This is thanksgiving day and the

under very inauspicious circum
stances. Its early death was daily

that it feared death itself; but, on
account of the kind partiality of the
people of Iredell and Alexander
counties, it has grown, prospered
and no longer fears death. During
these four years it has built up much
the largest subscription list -of any
paper published in Iredell county
and a larger list than any other pa
per ever had in Iredell county. For
all of this kindness we are truly grate
ful on this thanksgiving morning,
anrl nni rf rmr crrfiat.fist reasons for
thankfulness is that this our thanks
giving greeting to our patrons will
ho rnsil in sn Tnanv nf the homes of
our people, and that the opportuni
ty is given to us to correct the mis
takes of the past and become more
useful to our l-eaders.
Among the Politicians.
The Democrats of Kentucky will
ignore the "gold" Democrats.
Hon. W. J. Bryan spoke to an
immense audience at St. Louis Fri

ed. It is understood that President

he. desires to honor in that way.
Speaker Ambrose F. Hileman, of
Cabarrus county, will be a candidate
for the Populist nomination for
Congress in this district next year.

Nebraska is 13,829. Last year Bry
an's majority was 13,470 a gain of
359.
Speaker Hileman says that the

must be taken away from Senator

John J. Jones, Republican Representative-elect

closeted with Governor Bushnell
most of last Saturday. Mr. Jones
refused to be interviewed, but said
to a Republican State official that
he would not vote for Senator Han
na. His consultation with Govern
or Bushnell is generally believed to
mean that the Governor is to re
ceive Mr. Jones' vote.

AahevtUt titten, -2Qth:
Congressman R. 2. Linney of the
Eighth North Carolina was here to
day to see Collector Harkins, re
turning home this afternoon. Mr.
Linney is as vigorous as ever, if
possibly more so, in his denunciation
of the civil service laws, and he is
never at a loss to select a strong
word with which to express the su
preme contempt he feels for any
rule that will prevent the victor
When asked what the coming Con
gress would do about it, the Con

His "New Scientific Treatment" has

lung troubles and consumption are curable
in any climate is proven by "heartfelt let

from those cured in all parts of the world.
Medicai experts concede that bronchial,
