Iu our little brief "write up" last week, the type made us say ''there is not a desirable dwelling house io town," when the word "va cant" should have -been priated be fore "dwelling house.'' The bill introduced by Mr. Paine to change chapter 17, laws of 1881, incorporating Tucker's Grove Camp Ground- in Liucoln county, was amended so as not to cloa6 any licensed store within the territory, and passed third reading. A colored section nand -was killed on life C. C railroad between Wilmington and CronJey's last Fri day by an.eastbouu'd freight train.

Beam, of Cherryville, a few weeks ago purchased the Buffalo Shoals iu Cleveland county, for $2,300-; and a Btock' company has been formed and ,they; will at an early day have a cotton factory iu operation at that place. We believe the members of the .Farmers' Alliance are, for the uiosc parr, a leading people .ana the Courier is grateful to its many fiiends amoug them for their pat rouage. One of tbe purposes of that organization is to encourage education and intelligence and it is accomplishing great good in thai directiou.

Gaston county is having a lively time over the subject of prohibition. Two petitions have been circulated, the one for, and the other against prohibition, aud both' are said to have a large number of signatures. The petitioue are to go to the Leg islature aud are touching the ques tion of holding an election ou pro hibition in Gaston county. Judging from the number on the petition the county is pretty evenly divided on the subject. Two little children of a section hand ou the C. C. Railroad,between Shelby and Rutherfordton, were playing on the track last Friday morning, in a deep cut near a enrve when the nassenerer train came upon them. One of the xjbildreu stepped off but the other started to run on the road and the train came up on it before the engineer could sop. Tbe child was struck by the pilot aud severely injured, but later intelligence is to the effect that the child- will live. . Mr. B. C. Wood, our worthy Register of Deeds, and Capt, G. E. Childs, our esteemed Clerk of 3: Court, are all smiles this week. They have had furnished to their offices some handsome furniture in the shape of tables and desks. We have no time to describe them, but they are. certainly convenient and handsome pieces of furnitnre, and the above named officers have rea sons to be'glad J and nobody has any right to blame them If their gladness does creep out and show itaelt in their countenances. y Cherryville is to have a cotton mill. Already half the stock neces. sary has been secured. Mauney Bros., of King'a Mountain, are be hind the movement, and that means success. Mr. S S. Maaney, Cherryi viil has the subscription list, aud will be glad to take any eubscrip-. tions from those who desire to en tourage the enterprise. It will be a good investment for the stock hold ers aud give employment to thotje seeking labor. By all means, let the good works go on in Gaston until we spiu and weave all our cot ton at- home Dallas Eagle. The editor of the CoUBIER has purchased a. lot ou the S. E.. corner of Congress and Poplar Streets, near tbe residence of R. Z. Johnston. A bill of Lumber has already been given to the lumber men and work will soon be begun on the resi dence. We hope, therefore, every one iudebted to the Courier will call to see us as you knot? it re quires money to build. We feel that the LINCOLN COURIER is a permanent, institution and we are grateful to our many friends for the encouraging patronage we have so far received at their hands. The wedding at Washington of Mhs Florence Cooper, a niece of Mrs. Vance, aud Charles Manley Basbee, of North Cars olina, was one of the prettiest home weddings of the season. The bride was attended by Miss Sallie Badsrer Hoke as maidofhonor, who wore a gown of white fiiUle The bridesmaids were Miss Norris, Miss Justice, Miss Maud Weller, Miss Mary Bullock, Miss Nancy Bowles and Miss Helen Fowle. Theodore Davis, AttorneysGeneral of North Carolina, was best man. The ' bride and bridegroom left Washington that evening lor a wed' ding journey North, and will make Sanitary Lotion. Thii never fails. Sold by J. il. La wing Druggist Lincolnton, N. C. Oapialu vk Captain. Considerable fxri'ement was ere ateel in town Wednesday f this week, by a difficulty which orcurtd between Capr. B. F. Gn'g Capt. E. W. Ward, of this place, in which the science of pugilism was put iulo lively practice for some little time. The peisou refeired to have uot been friendly for some time, and it seems that the lwo gentlemen met in the middle of the sidewalk goiug iu opposite dueci tions and neither bewg willing to give way to the other they, as a natural consequence, collided and this produced both superficial and internal frictiou causing an overflow of pent up anger , which resulted in a fight. Capt. Ward's eon came up and took his father's part, but all were separated before any seri ous damage was doae, savo that of bruises. The friends of both par- ties very much regret the unfortun ate occurence. How Mauy llalea Ginned. Last week we made request to know how many bales of cotton have been bonght in ihe county. We also ask the ginners to give the number of bales that have been ginned m the county this season. We hope our friends will furnish us with this information ou a postal card. or otherwise. liincolntoii Has Three cotton factories in auduear town. One wool factory. One foundry and machine shop.

Worlick tells us he has be came a public servant, he has lately moved to and taken charge ot his father's mill. By the way it is one among the oldest mills iu the coun ty. The miller says he noticed on the husk frame a few days ago, the initials of two men, D. W. and P. W with the year 1810 carved. The mill has always bad a good reputa tion when it had a good miller. We would apeak for the miller, from the public, hia share of patroooge when you go to mill; And he has moved his broom factory with him, so when uot employed In grinding he is busilv engaged making brooms. We have tried his brooms and know they are gcod aud sub stantial. Thanks to him for one as a present it was not a holiday present but we will use it just tbe same, he wants his friends to raise all the broom corn they can, he will make it up at lOcts. a broom (if the tariff don't get too high), or he will pay octs a pound for good bright cured brush with about three inch es of stalk with brush.
