For beef, pork, sausage, chickens, do us if the road is built, unless we eggs, nsn, or anything to eat, go to ouno a leeaer to tap the Little Kiver A. D. btutt s new market rcountry. With a road running from rayetteville to Albemarle, within ten ortwelve miles of the Richmond county line, we should lose ail of our best trade; indeed, Rockingham is practically supported by upper rucnmond, and it we lose that trade the town is bound to suffer mate rially -and to a large extent. Our only salvation is to construct a com peting line connect with the Yad kin road at Norwood. Oar School The Academy building is nearly completed and will soon be ready for use. The work has been greatly delayed by bad weather, but for which the building would have been Completed some weeks ago. Gapt. Armistead, of Virginia, the Princi pal, has arrived and will open school just as soon as possible.- He is a j teacher of large experience and is thoroughly competent to conduct a school of high grade one that will be a credit to the town and county. We are informed later that the school will commence next Tuesday, October 1st. Killed by a Landslide. Elsewhere we mention the serious injury, on Friday last, of Mr. Calvin Spivy by the caving in of an em bankment. Precisely the same thing occurred at Pee Dee factory on Tues day evening, where a number of la borers were digging dirt to repair the dam. Hercules Little, colored was caught and buried underneath the falling dirt and received injuries. from which he died in a short time. His right leg was broken in two or three places and he was badly hurt internally, the blood gushing from his mouth. Another negro, Free man Watkins, was caught in the landslide but was only slightly hurt. JMr. D. W. Odom has returned to Nashville, Tenrr., to continue his studies at Peabody Normal College: Prof. S, C. Brown, a graduate of Pea body College, will continue the school at Ellerbe Springs. - Superior Court is still in session as we go to press. Altogether it has been rather a dull courtxhere being no cases of general note, hence the crowds in attendance have been small. There are no proceedings of interest to report. When . the Charlotte editors can't find any one to maul they pitch into one another so as to keep in prac tice. We notice that Bro. Haydn, of the Chronicle, went for King, of the Critic, a few days-ago, and we hopehe whipped him good. We have reason to know that King is a mighty serry fellow. The members of the Home Mis sion Society are requested to meet at the house of the President Friday aiternoon at 3 o'clock. Orders for work are coming in rapidly. The winter season. is approaching when the poor and suffering in our midst will need the help of our charitable mission and we have need pi active, earnest work. A full attendance is earnestly requested. Mrs. M. H. Russell, President Hon. Jefferson Davis' paper in the October "iseiiord's," "Does the Ma jority Rule?" will be looked for with interest -by a large class of readers. we are requested to announce that a call meeting of the Zion Al liance will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 1st. A full meeting is desired to transact important business. The farmers are having favorable weather for gathering cotton and it is coming in quite brisk. Several. hundred bales have been sold in this market at good prices. Evangelist Pearson is conducting a series of meetings in Charlotte this -week. A number of our citizens have taken advantage of the occas ion to hear this great preacher. All are eharmed with him. The Public Invited. There will be a public meeting of the Y. M. C. A. at the Hall to-mor row (Friday) night to which every body the ladies especially are in vited. Let there be a full attend ance of the members. 31 "Betler late than never," and as we had failed to state that Dr. J. D westerveii succeed wr. Biggs as clerk at Dr. W. M. Fowlkes & C drug store, we make the announce ment now. And a clever fellow he is, too, from Gaffney City, S. C.

At a meeting of the Young Men's -Christian Association, held last Thursday night the following offi cers were elected : President W. E. Harrison. Vice-President Henry Smith. Secretary R. W. Knight. Financial Sec'y W. P. Stansill. Treasurer R. L. Sandford. Janitor Frank Worley. The Association now has about seventy members. We have in band a communica tion from a minister, in which he gives some good advice and words of encouragement to those who have recently confessed Christ and taken upon themselves the vows of the church. We ehalf publish his letter henceforth we will Is He a Fraud? On the loth day of August there came to Rockingham a young man who gave his name as B. S. Williams and claiming to be an agent for the .Etna Life and the Provident Insu ranee Companies. He hailed from Raleigh. While here he received the money for one Accident policy, and had us to print him a lot of let ter heads and envelopes. He left here on Friday to go to Max ton, say ing that lie would return on the fol lowing Tuesday and get the work we did for him. He has never re turned, nor has the gentleman ever beard from" his insurance policy. Can any of the Raleigh papers gift any information about him? Marriage in the County. Quite a pretty wedding was sol emnized Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Sherwood, Henricocounty, the residence of Mr. E. D. Wilburn, Rev. W. E. Hatcher, of Grace street Baptist church, officiating. The contracting parties were Mr. Wilburn's pretty and accomplished grand-daughter, Lelia M. Wilburn, and Dr. W. M. Fowlkes, a promising young physician of Rockingham, N. C. The bride was attired in a hand some suit of white faille and carried in one hand a boquet of Marechal Niel roses. Immediately after receiving the congratulations of their numerous friends the newly married couple left on the 6:25 train for an extended Northern tour, whence they will re turn to their Southern home in Rockingham, N. C.-Richmond, (Va.) State. "Do the Americans want Free Trade?" croaks the worn out and dejected old Whig organ. Judging by the flat-footed declarations in favor of tariff reform made by every Democratic Convention held this year the Democratic portion of the people want a good deal freer trade than is possible under a 47 per cent jariff.

M. iowiKes to. Major Cole Dead. The sorrowful intelligence ofMaj. Stephen W. Cole's death, occurring at his home in Salisbury, N. C, at 7 o'clock p. m., on the 19th inst., came by telegram on last Friday morning. Deceased was half brother of our es teemed citizens, Col. and Mr. Robert L. Steele. .He was a native here, born on January 1st 1813, and it was here 'that his youth and early manhood were spent. His father was William Cole and his mother Judith Leak, whose second husband was Thomas Steele, the father of Messrs. Walter L. and Robert L. The Major was a great favorite with his relations, many of whom reside in our town, and, on his periodical visits, it was ever a source of pleas ure to them to listen to his rehearsal of the life and times of a most worthy ancestry. -His one theme of delight was the rare merit of his progenitors, reaching baek to the early history of this country, and of the record they left to the world as honest, successful people. Proba bly no one now living is so well versed in the history of Richmond and Anson county families, particu larly of his own large and honora ble connection,, as was Major Cole. The Major's whole life was a mark ed example of sobriety, business method and industry, and his social qualities were a charm to his friends. He leaves a large estate as the result iof his superior management in busi ness, and was, at his death, Presi dent of the First National Bank of Salisbury, the success of which was due largely to his financial skill. He U$Sft4t his church, the Methodist, and was a sealous laborer in the vine yard of the Lord.
