" ' tsy Different things very often go
down about the same time: the Court

very cheap at London's.
Jts5 Whether Prohibition is car
ried or not Shaw & Harris will con
tinue to sell tlmr entire Summer

Next in importance to the question
of Prohibition, is that of where to
buy goods the cheapest, and those
:vho have dealt with them, are conr
.Vinced that you can not do better than
to do your trading with them.
Carriage Licenses.
During the month of July only
three marriage licenses were issued
in this county. Probably this small
number is owing to the fact that the
young women are waitiug to see how
their lovers vote on the prohibition
.question.
Cutting Scrape.
On last Thursday, two negro lads
in New Hope township, named
Joseph Smith and Sim Smith, had a
fight, and Joseph severely wounded
Sim by stabbing him in three places.
Joseph w&S arrested and after a pre
liminary trial befoie Lem. Ellis J. P
he was committed to jail to await his
trial at the next term of our Superior
Court.
The Drought.
The long continued drought is be
coming quite alarming in this county.
Many wells have become dry, all the
tma'1 streams are nearly dried up,
corn is badly twisted, and the vege
table gardens are parched up. Unless
we have copious " showers of rain
very soon the crops in Chatham will
be cut short and much suffering will
ensue.
A Sudden Death.
The citizens of this community
Srere greatly shocked yesterday at this
arrival of a telegram from Paleigh,
announcing the death of Mrs. George
W. Thompson, of this county. She
had gone from here to Raleigh only
jthe day before in her usual health,
and it is supposed that her death
was caused by heart-disease. The
deceased was a lady much beloved by
all who knew her, and her many ex
cellencies of character had endeared
her to a large circle of admiring
friends, who will bemoan her sudden
death.
Board of Education.
Our county board of education,
composed of the county commission
ers met here last Thursdaj- and Fri
day. Nearly all the school committee
men of the county met with them.
Many changes were madp in the
boundary lines of school districts and
other business relating to the public
schools was disposed of.
In this connection we wjll state
that Rev. P. R. Law, our county
superintendent of public instruction,
has prepared and published a pam
phlet, explanatory of the duties of
school committemen, which will
doubtless be productive of much
good.
The Midland Survey.
The survey of the Midland North
Carolina Railroad is nearly finished.
Col. Gardner's party have surveyed
one hundred miles of the route from
Goldsboro to Marley's Mills, twenty
three miles west of this place, and
Capt. Cain's party are surveying from
Sali bury in this direction and will
probably complete their task this
week. Col. Gardner with his corps
of survej-ors, after leaving here iaxt
week, followed the course of the old
iage road in the direction of Ashe
boro, but he noon ascertained that
tbia route would be too costly, so after
arriving at Marley's niijls (just in the
.idge of Randolph county) he started
upon his return to this place, running
a new line on the northern side of
Hickory Mountain, and arrived here
last night. This line runs about half
a mile north of Matthews X Roads,
crosses Rocky river a mile north of
Hackney's mill and passes within a
few yards of Eminaus church, and is
pronounced by Col. Gardner to be an
teeUent route, on which theie would
not anywhere be a cut deeper than
ten feet. This line completely "flanks"
Hickory Mountain, nd is no longer
in distance than the old ' st$gc road
that runs right over that elevation.
Col. Gardccr and his assistant en
gineer, Mr. R. J. Latta, will remain
,iere a few days engaged in making
UJ their estimates, after which they
will wait until about the first of Sep
tember before beginning t i locate t fic
tile route upon which the road will
ie constructed. Mr. Best informed
s, a month a?o, that he would build
the road and have the cars running
from Salisbury to Goldsboro in less
than eighteen months. We sincerely
hope that he may not be di&appoint-
Coal Mine Sold.
The Raleigh News and Observer
states that Mr. L. J. Haughton,of this
county, has sold his coal mine at ihe
uuii, tor tne sum of $30,000, to
JNoi tnern capitalists.
T T
Good Templars' Meeting.
We are requested to announce that
the Grand Lodge of the Good Tem
plars in JNorth Carolina will meet at
Clayton, on the 16th day of this
month. Reduced fares on the rail
roads have been secured for delegates
wno may attend.
Election Returns.
As this paper is printed at noon to-
.day (Thursday), while the election
as in progress, it is imposssible to
announce the result, but in our next
issue will be published the election
returns of every township in the
county and the general result in the
State.
Watermelons.
Always "at election time" water
melons are plentiful, and in former
days it was customary for the candi
dates to "treat" with them, but
now every man must pay for his
melon. A great many have been
brought here during the past two
days, and the mouths of the irrepress
ible "small boy" and colored brother
are dripping with their juice. As
the fruit crop was very generally
killed in this county the watermelons
are enjoyed this year more than
usual.
Chatham Cattle.
We noticed six very fine beeves from
Chatham cauniy, being offered for sale in
iho market this morning. Raleigh Visitor
1st inst.
The Raleigh market has, for some
years past, been in great part sup
plied with Chatham beef. Droves of
cattle are frequently passing through
this place, on their way to Raleigh,
and some of our citizens make a regu
lar business of driving cattle to that
market. We are surprised that more
attention is not paid to this business
by our countymen, for the raising of
cattle in Chatham would no doubt
prove profitable. Our soil is well
adapted to the growth of grasses,
and cattle could be raised at a small
expense.
Magistrates5 Meeting.
The magistrates and county com
missioners held a joint meeting, on
last Monday, for the pmpose of levy
ing the county taxes for the ensuing
year.
On motion, it was resolved to lew
a tax of twenty-six cents on the 100
valuation of property, and seventy
eight cents or ih6 poll for ordinary
expenses, and a special tax of seven
cents on property and twenty-one
cents on the poll for paving the in
terest and one-tenth of the principal
of the bonds issued to build the new
court-house. This will mate pur to
tal State and county tax 73 cents on
the hundred dollars, and $2,21 on the
poll.
The county tax on all other sub
jects of taxation was levied the same
as is the State tax, except the tax on
marriage licens.es was placed at fifty
cents. '
Petitions were presented for build
ing bridges at Hackney's mill,
Green's mill and Moore's null.
On motion, the county commis
sioners were requested to make a re
port, as to the necessity and cost of
such bridges, to the next meeting of
the magistrates.
Commissioners' Meeting.
The county commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting on
last Monday and Tuesday. The fol
lowing accounts were audited, and

Raleigh Visitor: Two persons out
of ever' million of our population is
the average that are killed by light
uing strokes annually. This isn't a
very high rate, but the uncertainty
as to which two, makes it very tick

Fayetteville Examiner: Farmers in
the vicinity of Fayetteville complain
that the cotton crop has been at
tacked by a parasite which covers the
lower leaves of the plant, saps their
vitality, and causes them toldrop off.
It has made its appearance in many
places, but so far it3 ravages are not
sufficient to create much apprehen
sion. Montgomery Star: The heaviest
ran fell in lower part of Mt. Gilead
Township week before last that was
ever known in that section. It only

ling a cyclone in fury. A heavy wind
prostrated trees, fences, and straw

the storm.
Farmer and Mechanic: We know
one of the future statesmen of North
Carolino who wrote a speech in fa
vor of prohibition, and one against
it. He then tossed up a penny to
decide. It went for the "Wet" speech;
but his sweetheart put in a veto.
And yesterday he had both speechs
in his pocket. This is fact.

Lake, seven miles from Elizabeth
town, Bladen Co., N- C, is two miles
East of Cape Fear, ten miles in cir
cumference, ten or , twelve feet deep
and very clear. The bottom is white
sand. Fish abound. You can see
fish in their beds at the bottom.
The Lake never rises or falls much
by wet or dry weather. It has two
little outlets. The bottom of the
Lake is twenty or thirty feet above
the bottom of Cape Fear, and might
be turned into it."
Elizabeth City Economist: Master
Wm James, a Railroad employee,
brought to the Economist sanctum
yesterday, a genuine bull frog, with
six genuine legs. This country and
section and vicinity and county is
admirably adapted to the produc
tion of bull frogs; and it is really
singular that some enterprising man,
looking for a new industry, does not
turn his attention to bull frogs hatch
ing. An acre in bull frogs will pay
better than 20 acres in corn. We
are in earnest. It sounds funny but
its a fact. fuer6's xnore money in
bull frogs for a man that ain't
ashamed of his business than there
is in butchering, or anything else.
Lumberton Robesonian: A few
days ago a boy about six years of age,
son of Mr. Henry Barnes, living
on the "Broad Ridge," was sent
on an errand to a neighbor's house.
He stayed so long that search for
him was instituted when he was
found hanging to the limb of a large
pine tree about 20 feet from the
ground. When asked to descend
he declared that he could not and
the man who climbed the tree found
great difficulty in breaking his hold.
He could not account for being in
the tree; the only solution he could
give was that something cold seemed
to seize him around the waist and
the next thing he knew was that he
was up in the tree. . Persons who
examined the place Bay that the boy's
tracks seemed to have been made by
skipping or bounding. The boy has
been to town and has been examined,
but the above was all that could be
decided. Was it an eagle, or a bear,
or what was it?
Sad Drowning Case.
A telegram from Quebec, dated
August 1st., says:
Two danghters of Dr. South, of
Coteau du Lac, aged respectively
twenty and seventeen years, were
drowned on Saturday evening while
attempting to rescue their younger
gister, who got beyond her depth while
bathing. The latter was saved."

Mrs. Osgood! of Minot Centre,
Maine, deserves a paragraph. She is

She is a worker, had a pleasant face,

care of herself and little ones. She

day cut it herself and her onlj help
in storing it : was ljr children. She
has a farm of forty acres. She makes
twelve tons of hay alone. She can
cut either with the scythe or the ma
chine. Here is a lesson for the lazy
and the unthrifty.
Cured of Drinking.
"A young friend of mine was cured
of an insatiable thirst for liquor.
which had so prostrated him that he
was unable to do any business. He
was entirely cured by the use of Hop
Bitters. It allayed all that burning
thirst; took away the appetite for
liquor, made his nerves steady, and
he has remained a sober and steady
man for more than two years, and
has no desire to return to his cups; I
know of a numberof others that have
been cured of drinking by it."
