orres nitnioTiiui Christiana, Dec? 9. There will be preaching at Christ iana next Sunday, Dec. 15th., by Rev. Geo. H. Cox D. D., at 11 a m. Sunday school at 9:30 am. Rev. W. W. Rowe preached a much needed sermon to the boys at St. Luke's last Sun day Dec. 8. It 'was plain and to thepoint,- yet told in such a way that no one could take offense. The public is "cordially in vited to'hear the joint debate between Crescent and. New London, at New London, Dec. 13th, 7:30 p.m., as was advertised in the Watchman last week. It is a well known fact that the Crescent boys -. have the., most difficult side, and it is watched with in terest to see if the New Lon don boys will put it to them, as they surely ought to do, because they have the easiest side. Some one has-eaibl "If they are any debators at all they will -surely beat on that question." Last Sunday morning, Dec- ember 8th, the sun had !put on its best appearance, and had dispelled every cloud and had started on his jour ney across the heavens that he might behold the beauti f ul ceremony that was taking place in the home of Rev. W. W. Rowe, of Rockwell. Miss Sallie Holshouser and John C. Peeler were 'being united in the holy bonds of matrix - mony. The two -contracting parties are well known in Rowan county and the State. We wish for them a long and happy life. Yes it is "Poor old Xerxes,' he is in a very deplorable condition. Yet of all people on earth we had counted Ruth as our most loyal 'friend. The sad news of his ever in creasing difficulties came like a mighty subterrestrial elec tric current. Yet in his griefs he can look sadly around and same. Take for instance that young Democrat who escort ed Ruth to Sunday school not long ago Had he been a Re publican he "would have never permitted her to go home alone Xekxes FAITH.

The "beautiiui snow has come and gone, It began early Wednesday "morning and snowed all day, it was the first fall of the season and by night was about 2 inches deep. An old tradition has it that the number of snow storms during the winter may be determined in ad vance by the day of the month on which the first one came. On this theory, only four falls of snow will hap pen this winter. L. D. McCarnes, B. T. Mar tin, Levi Hill and others have organized themselves into a syndicate known as the "last chance" mining com pany and have taken over the upper part of the Gold Hill mine and propose to work it on tribute. I am informed that they have already struck one rich gold vein; that they may find King Solomon's mines, or its equivalent, is my earnest wish f oi we cer tainly need something to re vive' this old mining town. C. A. Helderman has bought a lot from W. V. Eller near the depot and, we learn, is going to build a dwelling house on it in the near future, it is also rumor ed that he is to take unto himself a better half this spring or summer. M. J. Misenheimer and'son have accepted a position with H. C. rrubb in a distillery at Salisbury. R. D. Coleman and M. M. Vandeburg have suspended work at the Troutman mine until the weather is more favorable, when it is stated they will resume development work. Dan Crowell and family have moved into their new house recently erected for them on Spring St., near the Southern mine. Clementine Brady has built a new barn on the site of the one recently burned by an incendiary, in which she lost a cow and a buggy, also - her horse was seriously burned but recovered. This is sec ond time in a few years she lost her barn by fire. 7 Mrs. Paul Earnheart and daughter visited at J. G. Mooses last week. John Eagle and wife are visiting friends and relatives here. Beulah Shaver and Clyde Jenkins, who have been sick with -typhoid fever, have about recovered and unless a relapse occurs, will be out in in a few days. Howard Ludwick is quite sick at this time, he has chills and jaundice and is threaten ed with the fever. Miss Dora Eagle is visiting at her brother's, Dave Eagle, who is clerking for J. A.

Seems as if some one is out of potatoes who believes in barter, for some unknown party or parties went to Jno, H. Frick's a short time ago and got a couple of bushels of Irish po tatoes and an place left a large cat tied to a rain cradle in such a way that the cat never came back. Mr. M J. Cauble has kill ed another nice hog. It weighed about 150 lbs. Mrs. E. E, Proctor, of Sal isbury, visited her mother, Mrs. M. J. Cauble, this week. Jr. O. U. A. M.

The foregoing set of officers are, we think, very capable of . fitting their respective places with one exception, viz: the C. we won't vouch for him. Meeting again Sat urday evening the 14th in stant at 7:30 p. in. sharp. Hope to see a house full, well, full house would do. We understand that there will be a Christmas tree at D. M. Baptist church. Will state time later. All who subscribe will receive pres ents. We think it would be ad visa-ble-f or some one to see after our school here. A teacher has been employed to teach the school and from what we can learn he is perfectly com petent, but we hear that- the committee is wanting to get rid of the teacher. (The com- mittee snouia ana aoes con sist of three: C. L. Kesler, Jas.Horahand W. T, Loflin.) The first two don't for good reasons, have much to say. So it is all one man says. This should not be. Some of the patrons are anxious to see a good school and . it should be if properly manag ed. Baetlette. ABOUT ALEX MBELirS DEATH. His Friend. Morgan, Greatly Grieved.

There has been a great deal said about the new ten dollar gold piece, on which thr mott, la God we Trust," has been left off by order of our strenuous President.
