Economy in Wilkes.

From tie Washington (GG.) Chronicle.
Having business with an old gentleman
In Ebert county last week, sat in his
piazza until he could come from the field,
and l was surprised to see him walk up
berefooted. He had been hoeing all the
morning. The case will appear strange
when 1t is stated that he is past 90 and
owns 700 acres of land In his own right.
In Oconee county / saw a lady carding
cotton rolls, and her daughter was spin
ming the rolls into thread. Such economy
as this laid the basis of all the great for
tunes in this country. Our old people are
still capable of practicing this virtue, but
the younger generation are inclined to
live up to their privileges.
Ambition to have fine dressing does not
prevail everywhere. Passing along the
public highway in Oconee county the
other day and cogltating upon the eXtrav-
agance OF women, l saw lady in her
front porch, dressed in neat calico, but
wearing neither shoes nor stockings, and
not ashamed for passers-by to look at her
pretty feet. She was compOsedly knitting,
and seemed not to be disturbed at all by
the presence of strangers. l said to my
self, "Here is economy again; here is ma
ture unadOrned. What an immense saw
ing to overworked men, If the ladies
would discard shoes and stockings
through the hot summer months! No
more slippers; no more Newport ties
none Of Miles best-nature's own perfect
dress, unspoiled by the haudiwork OF
man." / had to buy two pairs of shoes as
soon as reached home, and my specula-
tiOns vanished into thin air.

port the choice of that county.

who should be the man. Eighteen dele
gates from the three counties met at Leary
for the purpose OF making the nominal
ton, and, after eight ballots, Dews' sup
porters saw 1t would continue to be a tie,
and they put up new man and ran him
on the next ballot. Much interest and
excitement prevailed, and when the re-

children. one son and two daughters. to
mourn his loss. We sympathize with
them in their bereavement.
