Burcham performing the cere- L r- i "t. j. mony. kjut uest wisiies to thein. Everybody in Wilkes can ha e plenty of grapes if they car 3 to try. Esq. Bob Staley plaited out some vines two yea rs ago, and this season they are bearing an abundant crop. We understand thatt there are several cases of typhoid fever down in the Roaring Riv e r neighborhood. Mr. Joe Brewer is hardly .expected to liv 3 and Miss Ella Sparks is very bad off. We understand that work wi I begin in a short time on a fao ;el at the Springs. We are gl,d of this. It is one of the finest summer resorts in the State and a hotel is badly need ed there, -A large crowd attended th 3 funeral services at Sulphur Springs last Sunday, commem orative of the late Rev. Samu el S. Jennings. Five ministers assisted in the service and paid tribute to the memory, of the dead brother. We notice they have a man down in the eastern part of the State who challenges the er.tire State on shoring. 3 ilkas will accept the shal le age and- names as its champi on Esq. E. Wallace.

"E e says the people got: tired aiting,for good times and are making plenty to eat and will akk McKinley and other gold bugs no odds, ; They , say they cin'.tr vote the school tax,' till ttiey get a little "free silver' in circulation,- The Railroad Tax. A communication concerning the railroad tax is crowded e-ut. It argues that the county has good grounds to refuse to levy or pay this tax, for the reasons that the county has no stock in the road since the as signment, which assignment was made without notice to the county, and further that the last election was held with out authority. We call this to the attention of the Commis sioners, and hope they will at least take steps to test the question. They are in session as we go to press and we hope they will consider the matter. Horse Killed. Mart Reeves, who lives up on Mulberry, brought a load of tan bark to the tannery Satur day. It was late wfeen he re turned home. Near 12 ? clock when just above Mulberry post office, he drove off of a high steep bank,v and one of his horses rwas killed. The other was badly injured, one eye be ing knocked out. The wagon was smashed to pieces, and he himself was bruised up consid erably. The masons will march to the pacnie grounds from the lodge, the day of the picnic. All masons are invited to join the march, and adjoining lodg es will please bring their a prons. M. S. Bradley, Esq., who has been visiting his brother, John Bradley, in the western part of Nebraska, returned to s Wilkes last week. He was out in the prarie section where stock raising is the principal accupation, and most of the in habitants are bachelors. He says they have plenty of money there but that he wouldn't live there so long && he can get to live in Wilkes. ! The fact is that if we are poor and have no money, we have the best place on the globe to live. We notice that a good ma ny -of the writers and. papers are making wrong calculations concerning the special school tax. Their calculations are too high. For instance it is assert ed that a tax of ten cents on the hundred dollars will raise $500 on $50,000 worth of prop erty . The calculation is $450 too high. It makes only $50, tnd with the $50 from the State added makes $100. Divide this among the, districts in the townships, and where is the bier bonanza, which some claim the teachers are working after?, The Baptist Sunday Schools of the Wilkesboro3, Fairplains, Walnut Grove and .Moravian Falls, joined in a picnic at the latter place lastSaturday, and it as one of the most pleasant occasions of the season. There was a large crowd present, and the supply of provisions was abundantly sufficient for "the demand. Judge" McLane, of Penn., made an interesting and eloquent address of about aa hour's length. It is highly spoken of. Some of the -school children recited suitable selec tions. It was pleasant to be there. ' Esq Lonsford, of Lovelace, who was . here Monday, says, that the McKinley prosperity passed through his section one night last week. Its track was discovered by a boyi and it favored the santer's .rtrack, except that it had longeirclaws. The neighbors soon-; con gregatr ed with their -dogs and guns and tried to v capture the r-long promised panacea f o r hard times but its track was all that could be found.. , . Additional Locals.

Jim, Frank and Willis W alker, oh one side, and Troy Dancey, S. Shumate, Nixon Vannoy and Jim Stamper, on the other, up in Mulberry, had a young war one day last week. They bruised each other up considerably, but" did no seri ous damage. Toe attention oi tne au thoritiesboth town and coun tyis called to the fact that there are insufficient hitching facilities here. Most of the racks have been allowed to fall down, or get out of repair. This is a matter very essential. People visiting the town must have some place to hitch. The; town commissioners have passed an ordinance that no merchant shall sell any kind of goods or wares on Sun d ay, except drugs "for medical purposes, or goods - for burial purposes. r The fine is fixed at $2.00 for each offense. -.You'll have to buy your cigars. , and tobacco o n Saturday or do I without.
