Dr. Preston's Experience on HJs Journey Through the Mountains. Rev. Dr. Preston returned Tuesday from the mountain trip he and Mr. R. A Dunn -made together. They went to Chimney Rock and Hickory Nut Gap, to Asheville and out through Bun combe, Yancey. Madison and Mitchell counties, by Weaverville and Burns vine, to Roan Mountain, and thence to Linville, Blowing Rock and Pattersons. Dr. Preston says the mountain scenery in Hickory Nut Gap and mow ing Rock and all through the moun tains in the western part of the State is grander and more rugged than the mountain scenery of Virginia. It can not be surpassed east of the Rocky Mountains, and he be ieves that even tually travelers will surge through that section during the summer months. It is destined to be the great resort of the Eastern section of the country. "However," said Dr. Preston, "they will not 'surge' much over the road we traveled." After getting out of Buncombe county, where the roads were worked and were passable. Dr. Preston said, they struck the bad roads in Yancey, Madison and Mitchell, which did not appear to have bet n worked in a gen eration. Over some of these 20 miles was a good day s journey. At the as cent to the Roan they struck an impas sable road. - It was thirtv milps nut. rf the "beaten paths," but a farmer was iuuuu wno fcoi ineir vemcle through over a short cut, but so rough that Mr. Dunn and he had to hire saddle horses. The journey was impeded so that they did not get to Blowing Rock in time to stay there over last Sunday. They spent that day at Linville, where they arrived at 11:30 Saturday night, having driven 18 miles after dark. Dr. Preston greatly enjoyed the grand view from the top of the Roau. They there. They noted four thunder storms iwciug uuw mem ai one time, the sun -shining between them. Dr. Preston said he never before so fully realized how partial rain is. Mr. Dunn, ve.'y much improved, was left at Pattersons in the Happy Valley. Dr. Preston himself was much im proved. Both enjoyed the outing great- Kal and the Lack of It. From Rev. Mr. White's to Mr. Baker's, , on the Steel Creek road, a good rain fell yesterday evening. . Mallard Creek is still very dry and the , crops are suffering. y$ A good farmer in Steel Creek town , - Ship reports no rain on seven plan ta . " tions In four weeks.

U a CeWwflts Kind Ab XUastralioa. Whether hia elevation to the baroor etage ' Inspired Sir Lewis . Morris to write the "Morning Song," which opens the August Cosmopolitan, or whether this lofty song inspired Lord Rose be ry to propose to the Queen to make him a birthday present of his title, I know not, but the song remains, and whatever else Sir Lewis may have written, this is a gem' of pure and .se rene beauty. The first stanza has a Miltoaio rinjf listen "Awake I Arise! Say's shining eye. - Open unclouded to the waking skies . Night and the hosts of Sleep Dispersed, defeated creep To their Letbean dens and sunless cav erns deep."- The second stanza awakens memories of Shelley: "Hark! with the day, Bh roundelay Each brave bird sings and speeds away. Aloft on circling wings 1 h. mounting sky-la-k sings, A denizen or air, scorning terrestrial things." - . The third staaza bears in its melo dious lines echoes of Edmund Spencer, iod calls to mind that perfect and ex quisite poem, his Epithalamium": . "Arise! Awake 1 Ana, singing, make Thy morning orisons for Love's sweet sake! Awake! Awake! Arise! Let the cerulean skies Live in the faithful asure of thine eyes." Whether it shows lack of freshness and desirable originality for a poem of the present day to shine with the sparkles of jewels that were polished and laid away centuries ago, I am not enough of an artist or critic to say, but to me it is pleasant to be reminded of old treasures, especially during these thirsty fln-de-siecle days when nearly everybody is crazy for the new and the bizarre. William Hamilton Gibson, uncle, I believe, to the otherdistinguished illus trator, Charles Dana Gibson, whose American girl has become so familiar to us on the pages of Life and other journals William Hamilton Gibson, the great lover and interpretor of na ture; the undisputed authority in bot any and bird-lore, has made a most ex quisite illustration of this charming morning song. To him who has eyes to see and a heart to thrill, this frontis piece of the Cosmopolitan is wo'th the year's price of the magazine. Pursue this idea as it leads us on. See the number and variety of new magazines lying by this one on the literary tables, each bearing on its clear, crisp pages the choicest treasures of the literary world, gathered from every land the sun shines on, ard estim,te if you can the pleasure that one membership may give. isitor. The Caiup-MeetiDg at the Park. The discussion of the pros and cons in the camp-meeting matter as referred to in Tuesday's and yesterday's Ob server, continues with unabated zeal in colored circles. Already there is an armistice in sight, and ii is now be lieved that "oil on the troubled waters" will be seen ere the opening of the meeting. A good old sister, with that pure negro dialect, so sweet to Southern ears, said yesterday: "Honey, dem preachers know dat dere Sunday collec tions will fall otf while de camp is goin' on." The tents, tabernacle and seats are all in order, and next Wednesday at flight fall the horn will announce to the peo ple that the camp is on, and that sinners must take due notice thereof and gov ern themselves accordingly.

The institution has 100 acres of uncultivated land near Raleigh which the trustees have de cided to put into cultivation to aid in making the institution self-sustaining. A Cool Wave Coining. Weather Observer Dosher had glad news for the local public last night, as he was caught by an Observer re porter. "I think we are on the verge of a change from the present hot weather," he said. "I believe we are to have cooler weather in a few days. There is a cool wave heading this way from the Northwest. We are likely to have showers to-morrow," he contin ued.

Talk .: ' . at Prayer-Meeting; Laat High. - ' "The heavens, even the heavens are the Lord's, but the earth bath He given to the children of men.'. - This was the text of Dr. Boyd's prayer-meeting talk last nlght-at. the First Presbyterian church. - He called attention to the partition of the universe. Ib one sense God ' bas power and control over- the earth which He bas committed to man, In that he permits whatever takes place; but to man He has given it, to keep, it, to till it, to find out the hidden laws and forces, to discern by the intelligence with wbieh he is endowed the myste1 ries of nature, to recover all that was lost in the fall. From these points Dr. Boyd declared the startling truths that man is respon sible for many things that are often with great appearance of pious resigna tion ,4aid tq. the . werkinga of divine rrovidence.twmjn3; is this the case in the matter of sjSrow. The laws of health have been discovered by scien tists. It has been fonnd out that poison ous airs, fetid sewers, impure, germ-producing water causes dangerous diseases. Yet, when our beloved ones are stricken down, when our homes are darkened by death we say we are afflicted by God, while we are responsible, as we go on heedless of numberless warnings from foul odors and filthy sewers. The earth belongs to man to dress it and keep it pure and sweet as a fit and wholesome habitation and when he neglects the laws of sanitation he is the party to blame, not providence. It was a stirring, ringing talk, full of the gospel of cleanliness and health, and as the gospel always begins calhng on those whose fault it is to repent of carelessness and neglect, we should take pride not so much in superb streets as a perfect system of sewerage; not so much in a grand city hall and new court house as pure water. Dr. Boyd's talk was greatly admired by those who heard it, and it was the theme of much favorable comment afterwards. BUGS WITH APPETITE. Grasshoppers That Eat Shoes, and Others That Swallow Railroad Trains. A gentleman was reading yesterday in the New York Recorder about the boss grasshoppers that live up in Sul livan county, N. Y. They are not only insatiable, but omnivorous. The other day, it is said, Farmer Jay McEwen, while working in his rye field, hung his vest, a new one, on the fence, and in a few minutes the hoppers had eaten it full of holes. On a neighboring farm a woman left a pair of new shoes out of doors overnight and next day found that the grasshoppers had partly eaten them, utterly ruining them. "That s pretty good, said the gentle man, "but they beat that in Texas. Last year some railroad ran a line of cars through Texas all painted green, and wheu the train stopped at the first station in the grasshopper country, the grasshoppers lit on the cars and ate them clean down to the wheels. This story is good but the cock-roaches or whatever you call these guilty con science insects that tear otf in snch con fusion of face whenever you discover them, are almost as bad as the grass hoppers. They have eaten all the lunch baskets of the Observer's composing room force, along with their contents UK. BOYU'S PLANS. He Preaches the First Sermon in Evans- ton's New Church A Farewell Service Here. Rev. Dr. J. n. Boyd, who has ac cepted the call to the pastorate of the 1' irst Presbyterian church at Kvanston, 111., will not begin his work there until me isi oi iciooer. i ne cnurch is a handsome new one, having been burnt down recently and rebuil', and it is the desire of the congregation that the new pastor occupy its pulpit at tho; first service held in it.

A few nights ago a strange animal came to Mr. Andy- Alexander's house, on the Sugar Creek road about six miles from, town, and gave him much trouble for awhile. It came and ? got in - his water wagon and tried rto drink all the water o.W From there it went for the dogs, bat they-were too strong in num bers for him and he escaped up a tree.

FOWLER TRAPPED. An Exciting Chase After a Man Accused of Larceny Struck By Bird Shot. "Lawyer" Bill Roberts has proved himself a brave man besides being the master of a dog kennel. The sheriff deputized Mr. Roberts to go in search of one Lem Fowler, white, who stands accused of larceny, having stolen from the Singer Machine Company at Char lotte last fall. The lawyer engaged three men to go along with him to Fowler's house, Tuesday night, three miles below Matthews where Fowler was supposed to nave been in hiding, surrounded the house at midnight and there waited until day-break when one of Fowler's sons came to the door and was asked by Deputy Sheritf Roberts if his father was wiihin and the answer came quickly, "No, he is not: nowhere in these diggins " Roberts, not believ ing the lad, told him he was the sheriff and was going to search the house. As Roberts went in one door the old man made his exit out of the other, going by one of the lawyer's deputies at a cannon ball rate. The deputy cried to the man to halt, but there was no time to be lost and he kept going. Mr. Roberts says about this time a gun was fired by the hands of one whom he knew not, which did not stop the running man. He saw the man was about to escape, and, be ing a good sprinter himself, struck out down the road after him, catching the culprit a good distance down the lane. After tieing Fowler, he made an exam ination to see if auy of the shot had struck him and more than one bird shot was found lodged on his person below the waist.

A Good Bit 0 On ready-made clothing be cause it's August, don't you know?

C, May 1, 1891. Mkssks. McPheksou & Thompson, West End, N. C: Gestlemex: It is truly wonderful what the Jackson Springs Water will do. I know of several persons who were so weak as scarcely to be able to walk, who in a short time were entirely re stored to robust health. Every year people flock there. After the houses are all filled they camp in tents and some sleep in their wagons and cook and eat in the open air. But now, that you have a good hotel there, the accom modation will be a blessing to the peo ple. We are eighteen miles from tbe Springs and I send for the water often.

This is an elegant stock, this Ralelghrr purchase, just the thing to increase tne rushing trade of the Racket. Why, everybody in the house has been on double quick for the past 10 days, and yet we are unable at times to wait on our trade. Last Saturday was an old time fallday. Hundreds, of people packed our house, all eager and anxious to secure some of the many rare bar gains thrown 'upon our counters. No such thing as competition when we commence to hand out these great land slides overflowing with sledge hammer bargains. We are actually selling thou sands of dollars of elegant goods in all lines from 25 to 50 per cent, less than manufacturers' wholesale price, and yet we are not selling them at cost to us and doing business for the fun there is in it, but making our usual small profit. It's all done in the buying. Buying cheap, selling cheap, is the secret of our wonderful success. To make times lively as we speed along we otTer 500 pairs men's pants at 40 to 75c; excellent bargains, these: you can't buy the cloth for the money we ask. 400 pairs men's and boys' tennis shoes, rubber bottoms, that cost 45c at the factory, our price 2oo per pair. Ladies' cheap .Oxfords 35c. Ladies' button and lace shoes 75c for a fair shoe, and for $1.75 and $2 we can show you an elegant stock. Turns and hand welts, such as B. P. Reid's, Allen & Marvin, John Kelly and other popular brands. Anything you want in misses', children's and infants' "shoes. Men's shoes by the hundred anywhere from $1 for a good solid shoe to $2. 50 for a first-class hand-sewed, such as Marcy Bros., W. L. Douglas and the celebrat ed Rockland makes. No use wasting time looking for better and cheaper shoes than ours. We have close on to $20,000 worth of shoes in all lines to turn loose on this market at a saving of 25 to 50 per cent, to the public. Watch the fur fly from now till January next. We are showing the most elegant stock of fine trunks bought in the Raleigh stock; trunks that Messrs. Norris &Co., paid $10 and $16 for and sold at $15 to $26, our price less than one-half. See them. It is impossible to give an idea in a small space of the number of things we are selling cheap. Here is the dress goods, over there the dry goods, linens, corseCs&nd ladies' underwear. On the gallery an elegant stock of men's and boys' hats, hand bags and valises. Up stairs carpets and matting.
