The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-07-28
NOTES.

~ The mass-meeting Of the Alliance
at Townsville on August 18th.
X Col. Al. Fairbrother, of the Dur
ham Globe, called to apologize last
week. He rode his new hobby.
* The next session of Trinity Col
lege will begin at Durham, October LIST,
1891. This school needs no cOmmend4-
ton at our hands. q
~ The Graham School is one of the
best-equipped in our State. Both sexes
are offered an admirable chance to get
an education. See advertisement.
~ The EUening Mirror, by Messrs.
H. H. Roberts, G.. J. Belts and E. S..
Cheek, made its appearance on the
goth. 1t is newsy, neat and deserves
success.
~ Rates of board at Morehead City
will range from $1.OO to 81. so per day.
All Alliancemen and their families will
be received at these rates, whetherdele
gates or not.
Bro. f. S. Blair, of Hartford
county, Lecturer for the First district,
was in town last week. He reports
everything in good shape in that part
of the vineyard.
Our thanks are due the commit
tee. for an invitation to the Tobacco
Convention to be held at Morehead on
August 5th, 9th and 9TH. A large mum
Der will be present.
Mr.. J. T. Farris, of the High
Point Enterprise, and Miss Mildred w.
Stamey were married at that place
last Wednesday night. We wish the
young couple all the happiness possible.
~ Bro. J. G. Bellamy, of Whitakers,
n. c., writes that he is not the editor
of the new reform paTec there called
the Rather. Mr.. P. S. Fender is editor.
We will have to take that much Of it
back, but still we insist that it is a
good paper.
~ Bro. r. B. Hunter is hard at work
in the 9th District. He writes that he
is meeting with much encouragement.
The people of that great section are.
alive and ready to be up and doing.
No section of our State is more earnest
in reform matters.
X The New Berne Journal says:
1.-The silver question will not be made
a leading issue by either Of the great
parties" OF course the Journal is not
bossing the job, but that seems to be
the prevailing sentiment among the
bosses of both parties. That is all
right. The Ocala platform makes it
one Of the leading issues. So we com
mon people can have a picnic Of our
own any how.
~ Partisan papers complain be-
cause the President of the South Caro-
lima State Alliance has ruled that the
joint discussion between Tilman and
Terrell shall be behind closed doors.
When the Sub Treasury scheme was
then why not discuss it that way?
However, that is only one case. It
will be discussed publicly through the
papers or on the stump at any time.
* The Concord Standard says: THE
Wilson Mirror, by Henry Blount, will
say this week: That most elegant and
accomplished gentleman and genial
and magnificent companion and eff
cient and courteous bank book-keeper,
Mr.. Lester D. C~oltrane, of Concord,
infused radiant and felicitous sunlight
into Wilson's brightest social circles
last week." Yes, he will say that,
and like as not Mr.. Coltrane will also
spit tobacco juice into the eye-of a dog.
-EDITOR.
X A few days ago the Sheriff of
Wake county was reported behind in
his accounts. The State papers pub
lished it under fiaring headlines, "A
Republican Sheriff behind III his &C
counts" etc. A little later the Demo
cratic Sheriff Of Alexander county was
reported short. This was published in
out-of-the-way corners of the papers
