After some careful inquiry it appears that generally there will be a good wheat crop in this sec tion of the country. Only certain kinds of wheat much subject to rust are seriously injured. The most delicious strawberry has been in evidence here for more than a week, but it rapidly disap pears as soon as brought to town. The only objection to the straw berry is that it so soon leaves us after its short yearly stay. We have arranged to club with the Washington (D. C.) Weekly Post. The Messngkr and the Washington Weekly Post for $1.15 a year. This is an unusual offer, making one of the great weeklies of the country cost you but 15 cents a year. The first number of the (Ma rion) Courier, Republican, ap peared here last week. It is a four column, eight-page paper, plainly printed on good paper. For local and other news it is an interesting sheet, carefully edited. We wish it deserved success. Work has begun toward the erection of the Seigle block of five stores and office rooms. Most of them are already rented, and within a month the would be oc cupants will be in possession. Like all we hear of now, Captain Seigle has much faith in Marion's future. Col. Frank Coxe will build an iron bridge over Broad river be tween his place and Rutherford ton, he paying his taxes in ad vance for a long period in that way, the Rutherford commission ers giving him a low interest on the advance. This is an easy way to secure a county bridge. We have a full supply of war rantee deeds, and land mortgage deeds on hand. Irive cents apiece, 15 cents for 5, 25 cents a dozen, 1 for 50. Chattel mortgages, 1 cent each, 8 cents a dozen, 50 cents a 100. Bonds for title, 2 cents each, 10 cents a dozen, 75 cents a 100. Sheriff's deeds, same as last. Manager 13. R. Raper, of the Marion r urniture Company, went to Round Knob lately to figure on twenty bed room suits for the Round Knob Hotel and secured the order against some half dozen competitors from different places in the South. 1 his is a big plume for successful energy and push. We were pained to learn that on Thursday, the 20th inst., the infant girl of Dr. G. I Keid died on Wednesday morning at 1 o'clock and was buried late Wednesday afternoon at Siloam, It had been ill for quite awhile, The sympathy of all go out to the bereaved parents in the loss of their innocent one. Mr. A. M. Huger, whom many in our section know, in his sum mer visits and travels among the mountains of Western North Car olina, is gathering botanical speci mens (new kinds he may discover) for Columbia College, New York. A flower that he recently discov ered has been named by the col- leee in his honor: "Vicia Iluger-II." Mr. Frasier, of the Catawba Furniture Company, is pushing his buildings skyward very rap idly. The boiler and engine will arrive in a few days. The other machinery will follow soon and will consist of the very latest and up to-date woodworking machin ery, and will be, when completed, one of the best outfits in the State Success to them. Mr. C. F Geer, who was for merly in the racket store business here, has bought the goods (ex cept the stoves) in the store rooms of the Craig building, occupied by Dr. W. P. Jones. At the same stand Mr. Geer will keep on sale a line of hardware, and will add other lines of general merchan dise. Dr. Jones henceforth will devote all his time to his growing lumber trade. On account of the commence ment exercises of the University of North Carolina at Chapel 1 1 ill, N C, May the 79th to June the 5th, 1897, the Southern Railway will place on sale reduced rate round trip tickets from all points within the State of North Carolina, to Chapel Hill and return, tickets on sale May the 26th to June the 3rd, inclusive, with final limit June the 7th, continuous passage in both directions. It is not supposable by con servative ones that a mob was to have been, or will be formed (or is in serious contemplation) to at tempt to lynch Longcry. This would be hard to do, and none of our people known of would at all favor such a thing. 1 hey only want the law enforced, which no doubt will be in this case. Let the law be applied to all alike, but by constituted authority only, is the determination ot our people and authorities. A runaway occurred early Wednesday morning. Mr. I. F Simmons' team of two dark colored mules became frightened from a loose scantling as they came down Main street. They tore off at a rapid pace, turning in by the side of McCall & Conley's store, down through the back lot to the next street, (Logan), thence, more rapidly they lunged away till they were caught near the Southern depot. No one was hurt, the driver having been thrown out near McCall & Conley's store. The wagon was not materially injured The Raleigh correspondence of the Asheville Citizen of May 21, contains the following about the Marion and Asheville turnpike "The Legislature gave 50 convicts without expense, to the Marion and Asheville turnpike, but these will not be furnished unless they are paid for. Under the new law the convicts are available for road work to counties which pay for them, from the autumn until the following spring. Many will be thus used. It is a good law and will lighten the Slate's burden and give good roads." LlPNew line Hammocks next week at Swindell's. From the Des Moines Daily News of May 17th, we clip the following concerning some well known McDowell people: "On the 14th inst. Mr. and Mrs. Keffer entertained at dinner Mr. C. M. Corpening and family and Mr. James Smith and family. Mr. Corpening is stationed here for a short time and both himself and wife are native North Carolinians and have three as handsome chil dren as any family could boast, who will no doubt be raised with the southern idea of chivalry up permost in their minds. It is hoped if this family decides to remain in the north that Des Moines will claim them as desira ble citizens." Dr. Guy Kirby, of Lenoir, and Dr. Cheek are to foim a partner ship for the practice of their pro fession. Their office will be in one of the new Seigle buildings, soon to be built. Dr. Kirby recently graduated from the University Medical School at Richmond, re ceiving the first prize on the dis eases of women and obstetrics. He also received another first prize, but having been at the above in stitution only the last of his full three years' course, it could not be given him. The faculty gave him the best general average of any student. We welcome him. Dr. Cheek is too well known in Mc Dowell to reed any words of com mendation from us. OI.I K(KT HAPI'KMNGS.

There was frost here last night : quite visible this morning early, though no damage is apparent, but I am told that on Crooked creek field peas were killed. lhe school of Mr. Tom Patton closed on Friday last and its teacher returns this week to his home near Morgauton. He has not had the patronage a school in a town ol this size should command, owing to the scarcity of money. An enjoyable dance at Mrs. Sals bury's on Monday night, given by Old Fort's gallants, was graced by the presence of a party from Round Knob, including the charming Miss Lillian Lewis, an actress of note, who is restiug awhile amid the grandeur of our mountains. The kindly face of Geo. E. Lee, the Southern's clever agent at Ma rion, was seen 011 our streets for a few hours of Sunday last. Rev. B. K. Mason, the Baptist pastor, and Mrs. Mason were guests ot Mrs. Ransom II. Moore durin his regular visitation here last Sunday. This estimable couple are fast making friends here, not only in their own congregation, but ol all who meet tuein. The most energetic, well organ ized aud effective road force that has beeu seen ou our streets in years was at work two davs last week, aud under the sensible di rection of Mayor Goodson and the immediate supervision of Marshal Sandlin more good work was done and the streets put in better shape than by any previous workiug. Entered into rest ou Wednesday May 18th, at the tender age of two months, Mary Lizzie, infant daugh ter of Dr. aud Mrs. Geo. V. Reul The sincerest sympathy of our peo pie is with this esteemed youug couple in this sad bereavement. There has always been stationed here au engine to help trains up the heavy grade to the top of the mountain, and now, owing to in creased traflie aud to avoid delay, the Southern has found it neces sary to add a seeond, so at some hours of the day and night there is quite a bustle of making up trains around the station. Dr. W. P. Jones, of Marion, was in town again yesterday, making the square rueu delighted with cash for "squares." If after a little he comes to be spokeu of as "the square man" it will be only a justly due cognomen, as all say he is just that. Last week Mr. John Ricketts lost a fine steer, the cause of death being bloody murrain, an ailment very rare in this section: and on Thursday last a pair of cxen be long to Mr. W . G. Souther were struck by an engine of a train coming down the mountain, one being instantly killed and the other so badly injured as to be ren dered useless. It was formerly the custom to use for food cattle killed on the road, but uow the carcass is first appraised aud then buried Sidney. Old Fort, May 2G, 181)7. The Keceptlon at Woodlawii. One of our local reporters who was present gives the following description of the happy occasion: Woodlawn. the beautisul coun try residence of Col. John Yancey, opened wide its hospitable doors on the evening of May 20th to welcome Messrs. John and bam Yancey and their fair young brides. Many ot the young peo ple of Marion and visitors from Lincolnton and Asheville were in attendance as well as those from the surrounding country. The stately mansion shone brilliantly with lights. Every room was ooened for the entertainment of the guests. The young people promenaded the long veranda, strolled over the broad grounds and rowed on the beautiful lake The spacious dinning room was decorated with evergreens and flowers, and the tables laden with every enticing viand. Turkey, old ham. salads, pickles, etc., ca tered to the appetite, sharpened bv the bracing: ride to the Cove. Then followed ices, cakes, fruits and confectioneries. About mid night the dinning room was cleared and the vouno- people, with their hearts gay and their eves bricht. were soon treading measure to the violin's sweet strains. Most of the guests stayed all night, and after a beautifully served breakfast, lelt very reluct antly for their respective homes, bearins? with them the most de lightful recollections of a happy evening.

Mc Carter ruus a government distill ery, but it is charged that certain irregularities make him guilty of illicit distilling. McCarter asked to go back iu his house to get some clothing, aud Alexander fol lowed him, but he made his es cape through the wiudow. Marks ran uim across the field to the woods and McCarter began firing at his pursuer. The two exchanged greetings until the pistols were emptied, but McCarter made hises cape, aud carries uow as a leiniuder of the eventful night two glazes, made by cold lead, on the calf of his leg. The revenuers were more fortunate in that they bear no mark of McCaiter's "displeasure." One of the boldest attempts ever known in Rutherford county to make whiskey was discovered last week. Deputy Collector Jus tice and Revenue Ollicers Young and Green located an illicit still in less than a mile of EUenboro and on last Thursday night captured the still and destroyed a large amount of beer.

Imagine a queen traveling around the world on 10 centsl It seems preposter ous, and yet it is a fact There is a cer tain man, according to the t Louis Re public, who will do this for any one who will send him au order, whether it comes from England, China or any oth er foreign country, and he Bays: "I have frequent demands from all parts of the world. Vou see, I send these queens as follows: You will notico that there are two littlo circular apart ments in this royal carriage, " and he produced a little wooden box, "one in which tho queen is kept and the other for her suit. The little plug in tho cen ter of the box is solidified, candied honey, which will furnish food to tho regal party until they arrive at their destination. "The compartments aro covered with a fine wire gauzo to prevent the escape of the insects. "This large one in the first compart ment, the one with the delicately shaped, long body and beautiful markings, is an Italian queen bee, and sho is valued at 1 10. I havo queens valued all tho way from $2 to ?25. "The others, in the second compart ment, aro tho suit or worker bees, that will accompany her on tho trip, not only for company, but also for the heat they will produce to keep her comfortablo on the stormy voyage over tho great, cold 6eas. ' 'After wo havo tho bees safely stow ed away iu their proper compartments, wo switch the littlo lid around and fasten it with a tiny screw at tho ends, and on its top surface tho address of the consignee is written, tho stamp is affix ed, and away goes her majesty, a queen 6old into slavery for the trifling sum of $10 and sent to her destination on a 10 cent stamp. "Bee culture has grown so rapidly in the United States that there aro few farmers now who have not a substantial apiary and who do not net a handsome income each year from the honey tho bees yield, and t-esides the farmers there aro thousands of gentlemen and ladies who are apiarists purely from the fas cination the hobby atfords.
