'! The "Wilkesboro Land j and Development Co. is an assured fact. It is a certainty. The company will proceed under the charter granted by the Legislature of 1891. i Mr. J. W. Bost, of New York, is the man who has worked the matter up and made it a cerjta?inty. i Options have been procured upon the lands of Col. Calvin J. Cowles, H. Curtis, I. T. Pre vette, D. E. Smoak, and the Hackett heirs. This embraces the territory principally of the western part of town. This insures the success of the enterprise. Mr. Bost is now at work ma king the necessary arrange yments for the organization of the Company. Over half I the number of members necessary for organization have already been procured, and the com pany will have been regularly organized for business in , a few days. M One week ago, Mr. Bost came here, and upon seeing the opportunities and adyan tages of Wilkesboro and the beautifullv country surround- . f . ing her, his wholesoul was at once enlisted in behalf of this enterprise which will .so very materially assist in the devel opment of, our town and sec tion more rapidly than hereto fore. , Althoueh Wilkesboro ' has been steadily moving along since the arrival of the "Iron Hoss," yet with the quicken- influence of a live Land and Development Co., we feel as sured that new life will be in jected into the onward march and stens of progress will be longer and livelier. The- hand of progress still points full to the front and Wilkesboro is proceeding. How do You Like it? If the Democrats who; have gone wild under the preaching of Polk and Butler, would just stop and think, they could see where their action is leading us and them. . As the split in Democracy seems to grow wi der and more serious the Re publican party, and especially the negroes become more bold and arrogant The colored brethren are finding out that they form the principal bulk of the republican party, and pro pose to take charge of the State.! In Greensboro at the depot last week, a prominent colored man was overheard to say that "negroes were the the Republican party in North Carolina. That they were the equals of their white Repub lican brethren, in the pulpit,! in the bar and in every respect j He said he had held a position in Washington 2 years; that We don't see anything wrong j with Buck Kitchen, of Halifax, for Governor.

It is now pretty generally understood that Mr. Butler ex pects to launch his third party iii big shape on the 17th. Thirty-three Alliancemen of Iredell held a secret meeting list week and selected a State and. county ticket, although the Alliance "haint in politics and never was." Statesville witnessed a duel last week. The fist was the weapon used. Wm. Pinkus 'and Milt McCorkle were the duelists and no one was hurt bkdly.

The supper was superb; every dainty that could tempt the appetite being therefso beautifully arranged that it was a pleasure to the sight as well as the taste. Dancing was the chief amusement of the occasion and it was four o'clock in the morning ere the fair belles and handsome beaux grew weary or thought of needed rest. On waking, the . sun shone forth a greeting bright and beau tiful to the fair lady whose bridal morn this was to be; and before the time for for the marriage the house was full of friends and relatives who had gatliered to wish her every happiness possible on earth and to say good-bye to her as she entered her new life and home. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. B. Turrentine, pastor of the Methodist church at Winston, N. C, the bride and attendants being dressed stylishly in handsome traveling costumes.
