Miite a number of new faces, we ale pleased to see, among us this week on account of the rail road suit. Mr. Sherman Giles, of Uurke county, has moved into a house belonging to Mr. J. M. Clay, on Spring street. The usury case which the jury hung so long this court, it is said, was the third one of the kind ever tried in McDowell. Kugineer Keever, of the local freight, and his wife, make their home at Mrs. Lizzie Neal's, the em-o'er stopping over about every other day.

Hittenger, business manager of the Asheville Register, has a column and a half, or more, of a glowing account of Marion, iis prospects, etc., in the last issue of that paper. Some ignoramus is writing to the New York Sun from Nash ville, Tenn., about the Waldenses who live, he says, "in the Tennes see mountains, ten miles from Mor gan ton."

Dr. Murphy, the late superintendent, t is said by the Asheville Citizen, is thinking of establishing a pri vate hospital in Asheville, Char lotte or Atlanta. The grand jury, with Col.

Seventeen thousand ($17,- p uo.iars are to be expended in proving and enlarging the build- Pjs, says the Charlotte Observer. From the following figures it appears that Marion and most of the townships are not in favor of "the stock law" seventy one (71) votes for the stock law, two hun dred and twenty-seven (227) against it. They appear to be in the majority. Some farmers were heard to say that if they secured the stock law soon they would have to leave the corporation out. It was supposed that about 20 votes of those within the corpora tion were cast for the "stock law." From the Bakersville Courier of March 4th, we learn that Kobt. M. Daniels, of Lineback, on Toe Kiver, in Mitchell county, shot and killed Sam Fortner. Daniels is in jail at Bakersville, charged with murder. The cause was a visit to a blind tiger, kept by Will Jack son, a mulatto, near Lick Lock Gap, where they both got drunk, and into a killing humor. Here is another evidence of the great evil of that which is the mightiest curse of this fair and favored region our county included the making and selling of strong drink. It is a damper to all true progress. Death of Mm. .1. Kllza Hale. Again this week are we called upon to chronicle another death. This time of one advanced in years. Mrs. J. F.liza Dale died on last Friday morning at eight o'clock. She was 72 years of age the 19th day of February, 1897. She had been a member of the M. E. Church, South, from her youth. In 1842 she married Mr. Sam Dale, both being then of Burke county. All their married life was spent in this county. Her maiden name was Presnell. With her husband, who was one of Marion's oldest citizens, she came to Marion 53 years ago. Mr. Dale built the Yancey house soon after coming here, where the family lived till 1886. He was one of those who gave 100 to erect the academy. Mrs. Dale leaves five sons and three daughters to mourn their loss, but it is her gain, for we feel assured that she is at rest. She bore her suffering with christian patience; spent her life in trying to be ready for her departure, and those knowing her, feel confident that the summons found her ready. Soon after the subject of this sketch was neatly laid away for the funeral service in the parlor where many attended on Sabbath afternoon, a sweet scene was it nessed. A little maid of six sum mers, with her younger sister, was permitted to go in and look at "grandma," as they called her. They walked up by the side of the lifeless form, and with a thought ful gravity far beyond her years, the eldest, in the presence of sev eral grown persons, of her own motion, unaffected as a child can be, knelt by the side of death and there prayed the Lord's prayer in a voice, most of which was heard over the room. Then she arose and after lingering about the form of her departed friend she passed out. Is this not a good lesson to older persons that in the presence of death in the mtdst of several such providences occuring about us that we should not forget to pray ? Meluwell Superior Court. Judge Hoke justifies theopinion that many hold that he is one of the best, or the best judge, on the circuit court bench in North Caro lina. The following cases have been disposed of : The State vs. Sid Annis, assault and battery with a deadly weapon ; eight months in jail, or to be hired out by the com missioners. J. II. Greenlee vs. W. C, B. A. and M. A. Newland, et. als., eject ment ; judgment in damage to be paid the plaintiff, $1.50. John Carson vs. W. McD. Bur- gin, i. j. Sinclair, et. ais. ; tne plaintiff appeals. li. M. Hy llyburton vs. the Burke County Fair Association, Henkel, Craig & Co., Craig & Wilson, Craig Co. ; judgment in favor of the defendants. On Monday morning the case of S. Bradley, administrator of Sarah . Kanipe, deceased, vs. the O. R. & C. Railway Company and . Whisnant Co., was taken up and has occupied the attention of the court most of the week. Not far from a score of witnesses have testified in the case. At torneys Sinclair, Hardin and Craig, appear for the road; while Justice and Frvin, for the administrator, and Iludgins and Watson for hisnant, the leveryman. Miss Emanuel, of Asheville, court ste nographer in the case, takes down every part of the evidence in short hand to be produced in full when required by the exigencies of the case. Every inch of ground is be ing contested closely in the legal battle for common justice. Dur ing this trial the court has been graced by the presence of ladies, besides those connected with the deceased of the case. The Weather.

Brown also recently spent a lew days in Greenlee. G. L. Greenlee, March 10. Hanger of the Grip. The greatest danger from La Grippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclu sively that this remedy is a certain preventive of that dreaded disease.

In attempting to board the yard engine while it was in motion he slipped and one foot was badly crushed by the wheel, rendering necessary the amputation of uear ly the entire foot. I hope our local 44 city fathers" may take no offense wheu their at tention is called to the fact that during court week it frequently occurs that arrivals from court on belated freight trains are some times in such a condition as to make night hideous with their yells and shouts. This was the case last night, aud some officer should be on baud to take care of these offenders if not at the time, then make a note of it for next day's action. Some of the conduct witnessed on our streets recently is certainly not to the credit of our usually efficient town authorities. To say u I5ird-woi k '' to any one of a certain lot of our young boys is to cause the one addressed to Hush painfully aud show evident signs of the 44 mean grins," and the reason for their embarrass ment is as follows: On Sunday alternoon a ragged, pale-faced boy, rather under sized aud appa rently harmless, came slowly by the depot. Heiug seen by a lot of the town boys, tliey picked him up as a case out of which to have some sport ; so they went slowly down the railroad with him until out ot town, wheu one of them asked the little tramp if he4' knew how to 4 bird work.'" The boy said he did not, and asked what it meant. They told him 44 ho was not bright that it meant to run." He said he vould run but that he was 44 not gwine ter !" So one of his leading tormentors asked a companion to 44 give him a car tridge " and he'd see if the ragged boy could not be persuaded to "cutdiit!" But before the car tridge could be or was produced, the persecuted turned persecutor, throwing his hand behiud him and drawing a revolver, which he dis charged at the fleeing form of his chief tormentor, now rapidly dis appearing up the railroad. The young shooter then took his depart ure, leaving a few astonished boys. Sidney. Old Fort, 2f. C, March 9, 1807.
