conscientious compositor in mistaking it for "h" especially as the transformation would create "congenial cline" for the ''devil." Hell was ruled out, however, as we knew the Rev Ellis was too thoroughly orthodox to omit equipping himself at the outset, with that indispensable accessory to the means of oeinging the sln hardened North Carolinians to the Rock of Ages.
 During the past week number of sub. | scribers have paid up many of whom informed ] us that they had no Idea they were in arrears, untll after reading our dunning paragraph ln | the last issue of the NEWS they looked at the date on the label, just to see when my time is up," and were surprised to see that they were several mouths behind. And there are lots of other deinquents on our list who Lhlnk these duns are meaut tor somebody else, and who would no doubt willingly pay up If their personal attention were called 10 the matter, but with a hst of between 1000 anu s.OOO subscribers it will be readily seeu that | to send blls to each, would make much uu. | necessary expense and bother, therefore We
 
 lu the hope that they will arrest the atten- | tion of some conscience stricken delinquent. The Magee & Miller "Ramblers" who advertised to present ''Only a Farmers Daughter" in Town hall last Wednesday nlght ''rambled" out os town without play ing. They lett here all broke up," and out ot funds. Their advance agent got blind drunk and failed to bill any towns ahead and the towusssesasilsd to bill are none the worse off, for his fahhfesss The "com6lnatlon" fdisbanded on Thursday, fhe majority. of them gong to Mllerton, the balance somewhere else. At the depot taky got into light among themseiyesin whlchs the boss gave the advance agent a ''slde- -winder" under the ear, but that lttle show was stopped by Sheriff VanDeusep, who stood near. It is sincerely to be hoped that ahould this shabby-genteel troupe ever kiss and make up" among them selves and start out again, they will skip Canaan with thelr bawdy liLhographs-and we guess they will.
 Sandtown IS still on earth, gentlemen, if sn0 naS kept quleI TOT 8 lew months past. The latest excitement was caused by the ac- cldental shooting of colorel boy, son oi Simon DeWltt last week One story is, that Bill. Johnson ot this place, was cleaning his revolver. when he saw halt dozen boys up on hill, and thinking 1t would be iuu to trlghten them, he fired Ill that direction with out aiming, and thinking they were too far off to be in any danger. The ball took effect in young DeWut's right leg The boy Sat down and yelled bloody murder. Bill. at ouce came up and summoned Dr. Camp, who dressed the wound, and the boy IS now do. Ing nicely. There IS no probability that Bill. intended to shoot him, as Bill. is not that kind of a fellow. He probably wanted to give the boy as thorough fright as he hlm- selt experienced when Pete Hlcks' "big InjuL" chased hin4 ac: oss the cornhelds ln Wetaug some mouths ago; but 1t is another warning against the careless handling oI shooting irons.

EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

THE state election in Georgia comes oft to-
day.
HANCOCK must be prophet, because he
lacks the confidence Of the people where he
lives; they have always voted against him and
will do SO again.
"THRRE is reason in al things except free
trade advocate. Is. A. Express.
You will craw-6sh so far as John Hancock
is concerned.
HANCOCK in the convention OF &c attempted
to fasten upon Texas the payment of the civil
service debt made during the rebellion,
amounting to $3,ooo,ooo. John and his
friends had been buying up these claims as
speculation. He failed to fasten this debt on
the state of Texas.

KNOW-NOTHING HANCOCK'S OPINION
OF DEMOCRACY IN 1855.

John Hancock as know-nothing candidate
for congress issued an address to the people
dated June 70, 1855, in which he held the fol-
lowing opinion of the democratic party: ''The
great party heretofore the exponent Of these
principles, either demoralized by success or
influenced by some worse motive, in many
places where they are in power, retain nothing
10 common with the party Of former days, ex-
ceg the name, and can no longer be received
as their representative or trusted with the pre-
servation of our interests in them"
Hence, know-nothing John concluded to
try conclusions with democrat Bell and know
nothing John was defeated. The statute Of
limitation will have to be plead for know
nothing John.

Gov. Coke-No. After these repeated fail

resorted to new tactics, and began to food the
country with letters to almost every man he

In February, 1866, John Hancock, briga-
der general U. S. volunteers, had his head
quarters in the fourth story of the City Hotel,
New Orleans. Here he received Texans,
Jealous in the union cause, and planned his
campaigns against the rebels. 1t was in this
month a gentleman, now a member of the
Legislature, called on General Hancock. and
was introduced to Captain Oaks, who died in
this city while attending the reconstruction
convention. AS Oaks left the room, General
Hancock remarked to the gentleman men
toned above, "Oaks killed Brooks, one of
the id rebel enrolling officers, and am
going to get him commission" He did get
him commission. This little incident should
serve to endear Hancock to the Confederates
as much as his reachery of Union men does
now to republicans. estate Journal, Sep
iember IS, 1871"
