popular nnd efficient Capt, W. w,
Lang, are working AZ n band of broth

the advancement ~ their order, with
no Intention of mbgllng politics with

Notwithstanding the rumor 10 the con

to receive the nomination for our

Democrat; II privilege his advocates
have n right TO exercise, aud one which

none more worthy could be found than
the gifted and popular Lang.
Crops ms II general thing Is not good
with us, though In the Eastern portion
of the county there never wera better
prospects, aud whether the dr0uth con-
tinues or not II surplus will be made,
sufficient to supply all demands for
home consumption.
Marlin, our prosperous and enter
prsing little place is somewhat dull,
nothing having occurred to break its
monotony, or such | may term it),
save concert given few evenings
since by Miss Ella Rives your city.
Having known her long, with the fam
lily before her, am proud TO say, us u
lady she IN jewel, and musical genius
of which any community should feel
honored to enrol upon its list of adopt
ed daughters. Her audience was ap-
prcciative-h efforts u success, and
though now shining as she does within
clrcumscribed limits, is destined at no
far of day to dazzle America by the
sweetness of her vocal powers and skill
rs an instrumental performer. Born
rs she was In luxury, wealth aud ease,
witha future swept away by the fate of
war, closely connected 10y blood to
one of Nirglna's noblest families
whose voice has been often heard
in our National councils, what II grand
spectacle does she present, giving up
all the attractions of home and brav-
ing the battles of lille in hehafof
calling on which all her hopes and
ambition are centered.
She left on the Goth instant, attended
10y the best wishes of our community,
for New York, which city she visits In
the interest of her music class and the |
Philharmonic Society of Dallas, and
looks with pleasure to the hour, Sep
temher lst,) when she win return and
resume her duties in your midst, and !
mingle once more with the people she |
loves so well.
Promising, If agreeable to you, to let
you hear from me again, am with
respect, TAR HEEL.
