The animal dropped don suddenly while in the plow and before Mr. Miller could take off the harness the mnle was dead. Up to about the first of April the farmers were greatly exercised about the continued wet weather but since that time there has sel dom ever been a more suitable i?ea son for preparing the ground aud I'Uuting the crops. The outlook at present is bright. According to order of the Syn od Rt-v. it. Z. Johnston held a meet. !'iLr Monday night for the purpose t !iic:caii!g interest in Missions.

Lincoln paper mills are in a flourishing condition and are meeting with great success under the management of Messrs. W. & R. Tiddy. The same is true of the other paper mills of which these gentlemen are proprietors. These are perhaps the largest manufactur ing establishments in Lincoln coun ty and our people are proud of them. Last Friday, April 24th, the safe of the Newton post-office was robbed of about $125.00 and a num ber of registered packages the am ount ot which wa3 not known. Two strange young men suspected of the crime weie arrested in Charlotte last Tuesday. They were arrested at a hotel while in their room and were caught in the attempt at the time cf making counterfeit money. We have not learned the result o their trial. Box of Records llacel in (lie WhII of tue New I'res bj'terian Church The Trustees, not being able to secure a suitable corner stone in time, had a box made of lead used ou the tower of the court house, and requested the pastor to place in it such records as he deemed proper, and iuvite the congregation to as semble and see it placed in the wall. At 3 P. RL Tuesday, April 28, 1891, the service was conducted by the pastor. Eph. 2, S-22 was read. A roll of the officers of the church from its organization to the present was read, consisting of 8 Pastors (1803 1891) 15 Elders, 10 Deacons, and 3 Tr ustees. The roll of the present resident members is 79, nonresident 36. These rolls and a short account of the work on the new building were placed in the box with a copy of the Bible, Confessiou of Faith the roll of the Sunday School, and the last issuesof the North Carolina Presbyterian and the Lincoln CoUi rier. Prayer was offered by Rev J. W. SUer ot Shelby. Mr. Evans sealed the box and Mr. Wells, the contractor, enclosed it in the wall and the service closed with singing, "Here we raise our Ebenizer Hither by thy help we've come," Kelic of the Civil War. Dr. W. L. Grouse took a minnie bail from the back of William Critz at the Laboratory Wednesday of last week that he had been carrying for 28 years. The following particulars are tak en from a correspondence cf the Charlotte Chronicle : Lincolnton, N. C, April 27: W. 0. Critz of the Laboratory Cotton Mills, was iu town last Saturday, and drew from his pocket and ex hibited a relic of the late civil war iu the shape of a miuuie ball, which Dr. Crouse had extracted from his body a few days before. Mr. Critz received the ball in a cavalry ekirm ish near Orange C. H. Va., October 11th, 18G3; its force was broken aud his life prabable saved, by passing through a tent cloth he car ried on his shoulder at the time. When unfolded, the cloth revealed twenty three holes. The ball lodg ed under the shoulder blade, but had worked down about two inches below it, and was giving him paia Mr. Critz as a volunteer, j lined Capt. John Hill's company in Linjiength. We took notes during most colnton, iu 1861. He carried this 0f his speech but as we published paiufut reminder of the skirmish in his flesh for. twenty eight years- A Card of Thanks. The ladies of Lincolnton, who an ranged the parsonage household goods and supplied the table with so many wholesome things to eat, previous to our arrival last Satur day will please accept our siucere thanks, The elegant dinner that awaited us at Bro. Johu Detter's and the hearty welcome given us by his family and others, had tilled our .'hearts with inexpressible gratitude. J. F. Austin and Family. Ageof3Irs. Weaver. For the Courier. Mr. Editor. The age of Mrs. Weaver whose obituarj- you printed last week has caused some comment and criticism. This has arisen from the fact that! i no record has been kept by which her age can be established. Mrs. Weaver iu her last illness, as well as upon former occasions, told me her age when she was mar ried which was twentycfive yeara when she was twenty-six years old; also that her birth.day was Christ mas day. These are incidents that no one is likely to forget. Her old est child Mrs. Alexander of Cleve land county gave me her age at the death of her mother of which she has a record ; and her age was sev- enty eight years ten months and a few days. Now if we put seventy eight jears and ten mouths to twenty-six j'ears and four months we have 105 years and two months: her age, Mr.". Tutheiow died a lew years ago, by tbu statement, at the age of li2 years and her brother and my grandfather at the age of ninety-nine years. There is no means of getting the exact date ex cept as stated above of Mrs. Weaver W. L. Crouse. BE TEURKLL L LI X COLXTO.V. Speech Well received by Alli aiicemeii ami Xon-AIII-auceiueu. One of the fiuest, fairest and ablest speeches ever delivered to the peo pie ot this couuty ou Alliance ques tions was spoken here last Saturday by Ben Terrell, of Texas. The court bouse was crowded with farmers, merchants, doctors, lawyers and with persous of all classes aud pro fessions from all parts of the couuty aud many from surrounding couu ties. The speaker was introduced by Maj. Graham in a few appropriate remarks. He said the Alliance bad received more criticism thau almost auy other institution and many times by well meaning people who did it through ignorance of what the Alliance is. The speaker whom he was about to introduce had joined the Alliance in its infancy aud he named a number ot positions of trust which he had held. Mr. Terrell assured his audience iu the outset that be was not here to appeal to prejudices but to dis cuss questions of importance to the whole peopie. He invited criticisms and said if you have a demand that cannot stand criticism it should be abandoned. He wanted criticism however, to apply to measures and not to men. What has a man's character to do with Alliance ques tions? He dwelt at some length on tne point that the object of the farmers' movement was to educate the people on economic questions. They want to build up, not tear down. He said if you call it politics to oppose measures involving ques ticns pertaining to economic ques tions, call it such if you like. But he told the Alliance people that they had no right to nominate or endorse any man for office. The Alliance does not want to have to resort to a third party ; but it would welcome a third party to-morrow, if neither of the old parties will do what the Al liauce wauts. The fact, he said, that to say a measure is undemoi cratic or that it is not republican, does not cut any figure with the AN liance. He spoke of the extent of their order and said by next De cember every southern, western and eastern state would be organized. He said he noticed in the papers considerable discussion as to what is the full meaning of the instruct ions to Senator Vance, The Alli ance is not wedded to any partieu lar bill. If Senator Vauce will get up a better bill the Alliance will thauk him for it. Mr. Terrell dis cussed the sub-treasury plan at some last week a very extended summary of'his discourse delivered at Con cord, we deem it unnecessary to add more here. The speech astound on outside of last week's Courier is on the sameline as delivered here. It was upon the whole a telling speech and was received with great tavor. We heard a number ot in telligent farmers and others, not members of the Alliance, speak in terms ot highest praise ot the lec ture. Such speeches as this are calculated, not ouly to increase the membership of the Alliance, but to enlighten the people on questions that tbey ought to know more about and that have been too much neg lected. Whatever will put the mass es of the American people to think ing is bound to bring about good results. We were delighted to hear the lecturer censure those who are inclined to crush out those who take issue with the Alliance on certaiu measures and offer opinions differ ent from others. He insisted on a thorough ventilation of all public questions and said this could be beet done by discussion. We believe the lecture has wrought great good in this community, Death of Ir. 1". !W, CJarretl. Dr. FianmM. Garrett died at his home at Littleton, Harnett Co., last Friday morning, after a loDg illness. Dr. Garrette is well knowu in this section and leaven several brothers and sisters who are honored citizens of this town and county. Dr. Garrett moved to Kings Mountain iu 1881 aud he gave his attention to the development of his tin property. All Healing Springs. King's Mountain JS'tics. Inciter from Arkansas. Lincoln Courier : I will give you a few dots from this part of the country. Warm weather. Pleuty of rain. Wheat looks fine. Cotton planting is in proie.. There were eight persous bit by a mad cat a tew weeks ago, aud one little girl by a mad ca'f. The farmers are planting more corn this year than they did last. I say hurrah for them. The farmers are geuerally up with their work. I was boru iu North Brook town ship, Lincoln couuty, N. C, and moved trom there in 1881 to Browns town, Sevier Co., Ark. Sevier coun ty is beautifully situated about 000 feet above the sea level. It has fine land, fine forests, and good water. And good school?, good churchep, and good moral people. It is a rate thing to see a man drunk. There isu't a saloon in the couuty and the nearest one is ten miles off Wishiug success to the COURIER 1 will close. School Boy. Browustowu, Ark., April 20, '91. From Trinity. The Sunday School was organiz ed at Trinity last Sunday, M. M. Lutz, Snpt. We wish it success. The Commuuion meeting will be held at Trinity the 3rd Sunday in May, and a preparatory service will be given on Saturday previous, by Rev. J. A. Rudisill. Mr. Laban Rudisill had the mis fortune to lose his mare. He went out one morning last week to plow, and while plowing, the mare drop ped dead. We were all sorry to hear ot it, as this is a very busy season of the year. It is now thought by some promi nent citizent of this county, that the place known as Hog Hill will before mauy years be the garden spot of North Carolina. Hog Hill is noted for its health and delicious fruits. There cau be as many kinds of veg etables and fruits raised on Hog Hill as auy other place in the State ot North Carolina. There were a good many of the Alliance brothers from around Trin ity in Lincolnton last Saturday to hear the speech given by Mr. Ters rell. They were all pleased very well. Trinity weather prophet says tnere.is going to be a dry summer this year. He has not yet planted his crop. More anon. April 28, '91 T. L mi Death ol Count Von Jlolthe. tJERLIN, April 24.
