The Chronicle has been f rd quently asked, what about the 'It . - TIT? 11 J.' smaii pox in vviiKes, aurin the last week. We heard tha there was .sma.l pox in th county before last 'issue, bu there was no reliable evidenc .of the fact and the -r Chronicle did not mention it. The facts are that they have the : small pox in Virginia, Georgia,1 Alal- bama and Florida and perhaps elsewhere, and it was report that the disease had reabhe this State. That part seems t be a mistake. The party wh was reported in Wilkes to hav the small pox is aown with th grip like several others. I With the travel on ine roaa, it is nop perfectly reliable -tosayL'thap -the small pox will '. riot reach this county,but still we Hard" think it probable But there i nothing like-being ready if sue an emergency should arise.

On the evening of the 11th inst., at the residence of Thorn t6n Staley, near Reddies River, Mr. B F. Staley and Miss Mary Roberts were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony by Esq. L. E. Whittington. ' All parties having-a good time and seeing their fun staid until late in the night. The best fun was that John Milam, getting a little too much "mountain dew ' on as he was going home from the wedding, and passing by L. E. Whittington's, - c a lied his hounds and concluded he would have a fox chase. Getting near home - the hounds commenced barking and iMilam, hissing and hallooing, thought he was go ing to have a race sure enough. He ran home got a light and hoopepl and hallooed till the whole settlement was awaken ed. He said he thought it was a fox but the race! ; being so short, - he concluded it was something else, so he went home and went to bed. When he , got up next morning .he found his yearlings missing and put out to hunt it and to his as tonishment found ity where the hounds had run it in a sink hole: He say s it was "the worst scared yearling he ever saw, bu t ' was not Hurt. ; V j j : - " ' .

Editor : In your last weeks issue I you invite a discussion of the conditions . , which, retard an increase of prosperity in VV HKes. rkal, in nis article, sain wai. saiu through - -I A. T l "a New Jersey Judge passing through the COUntya few years ago obserTed that he saw nothing lacking to the com- fort of our people except that apple dumplings did not grow on trees In- deed all intelligent visitors to our coun- ty unite in praise of her resources. Why I then are we not more prosperous ? Be cause the farmer can't find a cash mar ket for his produce ; and again the-poor man must put in one third of his time ! on new roads, etc. ; then again when he raises tobacco puts it on market he can't i get but from 2 to 5cts. .per ponnd for which he cannot afford to raise it. I thing the farmers will be compelled to stop raising tobacco in this county. And yet when the leaf is cheap the manu facturers sell at the same price as when it is high. Get good men in the county that will pay cash for what the people have to sell, thsn the business mjm and farmer will all prosper, and until the county will not prosper as it should. The county pays too much money to officers and makes the poor man work too much on public roads for nothing. These and many other reasons are 'why the county does not prosper as it should. J. H. Ellis. On account of oppression and bad leg islation the life and ambition is about knocked oul of the people,' so that many have to do without the actual necessities of life ; hence it is hard on those selling goods, yet we still solicit your trade and j are going to make it possible for you to buy, by giving you goods at the lowest living price. Come to North Wilkesboro and be convinced that N. M. Allen will sell you goods just right. REWARD.

The husking bee was over, as the sun was going down In a yellow ray of glory just behind the maples brown ; The girls were getting ready, and the boys were standing by To catch on where they wanted to, or know the reason why. The prettiest girl of all the lot, and they were pretty too, Was Zura Hess, whose laughing eyes could look yeu through and through. Now it happened that little Zura found a red ear in the pile Before we finished husking and you should have seen her smile, Because she had the privilege, if she would only dare, To choose the fellow she liked best and kiss him then and there. Oh my, how we puckered up our lips and tried to look our best'; Each fellow wished to be the one 'picked out from all the rest. Until Zura, afterhanging back a little spell or sOi Got up and walked right over to the last one-in the row ; She just reached down and touched her - lips on to that old white head Pete Syms, who is eighty years if a day 'tis said.
