It cannot be disputed that the man who stops advertising purpose ■of retrenching hlsexpense.s succeeds in accomplishing his object.

Homicide IN Haywood.— We Icai'u of a homicide occurring in Haywood county on tlie night of the 20tli nit., at the residence of a Ml'S.'I'ati', a widow lady. It appear.s that a diflkmity oc- ciU’i'CiI, the origin of which we h ive no; obtained, between Baxter Turpin, a son- in-law of Mrs. Tate, and Creigiito.i Moi-- row. tin; latter a man some 50 ycar.s of age. when Turpin sliot him three times witii a pistol, killing him. Tlicrc were two witnesses of tlie affiiir, who give di rectly oppiKite te.stimony as to the na ture of the dilllculty between the two men. Mr. Jno. Turjftn. the father of the murderer, came upon tlie .•^evne and [u-eveiited bis son escaping, kei'ping him nndei-arrest until the arrival otthe SlKTiir, wlio comlucfed him to liie jail at Waynesvilie where lie luiw await.s trial. A -Xa.TURAJ, CONSqQPKNCE. — A friend of ours gave Ids \iife three pigs on condition .she would take care of and feed three others for him. The six pig.s wt-re placed in a jicii—all the same size and age. She selected three, of them and named them Hayes, Wlis'eler and Grant—lie named the others Tildeii, Henidricks and Vance. The result Is that the Radical pigs steal all the com— grow fat and tltrive, stand at the trough all day anil exhibit as much greediness as tlic average Radical officials—whilst the other three pigs have to take their chances and don’t look as if they will be able to stand it much longer. There must be sometblng wrong in the re turning bOiU'd and they leel as if they had lieeii eomited out or bull-dozed. They want a fair count ora free fight. A XORTH Carolinian Mayor op Galveston, Texas.—From a Galves ton exchange we sec that Col- D- C. Stone, a native of this State, is the Democratic nominee for the Mayorship of that city. The Gitlve.ston Xeios gives the following biograpliical sketch of this gentleman: Col. D. C. Stone, whu ye.sterday rc ceived the Democratic iioiuinatioii for Mayor of this city wa.s liom in the State of Nortli Carolina in ls25. At niiu;- tcen ycai-s of age he graduated at tlie university of his native State situated at Chapel Hill, am] at once begun the study of law. Shortly afti'r he liad en tered upon the practice of his profession, he was elected to the office of District Attorney in Fi-aiikiin comity. At the expiration of ids term of ollke, lie gave u() the legal profession and engaged in mercantile piirsnits, which lie has fol lowed ever since, e.xci^pting a period devoted to tlie duties of County Judge, to wiiioli position lie was returned by a most nattering vote Of his counrrymen. He came to tills city in 18(j0 and since that time has lided a prominent place in the' coinuiercialeoinmuniry C;f (4a.ves- ton He has been twice elected to the presidency of the Colton Exchange, andha.salways enjoyed the confidence and esteem of those ovi'r wliose. business relations and deliberations it lia.^ been Ills pi-ovince to priiside. His farlier was a man of prominence, having once re presented his county ill the Senate of Norili Carolina, and for seventeen years filled the, position of chief clerk to tlialbody. Col Stone is a gentleman highly cultured in his ta.«tes. of plea.s- lii'g address and of sterling qualities as a lnisiue.«s man. For four years Col. Stone-was Gjiainnan of the Democratic Executive ('oinmittee for Galveston county, and in that capacity iipquirtec! biinselt with characlerisUc dlgir.ity aad propriety. The SpartanjJt'KG Road to Reach Hendersonville the First of-Ian- UARY Xext.— M'e learn the Spartan burg and Asheville Raili-oad Company ha.s ejitered into a bond with the coun ty of Henderson that it will run a ti-iiiii into the town of nendoVsonville on the first day ol'January next- Tlii.s coii- ti-aet was entered into iiT tonskleratioii oftlic bonds of the eounty^lbr the ben efit of tin? road being d.-yi-vered to the company. By that timi'tfi'e'route from Hendersonville to ihe Swaiiuanoa at till.'; place, a distance of 19 miles, will have been graded, as it is all now under cout.ract, and we may ('X])ect soon then'after to see the iron horse snort ing into our miilst. 'riie iron foi' the I'oail as far as Heinh'rsonville lias al ready been purchased. “Whar th;-; ' a'l as are, Thar THE Buzzards do <'ongrkgate;”— T’lie Revenue ofiic.er.s and sieh of tins section liave tieen lloekingto Wa.shiiig- ton during the luist week', to be “in at rlie death” t)f Ha.ye.s, h'diug eniitideiit that there will be no slij) in the happen ing of that event.

Woo a woman bravely. If there is anytliing humiliating to a woman it is to have a lover whom she wishes to honor weak and vapid, ever yielding rind half afraid of her. She longs to tell him to “act like a man,'’ The man who con-'-eaks or denie.s his love for fear of being laughed at is acoward, A love that has no element of divinity in it is not love, but passion, which of itself, has notliing ennobling. T’hat was a beauti ful inscription on a w’edding ring, “each for the other, and both for'God!” A newly married, but vei-y Jealous minded man, sent lii« young wife home to her pr.rents yesterday luoriiing, be- cau.-je the night betbre, while talking in her sloi'p. lie heard her say, “don’t Tom my; don’t Tommy; I am married now, ami must not be. kissed by anybody but iiapa and my husband.”' 'I’mnniy was the name of the young husband’s late rival, and Tlie littie wife must not even dream about him.

We are glad to learn that in some seo lions of tlii.s county this system will be adopted quite generally this year. As a practical evidence of the results of this plan, we are informed that Mr John Brown, a fai-mer residing some 13 miles below here on the French Broad, last year grew tobacco on tiiree .acres of lancl. which yielded some 1500 pounds, and huviiig rc'cently s!iip})ed the same to Danville.
