Raleigh, N, C,, June 30, 1891. T. C. Leas, Esq,, . Rockingham, N, C, Dear Sif Your fevor of the 26th enclosing a petition signed by citizens of ypux town asking for the erection of a passenger station at your place, is received. I will at once look into thfe matter and see if we can not provide suitable pas senger accommodations. Yours truly, Jno. C. Windee, .- General Manager. The Catcher Caught Napphg. Carthage Blade. Recently the town Commission ers appointed John M, Adams Mar shal and Hog Catcher, On last Saturday he was especially vigilant and could be seen at most any hour with a gallon pot of corn in bis hand tolling the. unsuspecting hogs to their doom-the town pound. By the time old "Sol" bad hidden his face behind the western hills, he bad sucoeeded -in bagging quite a number of the aforesaid unsuspec ting hogs. Indeed the day's hog harvest bad been a bountiful one. and Johnny was happy. - In order to make sure of his four legged game he appointed a young map to keep watch at the pen that night. AX. SLU early hour the watch er took up his lonely vigil. Sook tiring of standing, he ensconsed himsel f in a wasron body on ton " of the pen where he could rest more cpmtortably, And there he rested very quietly through the long wea ;zy night'. On arising Sunday morn ing be discovered that a bow-legged qyclone had struck the pen, and that there was "nary ' a hog left to tell the sad tale of John's wasted perspiration, ' John girded on armor afresh Mon day morning, and is again on the Warpath, a ; . -' Xh tlid. llerry Month cf Juno. - '.

Tbe PourthatHaztoii- i ' The "Glorious" Fourth was algala day at Maxton, when the sturdy Scotch manhood ofthat section gath ered to memorialize the event of America's birth as a Republic. The gathering oi the people for such purposes needs no apology, as before the rising American is brought the grandeur of his country and the pa- tnousm 01 nis ancestors, lie is tauent 01 tne stormy patns over which liberty jbas beaten her way, which will never fail to inspire the youth with the value of his priceless heritage, cause him to clasp his arms about her. and poin t a finger of defi ance in the tyrant's face. The procession started in front of the.McCaskill House at 11.30 o'clock, : preceeded by the Rowland Band; marched , to the Fair grounds. Here the exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. A. McQueen, and the Declaration of Independence read by L. M. Bluer after whioh, Hon. J. M. Johnson, of Marion, S. C, was introduced and made an excel lent speech. Mr. Johnson is not an orator in the popular use of the word, but bespoke with an earnest ness thatjgained the sympathy of his hearers, with a simplicity that made all his ideas understood, and with a wisdom on questions of govern ment that would give him standing as a politcal philosopher. His theme was uThe Sins of the Past," from which he -drew lessons for the future, but where he elicited most enthusiasm ! was when he touched upon the dangers that threaten the present nearly all growing out of ' a paternal govern ment, which is made paternal by the enormous money power it holds through hoarding its coffers with the people's money; He said the functions of government as first launched by the framers of our constitution, is to protect the life and property of the citizen, nothing more, but here is a Congress just adjourned that spent a 'round bil lion dollars. What .is the remedy ? He uttered a great truth when he said that the remedy lay in keeping the money robbed of, the people by the government, in the peoples' hands by striking a "death blow to the thieving tariff. . And what can be more evident? Is it not a fact that class legislation has enriched some while poverty .has put its feet on others? How does it do this? Simply by the money the govern ment has stored in its vaults and distributes , to its - favorites. If we keep this surplus money out of the treasury, keep it in the hands of the people to whom it belongs, where is the possibility bf class legislation ? ttf here is the power of the govern ment to oppress ? Let any man answer this question. After Mr. Johnson's speech was concluded the people -had . dinner and at 3.30 returned; to the grounds to witness some fine trotting. From the Laurinburg Exchange. The Baptists here have decided to build a wooden church. At the residence of the bride's father, last night, by Rev. W. ' B. Doub, Mr. W. Sykes was married to Miss Evaleen, daughter of Mr. Av D.
