Hamilton, of Beaver Creek, who runs a bank account at this place, as it had his name signed to it, and said he wanted it cashed so he could pay some freight bills for Mr. Hamilton.

Parleir keeps on hand & full line of general merchandise, and is also Post Master at Morav ian Falls, a position which he has held for twenty years. And to R. A. Spainhour many of the country merchants of Wilkes and adjoining counties owe the greater amount of their success in the handling of roots and herbs, as their barter always found a ready market with Mr. Spainhour; besides hundreds of the very poorest people over the country have been able to keep the wolf from tho door by "pullin' bark and getherin' yarbs"! Mr. Spainhour, for many years, hag been he leading dealer in Coots and herbs in Wilkes county. J. B. Leach has a wagon and buggy shop, alBO does any kind of black smithing, manufactures farming tools, etc. The Academy School at Mora vian has been a success for many vears.

Newspaper editing is a very funny amusement. If you give a man a puff he neer sees it ; but let one line against him appear, and he sees it before the paper is off the press; and while he would not have time to stop on the street to say "thank you" he has time to run all over town to denounce the editor who seeks to print all the news.

They all met about 2:30 with their hooks and lines, and after toiling for some time two old fellows were brought to shore one measuring 3 inches and the other about 3jt then the crowd concluded it would be better down stream so they all went off at a slow pac for the grand old Yadkin, but the writer learned late in the even ing from one of the party, before the river was reached another old fellow was brought out and that was enough for them twenty fishers and three fish to divide ! It wouldn't require a very healthy Junebug to fly away with each one's portion. We will just say in conclusion that it was as good looking crowd of girls as the "State of Wilkes" can afford.
