NEED OF A COTTON BUYER, The Dressing need of Newton,! right now, is a cotton buyer to complete with the cotton mills. Since the late J. R. Gaither retired from the market a few years ago there has been no independent cotton buyer a in Newton. Up to this year' the mills have been paying pretty nearly the same as the Charlotte market, but have generally been a quarter of a cent or so behind some of the other towns in this section. This was on account of a lack of competition. This year the effort of the mills and the gins of Newton to force farmers to sell cotton a naif tp a whole cent under the price taveu in other places is proving injurious tn. tho town. The merchants should, withou delav. nut a cotton buyer in Newton. There is no reason why cotton should stand at 10 cents a pound in Newton when it is bringing 11 cents all around us The cotton raised In uatawba is of the same quality as that raised all over this Piedmont section. In speaking about the factories we ought to make this one ex ception, The Catawba Mills make a fine grade of yarn and use the long staple of the South and do not buy cotton raised in this section. Mountain Creek News. Correspondence of The Enterprise. Mountain Creek, Dec. 3. We are pained to learn of the death of two of Mountain Creek s most worthy citizans. Viz., Mrs. Jane K. Howard an aged widowed lady died at her home near Mt, Pleasant Saturday night' Dec. 1. She was run over sometime ago by a cow and received internal injuries from which she did not recover. Also Air, ijmnp u Drum of Drumeville, died Satur day night of same date, having been very ill for a little over two weeks with typhoid fever, com plicated with some other dis eases. Mr. Drum and Mrs. Howard have a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss and obsence- May the God of love and mercy comfort the bereaved and sorrowing rela tives. Friends, may these dis pensations of providence serve to solemnizs our minds and prepare us all for better living. Mrs. Howard will be buried at Mt, Pleasant, Dec. 3rd an eleven p. m. We presume that Rev. Moalin, will be present and officiate, Mr, Drum we learn will be entered the same day at 10 o'clock p. m. at Pisgah, Now boys, Christmas is com ing. How are you going to ceiebrate the gift of Go to man, Are you going to ceiebrate it with whiskey in your stomachs, and pistols in your pockets? Boys, don't do that. Quit this heathenish way of doing things and be somebody. There never has been better opportunities for young men to get an education and make something out of themselves than is now offered you. Will you quit taking les sons from the devil and avail yourselves of the golden oppor tunities. Horse stealing for temporary use still obtains. Three horses have thus been appropriated recently, Mr. Rumy Harwell's horse being the last victim. It is said that Rumy shouted over the matter, but not for joy. We suspect that if Rumy had seen the rogue taking this horse the other fellow would have done the shouting, Mr. F. A. Eckard is at home for a few days visiting his par ents, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hannoff, of Charlotte, Miss Flossie Lippard, who has been visiting her brother, Mr. T, E. Lippard will return to her home in Alexander Dec. 3d K K A TIT 1 m ivir. Andrew wnson 01 near Newton has been stopping over at Mr, E. D- Gamble's a few days last week selling horses.

When Mr, Killian saw he had lost control of the horses he en deavored to get out of the back of his wagon, and in so doing was thrown to the ground, the horses coutinuing their mad career until they ran into the large tree near Mr, Geo. W. Cockran's house Mr, Killian was taken into a near by house and Dr, Yount hastily summoned. The doctor found two ribs broken on the left side, a cut on his forehead, which drawn together with one stitch, also one lower eyelid torn, so as to require four stitches to hold it in place, Miss Anna Killian soon reached town from her home and had her father remov ed to the Piedmont Hotel, where every thing was done for his comfort. On Tuesday afternoon Mr, Killian was placed on a cot and takeD in an easy wagon to his home in the country, accom panied by his son Yates. We trust it will not be long before we again see Mr. Killian's gen eral face on the streets.
