Stick to Home Enterprises.

If you want home enterprises to
thrive you should give them your
support. 1t is not fair nor right to
send orders elsewhere for goods that
can be bought at home equally as
cheap and equally as good, if not
better than you could buy elsewhere
for the same money. If a man comes
here and wants to get your order for
a suit of clothes, tell him that the
people of this town have no money
to waste on enterprises away from
here-tell him we have tailors with
a complete stock of the finest fabrics
worn and that they can cut and fit
as well as any tailors in the United
States and when you tell him this
you tell the truth. Stick to home
enterprises is the proper way to; do,
by this means you keep your money
at home with fair chance of getting
some of it back again.

his anxious watchers they realized he
was nearing the end, which came at
9 O'Clock.
Mr.. Brooks when quite a boy
served as collection clerk for the
First National Bank. He was after
wards employed as teller in the Wa
chovia Bank, which position he was
holding at the time of his death and
had held for the past ten years. His
strict probity of character and high
business integrity had won for him
an enyiable place in the estimation
of all who knew him and especially
those who were associated with him
in his every day life.
When the winter of old age comes

Is This the Reason

Some of our good old Moravian
brethren in Salem are curious to
know where number of our young
men worship during the summer, or
from June TO September. They say
that they miss them from their &C.
custom seats in the Moravian church
from and between the above months.
They do not seem to think that the
school girls in the gallery have any
thing to do with it, but are rather of
the opinion that the young men are
from the country and spend the win
ters in town.

Bridge Disaster.

The last OF the debris at the great
Bostian Bridge wreck on the W. n.
C.. II. r. has been cleared, the con-
victs have gone back, the magnates
returned, and business in Statesville
entirely resumed. The dead have been
buried, the wounded are recovering,
the excitement abated and the world
moves on as if the tragic occurrence
had never have happened Soon the
event which east IL gloom over the
State and q feeling of horror over the
Union, will be page in the dustfiles
of history, verdant only in the men,
ory Of the bereaved and the wounded.
Aspecialfr from Statesville Tuesday,,af
ternoon states that the wounded are
certain that ali of them, including
Mr.. Sink, of Lexington, will recover.
The coroner's jury have completed
the inquest and rendered a verdict.
The verdict is as follows: "The jury
finds from the evidence, and our own
personal examination that the above
named, (naming the killed. persons
came to their death by the wrecking
of the train on the Western North
Carolina Railway bridge over Third
creek in Iredell county, n. c., on
Thursday morning. Aug, 27, 1891.
The said wrecking of the train being
caused by a loose rail, the bolts and
spikes of the same having been taken
out by some person or persons I'M
known to the jury, with tools or i'm
plements belonging to the said rail
way company, which said tools or
implements were by gross negligence
on the part of the said railway com
pany, left in an open shed, accessible
to every passer by.
"We also find that several of the
cross-ties at and near the break. in
said railway track where the said
loose rail was displaced was unsound
and should have been replaced, and
that the super-structure on the
bridge was in part detective and I'M
safe.
Further, that the high rate of
speed maintained in running trains
over this bridge deserves and has the
censure and condemnation of this
jury. p. C. Carlton, foreman; Geo.

BradfeId Will Now Sue Brewer.

Joseph Bradfeld has just returned
from Dobson, Surry county, where
he went as defendent in a prosecu-
ton for libel at the instance of ex-
Congressman John M. Brewer. The
case was mol pressed. Mr.. Bradfield

$40, 1000 damages for malicious prose-

buncombe; and that he will be able
to recover punitive damages.

blind Tigers" in the Georgia Legisla-
ture.

In the Capitol at Atlanta members
of the Legislature, which is officially
intensely Prohibitionist, have been
running private bar in one of the
committee rooms. Prohibition laws
passed in such conditions can surely
not be successful, for the Legislature
may fairly be held representative of
the people, and the raid on the Capt.
tol shows either that hypocrites
abound in Georgia or that a vigor-
GUS minority is heartily opposed to
prohibition. In either case "a blind
tiger" in the Capitol means ssblind
tigers in every village. and, in
Maine, the last state win be worse
than the first.

The grant abutment on the south
side of Wachovia Brook will be COM

it is q twelve thousand dollar iron
bridge will be placed in position to
span the stream. The street car
track has already been laid beyond
the Brook to Sunny Side and around
to the Park on the Winston Salem
Development Co.'S property. So we
may expect that just as soon as the
bridge is completed and the missing
link in the car line is supplied that
cars win be placed beyond the bridge
on the new lines. This will be an
other great advantage to our twin
towns, opening up additional prop
erty for residence and over nearly
