TOT,. TX WILKESBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JAN. 18 1894. NO. 41 . A. HBOMCLE. K. A. DEAL, Editor .nd Proprietor. Entered (rt? Pout-office in OA second-class matter. Wtlkesboro THURSDAY, JAN. 13, 1894. Dr. M. A. Roy all has been ap pointed Deputy Collector of Yadkin county, in place of J. D Hamlin resigned. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to attend the 7th Annual Fair at Newberne, Feb. 19th to 24th. The New berne Fair is one of the best in the State. 1 q i From what we can learn South Carolina is the worst torn up State in the UriTon. The differences among the people are so bitter that they are at daggers points. They'll have to have a war down there yet. Paul Humphrey and Marion Butler, the third party leader, got into a difficulty at Golds boro concerning a seat at the hotel, which Humphrey claim ed for his wife, and Marion had to carry a thrashing they say. We notice in the Wilmington Messenger that the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley R. R. have consumated arrangements to sell out to a foreign syndicate, the price being one million dol lars. The transfer is to take place the first of February. Melvin E. Carter, the newly nominated Collector, has given it out that he wili notmake any changes in the former appoint men-s of Kope Elias, unless it is shown to be necessary to do S , and also says it will be use lets, at present, to go to the ex pen.-e of visiting him in behalf of changes in the appointments. A recent decision of the Su- prerae Court will be of interest to school teachers, in that it de cides that teachers may punish their pnpils with the rod, prc viced it is not done to gratify passion or malice and the pun ishment is not excessive or in flicts permanent injury . Teach ers may lay in a supply of rods but they should be rather care ful how they use them. Old man Carnegie, the rich Republican protectionist thinks it much better to have a con servative Democratic tariff bill passed like the Wilson bill and let the country settle down to, business, than to have a high Republican tariff. with the ques tion always at issue and the country unsettled, and he's right. Peter DeGraff, convicted of the murder of Ellen Smith, is o be publicly executed at Win ston on the 8th day of Feb. '94. DeGraff has written a letter for the public in which he claims he is innocent of the crime and says thai; some day the real murderer will be discovered. There will no doubt be a tre mendous crowd in Winston that day, for it is. the nature of "man's inhumanity to man" for the people to gather in great crowds to witness the hangiug of a fellow mortal. The Bancroft Company's se ries? ot books, descriptive and illustrative of the World's Fair, are far the best of any we have seen. 1 It is issued in 25 vol umns. Each volumn contains tibout 30 pages, 12 x 1G inches, printed on excellent pa per in the best style, and most ' elegantly ' illustrated. It is in , teresting to read , and look at. and any one who wants mfor mation " concerning the I great The jjair would do well to get these Series.

In commenting on the bride groom in Mulberrv township, yno Knocked out the serena ders so successfullv with his pistol and knucks the States ville Landmark says : "The Landmark prints the a bove in order to congratulate tlie Wilkes bridegroom. We have been waiting for years to slae some fellow have nerve e- nough to serve "serenaders the kind that beat tin pans and nre guns about the ears of newly-married folks just as the ilkes man served them, and we hope the Chronicle will print his name. He deserves to go on record.'' The name of the bride-groom William Holder and the is names of the two serenaders ,re Ganie and Bradley Owens. An Object Lesson to Traders In Stamps. There are parties in this cjountry who trade very freely i(n postage stamps unlawfully. This has been the case for a good while. The Government ils looking after this business, and as an object lesson for (hose engaged in it we give the ollowing from the Elkin Times : "Deputy Marshal Henry Foarde, of Winston, on Satur- ay arrested M. W. Evans as- istant postmaster at Charity, ad kin couutv, for disposing j of postage stamps for the pay nent of debts and making fal se entries of cancellation of postage stamps to increase the compensation of the office. vans gave bond to appear be- ore W. A. Royal, U. S. Coni- issioner, at Yadkinville on he 24th." Just Like a Mule. North Wilkesboro News.) "Some time ago Mr. J. S. For ester had the misfortune of be ing ruptured, but had about re covered. Last Saturday after noon while he was ridiner a mule his muleship conceived the idea that he did not want Mr. Forester on him, so he at once endeavored , to- dislodge him, and in the attempt to do so Mr. Forester was re-rupturea and we are sorry to say that he is now very ill." Ahead Of Wilkes in Corn, but, Not in Apples. A man out in Iowa tells about some remarkable corn which he raised. He planted his corn one day, the next day it was up and growing. His boy was in the field with him and caught hold of one of the little stalks of corn. It .was growing so fast that it soon raised the boy from the ground. The boy began climbing down, but soon discovered that the stalk was growing so fast, that climb down as fast as he may, he could not reach the ground, and the poor fellow is still up in the stalk. That's good corn and steps ahead of Wilkes. But we get a legend from the Brushies concerning '' an apple tree, which if true; still leaves Wilkes ahead. In one of the rich coves of the Brush es, the legend says, in the olden days there lived a man and his two sons. They were great fruit raisers, and as ev erv one knows, the Brushies afford the finest fruit section in the world' They obtaiued a healthy growing tree from a was in his 79th year. He mov good nursery and planted it in a fertile d f rom Yadkin county to this spot, in a lew aaya me ir iuh u 1 larcrp. and beautiful apples. The two boys climbed the tree to get the apples but as fast as they pulled them off oth ers sprang into; their places. All day they labored without taking cognizance of what was going on about them.. Im agine their surprise when night came on to find that the tree had grown so tall that they could not see to the ground, they were so frightened" they did not attempt to climb down, and the old man never saw his boys again. But the legend says that for some fifty years af- l tcrwards apples continually .fell from the tree but from such a height that no one could tell from whence they started. After about 50 years the apples stbppea . ... Tt i.hnnirht the bovs either died of old age and had to cease from their labors, or else the tree grew so tall that the attraction of gravitation was stronger toward the moon than the earth and the apples fell upward.

Smi-tit, of Towanda, Pa. whose constitution was completely broken down, is cured by Aycr's Sarsaparilla. lie writ es : "For eiTit year", I war;, most of tbe. time, a jrvi-at sufferer from const lpa-. lion, kidney trouble, and indiges tion, so that my constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Ayer8 Sarsaarilla, and took nearly seven bottles, Vitli such excellent results that my- stomach,' bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con dition, and, in all tlu-ir functions, as regular as clock-Trork. At the time I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 129 pounds ; I now can bras of 159 pounds, and M as never in so pood health. If you could see me he fore and after nsiucr, you would want ine for a traveling advertisement. I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla to be the best in the market to-day." Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J Cures o Mary's Other Little Lamb. o (Written by a School-boy.) Now Marv had a little lamb That looked like a printer's stool; It took a notion the other day It'd follow her to school. The scholars greetly we amused, And laughed just like a fool, To see a little smutty ram come Come jogging into school. It was an awful stirring time ; The fun was hard to beat, To see him walking leisurely Right up to Allen's seat. That fiery teacher quickly let His angry passions rise, And gave it an unchristion kick Between the sad brown eyes ; This ianded running in the aisle; Lieutenant followed fast, And raised his foot again ; alas ! That first kick was the last, For, Mr. Sheep walked slowiy back About half a rod, 'tis said, And before Lieutenant could retreat Ram stood him on his head ; Then Caesar roae and grasyed a chair And said he'd dresa his meat ; And one square butt just landed him Behind'the hindmost seat ; He arose and out the window jumped And fairly ''hit the grit," And, accprding to all accounts of him, He's not stopped running yet. The schollars quickly -then arose And went for that 'ere; sheep ; Several well directed butt&. " Just piled them In a heajv.. The writer straightway then .arose With strong intent to kili ; And was kicking on that cruel beat Whea the sun went down behind. ' the hill. v : .

A NEW STOCK, ELEPHANTINE IN SIZE, LILLPUTIAN IN PRICE. O More Goods than has eyer been shown by any House in North Carolina at one time. When you see them and hear the prices you will understand why we have bought in such quantities. The time to buy i$ when everybody wants to sell. The bulk of our stock for the spring of .1894 was bought du ring the Panic, at panic prices, and will be sold accordingly. We do not sayt as many do, "that we will not be under sold," but we say to you that while this stock lasts WE WILL UNDERSELL THE BEST OF THEM. It is a most gratifying statement to make and we have asked the printer ta put it in bold type. A bold statement too it may be seen, yet those who are familiar with the fact know that in the performance of our promises we goxa step beyond sather than fall short. Notwithstanding the great panic we have just passed through, our promises; have been fulfilled and our prophecies realized. And considering all the cir. cumstances we look back to it as a year of remarkable progress, made so, in our judgement by the fact that our aim has been not to see how much profit we could make in a single season, but how low we could sell our goods and our persistent and continuous efforts in driving down prices has brought us the in-. ' creased business we have been working for. An ounce of experience is worth a pound of logic and, with the results of our past efforts before us, we see our way clear to take a decided stei forward, and with the opening of our new stock shall deal some sledge hammer blows in thci way of low prices that will speak louder than any any advertisements we can make. ' . Knowing that every dollar we can save our customers Will prove an equiva lent gain to ourselves, and that we have never been sq well prepared to serve you as we are at this time, it affords us nnusual pleasure 0 again solicit your valued trade. : Verv respectfully, , " WALLACE BROS., C.
