But it is only question of time when we shall haverhim with u& again. It seems to us that it would be a very foelish piece of business to put the. court house across the street, as advocated by some. Vehicles pass ing underneath the court roofh dur ing the sessions of court would be a great annoyance, to say nothing of the inconvenience to the officers who would occupy the offices on the first floor. Besides, it- would block up the sidewalk on each side of the street and would completely shut off the view of one end of town from the other. A most artistically executed piece of calcimining and frescoe work was shown us last Saturday by Dr. J. M. Covington at his residence. The work is indeed pretty and makes the Doctor's - bed-room scintillate with dazzling beauty in the scenes depicted on the walls and overhead. The picture in the centre of the room overhead is Mount Vesuvius. So true to nature is it that it almost seems that pure fire and lava are issuing from 'the crater. One scene bn the walls is an Arctic description. The glittering icebergs mantled with show are seen floating in mid ocean, on one of which is a polar bear. The mantel-board is also very beautifully frescoed. County Matters. The Board of County Commis sioners was in session last Monday, all the members being present. Very little business of public interest was transacted, the only thing of import ance being ihe appointment of list takers, to list the real aad personal property in the respective town ships of the county.

Twenty-five cents a bottle. G. M. Setzer, who died a day or two ago at China Grove, made a very peculiar request just before he died. He had no belief, whatever, in the immortality of the. soul, and he died protesting against the belief in a hell. The peculiar request that he made was that he should be buried without a coffin. He asked to be wrapped in a sheet and placed in a hole in the ground in his father's garden. Charlotte Chronicle, 81st. What you need is a medicine which is pure, efficient, reliable. Such is Hood's Sarsaparilla.- It pos sesses peculiar curative powers. Miss Lizzie Alexander, daughter of Isaac N. Alexander, Sr., of Sharon township, attempted yesterday to commit suicide by cutting her throat. She is a sister of the late ex-Sheriff" M. E. Alexander of this city. She is about 50 years of age, and, for a long time she has been of unsound mind. Application was made for her admission to the asv- lum at Morganton, but, for some reason or other, she was not admit ted. On two or three occasions she has attempted to take her own life, but her relatives prevented her from carrying out her intentions. Charlotte Chronicle, 31st. SPRING, -1889.
