A Yadkin Democrat Talks Solid Sense.

EDITOR SENTINEL For your informa-
ton and that of the people I want to say
something in regard to communication
published in the Union Republican short
time since concerning the Democratic Con-
vention which met in Yadkinville May 9TH
for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the State. Congressional and Senatorial Con-
ventions.
The correspondent to the Republican to
whom l allude stated that the Democratic
convention was composed of revenue officers
and that it appointed about one-half of the
Democrats of the county delegates to the
respective conventions, and that Mr.. Gran

the convention would not let him, ali Of
which is misrepresentation of the conven-
ton and party in Yadkin county. 1 want
the correspondent of the Repub lean of whom

OBITUARY,

Died, on the 9th of May, Mrs. Helen Mich
olson, wife of ]. G. Nicholson, aged 81, after q
long lingering affection of the lungs. Had
been member of the Baptist church during
the last ten years and was noted by all for hel
pious Christian life.
She leaves devoted and afectionate hus-
band and two small children to mourn theil
sad bereavement. But there is a mitigating
consolation that they may rely upon-the
promise that they can meet her where God
will wipe away all tears from tkeir eyes. May
they therefore look through the vale of these
sorrowing tears trusting.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

The GLORIOUS Fourth. /"

The various committees appointed for
Winston-Salem's proposed glorious
Fourth of July celebration are moving
their work forward satisfactorily and sue
cessfully. Indications point to one of the
grandest celebrations ever held in the
Twin-City, and the men who compose the
committees are in every way competent to
make it such.
The finance committee report handsome
collection already subscribed. A. meeting
last week DR.. Fl. T. Bahnson declined to
act as president of the day, whereupon Col
F. II. Fries was elected president.
Everybody seems to be manifesting an
interest in the celebration, and THE SENTI-
MEL is pleased to state that an invitation Is
extended to everybody to be present.
The military parade on that day will be
an interesting feature. The following mill
tary companies have been invited to attend,
viz: Greensboro, Reidsville, Durham,
Charlotte, Fayetteville, Statesville. Raleigh,
Oxford, Asheville and Washington, N. C.
Col. j. d. Glenn, of Greensboro, has been
invited to take charge of the companies.
The committee has made guod selection
by inviting Bro. w. g Burkhead, editor Of
the Durham Tobacco Plant, to read the
Declaration of Independence.
Hurrah for the -City's Fourth of
July Celebration!

We are reliably informed that there is a

not been upon good terms for four years or
more. Neither has spoken to the other in

prosperous condition. One member of the

Blair always says the proper thing on every
occasion, but he literally surpassed himself
on this occasion. He talked in his usual vi
vacious style and the beauties of rhetoric
came bubbling forth in a manner which
held the audience spell-bound. We never
heard similar speech of more chaste and
ornate elegance and more eminently appro.

The stoke. County Mines.

Brothes Pepper, of the Danbury Reporter
visited these mines a few days ago, where
Capt Shelly, the mining engineer, is devel-
oping the iron. The Captain says that he
is taking out some as fine iron ore as he ever
saw. That is saying much when we consid-
er that he is an expert miner, and has been
through many mines in this and other coun-
tries, and has been in the business fifty or
sixty years. The Captain says he will get
all the ore wanted, every mine so far develS
oped having proved satisfactory, more in
deed than was claimed for them. 1t seems
that nature fixed this for great manufac-
turing section, iron, manganese, lime, FIRE

any, with hundreds of sites for machinery

roasting of meats, broiling of steaks and
cooking of eggs in the shell was done with

can be done with the ordinary stove. Each

food and all pronounced it delicious.

That Potato Bug.

That Potato Bug.
The detestable little potato bug continues
to play havoc with the potato vines. The
striped bug with wings lays the eggs, which
hatch out the larvae, and it is the latter
that consume the vines. The proper time
to stamp them out, it is said, is while they
are in the eggs, which are deposited on the
under side of the leaves. By cutting the
leaf with shears or pulling the part contain
ing the eggs of, they can be gotten rid of the
cheapest. The eggs should be burned, and
not left upon the ground to hatch and crawl
upon and destroy the vines.

A Big Express War.

The Adams Express Company and
the United States Express Company,
became engaged last June in Il big fight
over the express business to points
along the North Jersey coast. The
fight has now assumed new complica-
tions which threaten to result in long
and bitter struggle in the courts be-
tween the two corporations.
The movements of the Adams Ex-
press officials are anxiously awaited
as their corporation has the exclusive
right to carry express matter over the
Bound Brook route between New
York and Philadelphia. 1t is known
that they have been for several days
busily engaged in arranging their
plans, so as to prevent the carriage of
the packages of the United States Ex-
press Company over that route. The
fight will be warm one and the liti-
CATION will be expensive.

where about three 0, clock, when there
was seen going up Laurel street, lean

out of the wind for fear of direful re-
suits, covered over with a blanket.
principally made of holes, and a long
twine string tied to q very small man,
who was leading the ancient looking
animal When opposite w. N.
Hewitt's auction rooms, the procession
halted, and the string was attached to
the rear wheel of a wagon. Auc,
tioneer Hewitt was soon standing on
the curb, pointing to the jaded beast
and telling the people he was going to
sell him. but in this he was not quite
correct. He told the crowd he would
guarantee ''it'' to be a horse, and then
proceeded to ask for bids. He COM
menced asking for $25, and then hur-
ried down to dollar, but no nodding
head was seen. "Will anybody give
me fifty cents for this horse?" he ap-
pealed. Everybody was as silent as
the grave. "Then cut the rope, and
who ever catches him can have him, =
said the auctioneer, but not soul
stirred. The weak looking horse still
stood in the road as if anchored.

Jersey Road Laws.

The special committee of the State
Board of Agriculture appointed at the
last annual meeting, to draft a new
road law, have held meetings in Tren-
ton, for several weeks past. They
will probably get through with their
work this week. They have gone over
about sixty pages of the present road
laws, and have extracted the good
found here and there. There are over
sixty different laws on the subject, and
many of them are contradictions, and
on that account, almost useless There
have been practically no laws on the
subject on that account. The various
Legislatures have essayed to remedy
the evil, but have always failed.
The State Board of Agriculture will
now make the attempt at their own
expense; they will go over the various
enactnents and will see whether all
the laws cannot be extracted and put
into one general act that will cover the
whole subject in such a manner as to
make the law operative. They are
not sure that it can be done; at least
they find it big contract, and do not
guarantee success. They will continue
to meet until the Legislature goes into
session, when bill will be presented
for general discussion.

was reached by high flight of steps
covered with an awning over the top
and sides, to protect the fair visitors
from the cooling breezes. which come
so refreshingly in Summer time from
the Orange Mountains, near by. The
steps and walk to the carriage road
were carpeted. The house was bright

honor of being the Centennial bride of

person who has been married from it

The publisher of the PIONEER was
surprised on Saturday, by his en-
ployees presenting him with a very
pretty gold headed cane, upon which,
was engraved ''G w. McC., Christmas,
1855" This publisher is seldom SO
much surprised that he has not the
means of expressing himself, but Sat
urday he had nothing to say Just
before noon, he was called in the COM
posing room, presumably on business
with the foreman. Then one of the
job printers hurried up stairs with a
proof for him to look over. While
thus engaged, a reporter rushed in the
room with sealed note, and waited
for an answer. But the answer never
came. About the time he had read
half way through the epistle, which
informed him of presentation of a
token of regard from his employees,
the foreman of the job department,
handed him the cane. The face of the
publisher colored, and he stammered
Mono that won't do" and then II
haven't anything to say-but II
would like to-" In a minute or two
after that, he trotted home with his
highly priced cane tucked securely un.
der his arm.

Yesterday afternoon, persons from

slant was on the pavement, dashing at
break-neck pace up the walk be-
tween the fence and the trees. The
vehicle was thrown on one side, bark
ing the trees, and the other, tearing
the palipgs from the fence. When the
corner OF Church and Elmer streets
was reached, the buggy came in con-
tact with an electric light pole, and
the animal was freed. The wagon was
completely wrecked, and the little
girl was thrown out clear across the
street, striking the wooden curbing
with her head. Her face was bruised.
and cut considerably. The horse con-
tinued on, crossing East Lake Dam,
and turning up the West Jersey rail-
road tracks, where it was caught,
