George Austin. who has been chief cook
1t the Blue Front Confectionery, on Main
street, SO long, is anxious to inform his
friends and acquaintance, who claim to

very ill., but is now much improved and
hopes soon to be out with them again.
Our city fathers will please answer us:
Should that platform on Main street near
the X. C. Railroad trestle be allowed to re-
main as a nuisance forever? Other houses,
the Express Office included, use portable
stage blanks across the sidewalk. It's
perfect shame, and ''only five feet five
inches high" and across the only walk to
the Cemetery.
A difficulty occurred near the K. c.
depot on Thursday evening last between
two young men named respectfully Wesley
Williams and James Green, during which
the former inflicted several painful wounds
on the latter with pocket-knife. Previous

were partners in buying and selling prod
uce. We learn from the attendant physi-
though he received several severe wounds
We think women and wine were at the bot
tom Of the difficulty.
To the Editor of the Star:
| see by an editorial in the Gazette pub
lished in this place. that threat is made,
and doubtless will be carried out, whether
the resort is apparently profitable or not, to
use money in the pending August electiril
in support of the entire ticket recently
nominated by the Democratic voters in a
primary electieil. AS regards this open
and bold threat in defiance of State law.
we have only to say that it will not be
winked at by any means, when the attempt
IS made to practice the use of money to
control the ballot-box on that day. And
we earnestly protest against any infringe
ment on laws governing our State elections,
the same as we dGprecate the violation OF
any other statute. POPULAR.
