TX The Chronicle. R. A. DEAL, Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the Post-ojfice &s second-class matter. in Wilkesboro THURSDAY, JAN. 4, 1894. The Chronicle again visits yeu the first week in the New TTear which is designated as , 1894. Since our lasc issue the holidays have come and gone ' with all their enjoyments' and .attractions, and the old year , 1893 has taken its place in the depository of the past. During " the New Year of 1894 the Chronicle expects to visit you 1 giving you the general news and the county news especially, .as much .as it lies in our power to gather. While the Chron iclb hopes its patrons a happy and proaperous New Year, it would especially appreciate .help from its patrons at the be ' ginning of the year so that it jnay meet promptly its obliga tions without embarrassment. Let every body pay up their old dues and then pay in advance for j;he paper. It would be more pleasant to all concerned. Dick Mason, chief of police of Charlotte, died last week, The New Year got a bright start in the world Monday. It was a beautiful day. - It's New Vear and no snow yet. The goose bone seems to be having a joke on us so far. Sid L. Hauser, of Rural Hall, jq. son of T C. Hauser, of Yad Jcin County, died last week. Mitchell and Corbett, who ap pear to want to fight so badly, have been arrested in Florida in order to test the law. Pendergrast, who killed may or Harrison of Chicago Was tried last week and convicted of murder in the first degree. This scribe has been grap pling with the grip, and he hopes that this issue will not find it's readers "enjoying: the .am.e blessing." M The papers have discovered that some western cranks are making plans to go to Wash ington and steal baby Ruth and her little sister andhold them for big rewards. There seems to be an oppor tunity of verifying the old say ing, a green Christmas and a fat grave yard." But may be weUi get as much cold weather as we can stand to yet. Miss Mattie Bohnson, of Farmington, who has many friends here, and Mr. -O. L. Williams, of Mocks ville, were married at Farmington on the 58th of Vec. 'The Cooper House at States , ville Narrowly escaped being 4estroyed toy fire last week, we - ' learn from the Landmark. The fire caught between the ceiling and the roof, but prompt action saved the building., , Mr. T. J. Hampton, one of the most prominent and useful xjitxzehs of Yadkin county died yV on Decemoertne zim. ; lie was a leading Democrat; "and " for several years was elerk of the court in that county, Slater Mary Ellen, Lease, who canvassed with Oen. Weaver in behaltof the third party, dur ing tha last campaign, has been removed from the Board of Charities of Kansas by' the third party Gov'., Leweilingl There is one Democratic mem ber of the ' Board and . Sister Lease said 'that' he must be bounced or .she would resign. Thd Gov. saved her the trouble by dismissing her ; and she is very mad about it. : Nfext Saturday, the 6th, is Old , Christmas. This date was cel ebrated as Christmas up to a boui the 5th contury, when the 25tn of December was establish ed instead. It is probable, from the information I have, that the change was not madov so much on acc unt of its having been discovered that the 25th of E ecember is more certainly the true birth of our Savior as that is not positively , known, but more for the purpose of sup plarting heathen festivities whi 3h occurred on that day. A Terr Christmas Casualties. Christmas, as a general thing pass ed oft quietly in the State of Wilkes. It, however, had a few casualties caused by whis key and other things, a number of whioh we have collected for the iniorroation of the public. Up in Trap Hill township Ed. Higgins and his father fell out abo it something and Ed. made for lim with a knife and ham mer. His brother Bill was pres ent and ordered Ed. to stop, but Ed. did not mind the order .and Bill pulled down on him with a single tree, making a very ugly and painful wound on his head - a Shooting affair took place at Jpnesville Christmas morn ing which may prove fatal to one of the principals. Lomax Shaffner, two negroes, and have been at outs for some time and yesterday Shaffner sent Lomax word that if he went to a certain place he would Kill hiiri Lomax went and Shaft: was the one who came ner near being killed. Lomax shot at Him four times one ball tak- effect in his back. It may . . i i .j. prove iatai as uie doctors -can i it. ar Austin, Wilkes county, on aunaay, tne znn, wnue ai- tendine: to meeting, two ne groes Jno and Walter Tidline, brothers, got into a fracus when another negroe, named Grajnt Parks, attempted to sep arate them and received a se verfe slash across the leg with a razir. Parks came very near blec ding "to death before a phy sici in could reach him. He blec. at least a gallon. The mee ting was broken up. On Sunday morning, down in Rock Creek township, Mark Woad got on a bender, fell out wit i his wife, and played havoc wit l the household and kitchen furniture. He threw all the dishes out and brake the new clock which he had just recent ly i urchased. He has been. up town since then and replenish ed the broken hardware and table ware. It is reported also, from Rock Greek that Hugh; Higgins and wif b got on a spree Christmas day and agreed todisagree and par ;ed. ' '- .. :, L j Christmas night, up in Lewis Fork, some boys .went to Mr. W. A. Fairchild$' mills and too c the two mills from the mill-house, and cajried them to the woods soma dtance away and j covered them up with leaves.

Foushee and Bob McDaniel had a little round in pugilistic exer cise in which Foushee came out best. We do not know the cause of the racket, Over at Obids a fellow came into Mac Abshers store drunk and beeran raisin er a racket. Mr. Absher, after trying all milder means and failing, tried the virtue of a stick on the side of his head, making a bad wound and completely splitting his ear. We understand that a num ber of boys, sometime last week, went to Mr. D. A. Reece's on the Brushies and acted very badly, shooting pistols and forth. They will probably be indicted. We have heard of one fellow did not learn his name, nor exactly where it happened but it is the truth, though who drank a full gallon of "bug juice" or n other words "moun tain dew" and then broke into a house for more. They say he is still living and doing well. Up in Mulberry township, one night during the holidays, a couple of fellows went to the home of a newly married cou pie to serenade them. They became rather boisterous and banged on the doors till the pa tience of the married man was worn thread-bare. He arose with a pair of knucks on one hand and a thirty-eight pistol in the other, he opened the door and began operations in earn est. One of them fell from a severe blow of the knucks and the other is nursing a very sore arm which was penetrated by one of the thirty eight bails. The ball went in just above the wrist and lodged near the elbow joint. Dr. Horton extracted the ball. 1893 is dead, it sta-ied out full of promises ; and democrats ; it did not kill tariff ; but it did silver ; it bought and paid for Congressmen and Senators ; its money put new light in their ejres. But 1894 is1 here ; we want to work hand in hand with it, if it will 1&ive u good seasons A Men's plows will give us good crops and North Wilkesboro and N. M. Allen will prosper. Dockery Items. Xmas has passed over calmly and quietly so far. Mr, John Byrd, of Grayson co. Va., is visiting friends and relatives at this place.

A Petition asking for stock law in a part of Rock Creek and Walnut Grove townships is being gotten up by S. Q. Myers. Doctor Wiles, of Viands, saidf if Jas Billings, of Dockery, did not let his Etta alone that he would let his age slip and ask if Mr. Billinsrs isn't old enough for her father. : ' Dr. Wiles said that James Felts said that Adam Wiles said that AveTy Wiles wid that Miss Bartly was the' prettiest girl that comes to school.

"Only the Scars Remain," Says Heney Hudson, of the James Smith Woolen Machinery Co., Philadelphia, Pa., who certi fies as follows: Among the many . testimoni als which I see in regard to cer tain medicines performing cures, cleansing the blood, etc., none impress me more than my own case. Twenty years ago, at the age of 18 years, I had swellings come on my legs, which broke and became run ning sores. Our "family phy sician could do me no good, and it was feared that the bones would be affected. At last, my good old Mother Urged lVJe to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took three bottles, the sores healed, and I have not been troubled since. t Only the scars remain, and the memory of the past, to remind me of the good Ayer's Sarsaparilla has done me. I now weigh two hundred and twenty pounds, and am in the best of health. I have been on the road for the past twelve years, have noticed Ayer's Sar saparilla advertised in all parts of the United States, and always take pleas-xu-e in telling what good it did for me."
