EAST 0ASTON 005Sir. tain Belaya Fans Wark—IrMga Falla Through WHh Cat Aber nalkf'a Tw Km Nates •ad Paraaaala. i '.IIMUMM o< u» Ounu. East Gaston, March 28.—Rev. H. L. Atkins, Presiding Elder of this district, held qnarterly conference in Bast Gaston last Saturday and Sundny and preached two very able sermons at the little church known as River Bend. Mr. J.C. Ficht, one of the beat know citisens in this country, is around shaking hands with his many friends, after having been in Texas for some time. Mr. Reanie Linebenrer, a very highly respected citizen, former ly of this section, but now of Lincolnton, was in Bast Gaston a few day* ago, visiting some of his good friends. It is reported here that Mrs. Barbara Ptnger, of Catawba, is or has been very sick. Sbc is a daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Shoog CanslcT, and no one has ever left East Gaston, that was admired more by the people than she was. We are informed that the "Gnyly Belle” of Mountain Island la not married yet. But we arc promised that the time win not"'be as long as it has been. Mr. A. W. Hoffman, surveyor, of Lowell la to do some work In Bast Gaston soon. ► Col. Tom Sbaford. the, most jovial fellow that ever lived in Lowell, says he is going to run for sheriff. Guess he is going to take Col. Aberncthy’s advice. We note that some of the boys are getting in s good humor with Bast Gaston. That’s right boys we never meant any barm to you. But we want you all to behave nicely so Bast Gaston can brag on yon. Your parents are all ngbt and we wyot yon to be. In tact, you arc, but you do some little ugly things some times which you ought not to do. In coming down the road a few day* ago we met Mr. Shoo* Can tier going up the road walk ing at a two minute gait. We wager an old hen and chicken that ha is the best walker, ia Bast Gaston. We attribute this fact largely to bis practice. We regret it. that we can't accomodate old man Pink Roper of Belmont and give him our name. Bat it’s funny how peo Ele will guess who it is. We ave been visiting many times and heard Bast Gaston dis cussed and guesses made u to who it was. Many have said it was Mr. This or Mr. That, hut no one bit the mark, and right then they were in company with Bast Gaston. We read with mnch interest the article of Clod Smasher of Bast Gaston in Last Friday’s issae of Tbs Gaxkttk. Clod Smasher ia only one of the many of the kind of farmers that axe in Bast Gaston, : We never saw better people, and we like them. We have heard mer chants say that to take them on an average, they were the best people to pay their debts that they ever saw, aod men that will pay their debts are gener ally pretty good fellows, or at least yoa can judge « neighbor hood pretty well by tbet. Our farmers are set bees one more week on account of the rains. We have always heard the best of them say not to pioegb too wet, as it injures both lend and crops, and history teaches ns that tlure is always plenty of time a bead U we will only vac it to tbe best advan tage when H does come. We ere informed that Colonel Abereetby was iortnoate in not losing sods of bis fine males s few days ago. On bis farm-is a stream that bass bridge across It abort twenty feet In length and about ten feet high. In the conns of a year there is a great deal of crossing over it. A few day* ago fonr of his largest anurt were driven over it wagon, going after a load of wood. On going over than was no sign of any defect in tbe bridge, but on tbe retnrn Inst as tbe lead mole’s fore feet bad got to the last plank the bridge went down, jesting the lead males nown on tbe other*, while tb« wegoa loaded with wood came dowu on top of all. The wagon was chained np so ss to keep it from sinking more on the males, while tbe Colonel with a lot of bands began to Fbf several boors thsy worked hard in mod and water by taking oat owe mats at a time. Tbe satooisblag pan of it Is they got Stacy mole owt at tbe water and mad and from among tbe broken sleepers, plank and Inga, sad i not even a mute’s leg was brok en. Wc make note of this that others may take wafaUm- and look after their f I SO AH PCNCIUHOS. commuMun ot tx. fit mart*. The writer has received the following maps from the United States Department of Agricul ture: Mitchell Co., N. C., 28x18 inches; Catawba Co., N. C., 28x18 inches; Abbeville Co , S. C., 28x18 inches; Doe West. S. C., 28x18 inches; Darlington Co.^S. C., 24x41 inches; Howell Co., Mo., 38x24 inches, all drawn on the scale of I mile to the inch. Some of onr young people had a pleasant social at the home of Mr. W. P. Morrow the other night, given in honor of Miasea Mamie and Stella Jenkins, of Mt. Olivet, by Miss M. L. Mor row. "We’ll toon be at home with the daises,” sings Stanton of the Atlanta Constitution. Why didn't he say, "With the peach blooms and the watermelon smil ing on the vinea?”. Mrs. L. T. and Mra. E. A. Morrow visited at J. A. Morrow’s lftst week. Mra. G. M. Howell is on the tick list. The guano season has began, and the fanners are going to make another big cotton crop. The cooing of doves indicates that it ia spring time in Gaston. Wheat is beginning to show for the past week, and there teems to be a fair stand on the land. Miss Emma McGill is getting on nicely with her school at Spencet's. It will dose about April 8tb, and a nice time ia ex pected, when the "treat” comes around. From a recent "Rural World.” we take the following extract: "We have added to onr stall of correspondents Mr. R. D. Mar tin of Gaston County, N. C. Mr. Martin ia the Gaston county offi cial crop reporter of the Bureau of Statistics. United States De partment of Agriculture, and recently conducted the agricul tural department of the Gaato nia Gaxxttx. Mr. Martin’s ar ticle from North Carolina on "Fanning as a Profession,” de serves special mention in these columns.” Mrs. John A. Morrow and Mrs. B. A. Morrow visited J. W. Blackwood, Tnesday. Miss Lenoir Morrow is spend ing some time with her aunt, Mrs. J. A. Jenkins, near Mount Olivet. About the new public road from Pisgab to Loray by L. T. Morrow’s and J. W. Hawkins o' petitioned for by R. L. Wilson, we will tell you later. To too Bailor of mo OwMlai Was it in Th* Gazktth that I read the assertion that "A lead pencil is the most valuable tool on the farm?" A lead pencil is not a tool, but some of this paper’s leading arti cles were written with one. A lead pencil is a handy thing isn't it? What U farming? I do not personally believe that raising 10 bnsheu of corn to the acre ia farming; or raising 16bushels of wheat per acre; or growing a third of a bale of cotton per acre. This is making a "feint” at farra fng, if you please, bat it is not farming. No. Aa much as 160 bushels of wheat haa been pro duced on one acre in Holland. 255 bushels of corn per acre has been produced in South Caro lit. a. Mr. J. C. Simms, of Geor gia, produced 5 bales of cottoo per acre, or 25 bale* on 5 acres of land > That’s fanning,—fann ing ou scientific lines. R. D. Mutin. Thomas A. Ratliff yesterday brought anit against the South ern Railway at Charlotte for, 110,000 for the loss of three toes in an accident. KINGS MOUNTAIN ITEMS.

Logan, one of our cleverest and most popular young men, left yesterday for Mecklenburg county, Va., where be goes to work in the insurance business. He is one of the incorporators and vice president of the com pany he will represent. Mrs. Sarah Gladden, whose critical illness we men tioned last week, was buried Tuesday at Elbetbel near here. She was 67 year sold and a good Christian woman. Mrs. Lisxic Palls, who is em ployed at the store of W. A. Mauoey 6c Bro. os a sales lady, dropped a check from her pocket in the store one day recently. The check wasdrawn by B. Blanton's bank of Shelby in favor of Prof. S. W. Carwile and was already endorsed. Our local talent presented "Among the Breakers" last night at the opera hall. The proceeds will be used in helping to estab lish a library in our school. So worthy a cause generally draws a good house ia our town. Meson. M. If. Carpenter and A. R.

These gen tlemen are aroused on the tin question and are meeting with much encouragement. They al ready have the quality and de sire now quantity. ”c iic icuxoiy lniormec uui lower Cleveland is to have an other cotton mill. Messrs. B. O. Jenkins & Son and a number of capitalists of Gaffney, have decided to erect a mill at one of the locations in the vicinity of Grover and Baris and that the location most likely to be chosen is a point about one mile this side of Grover on the railroad. Those behind the movement are well able to build the mill and we hope to see them succeed. At a called meeting one night this week "our city fathers" de cided to place a license of $15 on draymen and $5 on bill posters. William LeRicbeux paid for a drayman’s liccuae and C. T. Cornwell for one for posting bills. A barn on the plantation of Mrs. Mary B. Palls near town, was destroyed s few nigbts ago bv fire. There were 1,000 boo dles of fodder sod other rough ness in the barn, belonging to her tenant, Simon Fergason, which was also destroyed. The building was Id years old and botft et hcuo chestnut logs. A PMMkr AceUmt lo a Cow. CaaMt Trtbm*. Mr. Kelly Lyles, of Mo. 5 township, lost a cow Friday night and the cause of her death will be a new one to every one. When Mr. Lyles stepped into the barn Saturday morning he found the cow dead. Wonder ing what could have happened Mr. Lyles bad the cow opened and found piercing the dead cow’s heart a hat pin, an ordi nary hat pin six or eight inches long such as ladies wear every day. Mr. Lyles says he had been-feeding the cow peas and pea vines and in this provender the pin most have been. These pea vinca were gathered last fall by sdme colored girls and this is the only means Sir. Lyles can think ot for the cow geiting the bat pin. Daniel J. Sully, the broke cot ton king had mode $8,000,000 and was playing to win one more million, when he expected to retire but his greed over whelmed hint and be fell.

TBE GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE. 4. H. KiuWr * Cempea y Will Rt IW Mmmjt M N|f«Ml Palls. No MmmI DeaUig. Hyomei has made so many cures of the moat chrouic and deep seated cases of catarrh, that J. H. Kennedy & Co., consider it a specific in this disease. They extend an invitation to all catanh sufferers to call at .their store and purchase a Hyomei outfit with the distinct understanding that it will be absolutely free unless it effects a | cure. Tbe chief reason for the un usual success of Hyomei in the treatment of catarrhal troubles and other diseases of tbe sir passages, is tne fact that it cures by a new principle, impregnating tbe air you breathe with healing and germ-killing balsams. On this account it reaches the seat of the disease in a way impossible to pills, drugs or other stomach dosing. If any of J. H.
