid dapple grays. Harness, carriage, horses and all making up the finest estab lishment ever on our streets not gaudy, but elegant. The luxurious sea tings and graceful swing of the. carriage on C springs, could not be more comfortable or inviting to repose. It is the very thing for a wedding party, its rose tinted finish reflecting, the happiest thoughts for such an occasion. Concord Presbytery. One of the most pleasant meetings of this body of Christians, commenced its sessions in this place last Thursday night Liu the Presbyterian church. Rev. Wm. Pharr was elected Moderator, who, we are glad to say, appeared in better health than usual. The attend ance was about an average. - Little else than an organization was done Thursday nignt. lne work ot tne session was fairly entered upon next day, and this was mainly routine. We shall not at tempt to report it. There was no subject of more than ordinary interest to engage attention. The sessions were interspersed with religious services every morniug at 11 o'clock, and at night at 8; and -the attendance of citizens ou these occasions was good. The sermons delivered were excellent, refreshing the christian people who heard them, aud admonishing those out of Christ to prepare to meet their God. The praise service was also of an excellent character and attendants joined in it with the sincerity of a real enjoy ment. Mr. J. W. Greenlee of McDowell county, N. C, applied for liscense to preach the Gospel, and after due examination he was ordained, Saturday night. Most of the clerical members of the Presbytery remained over Sunday, ami some of them were invited to occupy the pulpits of other denominations in town. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Morgan ton, preached in the Methodist church, in the forenoon; and the Rev. Mr. Arrowood, preached in the Baptist church. This gentleman also preached in the colored Presbyterian church at night; and the Rev. Mr. McClelland preached at the Lutheran church at night. The communion services at the Presby terian church were largely attended. Sermon by Rev. Wm. Pharr,the Modera tor of Presbytery. Sermon at night by Rev. Mr. Murray. The usual exeroises at tlie Presbyterian Sunday school last Sunday afternoon were varied with Bible presentation, ad dresses, &c, were of an exceedingly in teresting character. Some months ago the superintendents and teachers in order to stimulate the scholars to diligent study of the catechisms, offered, as a prize, a handsome bible to every one who would commit to memory the whole of the Shorter Catechism. The proposal was a happy one and resulted in the perfect re cital of the Shorter Catechism on the part of twenty-nine scholars, and of the Child's Catechism on the part of two scholars. Rev. Dr. Anderson of Morgan ton , by request, made the presentation. He delivered a brief address in his own felicitous style, mak ing a good impression. The happy children with eager gaze upon the speak er and rapt attention, were ranged on either side of the pulpit; and as their names were called, and the coveted Bibles were placed in their hands, no one for the time remembered the hartLmental labor required to master the alloted task, but complete happiness filled every heart and was plainly depicted on every coun tenance. After the Bible presentation, Rev. Mr. Murray, a gifted young Presby terian minister delivered an earnest and glowing" address to the school. All pres ent, including many heads of families, felt their hearts moved with calm joy and devout gratitude for the delightful privi lege accorded them. The service of song was largely observed during the hour, and the united voices of the children and of the older ones", attested the genuine ness of the interest and delight experi enced on the occasion. Among the most important acts of the Presbytery, was that requiring each min ister to spend at least one month during the summer in missionary work, subject to the directions of the home missionary committee. This it is hoped will carry the Gospel into many a destitute commu nity, and the good seed sown left to spring up. The crop will-come in the good time of the master. Presbytery concluded its labors about 12 o'clock Monday. -mom Salisbury Improvement Association. The Salisbury Improvement Associa tion met iu the Mayor's office the 7th i nst., at 8 o'clock P. if., with the first Vice-President, K. B. Xeave, In the chair. R. G.

On motion, a committee of three was appointed to investigate the subject of tanneries and report at the next meeting. Committee Capt. Ramsay, T. P. Johns ton, C. G. Viele. Xo other business appearing the Asso ciation adjourned to the first Thursday night in May. E. B. Xeave, Chairman. R. G. Kker, Sec. pro. tem. REPORT. The undersigned committee, appointed (at the regular meeting of the Salisbury Improvement Association held for the month of February) to ascertain the ex tent of the furniture business in the city of Salisbury; having made diligent en quiry of the different dealers in that line, do report the following as being "about" the operations of the last twelve months, viz : J. A. Clodfelter manufactured none. Purchases from other markets about $ 8,000 Sales all told about, 10,000 R. M. Davis manufactured about 2,000 Purchases from other markets about Sales all told about 3,000 5,000 Julian and Fraley manufactured about Purchases from other markets about Total sales about L. Mclntyre manufactured 2,000 1,000 4,000 M a' o-.it 2,0GD l,o00 4,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 500 1,500 Purchases from other markets Total sales about W. II. Willis manufactured about Sales about Meronev fe Bro. manufactured (Working only occasionally) Purchased Sold and took to own use Polal amount manufactured here $ S,000 Total amount purchased of other cities 14.000 fotal amount sold on this market 25,500 Your committee are assured further that in consequence of the lack of suffi cient variety in the furniture line on this market, a trade, equally as large, if not larger than this report embraces, has gone from this city to others, and con sidering the fact that Rowan county has in her forests large quantities of the most popular bawl woods, such U S Wit hint. maple, ash." yellow poplar, and every variety of oak and gum: with saw mills in operation in every direction furnishing this lumber at prices less than are now being paid in any other markets in the L nited States we natural! v conclude that an extensive and well organized Furni ture Factory here would not only Vastly increase our local trade iu that line, but must command a larc natronaae from abroad, and make fair if not hand some returns to the proprietors, the cost of living here, the price and abund ance of good laborers, good water, moder ate climate. low taxes, faithfully executed laws, besides the advantages of schools and churches of all denominations, all combine to assure the party who will un dertake such an enterprise1. W. Smithdeal. P. P. Mkronly, J. R. Kenn, Committee. Fur the Watchman. Mr. Editor : We don't suppose it is of much interest to the public to know whether the "Saw" is running, but to those who hope for an uprising, or those who prophesy a downfall, it may be. One of Saw's sons was honored with a call to assist in letting the "western evening light" into our 'neighboring village, be laying off the sixth public high way, which will elevate the place a little, and aid "Saw at us again" in bis astronomical ob servations. The farmers arc busily engaged in farm work generally, breaking, bedding, plant ing, &c. 1 he cold wave has killed most of the fruit in this section. The buds are put ting forth, and, if the line weather con tinues, the forest will soon be wrapped in its slimmer foliage. Mr. II. M'. Leuzcr will soon move bis plainer to Mill Bridge, where lie will com plete a residence for Mr. J. X. CorrclJ, which will cap the climax for the place. Wheat, in. good laud, looks-well. Oats was damaged by cold weather. Mr. M. L. Ritchie, Saw's "curiosity collector," has gathered up another ancient coin, ploughed up from the soil. It is a Spanish coin and bears the date 1770. The inscription is somewhat oblit erated. He will present it to the Editor. Saw Handle Xo. 2. To th3 Voters of Salisbury an! Brook lyn I respectfully announce myself as can didate for Mayor, aud if elected will give my best attention to the duties of said office. I have; he'd the office for four years, and with past experience, hope to make an cfficenl officer. J3:in A. Ramsay, MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BUrXKTi EDITOB, RALEIGH, If . HO. Bij Survey and Other Lands. The agent of Messrs. Broason, Hoy t & Mclntyre, the owners of the "Big Survey" and other lands, in the Western counties of North Carolina, amounting to about one hundred thousand acres, states that it is the intention of the company to de velope these lands. They propose to do so by introducing a desirable class of im migrants, who will be encouraged in im proving soils and in the cultivation of fruits and grasses; by putting up saw mills and getting out timber, and by de veloping the various mineral deposits found ou the lands. This great work is to be undertaken in a systematic way and on a large scale. The company think this is entirely feasible under the improv ed industrial condition of the South, and intend to show their faith in works dur ing the spring and summer. OBMOXD OBE BANK. The Ormond Ore Bank, or more pro perly speaking, the Ormond Ore veiu, is in Gaston county, and is from eight to fifteen feet thick. The ore is a mangani ferous, hydrated hematite tnrgite and is sufficiently pure tobe used in tho manufacture of spieglelseu, which is uped in the manufacture of st eel by the Bes semer process. This ore is being, mined and shipped to Pittsburg1; Pa; There is an abundance of that class of ore in Gas ton, and it bids fair to become an im portant industry as its worth becomes known. ; FISH EE HILL MINE. It is currently reported that the Fisher Hill mine, near Greensboro, in Guilford county, is paying, or at least producing fairly. They have a ten stamp mill aud other necessary machinery. A recent ten day run yielded seventy ounces, which amounts to more than one thou sand dollars iu value. The bullion is sent to the Philadelphia mint. There are about 800 acres in the property. The vein lies rather flat and has beeu worked to a depth of 120 feet, and about 200 feet, in lateral extent, has been worked in the bottom level. The vein is of varying thickness, sometimes pinching to ten inches and swelling again to four and six feet. The material is brown ore and sulpherets, the former free milling. MINOR MENTION. The Genesse (Steele) in Montgomery county, is running right along with 20 stamp mill. They are reported as mak ing money, but no official information can be had as tothe figures. This is the pro perty in which the Safe cure man, Dr. Warner, of Rochester, X. Y., is interest ed. The ore is of a complex character and has been considered difficult to treat. The Ophir mine, also in Montgomery county, and near the Bright and other mines, is to be equipped this spring. They have a large body of low grade, soft talco-slate ore, which may 'be regard ed as free milling.' Like all of the low grade slate ores of that territory, it will require careful management and work on a large scale to make it profitable. The Cagle gold mine, in Moore county, will resume work this spring. Messrs. Miller & Crowell, of this place, have been exploring on, the Jake Fisher lands iu Cabarrus county, and with some success. They have found an auriferous vein which is rich on the surface. They are preparing to prove it in depth. Finery. Millinery and Jewelry are the most at tractive to the fair of all things else, ex cept a handsome beau, to whose attraction the former are subordinated. It is amusing to see how the iadies-cspecially the youny ones do flit about the places where beau tiful adornments are to be obtained. The Stores of Meroney, Holmes, the Racket, Kluttz & Rend I cm an, and Mrs. Barker, arc some of the places frequented; and it is enough to make au old batchelor happy to stand near a counter where are they inspect ing quality and bcautv! lie would see at once how great vexations and expenses he had escaped from by standing alone in the world. He would see too, how Jim, and Jack, and other companions of his early lilt who married, had played the fool and got themselves in a scrape from which there was no escape. And these feelings would be intensified if he should happen at Mrs. Barker's, where finery is put Hp in such be witching, bewildering beauty, even excel ling the beautiful flow ers lie tmds along the river banks, where his solitary'lifc is mostly spent when the weather wilt permit. But if he should happen to hear a pretty little woman behind the counter say, a gown can be made in the latest prescribed fashion at prices ranging from $a to $4, the latter price for those of the Tailor style, he would whistle as he hastily emerged from the do ir Jewhili kim! now I know Jim played the fool win n he got married, and has now a houseful ol giris to keep up in the fashions. But alter his first surp.Les wore off a little, and be got to sober reflection again in his cheer less quarters, he would be apt to say to himself, ah! well, it don't matter much alter all if having a family is rather costh: for we can't carry any in re out of .be world than we brought into it. Besides, life i short and it had better be brilliant and pleasing while it lasts than gloomy, selfish ami sad. It is however, a comfort ing fact that the cost of finery and style iu old Salisbury is below the rates which pre vail in more pretentious citus. Our pcop'e have struck a more sensible mean, and my rule is, to put sense in the lead and let folly wiggle alng iu the rear. Bless' the girls silly things and the Ims who run after them and the milliners and drc.s makers who do so much to fix up the girls so "takingly." Mild, soothing and healing is Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, ELECTION NOTICE. The qualified voters of the town of Salisbury are hereby notified that an elec tion will be held in the several Wards of the town on Monday, May 2d, 1887, for the purpose of electing a Mayor and eight Commissioners, to serve two years, end ing May, 1889.
