THURSDAY, DEC. 31, 1896. LOCAL NEWS. ANNOUNCEMENT. 'Commencing January 1, 1897, all subscriptions to The Herald will be dropped at the expiration of the time paid for. We find that we are compelled to adopt this system that it is the only way by which the subscription business may be successfully con ducted; and we believe the sys tem will give better satisfaction l)oth to the subscriber and the publisher. In no case will the paper be sent, hei-eafter, on time. No doubt quite a number of our friends will think strange of us f or not sending the paper next week, but those who fail to get it will know that their subscrip tion has expired, and they are invited to renew if they wish the paper sentjonger. There are many of our subscribers w'lom we are not afraid to eredit,- but? we just simpiy can x anon rc. If there are any who do not want the paper upon these conditions, why they need not subscribe but the paper will be published just the same. Hoping soon to have the re newal of all those whose sub ventions have expired, and prom ising if possible to give a better paper in future, Yours for business, The Publisher. ; ; . v The last day of 1896. j New Year resolutions are in order.

Quite a popular amusement in Morganton. during Christmas week has been what is . called "turkey rolling." A certain dis tance is measured off and a stake is driven up. Those taking chances at the turkey are blind folded andgiven a wheelbarrow and, one at a time, roll for the stake. lhe person stop ping nearest the stake, in a given length of time, gets the turkey.

It Speeds Down the Mountain at a Rapid Rate and Rune Into Another Train at Old Fort No Lives Lost. An east-bound through freight got entirely beyond control Mon day night as it was coming down the mountain to Old Fort. The west-bound through freight had just stopped on tbe main line at Old Fort when the wild train came teariug around tbe bend above the depot and down through tbe yard. A collision conld not possibly have been prevented. There was a ter rible crash when the runaway train ran into the west bound freight, and tbe latter was driven several hundred yards down the track be fore comiug to a standstill. Every thing remained on the track. It Is said that the entire crew of both trains did all that conld be done to prevent the accident, and when they saw that a collision was in evitable, all hands jumped to av their lives. No one was hurt. The air brakes on tbe east-bound train failed 'to work and this was the cause of the runaway. We failed to learn the cxteut of the damage done to the engines, but it is rea sonable to suppose that they were pretty Oadly torn op. PERSONAL. Cloer-Perry. Miss Ella Perry, the fascinating daughter ot lapt. Alex. Ferry, and Mr. John A. Cloer, son of Mr. G. W. Cloer, and a handsome and clever salesman in tne erocerv store of Messrs.

Several beautiful anthems were rendered by the choir, and there were soul-stirring songs iu which the congregation joined. There were also delightful songs by the Sunday school children. The service opened with prayer and the readiug of a passage of scrip ture in which a service of this character, as was explained by. the pastor,Rev. Dr. Leith, is approved aud even1; commanded and is pleasing in the sight of the Lord. The songs were iuterspersed with appropriate remarks by the 'pas tor. Altogether it was an inter esting service and, it . is to be hoped, a profitable, one. Mrs. Melton Dead. The following paragraph will be read with sorrow by many citizens of Morganton and the county.

After a most excellent feast, which Mrs. Avery knows so well how to prepare, the young folks spent a most pleasant ing in. plays and games. way in which Mr. Avery swallowed a spoonful of salt, thinking it sugar, and the beautiful face he made, caused a roar of laughter.
