T. Hill, of Statesville, who had been on a visit to the family of Mr. B. O. Wood and other relatives aud friends in this county for a few weekt, left on their return home last Saturday. Some of our correspondents are carrying their discussion of chickens, other animals &c, a little too far and we ask pardon for not publishing anything further on the line aud for omitting several com, mumcations this week, Last Friday a man by the name of Cannon at Lowells stole Mr. Ilicksou's litue eleven year old girl. Sueriff Shuford was after htm day aud uight until Sunday night, wheu he found him near Gastonia. The child says he want ed her to marry him Caunou is now in Dallas j Ail. We publish a resolution passed by the people of Greensboro, through a committee, exonerating Evangelist Fife from a very slander oar report which has gotten out all over this and other states. It is not our business tc defend or accuse Mr. Fife or any one else touching this ugly matter, but we do think it is hard for au innocent man to suf- fer such accusations. Wheu any one starts out such a report on any man be uhould know whereof he speaks, Died at the residence of Capt. V. A. McBee, of this place- last Wednesday, Jane 24, 1891, Mrs. Mary Estelle Sutton, wife of Prof. Silas MclJee, aged about 37 years. Mrs. McBee has been confined to her bed lor a loug time with cout sumption, and all hopes, therefore, of her recovery had long since been abandoned. She was a native of Mississippi. She was the mother of six children, three of whom are now liviug. Mrs. McBee was an en tunable lady, and a member of the Episcopal church. Her remains were buried at the Episcopal ceme tery at C P. M., Thursday, Rev. W. R. Wetmore conducting the services. 5IuMonle Day at IilMCOlnton. Wednesday of this week was a bright day for the Masons of Lin coln to ti Lodge. The morning trains brought in delegates Irom Shelby, Newton, Hickory, Denver and Gas tonia. The delegates were met at tlie depot by the Lincolnton Lodge, and escorted lo the Court Honse. The exercises were conducted by Maj. II. W. Button, Master of Lin coluton Lodge, who requested Rev. J. L. Murphy, of LTickory Lodge, to lead in prayer. The installation of the officers of Lincolntou Lodge for the coming year was then conduct ed by L. M. Tottea of Hickory. The officers ere as follows : H. W. Bur ton, Master, A. Nixon, Senior War den, B. C- Cobb, Junior Warden, C Motz, Treas-. R. S..Reinhardt, Sec, B. O. Wood, S. A. Sain, Marshalls, Wm. Holly, J. 0. Quickie, Stewards, L. Hoyle, Tiler. B. C. Cobb, Es. then introduced Hon, J. L. Webb of Shelby who de livereel the Auuiversary address. Mr. Webb spoke ot the organization of Lincoluton Lodge in 1851 by Augustus Burton, aud of the grat itude he felt for his invitation to be present on the occasion. After the introductory remarks, the speaker proceeded to discuss the benefits andobjects of, Free Masonry, and give reasons why Masoury is a se cret organization. He closed this speech with a handsome tribute to the ladies, who the speaker said were not admitted to menbership, but who ever have a friend and sup port in every true and worthy ma-, son every one who lives up to the four cardinal virtures of Masonry Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance, and Justice. Mr. Webb is a forcible speaker, and his effort gained for him hearty applause. The visiting Masons were enter tained at dinner at the Lincoluton Hotel by the home lodge. This has pleasantly- begun another year of Masonay for Lincolnton Lodge No. 137. . Judge Hoke's Speech Appre ciated. We were very anxious to publish Judge Hoke7s speech delivered at the soldier's banquet recently, but as the speech was almost wholly ex temporaneous, it was impossible for us to get it for publication. The following, which was received too late for last week's issue, explains itself- Ajbhory or Southekn Stars, June 15, 1891. SIR : At a meeting of the South ern Stars held in their armory this inst. it was unanimously resolved, 1. That the sincere thanks of the Company be tendered the Hon. W A. Hoke for his interesting, appro priate and patriotic address deliv ered on the occasion of the reunion of the Southern Stars and Veterans held on the anniversary of the Bat; tie of Bethel, the 10th inst.; 2. That the secretary of the Com pany deliver a copy of these resolu tions to Hon. W. A. Hoke and re quest a copy ot his address for pub lication. Permit me sir, iu apprising you of the action of the Company, to ex press the earnest hope that you will comply with its wishes. With great respect, A. Nixon, Sec. June 17, 1891. To Mr. A. Nixon, Sec, Lincoluton, North Carolina. My Dear Sir : Yours of the fif teenth inst. containing the resolu tions of the "Southern Stars'1 in ref erence to my address received. 1 sincerely thank both you and the company for the resolutions and the kindly terms in which they are ex pressed. For awhile I desired and intended to comply with your request, but the speech was not committed to writing and being doubtful if I could reproduce it entirely as delivered, I deem it better not to make the ef fort. Assuring you and each of you of my continued and kiudly regards, I remain, Very sincerely yours, W. A Hoke. To The Inl3lle. Whereas, rumors have been put afloat here and elsewhere, intended to affect the christian character aud usefulness of the Evangelist W. P, Fife just upou the eve ot the meet ings iu this city, which has been done by evil and designing persons; aud whereas, the committee having in charge the said meeting, have (in two meetings) had a number o! letters and testimony exonorating him from all such charges, and his open and full information of the cir enmstances in the case, corroborated by a gentlemau in person, who knows all the parties; now there tore, be It Resolved, That we are clearly of the opinion, that the charges and rumors are wholly without the (slightest foundation, and we shall hold up his hands, by our prayers and bid him God speed in the good work, not only here, but wherever his lot may be cast, in the Master's work. J. S. Hunter, Chairman, . W. S. Moore, J. H. Lacy, S. H. Hilliard, W. P. Beall, S. L. Alderman, E. P. Wharton, E. L, Stamey, F. H. Cota, Committee. Greensboro Daily Record. jLowesville Letter. Ed. Courier: Mr. A. W. L. Hager, of Hager's, killed a hawk in his dining room last week. It caught a chicken iu the yard and In trying to escape with it flew into the room and perched upon the mantle. While Mr, H. A. Gilleland was relating the fact at church Svnday, Mr, J. D Davis said it reminded him of one that flew into Mr. Jas. Nixon's kitchen while Mrs. Nixon was pre paring dinner one day, only it was not so cunning as this one, for it looked around and seeing itself in a trap, actually flew out at the stove pipe. The question with us is how it got into the pipe. We have beard it saidthat there could be found a use for everything in this world, but to what use your correspondent thinks we could put the dead mares he is so fearful wh will want, is mere than we can im agine. It is too late in the season to want them for compost.' We might utilize a few just now in drag ging them through our cottou to kill grass. Beyond that we have no earthly use for them. No, no, have no fear; we do not want them, "Friend." "We know, Mr. Editor, that we are a booby, and our benighted mind has been under a heavy cloud of doubt aud discord, but we are taking some comfort now from the fact that we have relieved our friends ot Joe's old field of the "Boogar." It is a great relief to the "Boogar'' itself, from the fact that it can now get some fresh air, as the "wilderness'' directly south of there had become so dense air could not freely pass. We suspect the "Boogar" was frightened almost to death wheu your correspondent proi posed that subject for discussion to the Oak Forest Society. Said socie ty being in the heart of Joe's old field. A "reliable gentleman told us said society raised such a howl of indignation as never was heard there before, and the hills and hola lows caught the echo and the "Boo gar became fearful in his lair and hied himself away. He was seeu floundering in the grass near the Ferry road next morning aud has not beeu seen near there since. Wise "Boogar" he is. Your Triangle cor respondent reminds ns ot au old la dy of whom we once read, She was eternally jumping at conclusions, by inference, and without due con si d- eration, much to the annoyance of her husband. He determined to show her her fault, aud accordingly one day he came rushiug into the house with arms akimbo, exclaim ing, "Wife, WIPE, WIFE, the cow has eaten up the grindstone," She sprang to her feet, exclaiming, "I told yon so, you should have put it where she could not have gotten at it" The human mind is truly wonder ful, and 8traog6; indeed, are its wonderings. H. W. reckons the chicken cholera is contracted by gettiug their feet damp, and Uoole Joe is certain the only cause of this malignant, disease is casting stones at them. And then H. W.'s mind, in its search tor information, hit the idea that we should change our name, but fails to display any con siderable knowledge of ortbogra phy. There, now, H. WM consult your dictionary before you again ply as critic. Yoor lesson on punctuation is timely, Mr. Editor, and if you will now give ns a lesson on bow we can tell when we begiu a sentence, It will give us information that we very much. need. Mr. W.J. Nance found a cotton bloom on 21st inst. Mr. W. Uenkel left for Asbeville to-day. Yours for success. Bill Shaxks. You must complete one sentence before you begin another. A seu tence, you know, must have at least one subject and one predicate, but you can hang on to these at will quite a number of clauses, phrases, and modifying words. The leading idea to be expressed, however, is m the subject and predicate and ob ject and the writer should take care not to get too many of these subor dinate parts "tangled op" with the leading thought. It is easier to know when you begin a sentence than it is to know when you should end it. Our correspondent, howev er, has it seems, little trouble in knowing how to begin and end his sentences as he has less of the faults to which we referred than many others have. Ed,J Weekly Weather Ciop Bulletin. Central Office, Raleigh, N. O. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletir. issued by the North Carolina Ex periment Station and State Weatbh er Service for the week ending Frr day, June 19, 1891, show that the weather daring the entire week has been the most favorable experienced for a long time. The temperature has been considerably in excess, sunshine abundant, and towards the latter part of the week occasional showers have prevailed - generally. In consequence crops have made marked improvement. Grass is getting under control somewhat, though still very abundant. The wheat harvest now progressing has prevented farmers from devoting much time to the cultivation 6: crops. Farm labor is reported dif ficult to obtain. Of crops generally, cotton snows the least improvement; it is not all chopped yet, and stand continues poor. Tobacco has made a fine start. The wheat harvest will probably be completed next week; the yield will be a good average and of excellent quality. Another favorable week will enable farmers to bring their work nearly up to date, and will give a better outlook to the crop prospects. The condi tion of crops averages about the same now in all districts. Western District. Dallas, Gasi ton county Wheat about, all In shock, some good, some bad and some betweeu. Excellent week to kill grass. Danbnry, Stokes coun ty Corn is badly in the grass. Lin colnton, Lincoln county What harvest about au average crop. Corn and cotton late and not well worked. Old Fort, McDowell coun ty Everything growing rapidly, including weeds and grass. Asheo ville,Buncombe county Dry weathi er most desirable for crops in gen eral. Rainfall 0.89. Rutherford ton, Rutherford county Two geod rains with warm sunshine has caus ed corn, cotton and garden vegeta bles to grow very rapidly. Wheat being harvested. Shelby, Cleveland county Cotton and corn growing off rapidly. Wheat very good. Dob son, Surry county Nice weather for work and everything growing. Harvest upon us and we think good. Salisbury, Rowan county Farmers are hard at work cutting wheat and plowing and hoeing cotton and corn. Large part of wheat crop has been cut, The yield will be good. Rain, fall, 0.63. Mt. Airy, Surry county Generally the past week has been most favorable, little rain and warm growing weather. However since farmers are so much behind in the cultivation of their crops, and the harvesting to be done just when the first opportunity lor cultivation has come, and laborers so hard to find, it is impossible under the most fa vorable conditions to make an ave rage crop of tobacco or corn.
