Millers cloth tent, which he

on the night previous to the

here, but had gone to Denver
to visit his people. It was a
cowardly mean trick, and the
perpetrators will pay for it in
the penitentiary. if there is any
chance. We do not say that

Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Kinnear
returned to Wilkesboro Thurs
day, after spending several
months among northern rela
tives and friends.
- Alexander, Linney 's home
county, went 31 against him.
Last election, it gave him over
300. Wilkes and Fosyth saved
Linney from the "bottomless
pit" of political defeat.
The vote in Wilkes is the
largest it has ever been, there
being over forty six hundred
votes polled. There are over
5,000 voters registered, and
the most of those who didn't
vote are Democrats.
We all, Democrats, Repub
licans, Populists or whatever,
have to live in the same coun
try, breathe the same kihd of
air, drink the same kind of
water, and read the same Bible
and its no use quarrelling at
eaoh other after the matted is
over. s
The Mascot," of States ville
says, that 'Cal. and John Hor
ton, the two-young boys charg
ed with robbing the mail be
tween Wilkesboro and Jeffer
son plead guilty and were sen
tenced to one year in 'the re
formatory." The name of the
boys is Hardin instead of Hor- j
ton.
Mr. Wilson Davidson, of
' this place, and Miss Lizzie
Stewart, of Statesville, were
married on Wednesday of last
week, at the residence of the
bride's aunt, Mrs. Angus
Whitley, who lives near Dock
ery, this county. Rev. W. R.
Bradshaw performed the' cere
mony. The Chronicle's best
wishes are theirs.
Ex-Auditor "Koon Skin
ner," who came off the ticket
for pure patriotism, still exhib
its symptoms of the same gen
erous impulse occasionally.
The other night' he generously
unloaded his roll of "long
green" at big odds, on election
predictions, and "now he's
sorry that he fooldd with the
Zulus."
Sheriff Call made a "few
broken remarks" at the court
house Thursday. He thanked
every body for his big vote and
told them that he would make
a good Sheriff. He electrified
everybody by making the an
nouncement that there would
not be a Democrat alive in 1898.
This was cheered to the echo.
If his prediction comes true,
there'l have to be a mighty dy
ing out in this country.
People stood in the rain
here Wednesday and screamed
for McKinley and the gold stan
dard, who never had a gold
dollar in their lives, and whos
little bit of land, if they have
any will probably have to be
solcfcfor taxes in the next four
years, under the gold standard.
As soon as their Hanna boodle
and Wilkes "liquid enthusi
asm" get low, the hollowing
will change into sobs o regret. .
