H. McKenzie is today the pos sessor of about 30 gallons of liq uor1 which he ! seised. , late Wed nesday night upon the arrival; of passenger , train No. 35 from Richmond. The Sheriff was ad Vised. in some unsnown manner rom higher up that two trunks containing a lot of jvhis key. had been checked to . Salis bury,- Having secured the bag gage numbers ofthe trunks wanted, he 1 proceeded to seize the trunks wanted, .which were well filled with - whiskey. , The railroad company demanded a receipt from the Sheriff which was given , and tne goods are held by the Sheriff waiting call by the owner. It is said to be a very fine article. ; -. ; ; , The farm animals are being given at last their true positions. When drie sees the stock at the State Fair this idea will at once be set in their minds. There are in the districts where the1' faftge is open and where he Legisla ture unfortunately, failed to give the, sweeping.

We . are learning something in this di rection as in others and revolu tions never go backward. xne seven year 01a son o Mr. Allen Bentley who lives in South east Lenoir, drank a part of some solution containing car bono acid yesterday , about noon and Dr. C.

This is a most regretable accident and peopl should be very carefnl of - what they leave within the' reach 0 an innocent child. - v , mar Mpip.
