Misses Butner, Peterson.and Blanche
Thomas. No words Of praise could
accord justice to this beautiful Sc
lection and the triple and quadru-
pie encores that followed could only
express in feeble way the appreci-
alton of delighted audience
Miss Sadie Sittig, of Texas, next
entertained the audience with
charming essay on ''Much Said, Lit

her injunction that "Those people
do most who talk least" The SUBJ
Ject There's Danger in Delay' was
treated by Miss Agnes Coleman, of
South Carolina, followed by another
entertaining essay on ''The First

The piano solo, Polacca Bril-

Gracieuse, Valse, by Misses E. Kapp
and II. Read, and the programme of
the evening was finished. Professor
Clewel thanked the audience for their
kind attention and appreciation of
these efforts on the part of the young
ladles,o the '91 class, and invited all
of those who had been aiding in the
success of the commencement, to
whom cards had been distributed, to
the dining room where repast
awaited, and thus closed the chapel
exercises of the "Senior's First Even
ing"
The young ladies all acquitted
themselves admirably and word of
praise to one is justly attributable to
another. A remarkable feature,
worthy perhaps of special mention,
was the familiarity the young ladies
showed themselves to have nth their
essays, and above all the originality
| which characterized them, and tho
! mental ability which was discerna-
BILE in their composition.
THE BANQUET.
After the chapel exercises there
were gathered in the spacious dining
hall of the College several ladies and
| gentlemen, who had been aiding in
| the commencement, at sumpteous
1epast given by Prof. Clewell in
honor of the young ladies of the
graduating class.
1t was delightful and enjoyable
affair.

chestra, the Railroads, Vocal Aid
and Ushers were responded to res
pectively by Capt. Goslin, Mr.. Arms
dale, Mr.. Buford, Mr.. Evart and Rev
DR.. Rice, of New York.

Shoots His Ten-year Old Sister.

News reaches here of terrible
affair which occurred a day or two
since at Lower Fork, in Burke
county. Julius York, the twelve
year-old son of James York, shot
and killed his ten-year- old sister,
Easter York. with a shotgun, the
whole load entering her forehead
just above the right eye, from which
wound large amount of her brains
came out. The boy has confessed to
the killing, and says he just did it to
scare her, and did not know there
was any cap on the gun, but from all
the evidence that can be gathered it
seems that they were in a fight while
their parents were out at work near
the house.

Part of a Bridge Washed Away,

The recent heavy rains swollen
the Yadkin River to such an extent
that large amount of rubbish that
was floating down the stream lodged
against the railroad bridge Thurs
day afternoon which resulted in the
washing away of one span of the
railroad bridge, which was built of
wood and only erected for temporary
use until an iron structure could be
put up. a number of workmen
were kept at the bridge Thursday
trying to save it but to no avail.

What DIR. Reid Says of His Visit.

Rev. F. L. Reid, D. D., of the
Raleigh Christian Advocate, who
spent a few days in this city the past
week, the guest of Rev. and Mrs. w.
c. Norman, has this to say of his
visit:
winston has solid prosperity and
rapid growth. We know OF no place
that has a better present growth or
a finer future prospect than Winston.
Every day almost marks one of its
strides forward. We cannot partic-
ularize here, but it has everything to
insure its prosperity. Rev. W. c..
Norman is closing his fourth year in
his charge and his people are dread
ing his departure from them. There,
as elswhere, he has made a grand
success. Rev. Ira. Erwin is greatly
beloved by his people. Rev. P. j.
Carraway is comfortably housed
there and is the same genial, sunny
faced man he has always been"

Our Convenicnces.

When people get accustomed to
them. They are considered as mat
ter of course. For instance, let our
electric lights be shut off for three
or four dark nights, or the street
cars stop running for q week, or the
man at the Central office refuse to
respond to telephone calls for day,
and you would hear lots of well
grounded complaints. The electric
lights, street cars and telephones are
great conveniences and would be
badly missed now, since our people
have become accustomed to them.

YOU AND L.

YOU ANDI.
Between our lives a river flows,
And with each league it wider grows,
Until into the deep blue sea
1t blends for all eternity.
Between our hearts fate's barrier
stands,
Enthralling as with iron hands
Nemesis alone can hear their cries,
Whose wave re-echo in the skies.
Between our souls no blemish dare
Obtrude its shadow of despair;
For, like the river and the sea,
They blend for all eternity.

IOWA

The Iowa State Democratic Conven-
tion, which met at Ottumwa last week,
nominated Governor Boies for the Office
which he now holds. The platform favors
the Australian ballot system. tariff for
revenue only, State and national super
vision Of railroads and liberal pensions
for disabled ex. Union soldiers.
Upon the silver question there was
some dispute in committee. but the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
"We demand the free coinage Of silver
and thst il be made 9 legal tender for eli
debts. public and private. and dsnounes
as unjust and dishonest the provision oil
the Act Of July. 1890. allowing parties &c
stipulass against payment in silver and
silver certificates, thus setting one stan
dard Of value for the creditor and one
for the debtor, one for the poor man and
one for the rich man."
There 10 no ~missaking the meaning Of
that plank. because. unlike the plAtitudei
Of Republican conventions on the silver
question, IL is not designed for deceptive
purposes. Iowa is an agricultural State,
yet its Democratic farmers are more en-
phatic for their demand for the remone-
tization Of silver than the bosses who
manipulate Republican conventions in
ths silver-producing States. A Nsvads
Republican State Convention would moi
endorse such . plain, strong and une-
quivocal silver resolution as that adopted
by the Iowa Democrats, because ID would
displease Harrison and the other big gold
bugs Of the party, and the bosses who
run the machinery Of these conventions
never do anything. not even to benefit
the State, that would be displeasing &c

also show the beauty Of his thoughts and
words:
elf there be q God, let US be-
lieve that he is good; and il he is good
the good have nothing TO fear. i have
been told that your son was kind and
generous; that he was filed with charity
and sympathy. Now we know in this
world that like begets like, kindness pro-
duces kindness, and all good bears the
fruit Of joy; belief is nothing-deeds are
everything; and if your son was kind,
he will naturally find kindness wherever
he may be. You would not infiict end
less pain upon your worst enemy. Is God
worse than you? You could not bear to
see . viper suffer forever. Is il possible
that God will doom 3 kind and generous
boy to everlasting pain Nothing can
be more monstrously absurd and cruel.
The truth is that no human being knows
anything Of what is beyond the grave.

God, your boy is no more in his power

While alive they say God loves us.
True love never changes. / beg Of you

THE MlNIEG INDUSTRY.

e The Salt Lake Exchange Journal says:
We belive the day is upon us when the
mining industry Of the West will take a
strong hold upon the nation, and, that
more than ever the people of the United
States will realize the importance Of our
mines and Of the product Of our mountain
regions. We believe the p~ermanence and
wealth Of our mines will be as firmly ss-
tablished as are the snow-olad peaks from

tracted that goes to increase the volume
Of currency, which branches out and up.
holds trade and commerce in every sec
tion of this broad and glorious land; and
that permanence and Interchangeable values
will be brought about by the early re-
monetization Of silver.
The free coinage of silver is almost as
sured. We feel ii in the air; we see it in
mems faces. The idea has taken root in
the East; moneyed men and capitalists
are troubled and sore, and from European
countues comes the glad tidings that the
people there are "almost persuaded
that monometalism will eventually lead
to bankruptcy and financial distress, and
that the only relief is to return to bimet'
slism and the restoration to the minti
Of the money of the masses.
The sympathy Of public feeling has it,
effect on silver. as q commodity, and itI
advance in price is one Of the straws thai
leads us to believe that the time is now
ripe for the investment Of capital in west
ern mines and 6rst-class prospects.
Not for twenty years has there beer
such = great and growing interest in min
ing matters as is being experienced in the
United States to-day, and the people are
awakening to the fact that mining, prop
erly managed. is as legitimate and fal
more remunerative than almost any Other
