TEX TIIOUS.lXl) DOLLAK HOTEL. Elucolutoii to the Front- According to previous announce ment, the citizens of Lincolnton met in the Couit House last Tues day night for the purpose of taking steps towards erecting a large new hotel in our town. The followiug citizens were present : Haj. H. V. Burton, Rev. R. Z. Johnstou, A. Nixon, Sheriff, J no. L. Cobb, W. W. Motz, Dr. W. L. Ciouse, Hufch Jeukins, Oliver Ram saur, B. O. Wood, W. T. Massey, Maj. J. (J. Cobt), B. C. Cobb, II E. Ramsaur, Dr. J. M. Pressley, R. S. Edwards, C. P. Miller, J. M. Rob erts. Mr. V. A: McBee had author ized Maj. Cobb to say that he could Dot attend tbe meeting but that he was heart and hand with the move ment and that he would do his part. The meeting was called to order by electing Maj. H. W. Burton pres ident and J. M. Roberts, Secretary. After some discussion as to the best methods of proceedure, the fol lowing resolution were unanimous ly adopted : Resolved 1. That we (the citizen) agree to foiin a joint stock com pauy for the purposo of erecting n hotel in Liucolnton, N. O., with a capital stock of 810,000, with the privilege of rainiug to $20,000, eaeh share to be $100. Resolved 'J. That a Committee ol five be appointed to cauvanH and report lo subsequent uieetiug as to what propei ty can be purchased foi a hotel site and ou what terms. The following is the Committee ; Dr. W. L. Croupe, A. Nixon, Shff., W. T. Massey, O. A. Ramsaur, Jno. L. Cobb, and ujkhi motion, the chairman, Maj. li. W. Burton, was added to (tie committee. Thewuoject of ottering induce ments to have a bank establish! d here was then taken up, and a let ter from Mr. J. W. Boring, of John ston, Teiin-, to Maj. J. C Cotb was read before tbe me ting, in which letter Mr. Boring spoke very favoi ably ot Lincoluton, intimating that if proper inducements were offered he would decide to establish a bank at Lincoluton. Tbe following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That it is the feeling ol this meetiug that Mr. J. W. Boring be relieved from corporation tax one year, and that a building suita ble for a- bank be furnished one year free of rent, provided he es tablish a bank at Liucolnton, N. C The foregoing is the principal work accomplished at the meeting. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings that has been held heie for many a day, and the greatest harmony prevailed throughout. Ev erybody was united on the objec to be accomplished aud intensely anxious that the proper steps be taken. By reference to tbe names of those preseut it will be seen that the meeting was composed of the leading citizens and property own ers of the town. Several others who were unable to attend on ac count of sickness and other hinder, ances are friends to the movement Indeed, we believe that there is not a single citizen, who is not heartily in sympathy with the movement and who is ready to do all he caD for its success. The spirit of progress is abroad in our town and the time is come when lethargy will be unknown in her midst. Our town ha? a n amber ot substantial men and when they do move, they move steadily and surely. The building of a fine hotel here will be oue of thy most valuable public enterprises that can be es tablished. It will be a blessing to the town and to tbe entire county It will give a market to tbe farmer for such farm, orchard and garden products as they have in a great measure been unable to sell hereto fore ; for it will bring hundreds ol visitors here every year who will nave to be fed. We would call therefore, upon the citizens of the country, to lend a helping hand to this undertaking. Jb or neaitntulness, Liucolnton is- positively unsurpassed in the State It is absolutely nee from malarial troubles. This tact is becoming widely known, and the only thing necessary to fill the town with vis ltors is to prepare to give them the proper accommodations. Onward with the wheels of prog ress ! Paper- Mill Items. ED. Courier Some sickness in this section. Mrs. Susan Reynolds, aged Gl years, died the 22nd inst. with ty phoid fever. May the angelic choir sing peace to her in the realms of endless day. In the manufacturing line the Lincoln Paper Mills stand second to none in the scale of importance and general good to the country.

Tho benevos lent proprietor and manager of the mills, Mr. W. Tiddy, is loved and respected by his hands.

When the Criminal Court opened this morning the whole sidewalk and lobby of the court house was crowded with a dense throng of white and black people anxious to obtain admission to witness the trial of Dr. T.

Each juror as called was examined by the Court. One man was accepted, who paid he had expi eased an opinion but did not bold it now ; another was rejected because he had served on a coiouei's jury. Tbe State ex hausted its peremptory challenges ou J. M. Morris and James Sures cott, both colored men. The deten dant ch dienged only nine and sue ceeded 111 getting ajuiy ccmposed of 7 negroes and 5 bite men. THE CASE OPENED. After excluding tbe witnesses from the court house, the case was opened. Iu the meantime, the pus oner was taken from the dock and allowed to sit by his counsel. The presence of seven negroes on the jury is taken as an indication by a good many people here that the prisoner will get off. There are upwards of 40 witnesses yet to be examiued. TIIE BCAULliy.

The consternation among the ne groes was indescribable, as tbe pur suers dashed through the countiy, across cotton fields, and over fences, shouting, "The bear 1 the bearl look out for the bear !" Darkies were seen fleeing for their lives three miles in tbe opposite direction to this Ursus Major. About three nvles this side of Rock Hill, the noble animal turned to bay and to fight. Hounds were slapped over promiscuously. Hunt" ers were firing incessantly.

All the local physicians met accidentally at tha Benford street hospital last night. They represented all parts of the stricken city, aud after dis cussing the calamity joined in the conclusion that not les than 10,000 people were lost iu the flood. On account of tbe general kuowledge of the people possessed by the phy sicians, the estimate is looked upon as reliable.
