The Charlotte Deniocrat says : " No u Charlotte clique "ran be accused of maKing nominations , inis year, kjuv farmer friends are satisfied, we hope, for one time, as the ticket is composed of farmers entirely, with one or two excep- tions.

Dr. Pritchard's " Notes of Travel," as published in Charity and Children, are exceedingly interesting. His last, dated at Rome, begins, " The old; Romans were a prodigeous people their ideas were of colossal 'vastness, " and ' the (evidence of their gigantic " conception's, ".meet the stranger on every hand as he examines the relics of theirancient greatness. The .mostvwonderful of all Rome's mightyH ruins is the Colosseum, &c -We learn -with pleasure that" Col. Paul C. Cameron has instructed Mr. Geo. 3. Hiss, Manager for the firm of Messrs. Van Gunden &'t Toung, of this city, to i grade the sidewalk and erect a stone re- taining-wall, with dressed stone coping, along the entire Sillsboro "street front of me ou .axary s ocnooi propenv, a uis- tance,' probably, :of - f our hundred : yards. This is but another of the Colonel's many generous donations to this - worthy insti tution of learping, and will be no less ap preciated by . the many citizens who use this thoroughfare than by the more im mediate friends and patrons of the insti tution. The- QcptlanJ $eck .Democrat . finds this paragrapK ihr an .exchange in ref erehce to ' its ' own town : " JTp towii cati thrive and prosper with "its stareets filled with2 loafers. f Look at our streets almost any day in the Week . and you will find -them .' filled with a ' noisy, half-clothed mob of loafers',- whoseenly" occupation appears :to be to sit ground bar-rooms and, ,ube&t" the .passers by out- of " set-ups. Let the authorities drive them out"6f town or make them so to work, and we guarantee our citizens will not wake tip so often of a morning and find their pantries so destitute of grocer ies that there isn't enough left for break fast" Elsewhere we print a large, . double colurnh advertisement of the live, ener getic and popular dry: goods firm of Messrs. Norris & Carter, and we advise our readers to examine it carefully before placing their orders. These gentlemen, who thoroughly understand the business in which they are engaged, knowing well how to buy and how to sell, handle im mense quantities of goods. In fact, their sales are so immense and rapid that it is next to impossible to get an old or shop worn article at their establishment They will not carry over stock from one season to another, and you will see from their ad. that they avoid it by making what they call " Special Reduction Rates," and close out unseasonable goods " Regard less of price." And another thing which commends this excellent firm is that while they are extensive advertisers they use no 4cant" or catch-penny phrases to deceive, but are Teady at all times to verify every statement they make. It affords us real pleasure to recommend this firm to the six. thousand readers of The Progressive Farmer. and on7 in:pa8sing his premises, needs only to. cast the eye over his well cul tivated fields to observe the result of energy and- scientific-skilL- -Mis-John; A.

A Grand Basket Pic Nic Auburn Alliance, No. 41, cordially invites every body, and especially all the members of the Farmers' Alliance in Wake and ad joining counties, to join them on the 29th inst, at Johnson & Barber's Grove, near Auburn, in a grand basket pic nic. They want the married men to bring their families and the unmarried men to bring their sweet little sweethearts and every one of them to bring a basket filled with good things to eat Remember it is a basket ptc nic and everybody is expected to help who can. They are big-hearted and hospitable, but a tremendous crowd is expected, and they are ; right in asking all to bring their baskets.-r Good speak- ers, a good dinner and a good time gen'-': erally is in store for -all' who may attend.
