ed with the courteous attention of
his hearers.

The Wilkesboro Manufacturing

cry, or the most of it, in operation.
AT last payday large number
OF the darkies working on the rail-
road in the county left for their
homes. Most of them were South
Carolina darkies, and they said it
was getting too cold for them.

us that he is kept busy starting up
whisky distilleries in the county. He
thinks that there. are no less than
fifty that will be in operation as soon
as he can start them.

JUDICIOUS ADVERTISING

that it is not thrown away after

before being tossed aside. This is
