pss. Gen. John A. Young, Postmaster at
Charlotte, died at his residence in that city
last Sunday, aged 75 years, from apoPle1y.
We knew Gen. Young we'll for many
Years. lie was the Unolc Of Chief Justice
W. ID. Simpsons wife, and he always had
great love for the State of South Carolina.
From our personal knowledge Of Cen
Young VIC can fully corroborate what the
Charlotte Chronicle so well says Of him in
tho following extract:
In his earlier life General Young repre-
sented Iredell county in the State Legisla-
ture. He was a fue speaker, and at all
!oEiS!at{y !oEIifsatt{y in the private walks Of his life.
With pleasant smile and kind aud en-
couraging word for all, he could not foil to
havo friends by the score. That he was a
true and faithful christian will be testified
to by every one who knew him.
Soon after he came to Charlotte he was
elected deacon Of the First Presbyterian
church, and for nearly 35 years he has
been an elder in that church. His generous
disposition manifested itself on oil occa-
sions.
When he was no longer able to serve in
crate cause by clothing the North Carolins
troops with the products of his woolen mills
| AS long rs he had wealth at his command
it was at the disposal Of any one in need o.
assistance. When that wealth was swept
away, he did not murTur. lie proved th'
| gcuu,nencss of his Christianity by hi!
childlike faith in God, and by the cheerful
and unfaltering manner in which he bowet
| to the Divine will.
His most intimate friend never heard hin
utter an uhSinu worn ABOUT my isS2 eessS" ,nt at
| wrongcd him. lie was so upright, hoaora
| Die and honest, that, in others he saw onl,
the reflex image Of himself He nos sessec
such large share of true Christian cha rit,
that he was 10th to believe in the per6dy O.
others. Kind, genial, gentle and affection
ate. the character Of John A. Young wa.
over guiding star to those who came in
col intact with him.

Augusta Division is to be revised at once,
and contracts for building the same will be
Ie, As soon as practicable thereafter. The
officials are fully aware, as we stated before
that this division is absolutely necessary TO
the maintenanccs and prosperity OF the
main line: besides they have already spent
inward Of SOC, 900 dollars upon it. These
facts guarantee within themselves the build
inc of this branch, and oil doubts which
have beretefore been entertained to the con-
trary must now be removed, for the au'hor'-
ties mean business, and are pushing every
thing as rapidly as possible

The Baptist Sunday School Convention OF
York county was he'd at this place last week.
The convention opeaed on Friday morning
which was spent in organizing and discus
| sions pertaining to church and Sunday
School work. The following evening at 8
o'clock the introductory sermon was preach-
eli by Rev. F. C. Hickson, OF Hickory Grove.
On Saturday evening the saloon question
| was discussed AS first speaker on this
subject Rev. J. A. White, NJ oderator, intro
| duced Hon. B. J. Gold, who briefly but for
cibly argued that whiskey saloons should
be abolished Mr.. Gold was followed by
Rev. r. G. Patrick, of Yorkvile, whose ar-
i .n,an, r-~------.~..-- -ad osnecially fine ~
all who heard it. He contended that prohi-
tion does prohibit, notwithstanding the gem
eral opinion to the contrary, and presented
some of the most convincing proofs. The
Moderator then introduced as next speaker
Rev. +. c. dickson, who having opened his
discussion by few humorous remarks, Gre
ated special interest and held the audience
spell bound by an unus ,lly able argument.
He maintained that the free traffic of liquor
would be the most effective means by which
to rid our country Of its greatest curse. AS
an illustration he contcnded that the crime
and bloodshed committed at every cross
| road and at our doors would create such q
L
mously in rebellion against grog-shops, and
say to the barkecper, "iown with your sa-
looms, we will not tolerate them y
These discussions upon the liquor ques-
ton were the ablcst we have ever hoard,
and all who failed to hear them missed o
treat.
Sunday morning having smiled propi-
tious, the church was crowded many failing
to secure seats. Rev. II. G. Patrick filled
the pulpit anl delivered an eloquent dis
course. Exercises closed Sunday evening
with sermon by the att er.
No little interest was manifested in this
q convention by all denominations, and we
hope much good will be derived from it,

in the county Jail on Thursday morning
charged with forging the name of Mr.. We'll
Ter, of that place, as security on a note for
thirteen dollars in payment for silver
watch at Munsons jewelry store. Marge-
rum says that MuusOu offered to let him
have the watch on weekly instalments few
days ago, and on Tuesday morning he
(Margerum) went into the store drunk and
recoleots that he asked about the matter,
and that Munson told him that he might
have the watch at once if he would get some
one to sign a note with him. lie gave the
name of business man and remembers OF
going out and coming back again to get the
watch. lie says that he forged it while

he would be able to pay it before it would
be detected His chances are decidedly

The following table complied by DR.. j. o.
Harris will prove of interest to those who
care to know anything abou, the climate
here and should be preserved for future
reference.
Normals' are general averages for long
periods of time and are supposed TO show
the normal or natural temperature, rainfall,
etc, of the locality where the observations
we're taken. The table below embraces a
period of 10 years or nearly twenty thous-
aud observations for temperature and snow
fall, and II years for rainfall.
Note the marked similarity Of April and
October, the facts that there is more rain in
May and more snow in February than in
any other months Other facts of interest
will be discovered by those who mag study
the table.
The column headed rainfall should in
clude melted snow and does for the greater
number of years. 1t is probable, however,
that this was neglected in some instances,
and, therefore, our normal rainfall should be
about "a inches.
Assuming this to be correct. our rainfall
for 1887 vas ). "a inches and for 1883, 8. Is
inches below the normal So also the nor
nal rainfall for the four months last past,
was a inches while the actual precipita'
ton was but 72S inches.

Remarkable Sale of General Merchan-
disc.
The Spring Sale of dry goods and g'ner
al merchandise at II. J. GILLEN's during the
past week has been one Of the most success
full sales the house has ever inaugurated.
Covering not only the regular line, but also
the special line of dress goods noted las'
week, the business OF the house has
been such as to warrant the statement that
continuance of the same success will
more than double any previous seasons bus

improvements.

Among the many substantial and beautiful
buildings being erected this spring in Otta-
wa there is one that catches everybody 8
eye, and causes much conjecture as to APP
pearance when completed, and that is the
Globe building on Court Street. The con-
tractors, Messrs. O'Neil & Pool, started out
to show Ottawa a unique and firm structure,
34x8O, stories high whose walls north
aud rear should be of tile and so neatly has
everything come together that the bystander
thinks every piece was made for its place
and every piece in its place,
Mr.. Youmaus is the architect and he has
planned a model building, and the contract
ors follow him and are making it model of
good workmanship. We can only speak of
it as 1t is, and so, for it is excellent. When
done it will be an ornam ent--a credit to the
CT and to the architect, Mr.. Youmaus, and
the contractors and builders, Messrs. O'Neil
& Pool BEEMUs.
