thousands, of farmers will not get over a

be great deal of aid by banks and mer-
chants to enable the people to pull through.

recent term of Wayne County Court of the
murder of b. f. Nickel, has appealed to
the Supreme Court, which grants him
new trial at the January term of the Su-
perior Court. The appeal was taken by

objected to by the State because they had
not paid their taxes for the current fiscal
year.

pleased at the speedy completion OF tho
Cape Fear aud Yadkn-N Valley railroad. In
about two months Pullman cars Will beput
on from that city to Greensboro over this
direct line. The Cape Fear and Yadkin-
Valley is doing well, and its stockholders

The building of three links of railway Is
now awaited with much interest-One from
Fayetteville southwark 10y the Coast Line,
for its short line: another by the Seaboard
Line from Petersburg Va. to Ridgeway,
n. G.: and another from TarborO TO RAJ
leigh by the Norfolk and Carolina. The
big railway fight III North Carolina Is only
Just about to begin.
A Republican postal clerk between Mt.
Airy and Bennettsvillc has been discharged
for incompetency, and Mr.. Harry Smith, u
Democrat, of Fayetteville, succeeds him.
The letter of Hon. Jefferson DAVIS which
is TO be read at the Fayetteville centennial
celebration on the Dist instant is very
able document. Written on sick-bed and
with a pencil. there IL no tremor Of the
hand and no cloudincss of idea. II shows
what North Carolina has done for liberty
since she was the province Of Albemarle;
1t fills ten closely-written pages and Will
fill column in the Dispatch.
Mr.. Davis will soon publish an article on
Andersonville prison, which will be very
interesting, as is everything he writes.

ting the requisite number OF men who were

thought II the State wished TO be Represented
by her soldiery she should bear the expenses,
aud this is tee sentiment Of the entire mill

A negro named Josh Perkins was arrested
to-day on the charge OF chloroforming ana
attempting an assault on colored woman.
A white man whose name could not oe
learned was found dead on the hicland
railroad track, about one mile south OF

was so badly crushed he could not be identi-
fed by those who saw the body, and the
supposltion Is that the man was tramp IS
a gang OF some eight or ten passed through
the city the day before.
The reported letting TO contract OF asec-
ton Of the Virginia Western railroad IN

"This ere athletics and gymnasiums
is all wrong" said the old man, as he
laid down bis paper and began to shuck
three-ply peanut. "Pvs had sample
OF 1t IN my own family. and l know how
it works"
Don't you believe in such exercise
for young man ;"
"Wall, the exercise may be sill right,
but the fellers git false ideas in thar
heads. Take my son Cyrus. f'r instance.
Cy. WAS leetle inclined to consumption,
aud / rayther encouraged gymnastics.
IL wasn't three weeks afore he begun 10
git sassy. [ gave him a lickin' one day,
and could see that he didn't take 1t
kindly. He began to put on airs over
his mother, and when L sum 10 inquire
around leetle found that Cy. was on the
box. He was a-holdin' up his dukes and
knockin' the boys right and left. over
heard him talkin' to our Bill about po-
sition. guard, 'break away knock
out, and SIGH, and every day he got sas-
sier and sassier. He was eighteen years
old, but allus lick my boys till they
are past twenty. 1 saw that Cy. was
goin' to buck. Thar was Bill and Tom
and Jerry to be affected by his example,
and felt that sumthin' orter be done.
One day we was hoein' corn, and Cy. was
oil. l didn't mind it fur awhile, but
bine-by got riled and said:
"'Seems to me you ar achin' fur o
lickin'.'
"Mebbe | am, father, he replies, as
cool as ice, but l shant GIT it. I've been
licked fur the last time
cause why 2 asked.
Cause / won't allow it..
Then l knew that the time had come
when he'd got to have sumthin' stronger
than boss medicine. He'd got the big
head on him tremenjus, and it was then
or never.
"Suppose We walk over to the barn.
Cy?' 1 keerlessly remarked as | finished
row.
"He said he was my huckleberry, and
we dropped our hoes and went. When
we got inside we both begun to peel by
mutual consent, and Cy. carried "A grin
all over his face. He'd bin put on to
new upper cut two or three days before.
and he was calkelatin' on spiin' my
chawin' machine at the fust blow. He
looked the iim-dandy as he squared oil,
and | rayther anticipated the wust. /

squared off / was bound to down Cyrus.

10y, will We quit yer sass and
knuckle if | don't lick We 2
And he said Father, raise yer
dukes leetle higher and look ont fur
me
"With that he tapped me on the store

with the other and | sailed in. He gave
me one on the tooth-box as closed in,
but arter that the gate-money was mine.
/ throwed him into the manger, over
the fannin' mill, and behind the granary,
and j was goin' to run him through
the cornsheller, when he hollered
Enough and begged me TO let up on
him. It worked a mighty sudden cure
on him. Swellin' oil went out of his
head that night, and when | licked him
with a cornstalk next day he was as hum
bic as a calf. Gymnastics is all right NJ
to a certain pint, but when you git be.
yond it it's dangerous. S'posen hadn't

have bin blullin' me outer the house by
this time, and probably had match with
