The truth of the matter is that tho Saint was especially desir ous of selecting a pleasing gift and ho could think of nothing moro appro priate than a pair of our Fine Shoes. Of course the messenger will be promptly admitted, and of course the young lady, every time she looks at the shoos, will wish tho day came ouoo a mouth instead of onoo a year. A. IS.

Those of our citizens who feel an interest, one way or another, In the proposed charter amendments, should attend tho mass meeting to be held at the opera house to-night The Tar Heel Minstrels are to give a concert In Ca ton's Hall, in Concord to-morrow night.

Ale TitH AMENDMENT AQlTATHn. Some el theOppouent ! the JIcn. are end their Ideas The ITIeet tu; To-Night at the Opera Ilouae. The Niws regrets to seo evidences of bad feeling on each side lu regard to the proposed charter amend ments. The advocates of the meas ure are progressive men and loyal to the interests of Charlotte, but they are not more so than are the oppo nents of the measure. Surely one side has as much a right to its opin ion as another, and neither should lose Its temper. This is a question that can he discussed freely and openly, and we suggest that it Is not good taste to stigmatize the antl amendment element as moss-backs and croakers, simply because they d lifer with the city government on the propriety of having the amend ments passed at the present time, Among those opposed to the amend ments Id the shape proposed are Mr. H. Baroch, Mr. W. W. Ward, Col. R. M. Oates, Mr. M. P. Pegram, Mr. J. R. Holland, Mr. C. N. G. Butt,Mr. a Wlttkowsky, Mr. John E. Oates, Mr. D. W. Oates, Mr. John M. Oates, Mr. Jaa. H. Carson, Cant A. G. Brenlzer. Mr, C. Scott, CoL Jno. L. Morchoad, Mr. H. G. Springs, Mr. II. C. Ecclos, Dr. Jno. H. McAden, Mr. Jno. W. Miller, Mr. T. R. Magill, Mr. J. C. Burroughs, aud a great many other men of equal standing Id the com munity. All of these a-e men of en terprise and progressive ideas. In conversing with the opponeuts of the proposed amendments, Tim Nkwh gathers that the opposition is not so much against improvement as to the manner in which it i gen erally understood the amendmcntB are drawn. The opposition Is mainly to the bond amendment, tireat mauy have an idea that the water works and electric lights are to be bought as they are, and uro opposed to the movement on that account. Others think that the city has enough r n Its hands as matters now stand and are flat footed In their opposition to open ing a wsy for Increasing the bonded debt at present. They hold that no necessity for such an issuance -of bonds is likely toooour wit.iin the next two years, and if, at that time, there Is any need for them, the Leg islature can then lie called upoi to make the desired amendment. In view of the Interest excited In the matter, it would be well for all, pros and cons alike, to attend the meetingat the opera house to-night, and hesr the matter discussed in all its bearings. It is always well for both sides to bo heard aud have a full undvrMtaudin on in.itters of this kind. Thr Tttnb'ri. of ihr Tkrrr i n.

There is a "fake" going about in Mecklenburg getting up notes. He applied at one of the Charlotte banks last week wl th a whole stock of notes and asked the bank if they were good The cashier told him that they were on some of oar responsible men. The whole thing is told In a special from Spartanburg to the Atlanta Consti tution, the parties mentioned being the same who operated here: Some two weeks ago four gentlemen ap peared in this city, calling them selves Fletcher & Co., manufacturers and patentee of the champion combi nation s!at and wire fence. They wanted to establish a branch house here, In pursuance of which idea they aold out and perfected arrange ments with Mr. Robert Miller, the manager of tho Spartanburg Con struction Company. To Mr. MUler, Fletcher & Co.sold fo $125tbo right to make their fence, taking for payment his note aud a contract, the note to be paid lu six moulhf, and the con tract staling that no payment should be made except from profits arising from the sale of fencing. Itwaslike wi8o understood that Fletcher A Co. should establish agencies for tho sale of the materiels manufactured byMMleriu every township In the county. These agents alsa gave notes with contracts like the one with Mr. M!l!er. Thus far, every thing went as merry as a marriage bell, and the age n is thought they had a "snap" by which they had they would acquire great possession bands over fist. This morning some developments have come to light which bid fair to knock their bright anticipations In to a cocked bat It seems, after se curing the notes of men in every township, some of whom were very prominent citizens, Fletcher struck out the enacting clause of the notes, by detaching from them the con tracts which recited that payment was to be ruado from profits from the agent. Having thus provided him self with a bundle of negotiable pa pers, :etciier went to tne national and the Merchants' and Farmers' hanks and sold some of the notes. The notes were on good men, and the banks were anxious to get their pa per. So they bought freely at a rea sonable discount. The rest of the notes Fletcher sold to prominent merchants in the city, one of whom was Mr. A. G. Floyd, who is well known through the country. When a!l his arrangements had boen per fected Fletcher aud compauy skip ped the town aud have not been heard from since. The transaction begins to have au ugly aspect, and all parties want Fletcher in pretty much the same way In which the Texan wanted his gun. 1 -ru p.Tical Vyr lepcd ia.
