We have been, or rather some of our
correspondents have been, complaining of
th lack of enterprise on the part of our
merchants, and we have beenYnade to feel
the weight of their displeasure in con
sequence of the adverse criticisms of some
of our country friends. That is all natural
enough and we made' no complaint of their
reseating which seemed to them unfriend
ly conduct nor is it to be expected that we
would apologize for any effort to cjouse
them to a sense of their responsibility for
the falling off of. trade here . while it is
growing in the neighboring towns. Our
sympathies and interests are all centered
here, and whatever advanceaiho prosperity
of Burke and Morganton will help us.
What we have said or allowed to be said
in our paper was, as we believed, in the
public interest and it is, consequently, a
source of great satisfaction to us to hear
that a spirit of energy and enterprise is
being manifested by our business men
which, if persisted in, will make Korgan
ton the trading point which its geographical
position and natural advantages entitle it
to. Among other good movements, we
learn that the merchants and other public
spirited citizens are raising a 1 rge fund
to establish a Tobacco Factory and Ware
house here with capacity to consumo all
the production of this region. Good. Let
us have a good Tobacco market here.

A Letter to the Editor.
IS b. Editob: I said to you two weeks
ago that our people were wasting too much
of their time and thoughts abput the po
litics and politicians of the country. Sup
pose we let those fine fellows with their
big watch chains, gold headed canes and
brassy faces fight out such things among
themselves. They are after office while
we, the people, are n -t exj ecting or want
ing any. Let us turn our attention to
building up and improving the country.
The man who makes two blades of grass
two ears of corn or two heads wheat grow
where only one grew before, is a valuable
citizen, a benefactor; a fit person to follow
and to honor. We must give more thought
to this improvement of our matfriul in,
terests by intelligent and earnest effort,
and not be easily diverted to the service of
mere place hunters. We have a glorious
country soil, climate, position every
thing to invite effort for beautifying and
increasing many fold its present produc
tion. Suppose every man ia B urke res&l ves
to-day to go to work and .clear np an extra
acre of swamp , thicket or "briar-patch'
and puts in half the time he wasted last
year going to town, hunting, or frolics, in
8ubsoiling his land, what a change this
year would show; in old Burke, on 5 of the
very best counties in all North Carolina.
There are two thousand able bodied men
in this county. If by this extra work if they
only increased their crop ten dollars worth.
it would be extra and for sale, fetching in
to the county ten times two thousand or
tweaty thousand cash dollars. Money
would soon become plenty and to lend
Those who are in debt could borrow at I

Mr. Thos. Moore, son of Ex-Sheriff Moore,
is now in the township looking after his
father's property hero. Several wagons
from down S3ufh have recently been in
this section buying chickens. An old hen
was good for a shilling and large numbers
were sold at that price, in fact there is
scarcely enough roosters left to give the
farmers in this vicinity the signal that the
dawn of day is approaching. The Linville
bachelor who married sometime ago, and
since then has knocked down all the fences
(both rock and rail) on Linville with his
buggy, riding his pretty little darling wife
around, has gone lo work in earnest repair

"The McKesson Merchant Mills" are al

of this section have to go a long distance,
to "the Caldwells Mills" to get their wheat
prepared for making biscuits. We hope
some one will purchase this valuable pro
perty (we learn that it is for sale) and re

Onr Texas Letter.
Blub Ridge, Collin co, Texas. Jan.. 9, 1880.
Mr Old Friend : We have had no rain
of consequence since 5th May last. Not
withstanding the long drouth, we made
about half crops of corn and cotton. There
are various places in Texas where scarcely
anything in the eating, line has been pro
duce 'j while the grass'and waters are com
pletely dried up. In Bogue county, west
of this, I learn they have had no rain in
twelve months. I had over, one hundred
bushels of old corn on hand hen 1 gather
ed, last Fall, and made some gooduced,
drouthy as it was. I went it pretty strong
on cotton, but, unfortunately, I only madd
half a crop 5 bales, four of which were
my own. I sold two of fheseifor $103, and
the other two shipped to Galveston, which
I learn this morning netted me 1 1 cents per
pound, I have made some money evry
year since I came here, except this. Last
year I sold six bales of cotton and only got
$221. Four bales this year brought me
over $200. Last year I paid over $100 for
Doctors and drug bills; this year only about
$13. I landed here with $149. and since I
have paid out $601. I have 3 horses, 21
hogs, 12 heads of cattle and killed p:rk
enough to do me. It takes a vast amount
of money to run a man in Texas. We buy
our clothing, groceries, Wdgons, plows
every thing from the N rth. The health
of this country is net to be complained of,
alto' two of Collin county's best men died
last night one of consumption, the other
of heart disease. We had cold weather
about Christmas with two inches of snow,
sleet and rain, which gave plenty of water
for stock up to writing this. A grat many
horses and ca ttle hare died for the lack of
water and grass. Over two thousand head
of horses a nd cattle from Eastern Texas
passed here going in the direction of the
Sabine rivei in search of water. Harvey
