S. A. DEAL, Editor and proprietor. Entered at the Poxl-ojfice ai setoni-dazs matte?. . in ; Wilkesbnro THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1894. The Democratic State con ven tions which are being held' in different States are declaring for the coinage of both silver and gold'. Grover ought to see' the error of his way. ' Perhaps the, reason. Hill Jias developed such an antipathy to the income tax, is because he has discovered what 'a. tax heUl have to pay if he ever "in comes" to office as President. Joe Jackson, the desperado who cut up the High Point po licemah, and who was. about to whip out the town a week or. so, Lgo, was captured in1 Watauga county last week, and carried to High Point. .. ;. Your uncle Adlai Stevenson, . who made such a good speech at the Guilford Battle grounds, J S.uear Greensboro, on the , 4th. has no special obstacle- against him for. President . in 1896 a inong, our people. Trinity's new President, Dr. Collins Dennj-, is notf. a . North Carolinian, but seems to be- a ver3r nice raan, a gentleman and scholar any way. He .:has been a Prafessor in Vanclei tilt University. 1 - . The Tariff bill has passed the Senate and is in the hands of the. conference committee of both houses. The bill is not what one would love to see; tint its'better than the present law; and' should become the law 4xt once. . - . The Union Republican states very prominently that the tar iff, on sugar imposed by the tar iff which will shortly- become the law, will put a burden sup- on. the people by increasing the price of sugar.- Ah there, .what kind of change has come over the spirit of . their dreams? Have -not the Republicans preached all their lives that; tar iff, duties1 did : not increase pri ces and r were not burd ens upon- the l people? The ' Union's arguments on the tariff for : a quarter of a century , are blast ed, by its own argument in tne last issue. One of the greatest financial reforms needed is. that ; every body pay thoir debts, and stop making debts when they have no visible - means t paying them. The idea of mortgaging iroDerty to get a little ' money to have a "big time," is one of our greatest curses. Another main one is sending the money out of- the country for some tool patent kind of a thing, which you can buy . for, 50 per cent less of your home mer -chant. iv We certainly need , fi nancial reform in sctyeral ways.' .We i qlspfriepd; some "common sense Reform." . ;-''-'V:;""f--" . -Our townsman, ; Mr. J.4 C.' ; Hub bard h as secured ? a posi tion? with-IL".Mf Suttoh r &' Co., uriporiers. aridjpfehors.4 of .'dry, Goo jjjs and;:Np tions of 'Balti more v one- b the best'ahdVmost fre- ' liable firms the country.Mr, Hubbard- has ' iyistr returned f rom Baltimore vitha splendid line of samples ancli j?wili visit the 'merchants -ot this Z countryv Everybody ' knows: Mr..

My well went dryoine time agoj and it was on- y by digging a great deal that I have any water at all. - isesides 1 now nave plenty to eat since potntoes, beans and blackberries have come in. I. expect your correspondent is out of Something. o eat himself, or has to do like I did luring the war, eat nothing for break- ast, . warm - it over for . dinner, and done without for supper. I know he is mad for-he ran for cMayor in Mat's town and was beaten bv Billy Mathis.- pilly is a good kind of a fellow, . he makes a living by ' digging roots and picking blackberries, but -hev never hunts for mud turtles or water tarri- pins. . 1 win close. success to tne HRONicLE and its many readers. , LLER. 4th at Maple Springs.

The exercises were opened at 11 o'clock with a praver by Rev. P. L. - Terrell. Addresses then followed. Col. W. H. H.' Cowles was the speaker of. the day,' and en tertained the -audience some thing over an hour. He gave a very excellent resume of the life; character and deeds of the late Senator Vance, paying an eloquent tribute to his high and magnificent manhood. Then followed a short but well-deserved tributes to the dead Statesman, by Col. Dula, chard - Hackett, ' Marshall Matt, Mr. Buxton, and J. H. Fooe. Mr. T, iB. Firriey . was master of ceremonies, and did his part well. After the speaking: closed a free dinner was spread for the enjoyment of the crowd. It was a most excellent dinner, and appeared from a glance at the quantity to have been suffi cient - for - twice ; the number present, but 'a few moments sufficed to prove the error of the supposition.- In fact, the dinner did not seem to be blessed of Providence at; all, as there was no fragments left to be ta ken up. We have it in good authority, that Bro. Robertson, who had been 'fasting .'three days, and whose bashf ulness and gallantry would not allow him to crowd in ahead of the ladies, found absolutely noth ing for the comfort of th inner man, when he did reach the ta ble.
