WYATT has the finest stand of oats we
have heard OF so far in the county, grown
on his Oakview farm, three miles east OF
Raleigh. The oats were sown only two

than three aud a half feet high, full
headed and rapidly maturing. Mr.
Wyatt has on the same farm cotton
twelve inches high on which squares are
forming. If Mr. WYatt's farm is an index
of the county generally, then our farmers
can indeed be congratulated.-RaIeiqh

H- The golden wedding of Mr. aud
Mrs Quickle, near Lincolnton, last week,
was an occasion OF unusual interest and
Joy. The children and grand children
were all there except three OF the latter.
There are only four living children and
twenty-five living grand children. The
dinner was, of course, golden one-such
ss aunt Ssllie knows how to prepare.
The children, too, did their part towards
supplying the table with gold cake.
Presents of gold were given and received,
several of which were heirlooms in the
family, having been given father Quickle
by bis father The day was spent in
social way, and in recounting reminis
cences in the lives of the long and hap
PLY welded pair. The last scene was
that of Mr. Quickle dressing himself in his
wedding suit, made Of fine broadcloth
and modelled after that day-a claw ham
mer of spike. tailed dress coat with golden
buttons as bright as if sewed on yester-
day, and the making of which cost SO
without counting cost of material. Mrs
Quickle, not anticipating such an extra
ordinary event and not given much to
display, bad not preserved her wedding
gown, and hence could not represent the
female costumes of that day. We know
the Quickle family to be one of the best
families in old Lincoln county, and we
most heartily wish for them, parents aud
children, that God may bless them with
grace and every blessing, and crown their
lives with glory and honor.--DalIas
