It is amusing to note what pains
some of our contemporaries take to
print it Mr. instead of ex-President
R. B. Hayes. We don't believe it
would trouble him much if they should
put it mrrbhayes.
If, as Joseph Manley declares, 75,-
000 copies of President Cleveland's
Tariff Message are to be circulated bjr
the Republicans among Maine "voters,
for campaign documents, it is refresh
ing to know that these voters will have
a chance to see something worth read
ing at least once before the contest is
over. It will do them good and ought
to make converts.
We would respectfully inquire what
the authorities were about when Thos.
W. Canaday, the notorious colored
lawyer, who has swindled his own peo
ple out of thousands of dollars, gave
an address in the courthouse at Ox
ford last' week? According to the Ox
ford Torchlight, no attempt was made
to arrest him, and he has again de
parted for regions unknown. '
With terrible blizzards in the North
west, and storms not much less terri
ble in New England and the Northern
states, earthquakes in New Hamp
shire, Vermont and Canada, floods in
China and awful famine in Turkey,
we conclude that somewhere between
the 3oth and 36th parallels is about
the right location for anyone who
wants to enjoy life on this earth.
The Manufacturers' Record, in a re
cent editorial, commends the liberal
policy of the Seaboard Air-Line rail
road in the matter of encouraging im
migration to North Carolina. This is
well deserved,', and President J. M.
Robinson, Gen. Manager J. C. Win
der and F. W. Clark, Freight and
Passenger Agent, have set an exam
ple worthy to be followed by the offi
cials of other systems.

WADESBORO IMPROVEMENT AS
SOCIATION.
Mj. J. T. Patrick was in Wadesboro
this week, "working up" with indefat
igable zeal, the Wadesboro Improve
ment Association, which as its name
indicates, is an organization looking
to the improvement of Wadesboro.
The? Association appears to have met
with; much favor from the beginning,
verj much more than most new propo-
sitidns usually meet with in Wades
boro. Its membership includes many
of Wadesboro's foremost business men.
It is a good thing, and we endorse it
unconditionally. We look for much
material good to grow out of it.

LIFE IN DAKOTA.
A Newton lady who is at, present
living in Dakota sends an .--'account of
the recent blizzard there to a frieud,
from which the following extract i
tak 3n:-
.. January lfi.
41 1 have been in Dakota some time
anc seen rough weather. We thought
last winter bitter; but I never dreamed
of f uch terrible weather as possible
anywhere. In front and at the south
sido of our house are drifts 100 feet
Ion , 20 feet or more wide, and at least
10 :eet deep so solid and tirmly crust

horses. In one village they tied a
rope irom trie town pun p to trie school
hoise, and then men went and brought
the: children home. We have to dig
down into the topof our hay stack for
har. One day it was simply impossi
ble! cariT waer from the house to
the barn. It was so cold that boiling
water froze as you poured it out be-
! fore it touched the earth, and the
weather was just terriffic. A neiglij
bor came this morning to borrow floarL
He was completely snowed in. No
liglit came in at the windows. When
.he started to dig: his way out, the snow
at jthe top of the door, where it was
thinnest, was three feet through. The
worst and most dangerous feature of
the snow was" the suddenness with
whiich it began. We had been having
aheavy blow from the south-east from
Wednesday afternoon until 2 p.'m.
Thiirsday, when suddenly the wind
died away and the sun came out
brightly for nearlv half an hour. The
farmers went out to water their cattle,
whfen suddenly, without warning, the
blipzard veered to the north-west, and
in J&ve minutes a man was taking his
lifa in his hand to go three rods.
Yesterday was bright and sunny, but
the; sun shone upon a desolation of
drikts, frozen cattle, and trackless
