It is very strange that some of our merchauts send off to have their job work done when, they could eet it done at home just as nicely and as cheap. But w e suppose all things are equal in the long run, as the Watchman job office has just contracted for furnishing and pnntmg 40,000 envelopes for a laree Yew York firm. Wo notice in the Wilmington Messen ger a call for a meeting of the stock holders of the South Atlantic and North Western Railroad at Southport on the 12th of February. .Our best wishes go out to. the enterprise with the hope that the road will be built and that Salisbury will be one of the principal points On the line. A part of the "State of Wilkes" came to town last Friday. She was brought here by seven steers, and "fotch ed" with her apples, "taters," cabbage, chestnuts, and two or three jugs con taining a liquid which is sometimes made in that country from corn and known there as ' block," some say it is good to drink if taken in small quantities. Salisbury Cotton Mills. At a meeting of the Directors of the Salisbury Cotton Mills, held last Friday, it was decided to declare a dividend of 5 per cent., -vhich was done at the annual meeting of the stockholders on Monday This is an excellent showing for the first year, when it is taken into consider ation that the hands were "green," the machinery new and stiff, and all the ex tra expenses necessary to starting a new enterprise. It seems to us that in an other year the dividend should be thrib bled, and in all probability it will. It was also decided by the Directors to add .5,000 more spindles in addition to the 3,000 which have just been put in. Thanks, Mr. Banks. Mr. H. A. Banksr the resident axet and correspondent of the Charlotte Chronicle in this place, gets up a very newsy and interesting letter. .111 me cnronicie ot yesteriay ne pays his respect to the Watchman in the following style : NORTH CAROLINA PEALS. In the mineral cabinet of the Watch man Office-are some North Caroliua pearls, found about five miles from Salis ourv, near me ueimer mine. 1 ney are small, ranging 111 size from a pin head to medium sized shot, but they have the true pearly appearance. A HISTORIC CYCLONE. In this cabinet there is a girl's straw hat that was blown 22 miles in a cyclone four years ago. The hat was the proper ty of Miss Anna Lowder, who with her father and bis family lived on the McCoy place, situated on a high bluff in Stanly county. The house was blown entirely away, and the inmates injured. Mrs Lowder, who was sick at the time, died from the effects of wounds and exposure A bureau was found three miles away caught in a fish trap in the Uwharrie river, and a clock was blown four miles The hat was found in Randolph couuty 22 miles from the McCoy place. THE WATCHMAN OFFICE. By the way, the Watchman office is a cabinet per se. It is " rich with the flavor of antiquity." The press is a Washington press, used in Revolutionary days. It has figure heads of Ben franklin and George Washington on the head. It is the same kind of press as was used by the Watch man in the days M befo' de war." The press was then smashed up by Stoueman's raiders during the war. The stove in this office was made at a foundry run by John A. Boyden, before the war. The Watchman was established in 1832 and Editor J. J. Bruner has had charge of it for 50 years. On the walls of the offiee is posted up a sheet of the Chroni cle containing Andrews' Christmas stock ing. They have a fine sense of the in genious up in the Watchman office. Enochville Items. Mr. J. A. Wright is teaching school at Franklin. Mrs. J. N. Plaster is very feeble with consumption. Mrs. H. S. Reynolds has a genuine at tack of la grippe. The town ordinances are postea ana men stand and read. The cold wave was welcomed by those who had hogs to kill. Not one intoxicated person was seen here during the holidays. Mr. A. V. bnernll is teaching near Prospect church at the Lipe schoolhouse Rev. W. V. Honeycutt has gone to his circuit Big Lick in Stanly couuty aud is wdll pleased. Mr. A. Van Pelt has opened a shop for the repair and manufacture of wag ons and farming implements. The school at this place is doing well There are now over 90 on the roll. The teaching force is ample and satisfactory to all the patrons. Rev. Townsend, P. C, of the Enoch ville circuit has not yet arrived. We learn that he is spending some time at Warm Springs, Ark., recruiting his health. The secret of success is advertising Try the Watchman. Terrific Storms. St. Louts. Jan. 12. About: 4-so tfcta afternoon a cyclone struck the northeast ern section of the city, making a pathway ucny a quarter ot a mile wide, and leav ing death and desolation in it trunks. There was scarcely any warning of the approaching storm, owing to the fact tftat the sky had been overcast for sev eral hours before the full force of the Wind was felt, and it was all over in an incredibly brief period of time, those re siding in and near the path of the cy clone scarcely realizing what had hap pened until it was all over. In addition to dozens oT"dwellinora in the southern, central and northern- sec tions of the city, more or less wrecked, the followine big buildinss were dam aged : Ancendor mitts, Goodwin candle actory, Pullman shons. Van Brock's fur niture factory, Kingsland and Ferguson Farm Implement works, the Missouri Pacific hospital, Hogden school, German evangelical church, Second Presbyterian church, and others are yet to be heard irom. three fatalities are reported. The losses on property are roughly esti- a ftn vrwrt . m - W, ma Leu m iuu,uuu, out win likely prove more. The Harmony club, a Jewish or ganization, suffered a loss of $3,000 on their club house, corner of Olive and Eighteenth streets. St. Louis, Jan. 13. It is estimated that the total damage bv the cvclone win reach rjuo.ooo. mostlv to factories in toe north end, of which a dozen have been completely wrecked. FATAL IN KENTUCKY. Cairo, 111. Jan. 13. A tornado last night struck the east side of the citv of Clinton, Ky., demolishing 56 houses, Killing ii people, and wounding 53. 1 he tornado also visited Wycliffe. do ing considerable damage to property, but mere was no loss of life. Hawes Most Hang. Montgomery, Ala., January 13. To aay me supreme court ot Alabama ren dered its decision in the celebrated Hawes case, appealed from the Jefferson criminal court. Hawes murdered his wife aud two little girls in Birmingham a year ago last December. His crime was the occasion of an assault on the jail of Jefferson county by a mob, into which the sheriff fired and killed a number of men. including Postmaster Throckmorton, of Birmingham. Hawes was tried and con victed of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged last July. The case was appealed on a special plea for a change of venire and a new trial. The supreme court afirms the judgment of the criminal court of Jefferson county, and the date of the original sentence having expired, fixes the 28th of Febru ary as the date of the executin. The opinion of the court was rendered by Justice 1. iS. McClelian. Discord Cl-ab. Two members of the B Club had a little tussle y . ing. The members of thfe i on Quintette "lerday morn .Jlub were on their way to the depot in the Buford 'bus and John t . Rhodes, the violin soloist asked the manager, Mr. Blumenburg how far they had to go. 1 he latter re torted that it was noue of his business A few more words passed, when Blumen burg struck Rhodes with a satchel. A lively tussle ensued in which Blumenburg was choked. Rhodes refused to go with the company any further, and remained 111 the city al aay. ine remainder or the company went to Hickory, and the manager tele graphed for Rhodes to join them, but he left Charlotte yesterday evening for Lin- colnton. Chronicle. Political Trouble in Montana. Chicago, Jan. 11. A special dispatch from Helena, Montana, to the Inter Ocean says: "Yesterday afternoon aiessrs. sunders ana rowers, who were elected to be United States Senators by the republican house and senate, made formal application to Gov. Toole for cer tificates of election. The request was denied on the ground that their election was illegal, and also because of the fact that Gov. Toole had already given cer tificates of election to Messrs. Clark and Magi nn is, elected- by democrats. The legislative deadlock continues in full force and the republicans have decided to break it so far as the senate is con cerned by unseating Mr. McNamara, the democrat who is ineligible because of his being a federal official. This will give the republicans full control of the senate. Geronimo's Band. Washington, January 13. Secretary Proctor, iu a communication sent to Con gress to-day, in regard to the final dispo sition of the Geronimo'band of Apaches, now held as prisoners of war at Mt. Ver non barrrcks, Ala., recommends that one of two propositions be carried-out : 1st, that a tract of land be purchased for them in the mountains of North Carolina and they be located on it ; 2d, that the cousent of Congress be given to locate them near Ft. Sill, Indian Territory, until negotiations with the Commanche and Apache Indians in the Indian Terri tory can be had for their final location with these tribes on their reservation. General Crook favors the latter proposi tion as does also Secretary Proctor. The baud now numbers 462. Thirty-Nine Lashes Given. Charleston, S. C, Jan. 5. In Spar tanburg county last night a mob of ne groes in masks visited the house of John Hall, a negro who was living with a white woman, who he claims was his wife, took him out, tied him to a tree, and gave him thirty-nine lashes. Than they turned him loose and told him to leave the county. The white woman was not molested, but was simply warned to leave the State. The white people of the county had investigated the case and de termined to bring it before the next term of court, miscegenation being a felony uuder the laws of the State. The colored people, however, took the law iu their own hands, and' the parties have left the State. To Mark the Battle Positions. Washington, Jan. 14. The bill intro duced in the . House to-day by Mr. Bing ham for marking the battle positions of the Army of Northern Virginia at Get tysburg, appropriates $31,000 for the pur pose. The bill provides for marking with tablets the positions occupied by the troops along these lines, for the construc tion of drive ways, etc., 24 miles in length, and for determining the positions of t he various commands as they were formed for battle. $50,000 Voted to a Railroad. New Berne, N. C, Jan. 9. The city of New Berne voted to-day by a very large majority , to subscribe fifty thousand dollars to aid in constructing a railroad from New Berne to Wilmington. Only three votes were cast against the proposition. in the Quintal ,e Another National Park. Washington, Jan. 10. A bill has been prepared by General Grosvenor establish ing the Chattanooga and Chicamauga National Military Park, wnich has the support of leading members of the socie ties of the army of the Cumberland, army of Tennessee, army of the Potomac, and all the leading ex-Con federate officers engaged in the battles indicated. It pro vides that upon power being ceded to the United States by the States of Ten nessee and Georgia, that the public roads along the crest of Missionary Ridge from the north end of Sherman's heights to nossviiie, the road from Boss vi lie to Mc Farland's Gap, and the road from Ross ville by the way of Lee Gordon's mills to Crawfish springs shall become approaches to ana part of said national park. I he park proper to which the title is to be obtained by the United States by con demnation and purchase after ceding of jurisdiction by the State of Georgia, em braces the battlefield of Chicamauga, aud is to be bounded by the Hue starting on tne Lafayette road just north of the Cloud bouse, thence west to Mcr arland's gap, thence along the Dry Valley road to the road from Crawfish springs to Lee Gor don's mills, thence to these mills, thence down Chicamauga river to Reed's bridge and thence to the place of beginning, covering about 7,000 acres. The affairs of the park are to be man aged under the Secretary of War by three commissioners,, one to be an army officer. It is made the duty of these commission ets under the secretary of war to ascer tain and substantially mark all battle lines. The Chicamauga Memorial Asso ciation, an incorporation under the laws of Georgia and authorities of any of the States which had troops in the battles of Ubickamauga or Chattanooga are given the right to ascertain and mark the lines of their troops subject to the approval of the Secretary of War, who shall have the right to decide disputed points. The present owners of the property on the field within the proper limits of the park, are to be allowed to remain on their lands if so desired, after the pur chase by the government, upon terms which amount to little more than an agreement on their part to preserve the buildings which were standing at the time of the battle and the present out lines of the fields and forests, to hold, care for and preserve the marks which may be placed on the field. An appro priation of $250,000 is provided for, car rying the act into effect. The bill has been under consideration by a large number of soldiers of both armies for over a year. Let's Talk About the Weather. Not about the weather exactly, but about some of its remarkable results. No such things have ever been known before. Strawberries are reported as ripening in several places in Raleigh. In many lawns there are buds on the rosebushes just ready to burst and there by declare the reign of spring. In two more days if there is no change in the weather, magnificent Marechal Neil roses may m taken from their vines over the wiudowsand on the trellises all over the city. A gentleman was noticed yesterday wearing a full blown rose which opened on Saturday. Jonquils and daises are positively plen tiful everywhere, and white maples are blooming all over town. Yesterday Mr. Pulaski Cowper came from Wadesboro, aud brought a limb of a peach tree in full bloom. It was authoritatively stated yesterday that eleven crates of strawberries had been shipped from Goldsboro. At San ford, the guests of the Page Hotel have been eating strawberries every day for more than a week. Tolay is the 13th of January. Just throw facts together, then look up history, and it will trans pire that at last there is honest, good reason for people to say they never saw such weather for the time of year before; because they certainly never did. Ral eigh Call. Colored Messengers. The Washington Advocate, a paper published in the interests of the colored people, has been making some inquiries concerning the treatment of messengers and laborers in the departments undi r the Harrison Administration. As a re sult of its investigations it publishes the following, which shows that the col ored man who was a ''brother" before the election is a servant and menial since the election: When a colored man, through the in fluence of a Congressman or some other prominent person, secures a position and is assigned to a division, & is not many days before he is called on to go to the house of the chief of that division to make fires in the morning, to cut grass, sprinkle the sidewalks, put down carpets, wait on dinner parties, drive the family carriage, and do scores of other things without a penny's compensation. Ne groes do these things through fear of be ing dismissed from their positions. With the possible exception of the White House, in which negroes are boycotted altogether, there is not a department of the Government in which auditors, sec retaries, assistant secretaries, chiefs, commissioners and deputy commission ers do not use Government employes (meaning colore d employes) to ther own advantage. Here It Is. The Carolina Watchman say Mr. Ketch v. of that vicinitv raised this year on four acres of cround 250 bushels of corn an average of 62J bushels per acre. Who can beat it? Why, anybody. We have a dozen farmers on valley river, who raised this year over 75 bushels to the acre, aud it wasn't a remarkable year for corn, either. Mvrphy Advance. DIED.
