He failed to attend the convention at Marion, of the '"big six," onthe-llhof July, but we suppose he sent them greetings, ami urged them to keep a still backbone and buy all the railroail: In future all communications ad vocating candidates for otlice will be charged for at the rate of 10 cents per line unless the candidate advocated has his card in the Rkcoki, which costs only $5 in advance. After ample expe rience we have come to the conclusion that the only way to keep a newspaper alive in Marion, is to charge a reason able price for all the work we do. a-s- Every body ought to know that newspapers do nor publish comiuniiiea tious unless the editor knows the party writing them. Xeither should you think that because a sheet of paper has two sides, vou are obliged to write on both of them. We will not publish any communication unless the name of the author is known to us. and the man who writes on both sides of the pape can call around next week and get his communication out of the waste basket. The concert given on last Monday night by the Old Fort Mutual Im provement Club, consisting oi uui Fort's mdst talented young ladies and gentlemen, was enjoyed very much by a large and appreciative audience. "A Morning in China," was well rendered. The costumes representing the differ ent nations were well gotten up. A recitation by Miss.Tressie Westermann j entitled, "The Polish Roy," shows she has talent as an elocutionist. Miss a n.i.. Siindlin acted "Widow Redott" to perfection. Most of t he club returned to Old Fort by private conveyance af ter the concert. A tramp about 50 years old, badly disligured, but still in the umbrella business, was in town Monday. He tells a story, which if true, is disgraceful to our county; he pays that while coming along the road above oiu on, n met by two young men, who without any provocation, assaulted him with rocks and beat him unmercifully. He says he layed in the woods in an insen sible condition from Saturday evening until Sunday morning. The villains who committed this deed, may never be punished in McDowell county, but from the deviltry that is going on, it would seem that it is not far from here to a place where they do punish such rascals by feeding them on melted lead in July. In another column we publish a communication from a prominent Dem ocrat in Rurke. From the tone of his letter we infer that our Uurke county friends who realize the situation are anxious for harmony in the party. This is essential to success. This county and Yancey are clearly entitled to name the nominees for senators, and we will coiue forward with good men, and let us work together in harmony for success. Judge Bymim is Burke's candidate for the nomination forjudge. There is no abler lawyer or better man in the district. Mr. W. C. ewland will be Caldwell's candidate for solicitor.
