D.,will preach a special sermon to the R. & G. R. R. Relief Association in Edenton St, Methodist Church, Raleigh.next Sun day, Aug. 10th 1890 at 11 a. m. It certainly is strange that persons will fail to list their taxes, when they must know that a failure to do bo til 0t. them into trouble The county commissioners are after them, and all who have failed to l?st had better o and explain their negli gence. It is understood that the counsel for Officer Hogue have deterin'ned not to sue out a writ of habeas cor pus, and consequently, their client will remain in custody without bail until the .next term of the Superior Court of Wake county conmuncing September 23d. Barbecue. The Farmers' Alliance of Swift Creek Township gave a barbecue to day at Inwood church. Swift Creek Tnwnshirj. A larare crowd went out from this city iocluding the Executive Committee of the Farmers' Alliance, who are here on offioial business, Ttanbtlesa the occasion was one of great enjoyment. .Journalism. Col. John C. Tipton, the sprightly and able editor of the Patriot, has retired from that paper, but it is an nounced that the press is not to lose his valuable set vices. The Twin City Daily, always an excellent paper, has added to its at tractions telegraphic dispatches, aud will, we hope, find still more favor with its appreciative patrons. Personal Mention. Thos. R. Purnell, Esq., has gone to Winston.. Rev. John S. Watkins will preach at the Union Mission tonight. These meetipgB are highly interring and instructive.

The bene- .fieiarM under the act are exeonfed erate soldiers.and the widows of such. For several years the amount paid oat for pensions has been small, there being an appropriation of $80,000. Last year there were four thousand pensioners. Application blanks were sent out by Auditor Sanderlin.on the 1st of last March.and the law requires them to be filled up and returned not later than August 4th. It is now said that about one thousand applications have not been returned, and as the Auditor has no authority to extend the time, it may work great hardship inmanv instances. It is indeed a serious neglect ' A Fine .Outlook. Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. E. B. Barbee has returned from a North ern trip during which he gathered much information concernng the general business outlook. He says. while in New York, he visited the board of trade and lea; aed that the prospects for the- fall trade were ex cellent and that good prices may be expected for cotton. The outlook for cereals is fine and breadstuffs w'11 no doubt command a fair price.' Mr. Barbee is one of our most suc cessful wholesale grocery and cotton dealers, find his observations in the mercantile line can be accepted as worthy of the most favorable consid eration. His repoiU are ft 'I of en couragement. The Pound Party to be Held Tonight. xnemoiD'ng papers stated tnat a pound party would be given tomor row night at the pastor's home of the First Baptist Church in the 'nteresfc of the poor of tins city.

A called meeting of the bof rd of Aldermen took place last right. A motion to appropriate $150 for the Governors Guard for the year com mencing August 1st, 1890, was adopt ed. ; A report was submitted from the local board of health condemning the discharge of waste water from waier pipes, soda fountains public fountain, etc., into unpaved gutters, and re commending an ordinance requiting the water to be emptied into, the common se wer. The report was adop ted. The proposition made by the Light ing Company at the last meeting. was declined by it he committee. It was as follows: That in lieu of the fifty arc electric lights of 12v0 caudle power (so called) the city accept fifteen arc lights and two hundred red gas lights. The com mittee set forth that the contract yith ine JL.ignnng company caned lor six- ty thousand cardie power; and that the proposition made by the company (fifteen electric and two hundred gas lights) would not amount to one third of the lighting power called for. Therefore the committee recommend ed that the Lighting Company be re quired to furnish the sixty thousand! candle power, and if this power could not be provided by the fifty lights now running, that the company might add a sufficient number of lights to make up the aggregate of full sixty thocand candle power. The result of the discussion was that the light committee withdrew the report for f ut ther consideration, and will make another report at a subsequent meeting. Aldermen Latta and Leach were re quested to act with the light com mitteee in arranging another report. A Faithful Old Slave. BHRFFlEtD, Ala., August 5 A char acter wbose name should be in histo ry is dead in an adjoining county. He was know a as "Uncle Dave." All who knew him respected him. He wa6 brought to this section in 1814 by his masters, Col. JohnHutchings and Gen. Andrew Jackson. They settled on a farm about ten miles above the preseut site of Sheffield andjopposite the mouth of Elk River. This fat ui, is the propei ty of A'ex. Jackson. Uncle Dave was always a body ser va at aud the trusted lieutenant of Gen. Jackson ;n p'l things that could oe councteu to a servant, tie was earned with his master into the In dian Territory when the famous treaty was made. He was also car ried with Gen. Coffee on several im portant mrveys. He carried the chain wht-a Gen. Jackson and associates laid off York Bluff, now Sheffield. He was the drst man to ride the import ed stal'ion Leviathan, and took as much interest in the racing string as any" of the owners. The most beautiful, touching and pathetic feature of his. ife was the de votion to the memory of his wife, Ka tie, who was born in 1792 and died '.n 1812. He never married again, but every day, at the same hour, in sla very and in freedom, he went to her grave, and kneeling there, offered a fervent prayer. He was a christian, and no one doubted his religion, his honesty, his fidelity or bis truth. The exact date of his birth is unknown. but he was at least a centenarian,and from the best data to be had he was 108 years old. His body will be buried beside that of Katie. Comforting the Widow. An Irishman having been acciden tally killed in the town where he lived, two of his comrades were tak ing him home to his wife, who had not heard the sad news. "Well, Pat, we must break the news gintly to the widdy." "Yes, yes," said Pat; "I will go I ahead and break the news to her." He went in before and knocking at the door of the house asked if the widow Murphy was in. "No," she said, "I'm Mrs. Murphy." "It's a lie," said he, "your husband's . .. corpse 's coming round the corner now." The Greater Fool. "There was a certain nobleman," says Bishop Hall, "who keptafool.to whom he one day gave a staff, with a charge to keep it till he should meet with one who was a greater fool than himself. Not many years after the nobleman fell sick even unto death. The fool came to see him. His sick lord said to him: "I must shortly leave you." "And whither art thou going?" said the fool. "Into another world," replied his lordship. "And when will you come again? Within a month?" "No." "Within a year?" "No" ''When, then?" "Never," "Nevei!" said the fool, "and what provisions hast thou made for thy en- tertainment there, whither thou goest?" "None at all." "No!" said the fool "none at all 1 Here take my staff; for with all my folly I am not guilty of any such folly as this." When women, according to U.raul Bourget, has lost every rag of charao- ter she still clings fondly to an aatt - macassar. SPECIAL NOTICES. No. 1 sugar cured hams received to-1 day, 8 to 10 Tbs. 2t R.

Last summer was uncomfortably coo!. A hot summer like this, with a few days of cool weather thrown in every now and then to brace us up. is just the season for good health. The greatest discomfort comes from the absence of ice in the rural districts. The ice ma chine is growing rapidly in favor,and by another summer every village can have its ice and cold storage plant. Richmond State. A press dispatch dated London, Aug. 1, says: Letters from South America represent that the Chilians Bcorn the idea of extending any trade advantageous to the United States. They claim that their copper pro ducing inducin? industry was greatly I injured by the American tariff, and L.- woiiu upuu iucu guvu wui as land. A smilar feeling toward the United States is said to be prevalent in the Argentine Republic. Stanley's) brother in law, just ar rived in New York, says: "Mr. Stan ley was still very ill when I left home but Dr. Parke, his physician, who met him at Cairo on his return from Africa, hopes to pull him through all right. He has, I suppose, what is known as jungle fever, and his sys tem is still full of malaria." 'Call no man happy," says Solon "till he is dead." "Call no man un happy," Socrates added, ' till he is married. If every religion were destroyed by rer son, it would be restored by emo tion.
