We ask our lteepsvdle corres pondent's pardon for the omission of a communication sent us a few weeks ago. By some meaus or oth ct it was misplaced and was discov ered this week too late for publica tion. The mauy friends of Prof. J. H. Ka.vhill were delighted to see him in Lincolnton again. lie gave a very enjoyable reading in the court ou8e last Friday night. Prof. Ray hill is a fine elocutionist and it is hard to decide which of his select ions was best, as they were all so well rendered. The waj he can swing those clubs is wonderful. He will visit this place again in the au tumn. We wish we could have more entertainments of a literary character and think they should be encouraged: l)r John McHellen Pressley. Our town was distressed at the sudden death of Dr. Pressley on July 2, 1891. He bad just returned fioiu the bedside ot a patient and spent a lew moments in the store near his home, wheu he met his wife and child and her sister at the door, and as they approached the house, fell on the pavement ud his heart failed to beat. He was a son of the late Kev Win. B. Pressley, of Iredell county, studied at Due West, S. C, graduated from a ined ical school iu Baltimore, married Miss Violet, eldest daughter of the late Dr. Brown, of Lincolnton, prac ticed his proleesiov here for sever aI year and took a post gradup.e couise in New York last winter and returned in January ana resumed his work in fresh spirit aud entbu fiiasm. Constitutionally weak, bat tender and generous in disposition, and skilled in his profession he had a warm place in the hearts of the people and in the fellowship of the Presbyterian church, as was maui foated by the great assembly that attended his funeral. Ilia beloved wife and three children, and mother and brothers have the tender sym pathy of our people, and very grate ful to their feelings were all the kind attentions extended in their time of grief. Dr. Pressley was a genial, bright, social friend and faithful physician; but for some time he seemed to be passing through the shadow of some great sorrow, and wheu the cloud burst and the shadow passed away with his life at 32 years, the cold white brow si lently said: "What is yonr life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vauisbetb away." Pastoe. Family Keonlon, Last Saturday, Ju'y 4'h, was a delightful day at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Rudisill, who live about four miles Irom Liucoln- tou and within a few hundred yards of the waters of Indian Creek, The day had been set apart for a family iouniou, and every eon aud dangh ter of Mr. Kudisill, with their wives and husbands and all their children were able to be present. It inusv have beeu a pleasant sight for tne pareuts to behold all the children and host of grand childron, without one single absence, gathered around the festive board at the old hornc stead at one time. Beneath the shades ot stately oaks within a stoned throw of the dining no in of the old homestead a table was laden with a variety of viade almost infinite rich, rare and delicious. But all those present, as hearty as they were, could not re lieve this splendid table of its bur den till all bad finished aud the la dies had gathered into the baskets the remnants enough for as many more as had eaten. Besides the parents and the unmarried children who are still at home, the family consists of P. C. Rudisill and family ot Maidan ; J. 8. Mauney and fatnis ly, Kings Mountain ; A. K. Rudisill and family, Kings Mountain ; W. A. Rudisill and family, this county;. A. P. Rudisill and family, this county ; M. E. Rudisill and family, Cherryville ; J. M. Roberts and family, Lincolnton ; David A. Beam aud wife, Shelby and Sidney Sbrum soninslaw of P. C. Rudisill, Maid en. The entire number composing this family reunion was 54. A few of the nearest neighbors were preseut to participate in the pleasures of the occasion. It was a jolly day for all and with parent, children and grand child dreu the hours passed delightfully, but too rapidly away. County Matters.

The board adjourned till 2d Mon day in July, when they will meet to revise the tax list, hear complaiut o! over valuation, etc - - - Brabham, The Murderer, Ilungeil (it Charlotte. Charlotte, N. C, July 2. When Brabham ate his dinner yes terday, be told his guard that he would never eat another bite. Last night he refused supper, and would not eat breakfast this morning, re fusing stimulants. He spent last night quietly sleeping. Early thi morning he arose and dressed him self carefully. He received a num ber of callers among them several reporters and three colored minis ters. lie constantly reiterated the declaration that he had nothing to say. In accordance with his re quest his coffin aud shroud were brought in, and were critically ex amined by him. He said he wat satisfied. At 10:30 ho declared him Kelt in readiness for execution, aud as he emerged from his cell he call ed the colored preacheis to his Ride, aud iu a few words made a full con fession of the murder' of Mocca aud the robbery ot the Buiord House. Brabham, between, two deputy sheriffs and followed by the colored ministers, walked around the cells into the west corrodor to the scaffold, and with a firm step ascended the gallows. After a short statement by one of the col ored ministers of the substance of Brabham's confession, and a short prayer, the arms and feet of the condemned mau were pinned the noose adjustee and the black cap pulled over his face. As the depu ties retired from tne scaffold, Brab ham said iu a clear, firm and dis tinct voice : "I want yon all to pray for me while I am passing away." A moment later, at 10:4L the drop fell. The drop was four and a half feet and death was instantane ous There was two' slight shrugs ot the shoulders, a tremor of the limbs aud the bloc 1 stained soul was in the Great Beyond. At 10:-. 55 life was pronounced extinct. At 11:07 the body was cut down. A careful examination by the phy-, sicians showed that the neck wasn't broken, but that the knot of the noose had ruptured au artery below the ear, and death came in a flash and withont pain. Brabham was only 21 years old, but he was a dei-'.te criminal. The murder for which he paid the penalty wps one of the most delib erate aud cold bloodei iu the State. His desperate character w?s shown by the murderous r. ?sanlt made upon his fellow prisoner, Caldwell, three weeks ago, when the latter saver the sherif: s life by betraying Brabs ham's plans to kill him, and by a fearful assault mpde on the sheriff Monday, when Caldwell's interfers ence again saved the sheriff's life. Tuesday Brabham called Cald well to his cell door and cursed him terribly. Yesterday he again called him to his door and begged for for. giveness. Caldwell told him he would forgive him but would not make friends with him until he saw him in nis coffiu ; and after the body had been placed iu the coffin, Cald well exclaimed : "He's a good nig. ger now and behaving hisselt tor the fust time in his life." The body was embalmed aud sent to Charles ton on the 1:30 p. in., train. Neics and Observer, Trinity lots.

She was confined to her bed only twenty-six years, instead of thirty-six, as was stated in your last paper. Also a correction ou the part of those stockpoles. I have learned since that they were the last telegraph poles set np connecting Lincolnton and Reepsville. We hope it will soon go to Happy Home, Jug Town, North Carolina. A man on his road to preachiDg several Sundays ago, was pained to see a man plowing and his wife chnrning. He came on to church thinking that home missions would be mere beneficial than foreign. Should we not civilize our own coan trytir8t 1. 'Charity begins at home.,, Mr. Taylor Armstrong has been very low for some time, but I am glad to say to his many friends that he is now well. July 7, ;9l. T. L. IjOU'eavillc) Tcller. Ed. Courier : Iq. Jno. F. Da via, tax lister for this township,tells us for the last six years he has list ed the taxes of Catawba Springs township four timetvand he finds more money, cotton and provisions in the bauds of the people this year than ho has ever found before. This speaks well for our township, bnt we need a few things yet to make us perfectly happy. We neod a rail road running np from Mt- Holly near the Catawba river at all points, so onr immense water power can be utilized. It is not generally known, but such is the fact that the power, lying idle ou the Catawba equal the world-renowned water power oi Lowell, Mass. About four year since, we had a conversation with a Northern engineer who had iust aro rived at Mt. Holly from Hickory. He came down the river in a canoe, and said the power was, everything considered, the best be ever saw. Let us have the railroad and the river will soon be lined with facto ries. A considerable stoim of wind and rain psed here June 26. Mr. Sam uel Hart's barn was blown down. Peach aud apple trees were uproot ed and considerable damage done generally. Now, Mr. Editor, your Triaugle correspondent, whom we shall call ' Calliope" for short, certainly must have been shooting with" a cannon of very large calibre, when he in vaded the sacred precincts of our matrimonial castle in search for am mnnition. We suppose it never oc curred to him that our shells would be entirely too small for a guu of the immense proportions used by "Calliope." Now, "Calliope," you certainly are a connoisseur of no mean di morphi8m. We understand "Calli. ope" has constituted himself a com mittee of one to arrange tor the se lection of speakers on the occasion spoken of by him last week. And that he has selected himself as ora tor of the day,and has iuvited RepV Mills, Oate. Reagan, Carlisle, Mill er, and Sen's Vauce, Sherman, Hampton and other distinguished statesmen as honorary hearers. Should tbey bV present, we feel confident their minds will be fully satisfied on this important question. A small tenement house on lands of Mrs. Laura Lowe was destroyed by fire recently. Cotton will have to be plowed several times yet, or else, in the fall, the farmers will find it is too small to pick. We would like to say to the dis consolate politicians that true Dem ocracy has nothing to feat from the Alliance, but impostors and self styled statesmen will be forced to take a back seat Homer Hooper, the negro report ed so badly bnrned about 3 months ago, died Friday last. It is won derful what the bumau body can endure, Yours for success, Bill Shanks Lowesville, July 26, 1891. Street Sweeping Gowns- From the aesthetic standpoint nere is something to be commended to the attention of women who fol low the present fashion of sweeping j the streets with their gowns. Rns j kin, tbe master, writes in his "Let- ter to Young girls"7 : j Dress aa plaiuly as your parents will allow you, but in bright colors (if they become you) and iu the best materials, that is to say, in those which will wear the longest. When you are really in want of a new dress, buy it. or make it, in the fash ion, but never quit an old one mere- ly because it has become unfashion able. And if tbe fashion be costly you must not follow it. You may wear broad stripes or narrow,bright colors or dark, short skirts or long (in moderation), as the public wish you, but yoa must not buy yards of useless stuff to make a knot or a flounce of, nor drag them behind you over the ground. And your walking dresses must never touch the ground at all. I have lo3t much of the faith I once had, and eyen in the personal delicacy, of the present race of average English women by seeing how they will allow their dresses to sweep the streets, if it is the fashion to be scavengers.
