Work has commenced on re building the R. & D. freight depot. Mitchell Court is in session this week. It will be a two weeks term. About five hundred people were converted at the Fife meet ings at Newton last week. The young people have had several dances in the Town Hall during the past week, winding up with a german on Tuesday night. Byard Walls has bought a lot from Mr. George Howard on East Union street, and is putting the lumber on the ground for a neat residence. A neat porter's lodge is being built in the Asylum grounds on the new macadamized road. Gardener Bush will occupy it when finished. The project of bridging Break Neck" is again under dis cussion. We hope to see the bridge built. It would be a great thing for the East End. A number of our citizens, mindful of the coal famine of last winter, are putting in their sup plies of coal now while the ther moneter is up in the eighties. Mr. J. F. Battle has bought from Mr. S. D. Dunavant the old Beach propeaty on Green street. He will tear away the unsightly old buildings and erect a new residence. The mails have been quite irregular for the past few days, owing to the destruction of the Yadkin river bridge on the R. & D. below Salisbury by the big freight wreck last Saturday. Mr. R. A. CoLb is in Bakers ville this week advertising the Burke County Fair and looking after the interests of The Herald, which already has a large circula tion in Mitchell county. Union services were held in the Court House last Sunday night, and about six hundred peo ple were in attendance. The ser mon was preached by Rev. Mr. Marion, the pastor of the Presby terian church. So many changes and im provements are being made in the streets of Morganton that the citi zen who starts out from home in the morning is sometimes puzzled to find his way home at night even when cool sober. Mr. J. S. Bean, who lives near the mouth of Lower Creek, sends us a fine sample of golden tobacco of which he is curing six barns, this season. Mr. Bean uses the new patent tobacco stick. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Walton gave an elegant entertainment to a large party of their friends last Saturday evening at their resi dence on West Union street. Progressive euchre was a promi nent feature of the evening. Alfred Flemming, a well-to-do colored man, who lives on the Rutherford road near Morganton brings us ' samples of a second crop of strawberries grown on his place t- season. He says his strawbe-.y vines are full of them, and they are beginning to ripen. Alfred reads The Herald regu larly, and it is no wonder that he ; is unusually prosperous and happy. 1 Mess. Newland and Black- burn, the Democratic and Repub I lican candidates for Solicitor res- I pectively, crossed swords for the I first time in Lenoir on Tuesday of last week. We did not have the pleasure of hearing the discussion, which was spicy and spirited on both sides, but we heard enough from those who were present to lead us to believe that Newland will have Blackburn's scalp dang ling from his belt when the cam paign closes. Several dogs around town that were bitten by the mad dog on Tuesday morning have been shot by the town authorities. This unpleasant duty brought on fight between Mr. R. F. Goodson and Sam Hern. Goodson had been deputed by Town Marshal Ward to shoot Hern's dog, and Sam resisted the execution of the order. The doe was shot, and friends interposed between the be legerents and prevented serious damage being done on either side, Mess. Avery and Reid, the Democratic nominees for the Sen ate in this district, opened the ball at Lenoir last Wednesday, ad dressing a large audience of Cald well's solid citizens. Both of the sneakers made a fine impression and Mr. Avery's effort won him The Senatorial maiden political much applause, candidates will make a fine trict. They canvass of the dis are at Bakersville this week, citizens of week. and will address the Mitchell during court 7 Dunne the file meetings in Newton last Sunday, while ser vices were being held in the big canvass tent, a violent wind storm broke over the town, and in a few minutes the big tent collapsed and enveloped the ttrror-stneken peo pie in its folds as it fell. There was a genuine panic for a few minutes, but it was soon found that very little damage had been done, and the big congregation all escaped without injury except three who were slightly injured by a tailing tent pole. A correspondent of the Lenoi Topic is ureine the nomination of Solicitor Bower for the Legisla lure trom Caldwell. We have no idea that Mr. Bower would accept the nomination ; unless the inter ests of the party urgently demand ed it, and that can hardly be the case when Caldwell has "so many good Democrats who will accept When Bower goes to the legisla ture again we think it will be the national and not the State legisla ture. He would make a splendid representative in either. f the speeches made by the Senatorial candidates in Lenoir last week the Topic says: "Dr. Reid, who made a very fine speech was well received and found him self very much at home in Cald well, where he met with a number of his old war comrades. Ike Avery made a dashing speech and everybody who heard him be came friendly to him. Nobody can resist the frank, candid, manly manner of the patriotic young Senator." Capt. Corpening and his force of street hands are polishing up West Union street. By the time they are through with it the old est inhabitant would not recognize it. The pavements on both sides of the street between the property of Col. B. S. Gaither and Mr. S. T. Pearson on one side and of Capt. G. P. Erwin on the other have been graded down to the street level, the sreets has been raised several feet in the centre and the yards have been graded down, so that the dwellings all show up well from the street. It is a vast improvement, and will render this popular street still more attractive. And now they say that Doctor Tyre York will be the candidate who will run against Col. Cowles in this district. From what we know of the Doctor's versatility in matters political we may expect to see him come blushing before the people as the Democratic-Liberal-Republican-Alliance can d i -date, and stand upon a platform as many hued as the rainbow and as changing as the kaleidoscope. What Doctor York does not know about parties old and new is not worth knowing, for he has tried them all. We hope the Doctor will again tell the people of the mountain counties how the Dem ocrats are conspiring to compass their ruin by putting young mules and cabbage heads on the free list. The Burke County Fair will be a great thing for Morganton and Burke county, and our people should do everything within their power to make it a' conspicuous success. Everybody is interested in having the display made as creditable and the crowds of visit ors as large as possible. The pre miums offered by the managers of the Fair are as large and as nu merous as they could well offer for a beginning. We would like to see some of our business men sup plement the list by offering special premiums. It would aid the rair Association, and prove a cheap and effective method of advertis- ng. If the managers of the Fair would make a canvass of the town we are confident they could secure a number of special premiums for the Fair. The impression seems to pre vail in certain parts of the county that the next Legislature may pass a stock law for some of the Burke county townships. There is no danger of any such thing. The next Legislature will un doubtedly be Democratic, and we know that it is not Democratic policy to interfere in a matter so purely local as the stock law ques tion. The people must settle the matter among themselves. When the majority of the people want the stock law they can get it by voting for it, and it is not Demo cratic to force the matter against the wishes of the majority. This is the view of the matter that is taken by the Democratic Senato rial nominees from this district, and the Democratic member of the House will doubtless look at it in the same light. The ladies of Asheville have made a move in the right direc tion in organizing a society having for its object the management of the servant girl problem, which is one of the burning questions of the period. They propose to fix a tair rate ot wages ana to tormu- late rules which will prevent ser vants from leaving their employers at any time without cause and without notice. We are very modest about making suggestions to the ladies, but we will venture on commending to the house keepers of Morganton the exam pie of their Asheville sisters. As matters now stand in these parts the kitchen queens rule their sub jects with a rod of iron, (the stove lack) and keep them in a constant state of suspense and terror, we would like to see the ladies or ganize and issue a new emancipa tion proclamation. We mentioned some weeks since that a gallon of water from Mr. W. H. Pearson's well had been sent to the State Agricultural Ex periment Station for analysis Dr. cattle s analysis, which we have seen is as follows: "One U. S, gallon contains on evaporation, solidsio.pi grains, showing cx istence of the following m solution : chloride sodium, sulphate sodium, sulphate magnesium, sulphate calcium, sulphide iron,' hydrosul- phate sodium, hydrosulphate cal cium (trace), hydrogen sulphide (strong:), bicarbonate iron, alum- ma, silica." The water is thought to Dossess remarkable medicinal properties, and a number of ou citizens are using it. Another remarkable spring near Morgan ton is the "Spa,' situated, on the W. N. C. R.

"A small, ugly black cur trotted through Morganton Tuesday morning about eight o'clock, and wound up its career near the Magnolia rail road bridge with a bullet through its head. Before a ball from Capt. Corpening's pistol had put an end to its exist ence, however, it had created such a panic in Morganton as will not be forgotten ior many a long day. The first appearance of the vicious little monster was in the yard of Mr. G. A. Loven, just east of the town limits, where it made an at tack on Charlie Loven. Loven kicked the dog away from him several times until his foot slipped on the wet grass and he fell, the rabid beast rushing over him and brushing his face with its muzzle, and then dashing off leaving him badly scared but unhurt. A hog on Mr. Loven's premises was bit ten by the dog, and then it made a bee line for town, coming up the lane between the residences of Mess. E. B. Clay well and J. A. Dickson, snapping at everything in its path. Near the Morgan Manufacturing Company's estab lishment it sprang on a negro named John Bristol, fastening its fangs in the lapel of his coat, but not succeeding in biting him. A little further up Union street it encountered Jerome Wortman, a boy about ten years old, a son of Mr. W. A. Wortman, and tore his coat sleeve with its teeth, but the negro John Bristol came to the rescue, and drove the dog toward the public square. Here the cry ot maa aog was raised and a crowd of men and boys got in hot pursuit of the dog, which had attacked a lot of children play ing in the street near the resi dence "of Mr. I. I. Davis. Mr. J. A. Perry got a new breech loading shot gun at Gillam & Shupings hardware store, and coming up with the dog at the in tersection of College and Union streets tried to shoot it but the gun snapped, and the dog turned and rushed at Mr. Perry, who clubbed che gun and struck at the dog, but it was so close to him that his hand was drawn through the dog's mouth in making the blow, and an ugly wound was made on one of his fingers by the dog's teeth. The dog then turn ed and ran off, biting a dog be longing to Robert Smyre in its course, and disappearing in the weeds on a lot back of Dr. Tull's res idence before any one could shoot it. About a half hour later it turned up in the Rutherford road near the railroad bridge, where it attacked Will Patton, a little negro boy rejoicing in the sobriquet of "Bag-pipe," making a savage dash at his throat. The darkie caught the dog by the throat and held it off until both boy and dog fell down, the boy on top. Bag-pipe held his grip on the beasts throat until he regained his feet, when he broke away and ran off the dog in pursuit. At this interesting juncture Capt. W. P. Corpening rode up and shot the dog dead in its tracks. It was afterwards learned that in the interval be tween the disappearance of the dog near Doctor Tulles and its attack on "Bag-pipe" sev eral other dogs, pigs and a cow or two had been bitten by it. Mr. Perry's wound was promptly cau terized by Dr. J. R. Anderson, and mad stone in the possession of Judge Avery way applied. The stone adhered to the wound on two separate applications and it is hoped that the rabid virus, if the dog had a genuine case of rabies, was all absorbed by the stone. The dog was a Misshapen black cur. Its head was very much swollen and its tongue had been nearly all bitten off in its frenzied attempts to work mis chief. The Fife Meetings. Every preparation is being made tor the fire meetings, which will commence here next Sunday morning and continue for eight days. Mr. Arthur Butt, of Char lotte, will arrive to-day, and will superintend the erection of his large tabernacle, which has seating capacity of 2000. and which will be placed on the vacant lot in front of the Methodist church, at the corner of King and (Jueen streets. Mr. Butt will to night take charge of the choir of sixty voices, which is now in training for the meetings. A let' ter from Mr. Fife, to Mr. W. A Ross, secretary of the Morganton Y. M. C. A., says that he will reach Morganton Saturday afternoon and that the regular hours of meeting during the week will be 10.30 a. m. and 7,30 p. m. The choir is having nightly practice in the Court House this week, and a daily prayer meeting is held in the Court House every day at 12 M. The railroads have given re duced rates toMorganton during the meetings, and the hotels will entertain visitors at the rate o one dollar per day, less than half the usual rate. It is to be hoped that as many of our citizens as can will arrange to accommodate visitors during: tne meeting's, so that no one may fail to eret com fortable quarters. Senatorial Executive Committee In our account of the Democrat ic Senatorial Convention, at Ma rion, published some weeks since, we neglected to publish the names of the new Executive Committee of the thirty-sixth district. Mr, J. C. L. Bird, of Marion, who chairman of the committee, kind ly furnishes, us with the list, which is as follows : McDowell, Caldwell, Mitchell, Burke, Yancey, J. C. L. Bird C. Newland W, J. K.
