elected County Business Agent. E.
B. Keearns was elected by reclamation,
delegate to the State Alliance. 1t
was decided by the different Alliances
represented to hold the next meeting
in the court house at Asheboro.
Short and appropriate speeches were
made by DR.. Parker, j. j. White, E.
B. Keearns and T. L. L. Cox. These
speakers seemed in the best of humor,
and made every Alliance mar feel the
necessity of acting in unison with each
other. 1t was composed of some of
our best farmers and citizens, and we
hope great good may be accomplished
by it. Randolph can boast of some
as good farmers as there are in the
State, and they are jealous workers
for the Alliance Next meeting is to
be held at Asheville, at the time laid
down in the Constitution.

qualified by their preparation and experience for the
work committed to their care.
The Music Department is under the care Of teach
ers of culture and refinement, who have taken un-
usual pains to qualify themselves. for their work,
and who are well known to patrons as most popular
and successful.
The lady in charge of the Art Department gives
her entire time to her work, and spends most of her
vacations in securing additional instruction under
the best masters. +"

eligible, on account of its celebrity for health; and
the history of the school for forty years fully sus-
tains this reputation. Its health record is not sur
passed by any institution in the State.

A NARROW ESCAPE While a passenger
train on the Washington, Ohio and Western
Railroad was on its way TO this city Tuesday
afternoon, and when close upon Goose
Creek b i1ge, where there is curve in the
road, the engineer discovered several cows
on the track. So close was the train upon
the cattle that it was found impossible to
avoid running over them, and to have struck
them any other than severe blow would
doubtless have derailed the train and pre-
cipitated 1t into the creek below There was
bnt one chance for the safety Of the cars.
and that was to strike the cattle as f)rcibly a.
possible; so the engineer, equal to the emer-
eency, pulled open the throttle and sent the
pilot of MS epgiue into the herd, killing two
outright and Gripping several others. The
train remained on the track aud the only
damage it received was the destruction of
the steps on one side Of the baggage car,
which collded with one of the crippled cows.
