One of the saddest deaths' that ever oc curred in Fayetteville, is that of Miss Louie McMillan, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. McMillan, which occurred yesterday evening at 3 o'cloek. She was remarkably bright and beautiful, and tint rrmnVi mnrn than a. school ffirl. homf - - . m v v - mm w w mm . m ' y q only 21 years old. Upon returning home from Peace Institute where she graduated with honors two years ago, she was taken sick, and has been in bad health ever since. It is a . sad loss, and we extend our heart, felt sympathy to the bereaved family. The funeral will take place from the from the Presbyterian Church this even ing at 5:30 o'clock. . Imi ity at Home. Manager Boyd, of the Postal Cable, has instituted an Ice Fund for the Manchester sufferers. A box with a slot in the top bearing the words, "Ice Fund for the Man chester sufferers," will be found at the entrance to the Postal Office, and all those desiring to aid our sorely stricken neigh bors,, should drop their mite in. There are a number of families around Manchester who have been reduced to starvation by an epidemic of typhoid foyer and the stagnation in the cotton mill business. To Support Bryan. The Populist of all the States are rally ing to Bryan, and the leaders are falling in. Senators Jones, Stewart, Peffer, Dti boise and Teller, and all the Populist Con gressmen have already uttered the slogan "Bryan and Free Silver." Now Mr. J. H. Turner, secretary of the National commit tee of the Populist party, issues a mani festo advising all Populists to ratify the nomination of Bryan at the Populist con vention at St. Louis on July 22d. In course of his address he says: "The truth of it is that the only point the Populist now have to decide is whether or not they will take Mr. Bryan, whom every goldbug in the coun try has denounced as a Populist, for the next President of the United States, or whether they will take Mr. McKinley, who represents everything that the Populists have denounoed and just the opposite of everything that they have advocated since they have been a party." The Hill Victorious. The game of base ball between the Hay mounts and Downtowns yesterday even ing resulted in a walk over for the former by a score of 20 to 4.

Struck out by McRae, 7. Property Increase. The County Commissioners finished re vising the tax lists Monday and turned them over to the Register of Deeds to make up the '96 tax books for the sheriff. Mr. McNeill informs us that there is a great increase in the amount of property listed. There is an increase of $50,000 in Rockfish, $6,000 in 71st and $6,000 in Cedar Creek. These are the only Town ships he has reached so far, and if the other Townships increase in proportion it will be enormous. This section of the country is bound to develope even during hard times. It has the advantages, and though a little slow in letting the world know of them, yet they will triumph over all competitors in the end. This is the coming centre of the manu facturing interests of North Carolina and possibly the South. It will be so. It is bound to be so. Fine Sentiments. " Mr. G. W. Lawrence a great Alliance man, a successful farmer, and a leader among the Populists, and a gentleman of integrity and fine ability said to an Ob server reporter this morning: "The Democratic Platform is splendid, it is ex actly what the Populists have been striv ing for all along. Bryan is a grand man, honest, of great ability and the champion of the farmer and laborer. He should have the hearty support of all Populists, and I, for one, will cheerfully work and vote for him. It will be suicidal for the Populists to nominate a man at St. Louis. It will not only elect McKinley God for bid but will be followed by the disrup tion of the Populist party itself. No party can live, and throw principle to the winds. The honest members of the Populist party and that means thousands in Cum berland county alone, will repudiate a party that has silver legislation in its hands and then stabs it a mortal blow. The St. Louis convention in my opinion will endorse Bryan and the platform. Their Wooden Wedding. The swiftly-revolving years of their hap py married life have brought the gifted young pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. A. J. McKelway, and his charming wife on to the 'wooden" goal; and last evening from 7 o'clock until midnight, through the hospitable doors of the manse hundreds of their warm friends through out the community embracing represen tatives of all denominations thronged eagerly to express their good wishes and offer their hearty congratulations. Their esteem and affection had prompt ed the congregation of the church by whom the invitations were sent out and all the arrangements for the occasion made to render this fifth anniversary memorable; and busy hands, directed by faultless taste, had very beautifully decorated the re ceiving and supper-rooms, the artistically embellished tables in the latter refreshing the guests all through the evening with creams, ices, cake, etc. Rare hot-house flowers were there in their beauty and per fume with garlands of the clematis and ivy on the walls, intertwined with ribbons of tthavings, while in the parlor, where Mr. and Mrs. McKelway received, the floral legend met the eye of the visitor; "1891 1896." Numerous, useful and beautiful were the gifts, and especially worthy of mention were the very handsome china press, hall hat-stand and large easy chair.
