S. Jones, the pastor, will move into

"It. will rain before tomorrow
night" was.a remark overheard at
the depot this morning. We
don't lay a wager on the statement
coming true but it may do so, if
it should accidentally cloud up.
The man who killed himself at
Newton Monday was Purnell Elli
ott instead of Joe as first learned,
nd the shooting was the result of
careles-dy handling a pistol. It
was therefore accidental.

Thau kg to the finer sensibilities
of, our young men the regulator
system has passed into the realms
of innocuous desuetude. The past
few nights have been spent in pleas

ravsi of a lovely moon have shed
its light upon a peaceful and' un
disturbed people. Thanks.

M. S. BROWN ASSIGNS.
Salisbury's Largest Clothier Closed Ills
Doors this Morningund Assigns forth
Benefit of His Creditors.
Last Friday morning our.. city
was startled by the announcement
that H. & L. Wright, clothing
dealers, had made an assignment,
and tbej were further startled this
morning by the announcement that
M. Sr Brown had closed1 his doors
and made an assignment r for- the
benefit of his creditors. '
For ten years Mr. Brown-has
conducted the largest clothing
buse in the city, and has done a
good business; .but owing to dull
trade and 4the .stringency of the
money market,, was forced to as
sign in order to save his creditors.
His assets are about $28,000 and
liabilities $22,000.
The preferred creditors are W. B.
Smoot, $50 for clerk hire; T. B.
Brown, $425 for clerk hire ; R. J.
Holmes, $400; First Natioual Bank,
850; " Mrs. E. A. Holmesy $600;
Davis & Wiley Bank, $700: O D.
Davis, -700; O. D. Davis, agent for
the Summertll fund, $300; Mrs. E.
W. Brown, $1,000; T. B. Brown,
$459; Ella. W. Brown, $300; Mrs.
Lizzie Jones, $654; Brown, Over
man & Williamson, $254.
Creditors of the second and third
clas3 embrace the largest majority
of the liabilities. c t , . . .
From the si&all amount of pre
ferred creditors! and the fact that
the assets are largely in excess of
liabilities, it is believed that all
debts will be paid in full.- The
assignment was made to Messrs.
Kerr Craige and Lee S. Overman.'

A Nobby Clothing Ketablishment.
r. T. L. Rodgers, manager ofi
the Macadam work, yesterday i-1
cided
to open a clothing hfiue,
with the public fountain as
the
scene or nis operations, lo ue-1
cide was to act, and by 3 o'clock in
the evening he had the entire rock
around the fountain strung with
about fifty coats and vests. The
display was quite nobby, and drew
the attention of-every body passing.
His sales did not amount to much
until late in the evening, when a
placard was placed npou the coats
announcing that thsy were closing
out at cost. This caught the eyes
of I. Lichten8tein aud Jule Whieh
ard as they were meandering by in
quest of a cigar, whn they decided
to examine the stock and, if ' a
suitable fit could be had would
make a purchase. They were not
long: in picking out several stylish
looking coats and in a jiffy were
trying them on. Lichtenstein
made a dozen comical gyratory mo
tions in getting in his, which $J
amused Whichard that he tore o
sleeve-entirely out of the coat
had selected. This ridiculous
the
uatiou in turn so excited the fBX
