It was County Commissioners' day and there were a great many auction sales of valuable tracts of land which the people were interested in. A considerable party from Morganton went to Hickory last Friday to hear Al. G. Field's Min strels. It is pronounced the best show of the kind ever seen in Western North Carolina. Mr. Henry Hardwick, an Asheville attorney, is the Census Supervisor of this district. The appointment was made la'st week. Mr. Hardwick passed Morganton last Thursday evening bound for Washington. Morganton, more than any pkee we know, needs a good bakery. Such an institution would' pay handsomely here, and the first enterprising individual who understands the business who enters the field will strike it rich. At the residence of R. N. Kin caid, Esq., father of the bride, on last Sunday Feb. 2, Mr. R. A. Yarborough and Miss Alice Kin caid were married, Rev. R. S. Abernethy officiating. The bride is a sister of Mrs. T. G. Cobb of Morganton. The Herald extends congratulations The stockholders of the Burke County Fair will definitely decide on a location at the meeting in the Court House next Saturday, Feb. 8th. Every person who has taken stock should be represented in person or by proxy, as the ques tion of location is a very impor tant one, and should be carefully considered. A walk out Lenoir street, which has recently been paved with brick, shows many signs of improvement. Cottages and hand some residences are going up all along the line, and the free use of the paint brush has brightened up everything. Lenoir street will one of these days be one of the hand somest in Morganton. Mr. W. W. Aikin, one of our fine tobacco growers, gave us a call Monday, and gave us some very interesting facts with regard to his system of tobacco culture and his process of curing and preparing his crop for the market, lie has kindly written an account of his method of curing, and the results of the old and the new methods, which we will publish in the next issue of The Herald. We are glad to learn that the University offers a three months' course especially to male teachers iree 01 tuition beginning on teb rudry 24. jso examinations are required for entrance. We have seen the Dro?ramme and find it very attractive. All teachers desirous of improvement should write to President Battle, Chapel Mil, N. C, for circulars. No teacher who wants to keep fully abreast with the times can afford to lose the benefit of this three months of free instruction furnish ed by the State.

The sale comes off on March 4th, and people who want to buy Morganton property should be on hand. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. PERSONAL POINTS. Proceedings of the Board at the February Meetins. The Comings and Goings of Some of Our People During the Week. All the members of. the Board Rev. Mr. Kaylor, of Marion, was were present at the regular month- n town Sunday. ly meeting last Monday. A petition was filed and siened by John Roderick and others, ask- ing tor a public road in Lower Creek township running from a point on the Morganton and Len oir road 2,Y miles from Morganton at John Chester s to Frank Clark's on the Hickory road. The clerk was ordered to advertise the peti tion, the matter to be heard and determined at the March meeting. J. N. Sommers, County Surveyor, filed his official bond in the sum of $1000, with A. F. Sommers as surety. The bond was approved ana ordered registered. In the matter of the petition for the discontinuance of a public road in Icard township from the sign board in the Fullbrightlane to the Devil Shoal Ford, it was consider ed by the Board that the petition be denied. 1 wenty-eight ot the new issue bonds amounting to $2800 due July 1st., 1890, were cancelled by the Board, having been paid for by warrant on the County I reasurer, The petition filed by J. G. War- lick and others.asking for a public road from the 11 mile post on the Laurel road to Zion church was heard and denied. Eli Taylor was appointed by the Board to collect the taxes levied in the stock law territory in Icard and Lovelady townships for the year 1890. Immense quantities of lumber, shingles and brick are being shipped from Morganton every week. Most ot this Duiiding ma terial eoes to Asheville, which city yearly consumes many thou sands of dollars worth of Burke county building material. The year 1889 was not much of a year for marrying, still there wrere 284 people married in Burke county during that year, of whom 216 were white and 68 were color ed. Twenty two people were married in the county in Jan. 1890, 14 white aud 8 colored. The Lenoir Topic says that the extensive iron mines' near Patter son, Caldwell county, have, been leased ' by the Columbia Mining Company, of Philadelphia, who will develop the mines. The same company has leased mines in Lin clon and Watauga counties. At one of the Morganton col ored churches last Sunday night while Eliza Harris wras placing her contribution in the box, she was furiously assaulted by another woman who had a grudge at her. Eliza, who was much smaller than her antagonist, fled from the church. Superintendent McBee came down Monday on a special car and inspected the new passenger depot and other railroad improvements in Morganton. It Was decided to extend the platform below the pas senger wraiting rooms and build a baggage room east of the build ing. The chairs and other furni ture for the waiting rooms have arrived. Capt. W. E. Walton and his corps of engineers left Morganton Tuesday' 'for the Cold Spring on Jonas Ridge, from which point thev will survey another railroad line via Piedmont Springs to Mor ganton. It is not thought that a line can be secured by the Jried mont Springs route that will be of as light grade as the line by Table Rock and Hawks Bill, but the line may possibly be shorter and cheap er. Capt. Walton has had very fine weather for his survey in the mountains. John Branch, who escaped from Morganton jail before the last term of the Federal Court at Statesville, was recaptured by jailor Ward last Friday night. Branch, who is an expert fiddler, was playing "Old Joe Clarke" at a dance at John Piercy's three miles above Piedmont Springs, and was taken completely by surprise. The dancers kept on dancing, and did not know what was up until the music suddenly stopped in the middle of the tune, and Branch was hustled away from the scene of revelry to a berth in the jail. We can see no reason why there should not be postal clerks on the night trains on the AV. N. C. railroad, so that we can get our local mails twice a day. Western North Carolina is growing in pop ulation and inportance in a busi ness way. Her business transac tions are ten times as important as they were a few years ago. The times demand a rapid ex rhanre of mails, and one local o ' . mail each way in twenty tour hours is totally inadequate. Let a small part of the surplus be ex pended in giving this important section better mail facilities. Capt. A. L. Kaylor Dead. Mr. Fitz Lee Hayes is at school at Alexandria, Va. Mr. Walter Moore, of Chester, S. C, was in town last wTeek. Mr. Burgin Ramseur, of Lin- colnton, was here last week. Dr. E. S. Warlick, of Marion, was in Morganton Monday. Mr. W. B.

Ambrose Kaylor, one of Morganton's prominent builders, died very suddenly in Asheville last Saturday morning at 4 o'clock He was apparently in perfect health the day before, and did not complain until about twelve o'clock Friday night, when he was awakened by a violent pain in the head. Medical aid was sum moned, but nothing could be done to relieve him, and he died after a few hours' intense suffering. It is thought that he had an attack of congestion of the brain. His remains w;ere brought to Morgan- ton Saturday night, and were in terred in the Methodist church yard Sunday afternoon. He is a brother of Revs. F. R. Kaylor, of Burke, and Marcus Kaylor of Mc Dowell, and Rev. Noah H. Kaylor, of Gamewell, Caldwell county, and of Mrs. Crowell of Morganton Sunday's Asheville Citizen has this to say of him. Uapt. Kaylor came here very recently irom Morganton under a contract with the architect, Mr. Melton, hie was ot noted skill in his avocation, and his services were much in demand, lie was a captain in the late war in the 16th regiment, commanded by Col. J S. McElroy. He was about 56 years of age, a wTidower, and leaves a family of several children. Mr. ti. M. Kent, ot Lenoir, was in town last week.

Grave Desecration. The Lenoir Topic says that srhouls have desecrated another grave in the Granite Falls section, in Caldwell county. The grave of a little child named Eury, who was burned to death last week, was opened on Sunday nieht and the cofhn was broken in, but nothin "else apparently was done. The Topithinks it is the work of some morbid crank with the instincts of a "Jack the Ripper," this being the second instance of grave desecra tion in that section within the past few months. iSsT'Call at Pearson Brothers for choice Seed Irish Potatoes.

When a man who has done his work in this world, dies, we natur ally recur to his achievements, and for our own sakes, as well as from affection and esteem for the way farer who has gone to his place, desire to preserve and perpetuate some record of what he has done. The record of a good woman's life is always devoid of stirring incidents and deeds of interest to the world at large; she was born she married she bore children she died; the circle of her useful ness is circumscribed she lives, and moves, and has her being: for the most part, within what many deem the narrow area of the affec tions; her daily works of tender ness and love, and charity touch ing home, kindred and friends, and the great army of the humble, sad, sick and sorrowful are such as no earthly applause rewards, no nourish of terrestrial trumpet salutes, but to those who measure human virtue by its approach to the standard of Divine excellence, the gracious beauty of a good woman's - well-spent life who exists r.ot to be ministered unto, but to minister is more worthy, of commemoration than the brightest deeds of valor in the fields, or the loftiest successes of wisdom in the cabinet is fuller of proht to us who are left behind than are the lives ot statesmen, or warriors, or poets, or philosophers. We come to lay our weak tribute ot appreciation ana regret upon the tomb of a "woman nobly planned" who, though sorely afflicted in her tenderest affections lived on, blessing and blest; cheer ful, full of comfort to those around her, neither shrinking from danger, nor avoiding unusual cares and responsibilities, nor repining at toil; satisfied in the circumstances in which her God had placed her, to accomplish the work set before her to fight a good fight right on to the last ! Care and trouble fell upon her, also, as one of the sisterhood of sorrow. Blow after blow fell heavily we will not withdraw the curtain which covers the events of a woman's life, which was essenti ally private, beautiful and of good report. It is enough that we who are left behind recognized through it all, as perhaps the leading trait in her character her unvarying ana cheerful submission to the will of God, her continued usefulness in the social circle in which she lived, and to which, to the last, she con tributed both strength and pleas ure. And we can now truly say, that she lived purely loved truly and died fearlessly. A Friend FURNITURE is in season all times of the year.
