THURSDAY, NOV. 9, 1893
Mr Ceo D Hobbs a butcher of
Winston, has been missing
since Wednesday of last week.
There seems to be an opinion
that he was murdered and
thrown into Belo's pond.
The repeal bill has become a
law, President Cleveland hav
ing signed it. The House pass
ed the bill in a few hours after
receiving it from the Senate.
The Senate might learh a lesson
from the House.
The revenues last week cap
tured some blockade near
Winston and locked it up in a
small house in Winston. That
night the blockaders came
-with their wagons, broke in
the house and carried the
juice away.
The Senate adjourned with
out confirming either Eli as or
Simmons, as Collect or. Cleve
land has re appointed them and
the question of their confirma
tion will come up ogain next
session. Elias will continue as
collector and simmons will take
chorge at an early date.
The hosts of Mr J. P. Cald
wells friends here are very
much grieved at the death of
his wife which occurred Nov.
2nd at Statesville. She had
been quite low for several days
but we were not prepared to
hear of her death. "His many
friends here as well as the
Chronicle extend their sympa
thy to Mr Caldwell in his sad
bereavement.

From the Du: hom Sua.)
One of the fads among socie
ty women in the South is the
wearing of a live chameleon,
with a srold chain around ivs
neck and a long pin at the
other end of the chain so as to
fasten the horrid little thing on
your dress. It is worn as a
badge and the chameleon crawls
around as far as the chain will
permit at its own s,weet will.
Miss Bettie Blair is the
possessor of one o these 'cu
rious little creatures, which
was sent her by Mister Clai
born Carr from the "Worlds
-Fair. The chameleon, which
'lives on flies and insects, could
not be induced to eat when it
readied here, so it was sent
down to Tearby's drug store to
see if he could porsuade it : to
partake of food. It seems to be
trying the Tanner act; at least
it acts that way. ,

Authors New Home Magazine is a
publication that always finds a wel

tially a home monthly and noj house

at the November issue will convince
anyone of this. Its opening story "'a

narrative of Italian life since Adolphus
Trollope's Tuscan novels, and is beauti
filly illustrated. Melville Philips

vith each installment. Among other
capital stories are "Cousin William"
and "The Veiled Isis," "Flora Culture"

Womans World is a complete and
profuse description with illustrations

writers, and we are not suprised to
laarnthat its circulation is rapidly
growing; it cannot be otherwish at the
