. THE bill to extend the charters OF
the National Banks which has passed
the House will doubtless pass the Sem
ate and become law. 1t makes but
little difference, as under the present
law the banks whose charters expire
have the authority to reorganize. why
don't the party in power give to cor
porations the entire power to coin all
the money of the realm and regulate
the value thereof, thus removing the
question of currency out Of the pool OF
politics, and saving all the pother about
the matter. The power was delegated
to Congress to coin money and regu-
late. its value, but they might as well
farm out the whole business as the halt
of it.

IT is sheer nonsense for an editor to
clip witty paragraphs from his ex-

Mrs. SALLIE ROCKWELL, of West
Brattleboro, VT, celebrated her l04th
birthday last Sunday, furnishing an
awful warning against the use of to-
bacco. She has been constant smo-
ker for many years, and is likely to
indulge in the habit for some time to
come. Those who do not wish to at
tain such ripe old age should not use
the vile, sinking vegetable BlSom-

Many farmers in this section have
bought reapers to cut their harvest on
account of the scarcity of hands.
Numerous friends are visiting our
little mountain village at present,
which has put on a very pleasant APP
pearance. Painting, whitewashing
and general repairing have been the
order of the day, and have added
greatly to the looks of our town.
Harvest in close at hand and wheat
promises a good crop. Corn looks
splendid, considering the late plant
ing.
Frank SHRINK, colored, one of Rev.
j. w. Hedges farm hands, met with
a painful accident Monday evening.
While attempting to take the cut fod-
der away from the cutting box, his
hand came in contact with the knives
and two fingers of the right hand were
cut off.
While in town few days ago, we
overheard some talk in regard to a
young gentleman who is prominently
mentioned in some of the county pa
perS as an aspirant for the legislature.
1fC art NClN
dent of nomination and election Gil
the Democratic ticket. We would
kindly say to our friend that there is
generally time enough after the cleo
ton to see about the pay and the best
hotel to stop at. We can recommend
the hotel de G.. M. S. as very good
house.
1t is understood that the Masons elect

While passing out of town a few
nights ago, Mr.. G. F. Bodine's horse
stumbled and fell, throwing Mr.. b. off,
hurting his shoulder and face, but we
are glad to learn, not seriously.
We are not deprived of any of the
luxuries of life, if we do live up here
in the mountain. Our enterprising
young confectiOner Lee has brought
to the front some very fine tropical
fruit.

The very natural preference among
ladies for white costumes is greatly
stimulated this year by the endorsement
of leading fashion authorities, and they
are therefore now considered the most
popular thing for summer wear. Months
ago, putting this and that together, we
felt sure that such would be the case,
and while providing literally of all sea-
sonable dress goods, we have endeavor-
ed to excel in the production of White
goods and now offer one of the prettiest
and we believe the very largest col
lection of the season. A very sensible
fashion this. White goods renew their
youth constantly, coming out of the
laundry as fresh and beautiful as from
the hands Of the costumer, and stand q
world of wear. Our collection embraces
Persian Lawns, figured Swiss, India
Lawns, Mulis, &C., and Plaid India
Lawns, the latest and most charming of
all white goods. Our lace and Swiss
Hamburg trimming have been selected
with great care and we know are espec-
tally cheap. Our assortment of white
and Black Spanish lace ties is beautiful.
We would also call attention to our stock
of white and black Spanish LAGOS which
we offer exceedingly low.-Remember
that Emmert & Fiery's is the white goods
market of the season.

on the Solicitor of the Treasury last
week to urge the sale of the water
power properly belonging to the
United States at that place. Objec-
ton was made to a lease for any term OF
years, and an absolute sale was sug-
gested as the best disposition to be
made of the property in the interest
of the citizens as well as of the gov.
eminent. These gentlemen represent
the wealth and solid interests of this
historical place, and they pledge them
selves to combine for the purpose of
representing to the manufacturers and
capitalists of the country the advan-
tages and value of the property, on con-
dition that the Solicitor will advertise
a sale at an early day. The law re-
quires ar advertisement of three
months, and it was intimated that in
the interval a company might be
formed for the purpose Of developing
this water-power and of purchasing
the property at reasonable price, or
that attention could be so directed to
its capacity and value that COMPETE
ton may be reasonably assured
