Entered at the Foit-ojjice in Wilkesboro assetnd-la matter. WEDNESDAY, JUNE IT, 1891. The Winston West End Land Co. will have a big 6ale on July 1 Uncle Jerry Rusko and Gen eral Wanamaker will be at the Raleigh fair. Mr. Harrison will come too, "if he possibly can. Col. T. C. Fuller, of Raleigh, has recieved at the hands of President Harrisonlhe appoint ment to a judgeship in the court of Private Land Claims. This is a compliment worthily bestowed, and one which the many friends of Col. Fuller liighly appreciate. In the case in the Federal court at Raleigh where the e lection board of Warren coun ty was charged with commit ting fraud, the jury after be ing out for 8 minutes returned a verdict of "not guilty." A Similar case against the board of New Hanover was noi prosed. Thus the republican campaign thunder was ex ploded in their own court. There was a debate held up in the mountains of Mitchell some. time ago, so report says, on this question: "Which destroy the most fowles, The preachers or tho owls." The question was decided in favor of the preachers. Ac cording to this, Mitchell must have more preachers than she is generally given credit for, when they can thus successful ly compete with the large host of owls native to that county. Wo remember of no time when severe storms and wind were so frequent in our section and fraught with such damage, as now. The smooth even ten or of .the way of the weather of years ago, is giving way to tho irregular, turbulant, con vulsive state, heretofore in such good standing in the trans-Mississippi regions. The weather appearantly is keep ing pace with tho present tur bulant, restless passions of hu manity, which in a measure are being fanned from one to the other extreme by appeals of prejudice. ' Statesvillo is taking a new departure in the character lof a development company. This company have 1300 acres and offer for salo 1050. Tho lots are 50x140 feet, and are offered at $55 apiece, $15 cash, balance $10 per month. Enough lots have been sold to pay for the land, and the company will put the net proceeds arising from subsequent sales back on ; the property in improvements. The purchaser gets a lot cheap and is also . assured that part of the money will go back on the property in improvements. This is a new and wise policy which is certain build up States ville, though the company may not directly make the money out of it as they might other wise have done. We are favorably struck with tbe plan, and if Wilkes boro could adopt some such plan, we are confident there would be a livelier move ) here in a short time. "My father, at about tbe age of fifty, lost all the hair from the top of his bead. After one month's "trial of, Ayer's Hair Vigor, the hair began coming, and in three months, he nad a fine growth of hair of natural color.' P. J. Cullen, Ct rio"o Prr? r " , -N.' Y. The Mnsleal Concert. The musical concert ctfven by Miss Ida Greene and music class, which came off Friday night at the court house, was quite a success. The house was entirely filled with a most orderly and well behaved au dience.

It represented the ca dets' holiday, in which they with the village girls have a delightful picnic. The picnic party is interrupted by two peddlars which were so well personated by Charlie Cowles and Alice Smoak. The bys drilled very nicely under Capt. James McNeil, and the girls and boys sane their picnic songs very sweetly indeed. All the parts were splendidly rendered. The stage was nicely and tastefully arranged and dec orated with flowers and paint ings, Miss Gray kindly furnish ing a number of her beautiful drawings. The exercises were all that could be expected, and every body, (except those who didnt attend, or who tried to get in at the windows), - seemed well pleased. The proceeds of Friday night were $27.35. Cape Fear k ClneUnaU! B. B. The Southport Leader publishes the following extracts of a letter from Vice- President Morton of the Cape Fear & Cincinnattl Bailroad, which line is to come by Wilkesboro: "Things in S. C are booming for us to-day, (Jane 1), meetings are "being held in fire townships to take action on voting ns subscriptions. Have nearly one million dollars, $925,000 actual fig ures. We are not making miich noise, but we are working. "Our Boston syndicate have just written me. asking me if I can find gar den truck farmimg land' enough, say 100,000 acres, to put 2.00C German fami lies upon. They want land along the line of our road. Theyvwrite me these Germans have money to pay for their lands. We also have 500 families of Scotch farmers awaiting notice from Steamship Company, as to time when they can locate on the Road. 200 fam ilies of French fruit growers are guar anteed by the French Consul, to raise grapes for market aad wine purposes. Under the new process for curing the grape, they would also be enabled to dry grapes for raisins. "A n&rtv df cam 1 cm on Tiota o QaTii1 J Ine that as soon as we get a Northwes tern outlet, they will arrange to have a steamship a week touch at- Southport on their way to and from South Ameri ca. The coffee trade alone to the Northwest they say will warrant their stopping." A beautiful map of this line has been published. We have been shown the one which Mr. Cowles has. The line runs by Wilkesboro. Those fruit and grape grow ers can not find along the en tire line as excellent a place for their business as here in Wilkes. Notice. The B'd of Co.

I flo! for Wen The Garden Spot of the World! IN VARIETY OF PRODUCTS it Surpasses all oilier sections- Owing: to its wonderful natural resources it was possible to establish here the most extensive Herbarium on the Globe, and with it side by side has grown up the ! LARGEST WHOLESALE ESTABLISHMENT in II. 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 f LARGE VOLUME OF BUSINESS, Has been our aim and policy and has contributed chiefly, we believeto the success we have thus far attained. It baa become a well known fact and is said to tbe credit of our people that merchan dise of every description is sold cheaper in Western North Carolina than anywhere in tbe Sooth. New Yorkers frequently say to ns: Why, yon folks sell goods cheaper than we do here." This we are pleased to admit aod it is not a revelation to many of our best merchants. Experienced business men are alive to4the fact that that the Retail Merchant cao buy to better advantage in Baltimore thao in New York, in Richmond than in. Baltimore and in Statesville better still than in Richmond. By Making Large PurcHASEs - -.
