hecoid-tlas matter.
j WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1891.'
There was a considerable Are
in Winston last week. The Ja
cob Tise block next to the court
house, toward the depot, caught
pre, and considerable damage
was done before the flames
were conquered by tho efforts
of the fire companies. ; j
Tho depot at Statesville was
burned last week. It is suppos
ed to have caught from the
combustion of oil in the ware
house. The records and some
of the f reinht in the depot were
3aved. There were two loaded
freight cars burned also. The
amount of tho damages is a-
bout $30,000.
I Editor Ramsey, of the Salis
bury- Watchman, he who wears
1-yaller" shoes, takea charge
as editor of the Progressive
Farmer. Col. Polk has ; been
looking for some one who.
could swallow the sub-treasu
ry scheme, and Ramsey is the
fellow. He it was while assis
tant editor of the Progressive
Farmer made the unwarrrn ta
ble attack upon Senator Vance.
He is about tho most complete
anarchist in the State, and Col.
Polk could not have found any
one better calculated to help
him boost up the third party.1
The Alliance Gov. of S. C.,
Tillman, and Ben Terrell are
to discuss the sub-treasury at
Spartanburg, Terrell for, Till
man against. It was under
stood all along that the debate
would be public. But Foster,
Pres. State Alliance, came out
in a card forbidding ' a public
debate, and says the discus
sion must be inside the Alli
ance with closed doors. It ap
pears then that the S. C. Alli
ance' is afraid of a public dis
cussion of the sub-treasury, j Is
this the' case everywhere? Bro
Hedrtck, of the. Taylorsville
Index has been attempting to
get up a public discussion of
this same sub-treasury but has
so far failed, because the Alli
ance wont put up their raati.
MsJ. TV. Yf. Hampton Jumps into s
Wetland is killed.
About 4 o'clock on the morn
ing of the 7th, at the residence
of his brother in Surry county,
ITaj, W. W. Hampton of this
county committed suicide I by
jumping into a 60 foot well.
- Ma Hampton had a severe
attack'of sickness this -spring
and had never fully recovered;
but appeared unsettled and S af
fected in mind and often ap
peared very despondent. His
brother had. taken him to his
home in Surry, hoping the
change would bo beneficial.
But he had been there but a
few days before the tragedy
occurred, j He was heard to get
up on the fatal ' morning, and
when( asked what he would
havestated that he could not
sleep and thought he would
walk about a little. No more
attention was paid to the mat
ter, till an hour or so later,
when, not finding him in the
room, search was made; his
shoes were found sitting by the
well. It was a new well, not
quite completed, and the plank
which covered the well were
moved apart,' and he was found
dead at the bottomof the ;wellf
his neck and backbone were
broken and his body badly
bruised up.
?Ini. Hamnton war a nv.n of
A
represented the county in the
Legislature in 1863. He was
about 66 years old, and about
4 years ago married Mrs. Mar-'
tin, a widow. He was a kind
ly man, generous, honorable,
clever, accommodating and his
friends numbered those who
knew him, and it is with pro
found regret they recieve the
intelligence of his sad death.
A Crowd of cadets at Indian
apolis, Ind., had. a tiff with
some negroes on the 4th, and
several of each was badly
carved up. President Harri
son had better have some kind
of a force bill passed to regu
late the races out there .in ;his
own State.
A Good Opportunity.
For two years there has" been
a vacant appointment from
this county in the Agricultur
al and Mechanical College at
Raleigh. I have the examina
tion papers and will take pleas
ure in serving any young man
aspiring to this appointment,
by examining him. It is a
gratuitous work on my part
done at tho request of the au
thorities of the College.

Carious, but not rare in Wilkes.
! Pattison Graham has a ewe
that a week or so ago gave
birth to three lambs triplets
two white, the other black.
T. A. Faw killed a crane last
week measuring from tip to

was over 5 feet high. .
Adam Snider, up on Reddies

culiar appearance he cannot

Notice,
Tho Magistrates of Wilkes county are
hereby called to meet at the courthouse
In Wllkesboro on the 1st Monday in
Aug. 1891 to consider the question of
paying the balance on the county bridge
at Wilkesboro, as suit has been started
against the county for the same; also
for the purpose of reducing the tax levy
for stock law purposes in certain town
ships, as the present levy will raise
more money than is necessary on ac
count of the increased valuation of
property. R. W.jCOLVARD,

Ayer's Hair Vigor has long held the
first place, as a hair diessing, in the es
timation of the public. Ladies find that
this preparation gives a beautiful gloss
to the the hair, and gentlemen use it to
prevent baldness and cure humors in
the scalp.

I LARGE VOLUME-OF BUSINESS,
Has Been our aim and policy and has contributed chiefly, T70
believe, to the success we have thus far attained.
. It has become a well known fact and is said to the credit of our people that merchan
dise of every description is sold cheaper in Western North Carolina than anywhere la
the South. New Yorkers frequently say to w: Why, yoa folks sell goods cheaper
than we do here." This we are pleased t" admit audi it is not a revelation to many cf

than in Baltimore and io StatesTilJe better still than in Richmond.
