THE VINDICATOR When you gee a cross on your paper it means your time is eithe-outor about to expire. Renew or the paper will stop. X THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1899. Local & Personal. if. Unas. Burein. nf (I is here on a visit to his boro, mothor. The Levi Cotton Mill had to shut down this week on account of the ico. Quarterly meeting had a very slim attendance owing to the dis agreeable weather. ' Little Sudie Wilkie got a tall on the snor Tuesday and sprained her arm, but is getting along all right now. A son to Mr. and Mrs, W. J. Mode Tuesday morning was the sort of Valentine the cold spell brought them. Mr. James Bell, who is teach ing school at Waco, spent several days home this week with his father and mother. Thirteen "pomes" on the snow are turned down, because there is no poetry in them for the printer whose wood box is ompty. Rev. T. N. Ivey will commence the publication of the Raleigh Christian Advocate at Raleigh next week. Miss Mattie Burgin, of Caro leeu, is in the city visiting her mother and many friends who are always delighted to see her. Mr. N. L. Shaw, a'geut for that excellent paper, the Biblical Recorder, was in the city Tuesday en route to Ashevilie. Sorry we were not in when he called. Mrs. Cinda Dalton, of Green Hill, who lived with her nephew TTrn DiiUnn AiaA T,, acA l TT BlTkA was buried at Mountain Creek church Wedoesday. Her age was 75 years. ,;Miss Libbie Sirngsoo wT-- gret to learn, has been quite ill this week, and her brothers, Wil lie' and Robert, have been filling her place, at the central telephone office. Cleveland county recommends their former efficient and clever T clerk of the court, Mr. T. D. Lat timore for the position of railroad commissioner and we would be glad to see him in the place. A number of dogs bitten by what was said to be mad dogs, were recently killed in the Pied mont school district. That is right, and every suspicious case ought to be treated in the same way. A wood famine struck the town with the snow and it requir ed hustling to keep comfortable. Some of our numerous friends are reminded of their promises to haul wood now. We will not need it in the summer. "To my sweet valentine" is so altogether too sweet to be given A place in our columns. . The sen timent and inspiration are entire ly expressive of our phelinx, but it brings us near the skeleton in our own closet. . . Some people in our town re port an earthquake Monday morn ing, and as their assertions are substantiated by shaking else where we are not inclined to doubt their statement. The weather was cold enonsh for anything to o happen. i With the experience of the last two months would it not be a good thing for the wise men the business men and others to get together and make suggestions for a better system of roads. If we commence it in the town, our country friends would follow suit, When the extorter fled from the dire calamity he had called down on the moonshiners, and for which he felt that he alone was responsible, with bag and baggage he set his face westward, and gave his wife this special injunction : "Remember Lot's wife." Mr. Jimmie Bell, of Ruther- iordton, a son of Capt. . W. - T. R. Bell, was in town Saturday. He, like his father, is a school teacher, and we trust Jim will merit that degree of success which has ever attended his father as an instruo tor Shelby Star, 15th. The Bar Association was fully organized in Raleigh last wee, and manv distinguished lawyers of the State were present and be Aimi ffltmhn Mr S Gallert. of Rnthrfordtm. and E J Justice . of Marion, are members of the csmnittee on constitution and by The Pernicious Grumbling Habit Do not let your child acquire the habit of grumbling. Stop the first beginnings and it will never become a habit. If there is iust caufce of complaint, try to remedy it ; if there is no poesibihty of im provement, teach that silent en durance is the best way to meet the inevitable. It is never wise to stay in a place and grumble. If the things you dislike cannot be altered, change your environment. If on reflection yon decide that, balancing one thing with auother you would rather bear the ills you know not of, bear them in silence. February Ladle's Home Journal. A Saiiter. A strange animal of the cat kind has given Chimney Rock people no little alarm, and the people of that township don't go out of doors much at night. The schools are almost broken up and the children are kent at home for fear of this terrible and savage creature which is said to devour everything in its way from a full grown shoat to a piccaninny on its way to school. The people go armed, and while no one has seen it, many have heard it growl, and that was enough to make them hit the grit for home and safety. They say "it is wu9'ner an' a wildcat and twice as eavigros." Wonder if this is the Landmark's Santer? Hack Matters. Mr. John Shotwell, on moun tain Creek, is making improve, ments on his dwelling and when finished he will have a nice coun try residence. Rabit hunting seems to be the principal industry of our neigh bors, who are getting in their win ter supply of meat, and the bal lance of their time is taken up in making fires. A negro man got a mule drown ed at Matt Lynch's bridge a few days ago. T witty 's Chapel near Maple Creek will be finished as soon as VrrjH admit. Clipper. Shelby Takin steps. The citizens of Shelby have de cided to ask the legislature to give the town commissioners the right to order an election, upon the pe tition of one-third of the voters, on the question of issuing $80,000 worth of bonds for public improve ments, ench as water works, elec- nc lights, etc. The bill was pre pared by Messrs. R. R. Ryburn and E. Y. Webb and given to Rep resentative Hoey to have passed in the General Assembly. Shelby is preparing to take a forward step. Shelby Star. Cold Weather it Is. The clerk of the weather left his post to attend Mardi Gras festivi ties, and the mercury played wild during his absence, getting down on a dead levil to 14 degrees below zero, even in our sheltered coun ty of Rutherford. Old citizens Bay it is the coldest snap since the cold Friday in the forties. Tues day morning relieved the strain and people began to crawl out in the sunshine to beg the wood haul ers for fuel.

The Vindicator goes to a cum ber of subscribers who are slightly in arreaes, but our notices to some of them have not met with that attention and courtesy that makes a printer feel glad. Over indul gence is the way to bring us to the poor house, and we therefore give this last warning and sing one more verse before we close the meeting, and say farewell brother. Fire On Broad River. We regret to hear that Mr. Lee Taylor, living on Broad River lost his house by fire Tuesday evening We have not heard particulars. The house was a new frame build ing, and only completed a short time since. The house had elev en rooms in it, and was one of the best in the county. Unfortunate ly there was no insurnace.

County of Rutherford: Sworn to aud subscribed before me, this 10th day of February, A D, 1899, J F FLACK, .Notary 1'ublic. Henrietta Mills Ho. I CAROLEEN, N. C, Febry Bargains! During January we made a special effort to have a good month and while other merchants were complaining of dull times we were having the best trade we ever had at this season of the year. Febru ary is usually a dull month also, but we are offering such bargains and leaders, that we are sure will turn the scale. We have none over our clothing and put nearly everything down, and where there nre one or two suits of a kind left, they are cut down without mercy. It don't pay us to keep odds and ends. We have great advantages in the clothing business and a look at our stock will convince you of it. We have an imenense shoe trade and it must be because we are right on them. Our remnant table is a popular place to get bargains. We re plenish it every lew days, as we sell down the regular stock to small pieces. We keep this stock complete all the time, and are getting in new goods every week. Big lot Lace and Embroideries just received from the importers. We are still selling Best Indigo Blue Calico at 4c ts a yard. It will be impossible to call your attention to all the good things we are offering this month. Come and see us. Keep an eye on this space it will be changed every two weeks. THE HENRIETTA MILLS, NO. 2, Caroleen, N. C. We are now selling- Standard Fertilizers, Kainit, Cotton Seed Meal and other material for composts. r 2 Bad Arrangement. t or Jack of mail facilities in Rutherford the list of subscribers to The VixDicATOR in some sec tions of the county is very small, and with a large number of mail routes, the arrangement and sched ule, without sufficient postoffices seriously damages our circulation as well as inconveniencing the peo pie. A Public Road. The Senate has passed a bill de claring the Hickory Nut road in Henderson county a public road, and we hope the citizens of that county will make it a good one, though it may seem a little tough considering the immunity they have so long enjoyed from work ing it. A Hmypy New earl "We Wont Fool Yon." With bills to pay to printers and paper makers, it would be an easy matter if subscribers whose time has expired would promptly re new their subsciptions. There is no fun in selling papers unless you can get pay for them, and if you fail to receive The Vindicator next week, don't let it fool you that it is not printed. Meeting Postponed. Owing to the weather and other considerations the meeting of the Rutherford County Teachers' As sociation at the Cove has been postponed to Friday and Satur day, March 10th and 11th, by or der of Supervisor Gettys. We are thankful to our many friends for the generous patron age extended to us last year and hope that we may be favored with a continuance of the dame through 1899.
