Jr. A. DKAJj. tAllov and Proprietor. Entered at the Post-office in Wilkesboro asecond-tlas matter. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1891. Mr. Marehead Gray, the yiungest son of the late Julius j Gray, Hed last week. The State Chronicle has It pa- come out in a new dress. ;ia now an 8 page 6 column per.' it has also increased its v. we news facilities and is a regular .hustler. Prof. George T. Winston jhh.s been elected President of tjie University of North ,Caro-. Una, in place of Hon. Kemp attle, resigned to accept the a -wwe r m "w ww cnair oi History, irroi. win sion is in the -prime of life, a n of positive character and i itelligence, and will put foith Y is best energies in behalf of t ic institution. The selection i i all respects seems to be excellent one. an Complaints keep coming in that the mail is not delivered regularly along the railroad line, but is supposed to be car- ied up and down the line sev- ral days. t Mail that Delia- lane should get from here on Wednesdays, reeches there n Saturdays, sometimes. The oreign colored brother whom r. Harrison preferred over ur own intelligent republican oys, "native and to the man- ' wa fer Dorn," snouia treat our tail better than this. Of course, Mr. Harrison will not pounce him even if 'ho don't manage the mail properly, but still as a matter of justice our mail ought to be rightly han dled. Elsewhere is a list of the magistrates who voted on the bridge matter and how they voted. A number did .not vote at all. All those who voted -cast their ballots honestly, al though wo beleive that in some instances, as is natural to man kind, prejudice had some thing to do in deciding the matter. But we suppose ev ery one who voted is not a- f raid to go ; on record in the matter. As is known the mag istrates refused by vote to pay the balance due on the bridge. "Whereupon R. B. Glenn, atty for the Berlin Bridge Co., has begun suit against the county for the balance, and there is a first class opportunity for the county to have the privilege of paying tbe balance due and also a bill of cost for a big law suit. This action in the bridge mat ter, together with the fact that they failed to make any appro priation to have the resources of the county exhibited at' the Raleigh Fair, is not a very beautiful record to recommend us to the, world. Until our own people drop petty preju dices and exhibit a more liber al and public spirit, we can not expect to progress as we ought, and it is a mere profanation on foolishness to build any great hopes in tat direction. . r. Hardly Just. The county Commissioners made the followinlng order . , I "Ordered that the Bd of assessors of Wilkes co. adopt as a basis f of a fair estimation of Keal and Personal proper ty for the true cash -value, except money and solvent credits which shall be list ed at their face '. value." ' We do not. see where the point of Justice comes in. If notes and, Jjaoney are to be returned at face value, then it is only justice that .all other property should be returned at its face value ' in value, is A Pleasant Occasion!. . The entertainment-on the 4th inst, at the close of Miss Mamie Barber's school, was one of the most " pleasant occasions of the seasons Quite a number of. the patrons and friends of the school gathered to witness the exercises and enjo selves, and none were them- disap- pointed. j j The exercises opened with a pleasant and practical address by Col. W. H. H. Co wles. touch ing upon the oppertunities and responsibilities of youth, espe cialy appealing to the girls upon the important part of perpetuat ing, strengthening, and j correct ing the deficiencies of our civi lization, which rested Upon them. The 15 or 20 minutes he spoke, were well occupied. ' The regulai exercises then followed. This consisted of well selected instrumental music, vocal solos, duetts, trios, and quartetts, recitations and readings: The songs were sweet and nicely rendered, and there is nothing prettier than the voices of young and angel ically innocent girls blended in sweet song. In the performance of their instrumental selections the girls evinced an aptness not commonly seen, and their ad vancement and success in 'this branch was -j a beautiful ?and convincing compliment to the ability and industry of their ac complished teacher. The reci tations were nicely delivered. Little Fanny Bost j was the personification of her recitation 4The sweetest picture." j One of the prettiest and most beau tifully rendered pieces : was "Rock of Ages," by JMiss Cora Cowles. Miss Mattie Cooper sweetly recited thatj pathetic little poem "Waitinc: for the children." The scene that took place when "Baby's first tooth" appeared was graphical ly rendered by little Maud Wil cox. The story of the "Burning Ship," was cleverly; told by MissStimson. j f The teacher, Miss Barber, treated the audience to a very fino reading,. "The Soldier3 Home." . j ! ; There were two prizes award ed: The first to Miss Mattie Bee Cooper, for having attained the highest scholarship; the other to Miss Maud Wilcox, for having made the greatest efforts to win the prize. ' I . . Miss Barber takes great pride in her profession, and of course is very successful in implant upon her pupils the true spirit if education, and the correct principles of a successful, no ble life, j The scope of her teachings j not . only embraces book lore, but also a culture of the refining arts, necessary to befit one for the requirments of A noble and refined womanhood or manhood. I 3peaks and Saunders Bound over. The preliminary trial j of the Saunderses, Speaks and Griffy, for the murder of Murke . Har ris was heard before Justices Staley, Ginnings and Warren last week. Calvin Saunders and Wash Speaks were bound over t6 court. Wm. Saunders Phineas ! Saunders1 incl Thos. Griffy were.. discharged. It appaars frpm the evidence that Harris was going to see Mary Saunders, and that Calvin, her brother, andSpeaks had j made threats against him if he didn't stop. The deceased.boy Harris was at Saunders's the night he took sick.. .He had went there nil except a little, headache. basis and return ii at its total the way we look at it. Griffy, a son-in law of old man i Saunders, was there, but went I to bed early. Late in the night - . . ne was arousea ny groaning and moaning, and found Har ris in a chair by the fire in con vulsions, suffering terribly. Harris got in bed with Griffy but did not rest any. Next day he was carried home i where he died. The doctors were of the opinion that death was caused by injuries inflicted by blows. Speaks lived in i mile from Saunders's. The State's theo ry is that Speaks and Calvin Saunders carried out . their threats and gave Harris a ter rible thrashing. However, there is no positive evidence, and the case depends on the preceeding circumstances. Tote of the Maaistrates on the Bridge Matter. "NO." Edwards W. F. Alexander, F. A. Harris, H. A Durham.

C. Strangers wonder at its magnitude and are at a loss to under stand how it has been accomplished; the explanation is easy: Fair; Dealing, Economical Management, Minimum profits and a LARGE yOLUME OF BUSINESS ' . Has been our aim and policy and has contributed cKiefly, we believe, to the success we have thus far attained. It has become a well known fact and is said to tbe credit of oar people that merchan dise of every description is sold cheaper in Western North Carolina than anywhere in the South. New Yorkers frequently say to ua: 'Why, yoo folks sell goods cheaper than we do here." This we are pleased U admit and it is not a reTe&ation to many of oar best merchants. Experienced business men ara alive. to the fact that that the BetaH Merchant can buy to better advantage in Baltimore than in New York, a Eichmonf than in Baltimore and in St&tesville better still than in Richmond.
