ELKIN, suRRY COUNTY.

ELKIN, Feb. "a few lines OCCASION
ally from the Gate City of the Blue
Ridge doubtless would be perused
with interest by the readers of The
SENTINEL. have selected the name
Gate City of the Blue Ridge and ap-
piled it to our town, because it seems
to be appropriate, and then it is the
fashion you know, to seek high
sounding titles.
Located at a point, where the line
of travel coming through Elk Spur,
Roaring and Fisher Gaps in the Blue
Ridge centers, or rather unites in one,
we find the beautiful and growing lit
tie town of Elkin. Situated directly
on the line of the Winston Wilkesboro
Railroad, with back country ex-
tending beyond the Blue Ridge into
the counties of lGrayson, Ashe and
Allegheny and at least half of Wilkes
and Yadkin as feeders, there seems to
be a bright future in waiting for her.
There are now four general stores,
one drug store, one tin and stove
store, wagon and blacksmith shops,
planning mill, two -four mills, one cot
ton and one wooden factory all in
successful operation, and seem to be
doing a good business. The land
adjacent is of deep, rich soil, and
produces abundant harvests, while
the mineral deposits are rich and
varied but need to be developed
The town has never been regularly
laid out, everybody locating their
buildings to suit themselves and &C.
cording to their own fancy. There is
room plenty and a welcome awaits
all who wish to come and settle
among us, butwe want men of brains
and capital, who will help to develop
of country surrounding us.

A WET STUDY.
LATTER AMELIE RIvEs.1

LATTER AMELIE RIvES.1
Mid the swish and swash
Of the swipity swab
And the slime of the city's slun,
We pause and gaze
With brainy haze
On weather gloomy and glum
And the swim and swath
OF the sousing rain,
As it swoops right down compluuk,
Is enough to make sober man drink
And drinking man staving drunk.
The glug-glug glinks in the glimmering
gloam,
Where the buzz buzz BUNDLED his bail
The Pipkin piques a petulant "Poo"!
To the garulous gawk of the gale.
Oh woe TO the swap of the sweeping swip<
That booms on the babbling bay
Snickered the Shark to the snoozing Snike
That lurked where the Lamprey lay.
Whether you understand the above Oh
not, you can understand that Leopold''
cigars are the only honest, downright, up
right. square and fine goods made in NORTH
Carolina.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 1S.-TSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. There was a lively discuss on
in the senate TO day over resolution calling
for an investigation of the beef and pork
combine, the resolution being the special
order for the day 1t directs the governor TO
correspond with the governors of Interested
states with view TO securing Joint action
and uniform legislation through a convention
of members OF the legislatures of the several
states, each TO be represented by three sena-
tors and five representatives. Senator Gil
lett, author of the resolution, made vigOr-
Gus assault upon beef and pork trusts, which,
he alleged had eXertcd powerful influence
towards centralizing the markets in
Chicago and Kansas City and bringing
the beef product of the United
States under absolute control He claimed
that the prices now offered for beef cattle in
Kansas offered TO the producer no profit
whatever, and that thereby the great indus.
try of Kansas had been greatly injured aud
would If the combine was not broken up
completely destroy the business in Kansas.
He asserted that this combine was directly
responsible for the present ,ow price of the
beef product and urged that legislation
should be Immediately enacted which would
tend TO protect the stock growers and farm
ers against the manipulatlons of the trust.
Senator Buchanan believed that this trust
existed only IN the Imagination of the news
papers. Senator Kelly wanted TO include
the grain trust, which he SAID was Just as
destructive to thc grain interests of Kansas
After some further discussion the resolution
was adopted without opposition.

POnCa Notes

PoNcA, Neb., Jan. 1s.--ISpccial to THE
BEE. l.-ponca and the northeastern corner
of Dixon county, is experiencing a genuine
real estate boom. Within the last month an
unprecedented amount OF land transfers
have taken place at advances OF 80 and 200
per cent Farm land. worth from $40 to $50
per acre has sold for 800, and large tracts
adjoining the town have been bought up for
from $500 to $500 an acre.
From the present outlook the approaching
city election in this place will be the most
bitterly and closely contested of any that has
ever occurred here. The issue will be license
or no license, and the voting population is
pretty evenly divided in their views.
a great wave of religious feeling seems
to have struck Ponca of laste. Several
meetings have been and are still being held
at two of the churches in the town.
a lodge of the Knights of i'ythias has been
organized at this place and is ut present in
ilourishlng condition. 1t now has member
ship of nearly fifty and two or three new
members are added at each weekly meeting.
The organization is at present engaged IN
preparations to celebrate the silver anniver-
sary of the society," which occurs Febru-
airy 10.

Fourth Round.

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. ls.-TSpecal Tele-
gram to THE BEr.I-Paddy Mcdonald, the
pride of the Zenith city, went down before
Patsy Cardiff, of Minneapolis, tonight in
the fourth round. In the first two rounds
the Duluth man fought gamely and often
landed on the big Flour city pugillst but in
the third Cardiff put in couple of singing
right handlers on McDonald's jaw, each of
which sent him to grass. He was barely
saved by the call of time. At the
opening of the fourth round Cardiff
went at his man hammer and tongs, rushing
him around the ring and into the ropes. just
as the watches licked out minute and half
the Minneapolis slugger feinted with his
left, and with a lightning upper cut with his
right caught the Duluthian in the jugglar,
which sent him down in heap, and he did
not recover for minute. Cardiff came out
without scratch. Mcdonald was badly
battered. Conley, the Ithaca giant, acted as

A JoKE ON MIR. ADAMS.
A Colored Crank claims to lie His
CrchiInr Enr $500. .OOO. 600.

BosToN, Mass, Jan, IS Special Tele-
gram to THE Bee. President Charles
Francis Adams, of the Union Pacific. is
the victim Of rather embarrassing joke.
In Putnam, Conn, there resides an aged and
half crazy darkey named Pete Anderson.
He is nearly century old and over seven
feet in stature, although bent with age.
His mania was that he was the guardian
OF an immense treasure Of gold, worth
over SlOO,O00,OJO. a few days since, while
home, he met with an accident, being
struck on the head with piece Of scantling
This changed the chain of his scattered ideas
and he imagined that he had been beaten by
robbers and his treasures stolen. He wor-
ried the Putnam police SO that one of them
gave him bogus check, saying, pay bearer
$500 00O 000," and signed it Charles Francis
Adams. Pete showed this around Putnam
in great glec, and started out to hunt up Mr..
Adams Hearing that he lived in Boston, he
started on foot and arrived here pennlcss
three days ago. He went to the negro
section in the west end, and,
showing hls check, was treated like prince.
Today he started oGt to find lawyer, and
by his advice visited William +. Macdonald,
the well known corporation lawyer, who, ap-
prcciating the joke and knowing Mr.. Adams
well, started for the Union Pacific offices
with his dusty crank in tow.
Being known to the clerks, Macdonald and
and his charge went into the presidents
room, where Mr.. Adams and John Quincy
Adams were in conversation Mr., Adams
was astonished, but Macdonald laugh
iugly told him that he had q creditor
of his. He then told Pete that
Mr.. Adams was present, and, rs he claimed to
know him, to pick him out. The durkcy went
up to John Quincy, and, taking hold of his
head, nearly twisted it off to get u look at it.
He shook his head, and, trotting over to
Charles Francis, before that dig uitied being
could interfere, took his head between his
hands and held il as in vice, stopped over
and pccring into his face, yelled out: "Dat's
de man; dats de man"
Letting 20 of the dismaved president, he
executed Il dance, and, pulling out his check,
demanded the money Oh the SPOT. Everyone
was laughing at the victim, when the latter
get his faculties back ana tried to argue, but
the darkey wouldn't listen aud demanded
his money. He raised terrible uprour
until Mr.. Adams, writing his name, showed
the crank that it wasn't the same writing,
aud denied that he was the right man This
settled the darlsey, who began to cry, saying
that if he didn't get the money the West End
darlIies would Kill him for a fraud The old
man was finally carried out of the office, and
tonight was hunting the streets for his lost
millions. Mr.. Adams says he wants to know
the Putnam policeman who forged his name
