KHrKTY-FlFTH INSTALLMENT. (Prom The Gazette of Oot. 12, '83.) Mr.'R.'tJ. G Love's family moved Into town last Wednesday. Mr. R. H. Brown has sold his fine plantation on Indian Creek to Mr. Jtartln Hoyle. of Lincoln county Mr. Bean tells us that Tom Glenn is Improving rapidly as an apprentice ia the saddle and harness ousiness. We are glad to report this. Gaston county cannot be beat when it comes to making her mark at a show. Not a few of her citizens went over to Charlotte last week to see Sells circus, and some of them got teto the calaboose. It Is getting to be lively In this town now. Mr. J. H. Craig bought 44 bales of cotton last Tuesday al though other buyers are In the field. Cotton Is coming in rapidly every day and the price Is improving. The Presbytery of Mecklenburg will meet fit the Presbyterian church " at this place on Wednesday. Novem ber 7th. at 7 1-2 o'ciocn; The open ing sermon will be preached by tae retiring moderator. Kev. W. B. Mc Ilwaine. ' We see in The Charlotte Journal Observer that our young friend Dave Jenkins was married last Tuesday evening to Miss Bettie M. Conrad. , one of Forsyth's most oeautlful ana ' accomplished young ladies. May happiness and prosperity attend ' them. '. ,( ' . Gaetoaia as a Cotton Market. (From The Gazette of Oct; 12. '83.) The town weigher's records show a large increase over the correspond ing period of last year. This Is nat ural to a certain extent from the fact that the crop is sotuo eajlier this season, but there is no denying that there is much cotton being brought here on account of oar buyers paying : so near the Charlotte market, mucn nearer than the i difference in tne freight would justify. This town has for a long time felt the need of a regularly established . market, and the farmers of the count ; ty are both, to be congratulated upon ' the consummation of so desired a result. '-This Is an age of combina tion and the. tendency is to buy tn large quantities, and our buyers who esq sell in lOv bale lots, guarantee ing grade and being able to make prompt deliveries, can sell to a better advantage than the man who has on ly a few bales. It is a noted fact that the bulk of the cotton is bought oy Southern agents for Northern mills, - ' and they can better afford , to pay more for 100 or more bales in one purchase than to go on the market and buy tn one, two and five bale lota. Gastonia is on a regular Doom In all of its industries, but in estab lishing Itself as a good cotton market it Is making exceptional progress, and we are proud to record it.

We had hoped that the warring governments of the Old World would respond to the piea of our president and enter into a com pact that would insure permanent and universal peace. The reply of Germany to this plea for peace is a deliberate invitation to further strife. "When the German government delivered its note of January 31, it knew, then as well as it knows now, that diplomatic relations would 'e severed. The president could not have done less without obliterating every trace of our national honor' We deeply hope that Germany may yet stay her hand, but ir American ships or American lives shall he wan tonly destroyed then, our people ai one man without respect to race o politics, will uphold the president tn whatever action he may take to pre serve the honor and saltey of tne na tion."
