Gen. Gordon to Lecture.
Gen. John B. Gordon will
lecture at the New Era Hall at
North Wiikesboro next Satiir
day afternoon at 3 o'ciopk. The
admission is 50c and reserved
75c. Gen. -Gordon is one of
the most prominent lecturers
in the South one of the few
surviving officers who fought
through-the wsr between the
States. ' It was Gordon who
lead the last charge at Appo
mattox, and when Lee decided
at last to surrender when hope
was gone,, it was Gordon's men,
.though ragged and foot sore,
who begged "Ob! General, give
us one more chance. We have
followed the flag through blood
and death for four long weary
years and have never faltered;
give Us one more chanc-j.,, But
it was not to be; it was over
forever. General Gordon is
bound to us by ties of kinship-
also the .'Finley s and Hachetts
are his nar relatives. In fact
he was born in Wilkes, on the
hill hear where he will speak.
We should hear the old hero
our county man.
The Hawks Lecture.
The Hawks lecture at New
Era Hall Friday night was
erreatin everv respect. Ibe
editor regrets his inability to
attend, but those who did at
tend speak in the highest terms
of the lecture. The Subject
was ;Sunshine." He used as
his text that pretty little stanza
which tells so much truth:
"The night hath a thousand yes,
The day but one;
' But the light of the whole world dies
With the setting sun,7 '
The soul hath a thousand eyes,
The heart but one;
But the light of a whole life dies,
When love is dona."
His lecture was a mixture of
sunshine and tears, but in eve
ry tear was a reflected sun, and
the tears were dewa of gladness
to freshan and brighten life
It is a pity that m3re people
did not hear him-''
'Turned It All.oyer to the Beveues."
Some poor fellow is minus a
good mule and wagon and
about 18 gallonsof blockade of

manded that it be searched.
Thefellow jumped from the

to the hotel and got the reve
nue officers 'and went back and
took possesion of the outfit, as
stated. The wagon and coo
tents were brought to the livery
stable where they are safely
locked up. It is said the fellow
li yes i n Te nn . a nd " was mo v i n g
some af bis.hrothers goods from
this.j;ounty to where they.: live"
inTennessee and that the- 18
gallons was. just, for family
