We are having dry weather- now, but
tle indications are lavorable for rain this
niomiug. The wheat crop is all housed,
aud threshing has begau iu some parts of
the county. The crop is generally good,
and ia most cases they yield satisfactory.
Corn is looking well; farmers have been
working as faithfully a3 I ever knew, and
they have Gen. Green pretty well sub
dued. If the good Lord sends the early
and latter rains, there will bo a good
crop of com made. Cotton is said to be
doing well but is backward and will be
late. If the fall be late a reasonably fair
crop will be made.
Mr. Bruce Linster, who was so badly
bruised up in the railraad wreck is up
aud was on the street yesterady. The
probability 13 that he will be able to try
her again in a tew days.
John Woods, a white man about 2D
years of age, was iu town last Wednes
day evening. He imbibed freely of "tu-
lu" (the curse ot this town aud commu
nity) and started for home wit h is three
miles from here on the Junebux road.
His mangled body 'was fouud iiext, morn-
iug ou the railroad, having been run over
the nitrht before.
The county commissioners were in
session yesterday. Their principal work
was, passing claims, di awing jurors for
next term of court, and meeting with
the assessors of the various townships in
order to equalize the valuation of real es
tate as much so as possible. The asses
sors have completed their work, which
will cost the county about;$l,200. In
most of the townships the Valuation of
real estate is (somewhat advanced, but
riot enough to make much difference in
the amount of tax derived from the
same. Yesterday about 1 o'clock, p. in.,
the alarm, of fire was- souuded. It was
discovered that tho depot was on tire.
Men aud boys rushed pcllaUiell to the
scene, j All business was sujkoded and
thereWas a general rush to the depot.
The depot buildiugs were all destroyed
except the uew passenger depot which was
saved, i Spontaneous conbustion is sup
posed to be the origin of he fire. The
greater part of the freight was paved.

NORWOOD'S HEALTH.
Tho Cilizen3 Indigaant on Account of
Malieions Report ii
?r. Editor:- Will you kindly grant us
spaed in your paper m order that wemav
correct some false aniFdamasrina reoorts
that 4e being freely and maliciously cir
culated !!i oursistvi towuto the detri
ment of the material prosperity ot our
place. These reports are so base and
absurd that we at first defirued tliem un
worthy of consideration, hoping aint be
lieving that no intelligent person would
dare say aught that would be detrimental
to our village without even a hooe of
our part unjust to ourselves and discour
teous" to those outside of our county who
have contributed so liberally of their
energies and means to the advancement
of our town.
First, It is reported that the town of
.Norwood is su located that it is pecu
Marly subjected to the ravages of that
fatal! malady, typhoid fever; and that
largo numbers of our citizens have fallen
victims to this disease
"Now, Mr. Editor, the facts in this case
are vouched for by two iiitelliirentyand
and reliable physicians whose names ar-
pear ac me ciosc or nns letter. Seven.
L ini n
years ago iui our village was
scourged with typhoid fever, from which
several deaths occurred: since that time.
to our knowledge, there his been but one
casej of typhoid fever m the town of
Norwood.
The iirst case which occurred in our
town in that vear (lb84) was distinctly

pronounced by the attending physicians
to hitve been contracted horn bedclothes
which were used immediately after be
ing brought from Wadesboro, where thev
had just been used in several fatal cases
of typhoid fever. And every subsequent
coscwuicn oecurrea was direct Jy trace
aoie to visits paid oy neixnoors ana
friends who were so charitable astootfer
their services as nurses. When the phj'
sicians ascertained that it was contagious
and the proper disinfectants and pre
cautions useu,not anotucr ease occurred
The most arduous efforts of our best
pnysicians nave lauea to aiscover any
local cause in our community which
might breed the germs of typhoid fever,
ihc natural drainage ot cur county is
perlect; our water unsurpassed; and our
health record can be judged from the
fact that not a single grave was dug in our
cemeterv (which is used for the whole
surrpunding country) from November,
18S3L to March, 18!X
Second. It is currently reported that
many of our most extensive farmerifown
stores or commissaries and compeL their
laborers to purchase their supplies fromj
thern. the report is as lalse as it is
foolish;. for till intelligent men are well
aware that in the present time neither
iabojr nor trade can be controlled in this
way!. Such reports bear fallacy upon
their face and need no further comment.

Mr-:. Mollic Albca, of this community,
who' has been sick fome time with con
sumption, died last Wednesday morning
at the age of ab&ut '0 years. She leaves
a Udsbaud, one child, and a great many
friends to mourn their los.. She was a
member cf the M. E. chuich, South, a
goud, kind woman and was loved by all
who knew her.
On the same day August us Nicholson,
aged about 00 jtars, a highly respected
colojred man of Turnersburg township,
fell dead without a moment's warning.
Tins makes three deaths of that kind in
this Section in the hist few weeks. It re
minds us of the passage of Scripture, "Iu
sueli an hour as ye think not the Son of
man cometh."
'Squire Kennedy, of E iglo Mills
township, had a peculiar case before him
yesterday. It was that of a woman
against whom a peace warrant had been
taken out by her husband. It is gener
ally the other way but this time the
order was reversed. She got mad at him
and; the children, cut his wagon harness
up, cut all the epoke3 out of one of his
wagou wheels, tore her shoes in pieces,
prepared pine to set his tobacco barn ou
fire,! had a tire built in the yard with her
oldest daughters clothing laying around
it, yhich she threatened to burn in case
such and such a thing was done, and to
capithe climax she threatened to split the
last one of them open with an ax if they
did not let her alone. Of course she had
to put under a peace bond, and it 13
probable that she will go to jail for six
months.
At the last meeting of tho Houston
ville Alliance the see ret a ry was ordered
to buy enough cobalt to supply the Alli
ance members and the community for
try iing the experiment of poisoning the
tobacco fly. We have heard of one man
wild uses it effectually, and decided to
give the suggestion to your readers that
they may profit thereby. Some mix it
with sweet milk or honey and put it in
artificial flowers over the field. Since the
fly sucks the jinipson blossom it looks
likei an artificial flower resembling it
would entice the fly. They are t he worst
we have ever known them at the season
of t2ie vear. If any of the readers have
a sujggestiou to make we will be glad to
hear it.

The above
is quite verdant and re-
freshing and for the benefit of others who
m , .. . , , .
may not know anything about the mm-
eral resources of our State -we will
answer it through our columns.
la the first place, be it known that
every known mineral and gem stone is
found in North Carolina, and ono gem
stone (Hiddenite) is fouud ozty in this
State,
Many large pieces of gold have been
foil ml llOl'O tliA Urcricf rf whr tliafa ia I
any autneniic account- being a piece
weighing twenty-eight pounds, found iW
Cabarrus county, although it is said that
a much larger piece was found ii-Stanly
and cut up and divided among tlWminers
who discovered it. Knrse nugzets. are
constantly being found and hardly a
week passes but some State paper men
tions the finding of a piece worth from
one hundred to five hundred dollars.
McDowell has a good reputation as a
mineral county. Many fine gem stones
have been found there, among them
being diamonds, rubies, sapphires, em
eralds, hyacinths,, garnets, topaz ame-
miysts, &c, &c. The.-;c have nearly all
been fouud by accident, nothing like a
systematic search ever having been made
for them. Thousands of dollars worth of
gold has been taken out of the creeks and
water courses in that county, and we
have m the hies of the Watchman of
1SS7, au account of over seven pounds of
pure gold being blown out at one blast
in Muddy Creek Valley, which seems to
be about the centre of that district.
We know nothing about the property
of the North Carolina Gold Mining and
Bullion Company. Several large north
ern companies own valuable properties
in that part of ihc State.
a beautiful gem.
A gentleman living in New England,
but a -North Carolinian by birth, writes
to the Scotland Neck Democrat that as he
was going through oue of the principal
streets of Providence, R. I., he was at
tractcd by a haudso.ne collection of gems
in. a show window of a large jewelry
establishment, and says: "In the centre
of the table was the chief attraction to
me. It was a huge crystal of emerald
about 1 inches thick and 3 inches long,
weighing eight ounces and of a rich
green color. uy tne side ot tins lay
eleven diamonds and other cut gems
