Hawkins, of Warren, Jacob A. Long, of
Graham, and V. B. Sharpe, of Edge
combe.
a oonsoiiaatea group ot silver mints
in Colorado will close down becaust of
the low price of silver and high wages

teuded the civil service rules to include
seven or eight thousand more office
holders to emphasize his approval of
civil service reform and a desire to keep
in office as many Republicans as possible
under a Democratio administration.
It seems to be definitely settled, by
the newspapers at least, that Mr. Cleve
land will appoint Senator Carlisle Secre
tary of tho Treasury, Daniel S. Lamont
Secretary of the Navy or Postmaster
General and Mr. Bissell, of New York,
his former law partner, as Attorney-Gen

He Biys the there will be twenty five

March and has no fear that Mr. Cleve
land may remove bim.
John Wanamaker's father was a

An opportunity to pass an enjoyable

The Weather -The weather this
winter has been much voider than usual.
Tho minimum registered by the thermom
eter was two degrees above zero on Fri
day, the 30th of December. One day it
was eight degrees and several days it
ranged from eight to sixteen. The snow
which fell on the night of December
26th was ten inches deep on a level and
was said to be the heaviest kntwo here
since 1857. Snow fell again on the 3rd
inst., to a depth of three inches and some
of it remains yet.
For a week past the canal has been
covered with ice heavy enough to skate
on. Tho river at Gaston was frozen
over Monday and a passage had to be
cut through it for boats to cross.
Railroad Rumors. It is reported
that the Seaboard Air Line will on the
first of February put on a fast train
between Atlanta and the northern cities.
The train will arrive here going South at
5:30 in the afternoon and going North ut
o.M in tho morning, vat rumor says
these trains will run solid over the At
lantic Coast Line route between this place
and Richmond, another says they will
run to Norfolk but will take a sleeper
from the Coast Line train here for t
South and leave one here for it for the
North. It is also reported that the
shoofly trains on the Seaboard and Ral
eigh and Gaston roads will be discontin
ued. If the schedules of the new fast
trains are to be as reported above the
shoofly on the Seaboard road could be
discontinued without inconvenienee, but
the fast train would not take the place of
the shoofly on the Raleigh road. It was
put on to accommodate people who wished
to spend the day in Raleigh ou business
and the now fast train would not enable
then to do this.
Hood's Calendar Hood's Calen
dar fur 1893 is out, and like its predeces
sors is the daintiest of its kind for the
year, embodying the best results of the
att of the designer, engraver and painter.
It is appropriate to the World's Fair
year, being entitled 'The Young Discov
erers" and presents the bright faces of
two youog children locating Flood's Sar-
saparilla on the mnp of North America
It is a unique and tasteful design, beau
tifu. in color and expressions aud will
make a bright picture on the wall of
many a homo and office, while the plain
figures attractively printed on the pad
will be of great utility ali the coming
year. Copies of Hood's Calendars may
be obtained of the druggists, or by send
ing six ccuts in stamps for one, or ten
oeuts lot two, to C I. Hool & (Jo , Low
ell, Muss.
To Our Scbscribehs We send out
more bills this week ati I hope they will
receive attention. VVe will be compelled
by necessity to discontinue sending the
paper to those who do not respond. No
one need bj sjrprised if he fail to rvecive
his puper, unless he remits promptly.
The Roanoke News will be made
as attractive in every respect as possible
duriug the routing year. The pictorial
feature is already becoming popular, and
our fashion plates and notes please the
ladies, for whose especial benefit they are
printed. This will be a permanent feat
ure of the paper, and can be relied on
for accuracy and correctness of disrup
tion. Another advantage offered to subscri
bers and .others is opportunity to club
with some of the best monthlies and
weeklies in the country at greatly re
duced rates, thereby enabling them to
get the News and another paper at ut
most tho price of one. Ex inline our
clubbing pr-tpositim on the last page,
and in reniittins for (he News add on
enough to psy for the -titer piper which
you may prefer. We m ik in money
out of iliis'irruri.'e iient, but have made
it to benefit thoso who may care to take
advantage of it.
MUTINT AT THE PENITENTIARY
Farms. A few days ago a plan to
break out from the penitentiary buildings
at the convict farms near here was dis
covered. There were four or five leaders
and they had with them about fifty con
victs. They had perfected a plot by
which they would at the proper time at a
given signal rush upon and overpower
the guards, and seize their guns. They
were then to take possession of all the
arms and ammunition and murdering all
who resisted them, turn the doors open
and liberate every convict on the farm and
arm him. They were then to set lire to
all the buildings and go their several
ways before assistance could be obtained
or before they could be captured.
One of the convicts who had been let
into the plot, disclosed the whole thing
and it was frustrated. The leaders are
now in irons. The prime mover in this
attempt at murder and arson was the
man who abducted a girl in Chatham
county, took her to South Carolina and
was arrested there and brought back,
convicted and sentenced to the peniten
tiary for fifteen years.
Two Wrecks on the Coast Line.
On Thursday last the first section of
tne southbound freight tram troru men-
mond which passed here about 6 o'clock
in the morning was wrecked at Buggies'
statiou, four miles below Halifax. Ouo
man, Willis Furgerson, was killed. He
-was on top of a box car and when the
wreck occurred jumped to the ground
breaking his leg and receiving internal
injuries from which he died in a few
hours. The train was going about six
teen miles an hour. The locomotive
passed over the switch safely, but the
spring in the frog which held the rail in
place broke and twenty-one cars were
piled in a heap. Seventeen of them
were in a space of 150 feet and broken
into kindling wood. Some were on th
side of the track, bottom upwards. Oth
ers were across the track and some piled
up on others. They were loaded with
various kinds of merchandise.
All trains were blocked and bad to go
via the Scotland Neck and Greenville
road, via Hobgood and Tarboro to Rocky
Mount, which is twenty-five miles out of
the way.
A wrecking train reached the scene of
the wreck at 3 o'clock and a large force
at once put to work removing' the wreck
under the superirtendenoe of Major
Morrison Divine, but the track was not
cleared until tho day. Four hundred
feet of track and a trestle 25 feet long
were torn up. The cars were a complete
loss to the company. T. C. Davies, con
ductor, and J. U. Ward, engineer, were
in charge of the train.
I he second section ot the same train
was also wrecked near Jarratts on the
Petersburg road on tho same morning
and fifteen loaded box cars were ditched
No one was hurt in this wreck.
THE MOST PLEASANT WAY
Of preventing the grippe, colds, head
aches, and fevers is to use the liquid lax
ative remedy Syrup of Figs, whenever
the system needs a gentle yet effective
e'en using To be benefited one must get
the true remedy manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co only. For sale
by all druggists in 50c and $1 bottles.

The reason why the sales of Dr. Bull's

worth in the cure of sough, cold, and in
flammation of the bronchia and lungs.
