NORTH CAROLINA NOTES.

DR.. Eugene Grissom, ex-superintendent
OF he North Carolina Insane Asylum, has
decided to live at Raleigh and practice
medicine. There has been much Specula.
ton as to what part of the State he
would make his home, and also as to
what would be his plans.
Morganton Star: Mr.. w. H. Connellv
recently appointed clerk of Burke superior
court to fill out the unexpired term of s.
T. Pearson, resigned, after serving about
two weeks, rendered his resignation to
Judge Bynum who on last week ap-
pointed Mr.. J. W. Happoldt in his place.
Wilmington Star: The British steamer
Osmani was cleared yesterday for Liv-
erpool by Messrs. Sprunt & Son, with
slXty-tive hundred bales of cotton, the
value OF which is three hundred and cigh-
teen thousand and six hundrd dollars
the weight being 3, 1S6,O92 pounds. This
is the largest cargo of cotton ever shipped
from this port.
Swain County Herald: Judge Clark
ordered that four prisoners confined in
the Jail at Webster shall work out their
time and the costs of the trials on the
public roads. If any maletacters shall
hereafter be confined in our Jail we hope
the same disposition may be made of
them. Labor from some source is badly
needed on some of our roads.
Brevard Voice: On Wednesday night
of last week the residence of Mr.. w. IL
Puctt, on Carson'S Greek was burned to
the ground. The fire was discovered in
time to save most Of the contents of the

some winter clothing which were stored
Ill closet were destroyed. Mrs. Puctt
received several severe burns during the
fire. Cause of the fire unknown.
The Wilmington Star SAYS: Support
your home paper. No matter how small,
sustain it. ltnot Il good paper now, YOU
can make it SO by giving it hearty
substantial support. There are many |
newspapers in North Carolina, conducted
by worthy and capable men, that are
struggling for existence. Help them out.
Put them on high plane of usefulness.
A weekly newspaper conducted with
energy and ability is worth from $4,000
to $4,000 year to the county in which
it is published. You may doubt this,
but it is Il solid fact

hat was as pretty as any we ever saw,
and was free from all other substances.
II was bright orange color, and Prof
Beal told us that there was enough of
his ochre within twenty miles of Muir
)hy to supply the United States iOr a
hundred years. There is no getting
around the fact that old Cherokee is rich
n mineral deposits, and we long for the
lime when the work of developing her
'ast resources will reach its zenith:
