R.W. Colvard Tasses away Suddenly.
At ljli home, in this county, on the
mornihg of the 15th of Jul', 1801, B.
:W. Cdlvard, ICsq., died suddenly of
hat ik snpposcd to have been cordiac
neuralgia. His health had been a little
feeblelfor sometime, but had not Inter
fered with hi attending- his duties aa
usual. I He attended Commissioners'
court, pf which he was chairman, on
Mondiy and Tuesday, the loth and 14th,
and wks as lively and jovial as usual.
He left for home rather late Tuesday
afternxm, reaching homo about 9
o'clock, lie was complaining a little of
colic He however at some supper,
took s mio medicine and retiring slept
well a 1 night. In the morning ho a
wokc seemingly well and all right. He
arose ; ind went out for a morning walk,
while his wife went about preparing
break ast. He soon returned to the
house complaining of intense pain in
his br -ast and shoulders. He lay down
upon he bed, and was given some med
icine : nd soon became easy. He told
his w fo to go ahead and complete
break ast, that he was alright and
shouU he get worse he would send for
her. In a few minutes one of tho chil
dren i an for the mother, but when she
reach d the bed side, ho had ceased to
breathe, the spirit had flown. The
news f his sudden death fell like a
thund erbolt and spread sorrow over all
our p ople. Little did he or his friends
think Tuesday afternoon that that kind
and j vial face would be cold in death
ere 12 hours should roll by.
He vras buried Thursday on the sum
mit o the hill above his home, the ser
vices being conducted by Kev. Mr.
Rice. He had selected this place for
buria sometime before. The attend
ance vas very large. Ilia wife and 7
childi en survive him.
Itacoa Winfield, Colvard was born
Aug. 1S32; married Nancy K. Whit
tingtc n Feb. 17, 1S67, and Joined the
31cth jdist church Sept. 1, -1S30.
In early life he struggled hard to ed
ucate himself, and surmounting the dis
advar bges of the times, he succeeded,
by th s dint of his own industry, In prc
parin ; himself for school teaching,
which he followed before tho war.
At he out-break of the war ho volun
teered and with hi.4 seven brothers -a
set f foura enlisted at Jefferson un
der Cipt. Crumpler, in Company A.,
First Regiment North Carol ina Cavalry,
9th Reg. State Troops. He enlisted un
der the act of tho Legislation, authori
zing the .raising of ten regiments 'for
and nring the war," and never after
wards had to re-enlist.
Up n the death of Capt. Crumpler,
Col. V. II. II. Cowles was appointed
CapU in, and early in the spring of ''02,
recog nizing Mr. Colvard's special fit
ness jv reason of his being an accurate
and c ireful accountant and excellent
pentr an. Col. Cowles made him Com
pany Clerk, and gave into his hands
the keeping of the accounts of tho Com
pany etc, which duties relieved him
of cei tain Camp duties, such aa guard,
police, etc. But when the bugle' sound
ed "Boot and Saddle", Rufus with his
steed which in honor of his former
occui ation of school teaching he called
"Edt cation", was always ready for ac
tion, and on the march or on picket,
on th a raid or in battle, he always per
form d his duty conscienciously and
faith ully.
Whilst a soldier and as citizen he
neve: used profane language, but was
alwa; s during the war and since strict
ly moral, temperate and upright, per
form ng every duty and incurring ev
ery p cril and hardship of a soldier's
life, ot for the love of war itself, ' but
In th 3 discharge of that duty ! which Is
the h ighest that tho citizen owes to the
State and the performance of which is
only bounded by his individual patri
otisn and courage.
Af er the war ended, he returned
horn 1 1 to assist, with that same zeal and
coun ge that characterized his war rec
ord," in rebuilding the wrecked and
wast 'd fortunes of his country. '
In Feb. 1379 he was appointed by the
Gove mora member of Board of Co.
Com ssioncrs, to fill the vacancy caused
by the appointment of A. M." Church,
a me mber of the Board, to tho offico of
Sher ff. In Bee. '82, he was elected
chai: man of the Board, to which po
sition he was continuously re-elected
and served till death. . ..
In every sphere, soldier, citizen or
civil otScial, he was kind; gentle in dis
position, 'pure of motivc,1devoted to du
ty arid in his honesty as rigged and
ruggM as the -rocky Fpurs beneatli
whole shadows hid life began and enclel
T!
rate, consciencious. a good financier
and his place will be bard to fill. His
death is an irreparable loss to the coun
ty as well as the home circle.
According to Col. Polk about
the only issue before the peo
ple is tne sub-treasury. Tariff,
free coinage, etc.. amounts t
nothing of importance. Th
tariff and! free" coinacro er
Polk's Alliance slogan till he
happened to find out that they
were pure old Democracy, then
he discovered that the- sub
treasury was the real thing
and tho other were simply "old
party twaddle." If some party
except the third party, were to
endorse the visionary sub-treas
ury, the Col. would have to
hunt up a new issue to make
his record consistant. The fact
is he don't propose to be satis
fied with, anything but himself,
let tho people's interests be
what they may. He means to
put the white folks of the
South at daggers' points!.
That's all.

jThe Conference which meets
here to-morrow will in all prob
ability select some place at
which toerect the District Par-,
sonage in the Mt. Airy District.
"Wilkcsboro should make all
the efforts in her power to get
tho location. It would certain
ly1 be a nice acquisiton for us.
Wilkcsboro- has the advan
tage in location, being near the
center of the District, over the
other places. And considering
the future before us aud our
other advantages, we should
surely be able to secure the par
sonage. Lot us make a con
certed, substantial effort.
Times are rather perilous for
the Missionaries in ChJma. They
have been massecreing some of
tho ministers sent there as mis
sionaries right recently.. The
Chinamen seem to b"e more bit-?
terly opposed to missionaries
now than ever, and it really
seems that it is not the correct
thing to send missionaries there
unless they and their families
have some means of self-protection.
Col. Cowles Erects a Monument to the
Han who Saved his Life.
3tie.mllo Landm-trk.
j The public is familiar with
the fact that during the war
John Allen Smith, of Cabarrus,
a private in tho First Regiment
of North Carolina Cavalry,
saved iho life of Col. W. H. H.
Cowles, now Congressman from
the Eighth District. Ever since
Col. Cowles has held Smith in
grateful remembrance and time
and again sent him some sub
stantial token of his gratitudel
Two years ago' last January
Smith died and as the last ser
vice which he could render him
Col. Cowles is having a monu
ment erected to his memory.
The monument will be a very
handsome one when finished. It
will bo about nine feet high aud
on one side of the shaft is cut
a sabre resting in its scabbard.
It is the work of 'Mr. T. J.
Rabe and is as perfect a repre
sentation as could possibly be
made. On the front of the base
is this inscription, "John Allen
Smith; born April 5, 1S35; died
January 19, 1889.VOri the front
is, "A Soldier of the First Reg
iment North Carolina Cavalry
in the War for Southern Inde
pendence l&Gl-'to," and on the
backj "Brave Comrade Rert in
Peace.' ' The monument will be
finished in a few days and will
be shipped to Cabarrus, where
it will be placed over the grave
of Smith under the direction of
the president of the Cabarrus
Countv .Veterans' - Association.
Wilkesboro opens her doors
to the District Conference this
week and sincerely hopes that
its members will have a pleas
ent sojourn with us.

We have received a new pub
lication, Tho Ashe Reporter,
published at Jeffersou, N". C.
.E. E. Rav is editor arid nub-
lisher. It is Democratic in poli
tics. It is nicely printed and is
filled with good matter.' It is a
creditable publication and has
our best wishes.
. The Alliance in Kansas re
fused to go into a fusion with
the Democrats in a ticket for
the next election, and the Dem
ocrats are going- to put out a
straight out ticket.
Greansboro paid ont $1100 ex
pences for the meeting of Bill
Fife, the professional evangel
ist. A poor child died the other
day in that city and was buried
in a cracker box, its mother be
ing too poor to i buy a coffin.
We leave the subject with you.
. Ayer's Hair Vigor has long held the
f irst place, as a hair-dressing, in the es
timation of the public. Ladies find that
this prepcration gives a beautiful gloss
to tho hair, and gentlemen use it to pre
vent baldness and cure humors in the
scalp.
Notice.
The Magistrates of "WH tea county are
hereby called to meet at the courthouse
in Wilkesboro on the 1st Monday in

paying the batance 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

What a Little Girl Thinks of Confer
ence. .
' (By request.)
Conference now is all the talk!
" Whether I ride or whether I walk,
No matter where or when I appear,,
Somthing of Conference I'm sure to hear.
: C
What it is Ii do not know;
J've no one to tell, to ma I can't go;
I asked her just the other day;
She said "Conference is coming, don't
bother me, pray!" y
Every one seems in a great hurry, .
And everything in a flurry;
Mamma is busy from morn till night,
For VConference is coming," and all
must be right.
I have a new dress, but cannot wear it
For mamma says perhaps I'd tear it
And then, she wouldn't know what to do,
For -'Conference is coming" arid very
soon too. . V . -
To-day in the closet some apgles-I found
And took a nice one, large and round,
And asked mamma if I could have it, .
"No, Conference - is coming and we
must save it."
I'm sure I doat know whit the matter;
She gives mo biscnit without any butter; ;
If I ask for soma I oalr hear, ;
"Conference ia coming and butter ia dear."
Preserves and jellie I never get any;
Ma has jars of both I don't knovr how many;
She aaid when I asked her for some t4ay,
rVe saved them for Conference, go away.".'
What Conference is to find out IVe tried;
"When I bear it has come I'll go and LiJe, .
Lest wh?n it has eaten all I see, -
It then will begin on poor littlo me.

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 H. 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
I LARGE VOLUME OF BUSINESS,
Has been our aim and policy and has contributed chiefly, wo
believe, to the success we have thus far attained.
It baa become a "ell known fact and is said to the credit of oar people that merchan
dise of every description is sold cheaper io Western North Carolina than anywhere ia
the South. New Yorkers frequently ay to ua; 4,Why, you folks sell goods cheaper
than we do here." This we are pleased to admit, and it i not a rartlalion to many of
oar best merchants. Experienced business men are alive to the fact that that the Retail
Merchant can bay to. better advantage in Baltimore than in New York, in Richmond
than in Baltimore and ia Statesville better still than in Richmond.
