Some of our ''furriners" feel
slighted because they were not
mentioned in the "furrin"
write up in the Winston paper.
In fact the outhors of the
great article are "furriners"
themselves and they failed to
sign their names. But tor
ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain, these "furrin"
Radicals take the cake, and
the world moves on as lovely

Dr J. C. Price, colored, presi
dent of Livingston College at
Salisbury, died last week. He
was undoubtedly one of" the
foremost negroes this country
has ever produced. By his
personal efforts he raised about
$30,000 for the endowment of
the college of which he was
President, He understood the
neds of his people and labored
to educate them, and was
conservative in his views and
teachings.
New Jersey belles dont allow
little matters to stand in the
way of their marrying, and
that too, right at tlje time set.
Last week one of them had
the hour set for marrying. Her
fellow by unavoidable reasons
did not arrive as early as she
thought he ought. And so she
called in another of her old
lovers and married him. The
other fellow came up just after
the ceremony was over. We
want to congratulate the fellow
that got left. Jn the language
of Col. Linney, "he escaped a
mighty 'scapement."
Judge Hugh L Bond, Judge
of the United States circuit
court died in Baltimore last
week. His death was due to
heart failure. He had never
fully recovered from an attack
of lagrippe a year ago.
He was appointed Judge by
President Grant in 1S70, and
presided as judge in the
Kuklux trials in the Carolinas,
and decided the famous South
Carolina presidential electoral
board ca?e in 187G.
We may be an old fogy on
the question, but it always
appears to us that it is safer
and surer and more economical
in the long run to invest as
sparingly as possible in com
mercial fertilizers for wheat.
We are aware that it is becom
ang the general idea that every
xhinsr we use. should be store-
bought. Some even argue that
it is cheaper to buy their meet
and bread than to raise it at
home. But this idea is not
the correct one so far as we
ar able to see. And the idea
Df buying commercial fertiliz
ers is easilv run to the extreme.
These fertilizers have to be
said for and there's no getting
iround it, no matter what
3rice wheat is bringing. In
;he good old days, before the
store buying idea became so
jrevelent, people used to
gather up from every nook and
corner, all the manure and
rich substance and scatter it
over their wheat lands and
make good crops. Eerhaps
the yield was not quite so great
5 but every bushel of it belonged
at home, with, no store debt
anging over it. And people
ouldsell their wheat when
ever they pleased and to whom
they pleased.
And then there
was a real substance left
upon
the soil. We do not mean to
holely "condemn the use of
rtiuzers for wheat, it is
efensible in some1 instances.
ut the idea should not be run
to the extreme, which appears
to be the case this season. p

speak to those who are acquain
ted, but for the benefit of those
who are . not posted we will
say that the extension of the
Railroad from Taylorsville is
almost an absolute certainty,
and English Company in con
trol of the right of way from
Southport contemplate building
tiiat roaa ana nope to ue in
shape to begin work at an ear
ly day, and then other railroad
matteis could be mentioned,
which will make Wilkesboro a
Railroad centre in the near
future,

an advertisement at this time

wind blows," and if you
want to be sure you are right
invest your money in the town
of Wilkesboro.

town to get good homes cheap,
and no time in the history of

The Iron Bridge & Curtis'
Ford over the Yadkin River i

the improvement of the roads,

Winstnn daily
f favorable to the propositian to
extend the Taylorsville road to
Wilkesboro. It says we have
one railroad and we should sit
down and keep quiet. Win
ston has four or five railroads,
and whenever any opportunity
is afforded for another one
The Daily will do all it can for
it, and no one would blame it.
If it is alright for Winston
why not alright for other
people to have more than one
railroad? Winston although a
splendid town with splendid
people is not all the place in
the world, and the Daily should
not be so selfish as to dis
courage the idea of any other
pmue maKing ettortsrxogo

TryTorsville Correspondent in Lankoiark.)
The idea of of extending the
Junebug railroad on to the
capital of Wilkes, urged in
Sundays Observer, is to the
point. Thjs is the most direct
route fr m the northwestern
counties to the Southern mark
ets. Is this road were built it
.nvght take a little of the
Mountain trade from Taylors
viile, yet we will not stand in
the way of progress. Let
them build the road if they
want it.
Wants Lewis Fork Remembered.
The Democrat of Lewis Fork town
ship are not professional kickers but
simply want Mr Elias and McEwen to
recognize some of the good Democrats
who are trying for a storekeepers
place. The lending Democrats of this
towdship petitions 1 the Dep't and
asked Deputy Collector McEwen to do
all in his power for the appointment
of a cripple for a storekeepers place,
but they failed in that. We had two
good inen in the field for the place,
the Elk man g"t. Now we are not
how-ling at the Democratic party but
simply ask Mr Elias and McEwen to
remember a township that is nearly
solid Democratic.

Mrs. M. A, Brockwjell, Harris,
Term., says:
"Ayer's Cathartic Pills cured me of sick
headache and my husband of neuralgia. We
tliiuk there is j
No Better Medicine, (
and have induced many to use it."
" Thirty-five years ago this Spring, I was
run down by hard work and a succession of
colds, which made me so feeble that it was
an effort for me to walk. I consulted the
doctors, but kept sinking lower until I had
given up all hope of ever being better.
Happening to be In a store, one day, where
medicines were sold, the proprietor noticed
my weaH and sickly appearance, and after
a few questions as to my health, recom-
mended me to try Ayer's Pills. I had little
faith In these or any other medicine, but
concluded, at last, to take his advice and try
a box. Before I had used them all, I was
very much better, and two boxes cured, me.
I am now 80 years old ; but I believe that '
if It had not been for Ayer's Pills, I should.
have been In my grave long ago." I buy 6
boxes every year, which make 210 boxes wp
to this time, and I would no more be with
out them than without bread.' H. U.
