It is well known that .Mr. Loper Las

Dallaw Dots,
The fatuous Davenport - McKee
case has been decided at last, the
Supreme Court sustaining the decin
ion of the lower court. The ex
%
sheriff aud his securities met at the
court house Saturday to arrange t»
pay the costs, aggregating $ ( J,500.
Mr. McKee turns over all his effects
into the hands of sureties, not even
claiming a homestead. He is dispos
ed to do all he can to relieve his
j sureties. The amount each will have
!to pay \n il 1 approximate SSOO. It is
J thought the County Do . d of Com
-1 missicners will relieve the securities
1 of penalty and part of the two per
cent, monthly interest, which will
materially diminish the costs. It
was a very unfortunate controversy,
aud even body is glad that the thing
has at last been settled.
There is talk of building a cotton
factory at Dallas. Certainly bomt
thing of the kind is badly needed
here. The monied men in and
around the place, could easily do it,
if they would only go to work in ear

complishment.
Mr. Columbus Ferguson, a former
citizen of Dallas, will return and
spend tin) remainder of his life at
Dallas. Ho will move here in a few
weeks from his home in Burke coun
ts. We are glad to have him return,
for lit* is one of Gaston's best citi
zens.

The Weather.
While we have been complaining
of the variations of the weather this
week, we ought to l>e thankful that
we live in a region so mild ami pleas
ant as ours, when we read of the
"blizzard" that has been sweeping j
ovtr the west. It came without

I.: t.«- attention wu- pail to it, but
in an hour the cloud had swept over
the country. th« sun was obscured,
snow was fulling fist, and a ga!e
