DeWitt Talmage who has been pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle for 25 years, has resigned. Melvin E. Carter, the newly appointe4 Collector for this Dis trict, takes charge the first of this month. The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Allen Thomas, of Florida, as U. S. Consul at La Guayra. It is now argued that the rea son Corbett won so easily at Jacksonville was because of a rabbit foot he had trotten at Charlotte. The Democratic caucus has incorporated the income tax as a part of the tariff bill. The vote in the House on the bill is to be taken the first of Feb. "It is refreshing to consider that the Corbett-Mitcheil fight is over, and that perhaps now the dailydispatches will talk of something else;, The fight against the income tax seems to come from New York principally, so far as the Democrats are concerned. Of course all the Republicans are opposed to it. So long as the people are un der the hallucination that they "must depend on the govern ment and legislation for a liv ing instead of working out their living themselves, there will be hard times. Congressman Bower has in troduced a bill to appropriate $75,000 for the erection of a public building in Winston. It is supp sed that the" Sentinel will hardly censure Mr. Bower for this, as it has been inclined ' to do for everything else he has attempted to do. We have a new version ,of ' what has caused the hard times. An old gentleman from up a bout the Blue Ridge was in town the other day and explain- ed the whole matter. He says that the entire trouble has been from the fact that Cleveland has been drinking a good deal. If that be the truth, then no wonder there are hard times in "Wilkes, where so many have been on a tare so long. After all the big talk and blowing about it, the pugilistic contest at Jacksonville, was a. very-slim affair, so for as fight ing is concerned. Jim Corbett knocked. Mitchel one - on the' - third round, and didn't half try then. In obeisance to that patriotic (?) American senti ment which appears to delight in, such exhibitions of brutal ity, ; we ae glad that Corbett came out best. But the fac is, wp 1 could get "up a . better fight thanthat ; was, up here in Wilkes almost any day," and TOtt'knake.:;r-halir: such' a blow about it-: , ' . States ville seems to bev going juto the trust and boycotting business. The livery hay e form eel a trust 'against the ' drum-rmers!-arid"i;th;eJ are' - boycotting the liverymeh. And then the merchants boycott the drummers- That's very sorry, siness Aclear tbrouglr The fact is that the drummers, as a class are the best paying fel- lows that are traveling, and for the liverymen tb form a trust against them for higher prices is down right unjust and I i the merchants who take up 'such foolishness are attempt to assist in a wrong ing mattjer, according to our way of thinking. Let, every body at tend his own business without forming trusts. jupge Wnitaker, wtio pre sided at Alexander court last week, seems to have a way of his own to make himself un popular wherever he goes. He seems to create an unfavorable impression wherever he holds court. Whether it is his fault or nat, we do not personally kno v He had his usual luck at Tkylorsville, in making the peoble. think untavorably at .him ; for as he left Saturday af ternoon he received an anony mous letter, calling him several nan es, not exactly in accord ance with Sunday School les sons, and telling him he would do , great kindness by staying fror i Alexander forever hereaf ter. He failed to reach Tay lorsville on Monday, and sever al people wanted him to be in dieted for it, It is reported on good authority that bills a gainst him were returned by the grand jury and that he or dered the sheriff to destroy tVioi wl-iirOi wflBilniift.

But we win wait ana see ior o r selves how he does at our next term of court, which begins the 5th of March. A Change Must Come; Help it on. As a general thing the people of Wilkes are not nearly so prosp'eroijs as they should be anc that the circumstances en title them to be. Why this is the case would certainl3r be an interesting subject to discuss and one that ought to interest and benefit our people. To this end we wou.d be glad to give spf ce in the Chronicle for short articles as to how our people may improve their con dition, and hope the people will contribute to the discussion. W ite short articles and to the point. It goes without saying that there is not a county in the State that furnished the extent and variety of resources and op portunities, then why are our people not the most prospe rous in the land ? Within the borders of the comty are some of the best and most fertile of farming lauds, and that bing the case, why do we have to import Western corn?. Tne idea our people once seamed to have, that Wilkes is net a good county, for the rais in ? of wheat Has been success ully and conclusively explod eel. For instance, no county ca n boast of a,'.more successful w jeat crop than that raised by Mr, John L. Hays? Then why dees Richmond and other mar kets have to furnish our flour? There is no climate or soil better adapted to the growth of : tobacco, and ?yet our few man- utacturers nave to : aepenu on tile; Winston market .' for . sup- If there be a better place for the cultivatioh and productiou o : fruits it has perhaps ; never b sen discovered..; While sever-; a t are doing a good ,: business in" t ie fruit line, improving their f uits, and properly cultivating xeir orchard, and thus placing excellent apples on the market, the marjority are content to plod the old tracts, and raise scrubby fruit for which there is scarcely a market. No garden vegetable but thrives here, and sucn tnings as Irish potatoes will almost make a iuh crop wiinoui oemg worked. It is a good stock country, and still the western markets are called upon to furnish a large part of our bacon We mention so much to get our people to thinking. Now, to better our condition, what improvements in our present systems of agriculture and otherwise are advisame r There is bound tO be a Change for the better, and let us get , . ii a ii' r.A unir it- on. Mid-Winter Concert. Correspondence to The Chronicle.) Sat.rm. N. C. Jan. 23. The j Saem Female College, the old- ; p. : FefTiaiA 0.nile in the South'. gave its annual mid winter con cert on Wednesday and Thurs day nightti of last week. This being the most important win ter musical event in North Car olina, it drew crowded houses each night. The program, was varied and interesting, 'consist of recitations, vocal and instru mental music. Every selection J was admirably rendered and re ceived the plaudit of "well done." There were three hun dred voices in the grand chorus. The young ladies taking part represented many Southern :. states Prominent among them were Miss Henderson and Miss Cowles, daughter of Ex Con gressman Covvles, of Wilkcs boro. "The Goose Honks High." Cot'Cird Standard. A mi.stnke that is very generally made, is the popular phrase, 'Every thing is lovely and the goose hangs h-hih". Now, this is entirely wrong. It should be read, 'Every thing is lovely and the goose honks high.' This saying originated away up in the Northern States, where in rainy, foggy or stormy weather it i3 a well known fact that the geese fly low skimming along over the very housetops. In fine and pleasant weather you will remembr that they fly in long slriwgs so high in the heavens their peculiar cry, 'honk honk' - can scarcely be heard on the earth below, hence the old saying that everything is lovely when the goose 'honks high.' and not 'hangs high,' which is a most non sensical perversion of the original old New England saying.

When you see them and hear the prices you will understand why we have bought in such quantities. . The time to buy is 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 say4 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 to put it in bold type. x t A bold statement too it may be seen, yet those who are familiar with the facts know that in the performance of our promises we go a 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 wo could make in a single season, but how low we could sell our goodsand our persistent and continuous efforts in driving down prices has brought us the in creased business we have been working for. . - j An ounce of experience is worth a pound of logic and, with the results of our I past efforts before us, we see our way clear to take a decided ste; forward, and with the opening of our new stock shall deal some sledge hammer blows in the i way of low prices that will speak louder than any any advertisements we can make.
