Baity, Esq., of Davie, father of Baity Bro's., of Win- stpn, died of the grip last week. m One day last week 345,290 lbs of manufactured tobacco were shipped from JHnston. That's a big thing. ' . i - The base ball season seems to t : .-a l j-i vw m. v listen for skinned shins broken fingers. and ! The news from Washington seems to indicate that the Wil son tariff bill will pass the Sen ate at an early date, without .any material changes. That, is the kind of news the people .want to hear. Hall Bro's., of Hickory, have . made an assignment. The lia bilities amount to 40,000 while it is thought their assets will pay 100 cents on the dollar. , , They are indebted to parties here, Mrs. Stokes holding a note of $1500 against them. Hall Bro's. are natives of Wilkes county and used to do business at this place. ' The report of the committee , appointed to lay off a road from the Wilkesboro and Jefferson road to Mt Zion was disapprov ed and another committee was appointed to make a new sur- vey.y The following free-hold- ers constituted the committee : W; W B Reeves, J H McNeil, J M JSller, M C Carlton and Com. R Triplett. f Died. jOn last Sunday night Charlie fWinfield, son of Mr. John L. Webster, after a sickness of several months passed away. His death was caused by heart trouble, from which he suffered very greatly. The funeral ser vices took place at' the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. P. LI Terrell, after which the body was placed to rest in the Epis copal cemetary. The sympa thies of our ie pie including the Chronicle cto out to thejf i ) The Landmark off It's Base The Landmark gives the Chronicle a very severe lec ture because it mentioned ad versely the formation of a trust and boycott against the . drum mers by the merchants and liv -erymen of Statesville. ' The Chroicle got its . information from the Charlotte Observer, a reliable paper. So for as pub lishing the Landmark's denial of the existanee of such a trust, we may be alio wad to say that fche Landmark failed to reah the Chrj nicle office for two weeks;before the 8th. of Feb . and if either of those copies con tained such denial we were not so fortunate as to see it. But here is the lecture : "But we started out to have a ord with the Wilkesboro , Chronicle. A gentleman who spent some time in Wilkesboro last summer, tells? The, Lanp " mark that if a drummer goes to J North Wi kesboro and puts up ; at tne notei inere, ana inen orips over to Wilkesboro 1 and tries to sell goods he ; will find himself ,' boycotted ; t h a t the .Wilkesboro merchants will not give any drummer ah order un- Jess he first goes to their "town and puts up at their; hotel. ! ...This being the case it lies not jn the mouth of the esteamed Chronicle to preach sermons a- bout trusts and 'boycotts in Statesville, even ifthey existed ; here, which they do not." iai ?r 11 of which is very excel - lent repartee but is a f'cow lardly make -shift' when regard- ed in the light of its truthful- ness. The "erentleman who ! spent some time in Wilkesboro last summer" has, for some ; reason not apparent, misinform- ; edjthe esteemed Landmark. Our merchants have never eneraared in such bnsinpss. WhfinftVftr thfey want goods, and a drum - mfer has what they want, they ! Mv f rom him whether he stop !pea at JNorth Wilkesboro or . H i ar y where else. If they don't wint goods, or a drummer dc esn't have what they want, they don't buy, whether he st jps "first at their town and puts up at their hotel" or not. We can see no object in such re ports, save to foment strife between two sister towns and hardly "lies in the mouth of! the esteemed" Landmark, which professes to preach peace on earth and good will td men" to assist in the strife fomenting business. DeGraff Pays the Penalty of His Crime. Peter DeGraff, the murderer Ehen Smith, was hanged at o winston on the 8th inst. There was a large crowd present toi witness the scene, the Sentinel's estimate being 6000 people. On the scaffold DeGraff made an aldress to the people n which h 3 admitted that he killed his s veet-heart Ellen Smith had s lot her through the breast. I e said that "the thing you CiiU corn liquor, cards, dice and o ,her games of chance, pistols and bad women,. are the things that brought me to this place- to stand on this scaffold." He arned the people to beware of s ich things. He expressed him S3lf as being confident of going t: heaven, and begged the peo pie to meet h m there. When he shook hands with his broth thft sheriff, the ministers ers, and attendants for the last time cm earth the scene was solen Arid eff&ettve. It"ra sad end for. leads That Allowed t To the Editor -f the Observer : It was with regret tha read in your issue of Tuesday anuary 30th, the latter part of , communication from High ?'oint, N. C, signed "Demo rat," which, as I think, con tained a very uncalled-for at tack on Senator Vance. The first experience I ever had in politics-was in 1876. My fath 6r kept me from school one af ernoon and took me to the oourt house,' saying that I svould hear two of the greatest nen speak that North Carolina sver had produced or ever svould. They were Senator Vance and Judge Settle. He mowed me Van ce, and said; 'There is the best friend North Carolina ever had." Since then Pve heard related how he pro tected North Carolina during the sad war that devastated her people ; how he ran the block jade with ships loaded with pro- visions for the women who had husbands, fathers, brothers arid x lL Cr-r4- -fi V -i n r f rr sous a uC 'tT ri their country and, their as mey cuuuciya learned of tne time wnen, eieci ed to the Uhited States Senate, rather than swear.to an obliga tion to which his heart and con science did not subscribe, he re fused the proffered honor, came " " V- ' 'ai l 7a back to. : his native : S tate and resigned, - , , ' Since I've beenoldenough to uri XX the Old War Hore. if Be Allowed to Die in Harness. .IJ be an observer of such things, 'I've watched his course with ! an admiration akin to hero wor- 'ship. How he stood as the cham jpion of the South, when bitter feolings ran high an4 the bloody shirt was flaunted every day; how he not only represented his own State, but Virginia, too, rwhen Mahone deserted, and j that State went, wrong ; how, I when the ereat Kentuckian i Renk who was never at a Joss 1 for a word,) when leading that : memorable tariff fight, sank to i RAJit. st.riclrpn with naralv sis, exclaiming as he did, "Mr. President, for the first time in my life I am unable to proceed," on that night sent for Vance as the only man to whom 4ie was willing to assign his position as leader in the fight ; how Vance, with one of his eyes going out gradually, and paining him in tensely, burned his mid night oil studying these questions, and met in daily debate the brilliant advocates of protec tion and presented an impeae trable armor of Democratic principles to their every thrust standing like the "Knight of Snowdown, James Fitz James" exclaiming by his words and actions : ' "Coma one, come all, this rock shall fly From its firm base as soon as I." It makes every drop of my Southern, North Carolina blood boil to hear newspaper corres pondents or individuals attempt to calumniate Zeb Vance, who has ever been the firm, able, earnest, conservative defender of his people. Some years since, coming from Washing ton, I was ir the same seat with Senator Vance. He told me that he had deserted his chosen profession, had 6pent his time, his talents and his energy in j serving his State ; that his StaU I na(j always honored him hih j anfi an he then asked was to oe allowed to die in harness, por the sake of justice, and in name of gratitude, let his wish be gratified without censure ana witnoui unjusi cruiuism R. N. Hackj Wilkesboro, N. C. 3rd. 189 Retained to Its Earthly Abode rom reports we learn thai e mysterious light out at un cle John Hall's has returned to its earthly abode. It has been seen by several colored breth ren right recently. It will be remembered that some time ao, owing to the unfriendly treatment it re i d f mi e sons of man, it resolved its ell into the form of a nude chiUi and ascended straight to the moon, and the-people feared it had gone forever. Bui their fears were unfounded, as it ha.-, -returned in its original form. Why it should leave its silvery habitation in the moon, wh re it coulfl bathe nightly in fairy moon beams and play marbles with the stars and return to its dull abode on earth is a mys tery tli at we are unable to, solve, unless, pehaps, the two old maids of the moon, were strict and exacting toward e urchin, (as all old maids are) and it decided-that it had rath er enjoy the freedom of earth With man's perversity for a season, than " to be' under the ' supervision of the moon maids by mil. ifnn of star marhl and nan of shimmering fairy beams s t moon It is probably not the coldest weather you ever knew in your life ; but that is how you feel just now, because past suf- brings are soon forgotten, and because , yi)ur blood needs the enriching .in yigoi j "rating influence of Ayer's Sarsapariila J the Superior Medicine. -v BUT. 13.

T., says : "Over thirty years ago, I remember hearing my father describe the wonder ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. During a recent attack of La Grippe, which assumed the form of a catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom panied by an aggravating cough, I used various remedies and prescriptions. While some of these medicines partially alleviated the coughing during the day, none of them afforded me any relief from that spasmodic action of the lungs which would seize me the moment I attempted to He down at night. After ten or twelve such nights, ! was Nearly In Despair, md had about decided to sit up all night In my easy chair, and procure what 'sleep I could in that way. It then oc curred to me that -1 had a bottle of Ayer's Cherry . Pectoral. I took a spoonful of this preparation in a little water, and was able to lie down without coughing. In a few moments I fell asleep, and awoke in the morning greatly refreshed and feeling much better. I took a teaspoonf ul of the Pec toral every night for a week, then grad ually decreased the dose, and in two weeks my cough was cured. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J. C.

We do not say4 as many do, "that we will not be un 1 sold," but we say to you that while this stock lasts . WE WILL UNDERSELL THE BEST OF THEM.

Notwithstanding the great panic we have just passed through, our prom '.; have been fulfilled and our prophecies realized.
