A great many coal cars are being re ceived on the Y. N. C. road to be loaded with coa!. Sportsmen are keeping their hands in by shooting at "bull bats"' late in the afternoon. Prof W. H. Xeave has been confined to his house for a week by a severe bron chal attack. Mr. lledrick is making an attractive Btore robm out of the room formerly oc cupied by K. M. Davis. W. R- Misenheimer, one of the wheat fircshers of Rowan, reports the follow j8g : Wheat, 4,105; oats, 2,700. The price of corn in North Carolina fthonld never fall below 50 cts. per bushel, but present indications point to a lower figure. Caubel & Co.. wheat threshers in Rown, report Business has been a little slow this week, except in truck trading. Persons who wish to buy goods at low prices could not come to town at abetter time. The lateness of the season and the near approach of Fall make merchants eager to sell even at cost, many of the goods which mustsoou give place to new stocks. In an affray between two negro waiters at Connelly Springs last week, a rock was thrown which accidentally struck Mrs. Sarah J. Halliburton on the side of the head and face knocking her senseless. It was thought at first that she was dan gerously hurt, but last report says that she is doing very well. The negro who threw the rock is in jail at Morganton. Mr. T. A. Lyon, an active worker in the Interest of Tobacco raisers, is now iu this county collecting material to be worked up in a pamphlet for the use of raisers of the "weed" in Rowau. He will solicit advertising to fill several pages of the book, and so identify it with the general business of this community as he has Jone for Davidson, Guilford and other counties. Howie Mine. This property, in Union county, is showing up splendidly. The Bull Face shaft is producing very fine ore and there is a large quantity of it. The Wise well mill has been tried with both soft and hard ore. The capacity for soft ore is about one ton per hour, for the hard ore the full capacity has not yet been tested. The ore is very hard and rich, and Mr. Reeve is experimenting to ascertain the best way to work the ore to save the gold. He began by running very slow, atid is gradually increasing the speed and carefully noting practical results. The time is not far distant when the Howie will be one of the large producing mines of the State. ' MINING, DEPARTMENT. T. K. BR UN BR EDITOR. RALEIGH, H. C.

A good ap pointment. The alarm on Monday night threw the telephone wire down across the street. Very dangerous for buggies, &c, passing during night. Our suggestion concerning the building of a market house. ..made a short lime i go, aeets the approval of the eitiwus gener ally. Let it be built this Fall. Salisbury Was represented at the big railroad meeting at Charlotte last week in the person of Mayor Neave, Theo, F. Khittz, Esq., L IL Fousi and others. Mr. Hill's seletl school for boy, it will be seen elsewhere ia this paper, opens Jsept. ."tb. Mr. II. is well known here and needs no commendation ro..i us. The Masonic pic-nic held at Mocks ville last week, for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum at Oxford, was Largely attended, and the proceeds satisfactory. Masters Hermauand Paul Heilig, sons of our popular townsman Jno. G. Heilig, returned from Wilmington oa Tuesday nightwhere they have been spending sometime with relatives. There is no market in the State, that, Cor an -abundance of things to subsist spon, will exeel ours. We have every thing, of every kind that other people hive, and more besides. Mr. Alex. Kluttz, of Monroe, lost his youngest son (10 mouths old) with dysen tery, on Monday. Mr. Kluttz was reared iu Salisbury and has many friends here who sympathize with him iu his bereave-tteut. President Cleveland will pass this way en route to Atlanta in October. We would like for the old man to stop over and see a-body for a few days, or even a week . He would be welcome. But, of course. he will stay no longer than the cars stopi at the depot, and we will have to content ourselves with seeing him fly past us. We have never heard a soul say he would vote against Cleveland again since he was inagu rated March, 1885. Richard Whitehead, the youngest son of the late Dr. Marsellus Whitehead, re turned irom the University of Virginia a few days ago, where he has been taking a course in medicine, preparatory to en tering the University of Pennsylvania He completed the course at the Univer sity of Virginia in one year, something remarkable and unusual, and now has me nue oi m. n. auccessio tne young man. The thirteenth annual session of the Southern Dental Association will meet at Old Point Comfort Virginia on the 30th inst. The membership of this association is composed of the representative men in the Dental profession in the Southern States. Dr. J. F. Griffith of Salisbury is a member -of this organization and will attend the meeting at Old Point. Six hundred Dentists from Maryland to Tex as, besides a large number of visiting brethren from the North, will be present. Professors Moses of Raleigh and Nobles of Wilmington who have had charge of the Teachers Institute at this place, clos ed their labors on Friday and left for their homes on Saturday night. As in structors, we suppose they have no supe riors in the State. By their affable manners and zeal in giving instruction, they have endeared themselves to the teachers of Rowan, and will receive a hearty welcome should they ever come among us again. Stoncmau's raiders did much mischief lor the short while they were in town, but at no plaee, perhaps, did they more serious work than at the Clerk's office. They tore down and mixed the papers on file in the office to such an extent that thetroub'e is still an annoyance, and great loss of time sometimes occurs in hunting out from the confused mass pa pers of an important nature. Wc can sympathise heartily with the clerk after -spending the best part of eighteen mouths in pulling to rights a big pi they made for us. As evidence- of how much depends on personality ia business affairs it may be mentioned that Messrs. Julian & Watson opened a mercantile house under this of fice in the .spring, in a room that had hitherto been regarded as "too far out of the way" to warrant success. Before they had shelved their stock trade com menced, and has rapidly increased unti their stand has become one of the most popular places in town, and they are constantly on the run to wait on cus tomers. They draw from the Main street numerous visitors to trade on Fisher. We believe our system of water works to be the best extant. Every thing thus far ;oes to prove the wisdom of the selection. which was done after due deliberation and a careful examination of t be various st- now being offered to neighboring towns. A. supply of water such as we have here in Salisbury is a convenience, saying nothing 1 A. A. . ., . aoouc ii as a are cxunguisner, tnat none but those uh have it can appreciate. There is one objection to the water works. however, that pothiny but a system of sew erage, ana a iuorou;;ii one at that, can "M" A. . overcome, jso town or community can expect to be healthy with thousands of gal lons of wa-h water standing in pools about the locality. Something must be done here in Salisbury oa the line of adequate sewer age, and our faith in thase who are at the head of affairs in this town warrants us in making, the statement that these things wilt be attended to in due time. Enterprising; Spirit. The management of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, with headquar ters at Greensboro; will collect and place on permanent exhibit a complete collec tion of the varied resources along their en tire line of road. They have a room over their offices in Greensboro, 40 by 40 feet, and into this they will arrange the dis play. The road begius at Bennettsville, Marlboro county, S. C, and runs to Fay- etteville, thence via Sanford to Greens boro and northward toward Mt. Airy. It will thus be seen that it travels across the geological formations of the State, and fn nathis way comes in contact with a great variety of mineral and timber resources. The geological formations traversed are as follows: In the eastern counties of Richmond, Robinson, Cumberland and Harnet, Post Pliocene, or Quaternary; in Moore and Chatham, Triassic with coal and Huronian; in Randolph, Guilford, The "Kinc of Puuaa" will be in Salis bury, Aug 18th.

Extract of a letter to the Watchman : 1 Blowing Rock, N. C, Aug. 15, 1887. jr. Brvner: Dear sir: Blowing Rock is enjoying a big " joom"' this summer, and old Salisbury is well represented. I have not the time, nor you the space, to tell of all the improvements that are going on here. Undoubtedly it is the place to recuperate. Very, truly yours, H. "Ye; I shall break the engagement," she said, folding her arms and looking defiant; ft is really too much trouble to converse with him : he's as di-af as a post, and talks like he had a mouthful of mush.

In Rowan county, on the 11th of Aug., 1887, Mr. A. M. Preepst and Miss Maggie Kluttz. CHEAP! Death of John Sheppard. The community was shocked at the intelligence of the unexpected death of Mr. John Sheppard which occurred at his home on Tuesday evening at seven o'clock." It was known that Mr. Shep pard had been confined to his room for a week or more with typhoid fever; but was not considered dangerous, until Tuesday morniug when he began to col lapse and gradually grew worse till the end came. Mr. Sheppard came to Salisbury from Winston in January 1883, and identified himself with the tobacco interest here in its incipiency. He was auctioneer and business manager of the first warehouse establiscd here, under the name of Kluttz' Tobacco Warehouse. The rapid growth of trade and the establishment of a permanent market is attributed to a great extent, to the superior judgment and untiring energy displayed by Mr. Shep pard. For two years he was employed as auctioneer at the Farmer's Warehouse and later was associated with Hankins & Bio's in the Iron Clad Warehouse He leaves a wife and two children to mourn bis loss, and the sympathies of the entire community go out for the be reaved wife and fatherless children. The remains were taken to Winston for ii tcrmeut. CHEAPER !! CHEAPEST Stokes and Surry, Huronian, Laurentian him to take Dr. Saye's Catarrh Remedy. It and Triassic.

These will be looked after and specimens of each gotten out and placed where they may be seen. Then we turn to the minerals which are metalliferous and find that there are ores of iron, gold, silver and copper. By I counties; in Chatham : hematite, magne tite, galenite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, cup rite, ehrysocolla, azurite, cerussite, sider- ite, gold and bituminous coal.

Then take up the forests, the flora a herbarium of unusual interest could be gathered; the agricultural products; the products ol the various factories in operation alonj. the line, &c, &c This movement is in the right direc- K( POllVlPCGll tiou; it snows a spirit ot progress which means much for the development of in dustries and natural resources along the line of that road. It is more than proba ble that they will keep one man's time constantly engaged in working up this vast field. If properly done it will be of untold value to the road and to the peo pie living along the line, it is perma nent work and the kind that will tell iu Dr. John Whitehead has been indis posed for several days to the extent of heiflg unable to attend to his practice. When sickuess attacks a good doctor the community considers it a calamity, and justly so. The tobacco manufacturers here are ever-run with orders for goods, and iu order to supply the demand, for Salisbury tobacco, the working capacity of all the factories will be largely increased before another season begins. The money that has been realized in . .. franklin township, from the sale of watermelons, can te loupes, roasting-ears, beans and other vegetables, brought to fcaiket here, will more than pay the taxes for 1S87 in that township.

But wheu you add to this Win. Brown's little Du'elimen, and Baker & X cave's muscu lar Sprinkle, hammering on sti lbs, in close proximity, the noise becomes awful in volume and more tormenting than a bombardment. We are situated between these tormentors, and under the din created by them from sCven in the morn ing until six in the evening. It is good for them that wishing is a fool's trade, or we would send them where is Davy Jones' lock up, anyhow ? Judge Clark, who will preside at our next court, is somewhat peculiar iu his manner of conducting , the business of court. lie requires parties to a suit, for instance, witnesses, Ac, to be present in the Court room when the case is called, and will have no sending out to hunt up a man, nor calling from the window. No bawling out, come into court as you're bound to do thisday,"&c. Parties concerned bad better be ou their ps and qs, or the Judge may surprise them with an order not very pleasant to obey. We learn that some such strict atten tion to business ou the part of those hav ing business iu court is really needed, in this county, as a means of facilitating business. The Judge has the credit of great patience to hear a case out, but none Car a needless waste of time. y Great Crowd. Last Saturday was a very crowded day in this place. Back lots were crowd ed with wagons, buggies, carriages and horses nearly all day; and the streets were thronged with people. Suburban Properties. We think there arc few towns in the State which have more beautiful subur ban properties than Salisbury. Co out in almost any direction and there may be seen beautiful building lots which at this season of the year, are covered with luxu riant crops of grass, cotton or corn, or else beautiful groves of trees of the various native varieties. And almost any o these lands can be bought at reasonable prices by those who wish to settle on and improve them. We enjoyed Monday evening last a fly around the western part of town, where perhaps the most beautiful and choice properties of the kind are spread out Going-out on the old Concord road, we pass several pretty lots before reaching the magnificent property of Mr. S. R. Harrison, just beyoud the city limits. His large brick residence with ten rooms and other convenient apartments, is sit uated in a beautiful lawn shaded by noble trees, and is a gem of a residence rarely excelled in the varied appoint ments going to make up a most desirable home. The water at this place is most delightful, needing no ice to cool it or foreign extracts to flavor it. The garden and out-houses are well Jcept and iu fine condition. We saw here the largest and most extraordinary growth of cotton ever seen in the State. The stalks stand from 2 to 4 feet apart in the row and the rows about 4 feet apart. Much of it is five feet high, and some of it seven. It is fruiting splendidly from bottom to top, and some plants bid fair to run up boles in the hundreds. Mr. H. has raised stalks with 400 boles. Well, this fine property is for sale. Mr. Harrison's family is now so small that they cannot fill so large a dwelling, nor do they need a property of such large provisions. Any one with the means and desiring to se cure one of the best homes in the State should call and soe it. No outlay for repairs will be required. But in connection with his home place Mr. Harrison owns a large body of land lying along two roads and capable of any number of subdivisions into building lots, most desirable in respect to location. Indeed, they constitute in large part, the suburban properties alluded to in the be ginning of this article. But we must add to them the beautiful building lots of A. L. Johnston, M. L. Beau, a little nearer town; and those of M. L. Holmes and P. N. Heilig, nearer still, and fronting on Fulton street. No more desirable lots can be found for residences, being remov ed from the noise and other annoyances of town, and yet near enough for con venience.

Phillips, of the University, has gone into the Daubury district and will spend some time there exploring that region for various minerals, lie is one of the best experts in the country, a careful observer and an untiring worker. His visit will be productive of good. Mr. Eure, of Henderson, has ten bands at work taking out zircons. That coun ty is the richest field for zircons in the State.

Other work of similar character is being done by Mr. J. G. Cotton and Mrs. Smith. Each of these report favora ble results.
