dangerous Counterfeit.

The secret service division of the
U. s.. Treasury Department has had
information of the existence of
most dangerous $40 counterfeit gold
certificate. 1t is a Photographic
counterfeit, check letter A. B. K.
Bruce, register, James Gilfillin,
treasurer. Act of July II, 1882; (de-
partment series,) A372945. Apart
from the counter containing the fig
ure 20 on the face and the portrait
of Garfield, there is little of the gray
of the photograph about it. The
seal is small and scolloped, having a
reddish tinge, apparently applied
with brush. The number is very
pronounced and heavier than the
genuine. The service of the note is
one-half inch shorter and one eighth
of an inch narrower than the genu-
inc. 1t has the two parallel silk
threads running through it. The
TINT on the back Of the note is light
brown, while the genuine note is
orange. This counterfeit is deter
mined by the character of its tints
rather than by the lines in the en-
craving. it is a photograph of genu-
inc work.

1t the New City Of North WIlkesboro,
on the Yadkin,
MAGNIFICENT HOTEL TO Be ERECTED.
The Style, Size and Location of the
Proposed Building-Other Notes
About the City.

NORTH WILKEsBORo, N. c., Nov. 20,
1891 From the eastern window OF
my room in the Hotel Gordon, which
building is built upon a high eleva-
tion, have a splendid view of this
pretty, picturesqe town. When the
sun rises above yonder tree-tops
seemingly under broad canopy of a
cloth of gold, flooding the rich valley
around with it's glorious radiance as
it pierces the silvery mist which slow
ly lights itself, and gently floats away
to the blue mountain peaks in the
west-and conjuring the clear, cold
waters of the serpentine Yadkin on
the right into brilliant sheen of
light, this realistic, living picture
seems like a scene of enchantment
from Arabian wonderland. The most
vivid fancy cannot portray it. One
must behold the real vision of beau
ty to enjoy and appreciate it.
just across the street to the left in
the center of KAnsington Park is a
beautifully rounded knoll which rises
gradually and gracefully to height
of one hundred feet above the level
of the town, and is known as Ken
sington Heights. The summit is Il
level plateau, and from this point {,
superb view of the surrounding coun-
try can be had. Here it is proposed
to build one of the finest hotels in the
South, approXimating in cash one
hundred thousand dollars. The style
of the building will be Italian-made
attractive by some French detail. 1t
will be three stories high, and hipped
shingle roof, long verandas and hang
ing balconies. 1t will have one hun
dred and thirty rooms, including
many fine apartments, and will be
furnished with every comfort chat
money will buy; and communica ton
with the whole world by teleg aph
and railroad, elegant drives through
shaded hooks, by beautiful water
falls and romantic cliffs, what more
could the heart desire? This magnfi-
cent hotel will be in the center of Ken
sington Park, near the railroad sta
ton, overlooking the city, and from
its balconies may be seen the Yadkin
river, winding through the valley for
miles, while from the tower a grand
panorama will unfold itself in the
stretch of hill and mountain in every
direction. Just over the hills to the
north and west rises the giant domes
of the Blue Ridge and Black noun
tains. The hotel standing above the
level of the valley the air will be free
and pure; the drainage will be per-
feet. At present the travelling public
find ample accommodation at the
Hotel Gordon, in charge of Mr. W.
F. Trogden and his lovely wife. Here
the table is unsurpassed; the rooms
are clean, comfortable and well VEN
tilated; the servants well trained
polite and attentive. believe every
visitor who come and go, leave this
pleasant retreat with the hope of
coming back again. ID.

The Fool FaSters.

There have been good many fool
fasters in the United States and else
where since DR.. Tanner set ont to
prove that the fasts of forty days
recorded in the Bible were not mir
aculous, and that any healthy per-
son with strong will could under
go forty days deprivation of food
and live. There was no good pur
pose to he served by Tanners expe-
riment, but he made 1t and survived,
and his success has brought to the
front multitude of starving cranks
who, for money or notoriety, have
tried to outstarve Tanner. Succi,
the Italian, beat Tanners starvation
record by four days, and the fasting
cranks who now starve in dime mu-
seums at good salaries find it neces-
sary to outdo Succi to be considered
of any Importance.

DEATH OF A REMARKABLE MAN
At One Time he Ran a Hotel at Mil

A Chicago exchange says Of for
mer resident of this State:
There quietly passed away at the
Old Mems Home yesterday, remark
able man. He was full cousin of
Jefferson Davis, late President of
the Southern Confederacy. What
will render his name perhaps more
prominent, he was a second to the
celebrated Colonel Bowie, whose
knife still bears his name, and at one
time possessed the knife so called,
and assisted in itspreparation. Ten
days ago Col. John R. Davis, of Mis-
sissippi, who had been a resident of
the Old Mems Home since a year
ago last April. received a stroke of
paralysis. This was followed in a
few days by another, and a third at
1:3O yesterday afternoon which prov
ed fatal.
The deceased was a cousin of the
celebra ted Jefferson Davis, and dur
ing the war was the colonel of Mis-
sissippi regiment known as the Tt
gers. Before the war he was a prom
nent citizen Of Vicksburg, where he
ran a boat and shipping supply es-
tablishment, with branch Offices at
New Orleans and Natchez. He was

History ofthe Chrysanthemum.

the primrose, and the Marguerite

France. Baroness. Jacqueminot, and
Perle des Jardin roses follow each
other rapidly in the affections of this
goddess. And so it comes about
that the chrysanthemum, certainly
one of the most deserving ofthem all
holds sway to-day, surrounded by
court whose numbers and loyalty are
equaled only by that of the rose. The
introduction of the chrysanthemum
to European gardens form quite a
tale. Though ancient dishes and

Hlired1oeituries ago in China and ia

recently. The late celebration of its
centenary in England brought out
some interesting facts.
A variety of the chrysanthemum
is said to grow wild on the island of
Silicly, where centuries ago it reciev-
ed its name at the hands of Il monk,
who called it st. Christopher rose.
1t was probably known in Holland
in the seventeenth century, but, for
some unexplained reason, seems to
have been loss, or dropped from cul-
tivation, for when, 100 years later,
the large towering variety was intro
duced from China it was hailed as a
novelty. From purple-the single
color not known-were developed
rose, buff and white varieties. The
French took it up, and in their favor
able climate were able to ripea seeds.

Golden Rules.

President Ingalls,, of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, in a re-
cent address to the railroad clerks of
Cincinnati, gave an Interesting de-
scription of the manner in which
he worked up from the time when
he began life on a railroad on the
rrincely salary of $3.50 per month.
Out of that insignificant sum, which
would not suffice to furnish many
modern clerks in liquor and cigars,
he saved money by the exercise of
economy, energy and ambition and
rose to the. presidency of one of the

A Lesson to Mecklenburg Farmers.

The experiment of the Mecklenburg
Alliance on the cotton market, as
producer and seller, was u disastrous
one. The Alliance last season con-
cluded that the cotton buyers of
Charlotte were not giving them
enough for their cotton, SO they es-
tablished an agency in Charlotte, ap-
pointed a buyer and tackled the mar
ket. On and off during the season
they got fractionally better prices
than the regular cotton men could
pay, but when it came to winding
up the seasons transactions, the
Mecklenburg Alliance found that its
experiment had. cost it $6,O00.-
