It probably demonstrates the fact that we have failed to encourage his scheme as we should, affis a timely warning to the "doubters" hereabouts. If there is a possibility of getting this Hue of road, our people should exert every possible means to that end; there is room for four Or five roads leading to this point and every prospect io secure one should be hearti ly encouraged. Here is the letter: "I am glad to say that- Biiluimer has again heen heard from. Mr. tells me that he and two others were in town yesterday and assert positively that all the money needed for building t he South port and Bristol Bailroad has been pro cured and that the Road will certainly lie built aud that. soon, that the company has purchased all the port f South port, paying $100,000 for the property; that the Road is to extend to Cumberland Gap. Salisbury should not turn the cold shoulder to this enterprise as it would place her much nearer the sea than any other Road." tended to be lat Mr. Hamoly is connected with the TjolJ Hill properly.

Mr. Henry Harvey, a miner of experi ence, in charge at GdJ-Hill, does not wish it understood tout Mr. Hambly has anything to do with the present manage ment of that properly. From Mr. Harvey it is learned that the Barn'nardt shaft has been forked, and that the work of sinking the shaft will be begun within the next two weeks. Forking the water from this shaft is a big job, and was accomplished in six weeks, four days and twelve hours. Heretofore five or six mouths were re quired to accomplish it.

She waa left a widow in F-b. 18 :6 with three chil dren tn support and iraio ; and although the bar Jen ras heavy and the responsibtltr great, she accepted and bore it with meekness, trust ing on the promises of God's Worn for support. Her means and strength were small, but her faith was firm, and succes crowned her efforts at last, and she lived to see a fulfilment of the precious promises on which she leaned. She was for many years a member of the Methodist E. church an intelligent, earnest christian and having finished her work on earth, has gone to the enjoyment of the Christian's rest. Her remains were brought here for interment and were laid by those of her husband in Oak Grove cemetery to-day. The Circus. Nothing, we are sorry to say draws our peoplelike a circus and last Saturday was no exception. The occasion was the visit of John Robinsons sdiow. Friday evening wagons loaded with people be gan to arrive and all nijibt long and up to ten o'clock in the morning they con tinued to arrive until "the streets were perfectly thronged.

The menagerie was not large in num ber of animals exhibited but there were quite a number of rare animals that are seldom brought to this part of the coun try.. There was a difference of opinion about the circus performance some say ing it Was the b;st they ever saw, while others thought it poor. The attendance was very fair, and lots of money was car ried off" by the show people which might have been better spent iu buying clothes: and provisions for the winter The millinery opening at Van Wycks eemmenced to-day aud will continue un til Saturday morning. If the ladies want lb see something pleasing they should avail themselves of this oportuii itv and see all tho. latest styles in "head gear," from the little, "duck of a bonnet" t0 "Mrs, Langtry's latest," The new milliner is vlery pleasant, and thoroughly Conversant with all branches of her dV Partmeut and will take pleasure in show-Wfotttid. Mr. Stewart, the Winston printer, who eiemiy got " a number of our citizens 1 a small advertising adventnro was o - - j here again ou Saturday, settling up, per Bisjrae-ful. If we had been told a week aaro that a gambler would be allowed to practice bis profession openly all day long on one of our streets we would not have be lieved it, But such was the case. Last Saturday morning two of our po licemen found a gambler operating near the circus grounds and arrested him, but were instructed to turn him loose by the authorities as he had a license. He was let go and practiced his art all day long iu the middle of one of our public streets, and there is no telling how much money he took away with him. We have heard of at least a dozen who lost sums rang ing from fifty to one hundred dollars, and scores, including deacons iu the church, who lost ten dollars and over. After the crowd h i 1 left steps were taken by some who had lost to get their money back, and warrants were issued and sent to Concord, where the circus exhibited on Monday, but the officers failed to find the man they were looking for, and came back Monday night, but were sent to Charlotte the same night to try and get him there, but the officer re ported that he could not be found. This parly was certain iy amenable to the la.v, notwithstanding he heal a li cense for-ru titling a " gift -shell" enter prize," as were every one who gambled with him and it is to be hoped that some one will get on the grand jury this term of court who saw the gam ding done and will make an example of at least some of those who took part in it. We under stand that two or three of our citizens were hired by the fellow as "cappers" to lead others on, receiving pay for their miserable work. We would especially like to see Solicitor Long get hold of them.

Sule of the Connelly Mill and 0 :her Prop ertyAn incident connected 1 Herewith. Last Monday was the day for the sale by tne bondsmen of the J. B. Couuelly residence, on Walnut street next to the Methodist church, the Connelly mill property in Concord township and the Brad well land," 50 acres, adjacent to the mill properly, all of which, has been conveyed by Connelly aud wife to his bondsmen lor their protection. It was announced that the residence would not tie put up. There was a large crowd around the court house door and just before P. Tomlinson, Esq., began crying the sale of the other property, Mr. J. A. ilartness who, with It. Z. Linney has been retained in behalf of Mrs. Couuelly to contest the transfer to tbe bondsmen, produced and read a paper which was in the handwriting of J. B. Connelly and of which the following is a copy : Mrs. C. N. Connelly gives notice that knowu as the Connelly mill; also the Bradwell place, coutai ing 50 acres; and she also claims au interest iu the house and lot in Statesville, adjoining the Meth odist church lot, known as the J. B. Con nelly residence and lot. She claims and hereby gives notice that her signature to the mortgage deed under which sale is uiade was obtained by undue influence and by deception aud traud." Immediately upon the reading of this paper, Hon. Wm. M. Bobbins, who has beeu of counsel for Connelly iu the crim inal cases against him, aud also of coun sel for the boudsmeu, arose and denounc ed it unmeasttredly. He charged that Connelly alone was responsible for the paper; that it indicated a dishonorable purpose, aud he announced that he from henceforth washed his hands of his late client- and should at once write him that he would not further represent him iu the case now pending iu the Supreme Court nor in any other cases. Maj. Rob- He is no doubt in the State yet and wc i bins spoke vehemently and with coufess hop he will be caught and prosecuted. Mrs. Herbert Walser Killed. Lexington, N. C, Oct. 8.

Chicago, Oct. 4. dispatch from Jamboree, Pike county, Ky., says; The Hatfield-McCoy feud has broken out aguin. aud at least three more lives have been sacrificed in the bloody vendetta which has now lasted seven years. The shooting occurred at a marriage at the farm house of Peter McCoy. His daugh ter yvas to become the wife of John Hand, a relative of the Hatfield gang, and members of both factions had sworn to prevent the union. Hand had never been connected with the disputes of the factions and refused to recognize tbe leaders. Tuesday night the bridal party as enabled at McCoy's house, and just as young Hand and Miss McCoy stood be fore the minister, a volley was poured through a window, which killed both of ed agitatiou, and bis remarks madequite a flutter in the crowd. At their conclu sion the sale yvas proceeded with and Mr. Wm. Wallace bought the property (not for the bondsmen) the milt property for $5,000 and the Bradwell place for 1,050 The meaning of the notice quoted is that there is vexatious litigation ahead for the bondsmen. It is quite clear that the ex-clerk has fully made up his mind to attack the mortgage giveu to his bondsmen and to re-possess himself, if possible, of the property which he con veyed to them to reimburse them for their losses ou his account.
