This week is a general holi day I We expect to lay asiae the pares and pleasures of ed iting a country naDer for this wee r, and join with the rest.' of the people for. a few days ;'of rest land recreation. We wilL ther ef ore not publish next week But the Chronicle will resume its regular visits after next week.: While it is j.a season of p ing, easure, joy, and gift-mak-we are confident our indul- gent subscribers will not scruple to give us this one week off. We expect to enjoy the Xmas holidays, and we bespeak for for all our Subscribers a reason of commingled peace and joy and happiness. It is an occa sion in which sthe soul should have no thrill nor the heart no thro b save that of love and ec stacy; the eye should drop no tear save that of joy, and the psaln of life should contain no minor strain of sadness or re gret i It commemorates the oc casion of God's greatest ; gift to man,. and the human heart was thrilled : to the music of that j glad refrain, "Peace on earth, good will to man." bor row ! should find no abiding place and grief no harbor within the soul, j The sigh that I1 M 1 11 ' 1 ' A. is wont; to oe in ins neart, should be cast aside, and though it may return some other day, this is no time for it to sadden the soul. Let the merry bells of Xmas find a joyous response in everv heart, and home will be attovely joy and life a merry chime. Abundant happiness to you ail, it Xmas is here, and may it be a happy one to you all. There is some hopes that the Force Bill will yet die, in the Senate. . gi Boston, at the election a few days since went Democratic by aboiit 12,000 majorty. m If fche state Press would . ad- vertise the state half as much as they do "Kurnel" Polk, the state land the people would be 1 , much .better off. i . In rtefering to the assasination 01 Mr. reden last issue, we stated that it occurred just af ter tne war. It was a mistake. He was assassinated about the 1 . . . 1 year 104:4 It is consoling to : see that Hon.

' Wade Hepton. ; While Ham 3ton.is notjtebyilliant man his people have never had, nor ever will,a truer, more honest anymore faithful representative ,md wo are sorry to see hira downed. If Irby makes -as crood a representative, he is all right. The Indian! troubles are a bout to end. Sitting Bull, the great Indian Chief, and his son are dead, jand Baby McKee is back at the White House, and things are in fine shape for fin al settlements At least it is finally, settled with . Sitting Bull. k.. r r Edison has jtakenthe bumble bee for a pattern for his flying machine-! He doubtless is try ing to hit! upon some plan to keep the "bad boys" fronj stealing rides by catching on behind. If he gets a machine as perfect as. a bumble bee, he woht be bothered with " the boys more than once. Irby, Senator elect from S. C, though-yet young, has already an " interesting history. Back in -the seventies -Jie was out lawed for killing a man named Kilgore. j After getting but of that scrape, ! lie armed himself and painted the town of Laur ens red, and had to pay a sum to get out. He next covered a man with his j pistol, who had made him j mad, and com pelled a negro to cow hide him. Jle then gratified his "fun lov ing" nature f by slashing to peice3 a j justice of the peace who had offended him. But he afterwards reformed, joined the Alliance,; and. is now Senator. This should warn our boys to quit their meanness " as they don't know how soon they may be sent to the Senate by some organization.. G. D. Upchurch, late. Repub lican clerk of Superior Court of Wake county, who was. defeat ed at last election, is short to the.amount of $16,00.00. Up church left Raleigh soon after tne eiectionv ana it is statea he will not return unless ho is brought back underwarrant. The Vinston Republican, which. has to go away out west to find a Democratic official who has gone wrong,' can - now dive in right near home and pronounce its fine moral strict ures upon one of its own breth ren. I . Apples of Western N. C. j Prof. W. F. Massey, of .Ral eigh, writing in the Phila'del- pnia Jrresuriias tnis to say a- 1 bout tne apples of Western N. C: J. ' , , "The present scarcity of apples in most parts of the country, and the won-, derfully fine crop of them in the moun tains of Western North Carolina, i3 at tracting attention to the great capacity of this region for the production of this standard fruit. The wonderful luxuri ance of the apple, trees in this favored region is astonished to those accustom ed to the small Northern trees. -n one orchard in Haywood Courity two trees were measured. One ot them at four feet from the ground was nine feet eight inches in circumference, and an other nine feet six inches, and. there t were over 100 trees in this orchard fully three feet in .diameter of trunk. The tree measuring nine feet eight inches in girth spread ninety feet from tip to tip of branches and was estimated to have on it seventy-five barrels of apples. And yet these giants show no marks of de crepitude. Apples in this mountain re gion of North Carolina, unknown to the pomologicalj world, is bewildering. - The The Cherokees .raised many seeding trees and the whites have kept on in the'same line until now there is "an embarrassment of richies" of really fine apples, which makes a selection difficult. The result is that it is hard' to get lots of apples of any known, variety fron the mountain country. The growers there seem to consider an aj5ple, an apple, no matter what its " variety or color arid their usual practice hfis' been to gather all sorts, red. yellow,-; ?and, green,, and dump them' in together.; The. dealers will, no doubt in time bring about a change for they leave behind thera eorae valuable lessons for the growers in packing and shipping-; the firm fruit, j One nurseryman in Haywood County 1 t found growing Albemarle pippins as fine as any I ever saw in Virginia." . . . We desire to place Wilkes ; in competition with: Haywood or" any other section of the state as an apple sectionX We how ever do not attempt to rival prov. Massey s tree which bears "75 barrels" of apples." At present, witli the informa tion we have at hand, that tree is a little grain larger than any we have here. The nearest ap proach to it is an old tree at Kilby's Gap on the Brushy Mountains, from which was gathered years Ago the amount of 100 bushels But the "75 barrel" business downs us. But the Brushy jMountains of Wilkes, and all over the county cannot be excelled for the deep rich tints and the mellow sweet ness of the flavor of their fruits and the generally abundant crops.- j I True the attention and caie are not paid to apple culture that should be. j Tne orchards are principally very sparingly cultivated, and all kinds and qualtities of apples are gener ally mixed together, with the idea that apples are simply apples. . Xmas gift from you all. An Alabama paper boldly charges that Col. Lonely Lone some Polk, while .he, with Pharisaical arrogated self-right eousness, denounces free ,pas- ses, is inwardly a whited sep-ulcher,- and carries in his own pocket a contaminating "Free Pass." Polk has not denied it. Whether it is true, we do not know. i ne epecial quality of Aver a Il&ir igor is that it roe tore 8 the natural growth, color, and texture of the hair. It vitalizes the root and follicles, removes dandruff, and heals' itching humors in the scalp. In tbis respect, it sur passes all similar preparations. Atlanta Letter. i As l nave a lew moments alter am putating all the fingers of man's left hand who got caught in the machinery of the Oil Mills, I will write you a short letter. . I have been in Georgia nine years and have never seen such beauti ful weather as we have experienced this fall and winter. We have hardly had frost enough to kill out vegetion; "' One of the sensations todayyin police circles was the finding of a man's hand in a trash pile near the Central railroad roundhouse. The hand was white and tender and showed evidently " that j it was not used to hard work. The dis covery is wrapped in mistery Cand our excellent detectives are at work-on the case. : j 1 In our city also one Miss Lizzie Thorn as,' 22 years old, attempted suicide last night by shooting herself. . The pistol ball penetrated her breast just above the heart and glanced to the left side plowing through the flesh and breaking her left arm. I hear ho cause for the wild attempt. j Our Legislature is now in session and are doing some noble work. The rep resentative from Dawson county last night recieved a sad telegram. His son Charlie McClure and. others were out hunting and had treed a possum. .They cut down the tree, and as it fell it struck him and killed him instantly. . ! j Our city election resulted in electing W. A. Hemphill, of the Constitution, Mayor. ". . , In conclusion allow me to congratu late the people of Wilkesboro." on the arrival of the present R.
