How some Men Propose.

hard time to get my wife to accept
me. ! had been in love with her for
years. ! had proposed to her seven
times and she refused me every time.
Finally I went to her in despair and
said: Well, Mollie, I've asked you
to marry mo seven times. and you
have declined my name. I'm going
to ask you once more, and ifyou don't
marry me I shall go out West and
stay there

White Gaps in Cleveland.

SHELLEY, N. c., Oct. %, 1891. A
party of six White Caps went one
night last week to the house of Leoni-
das Turner and aroused him at mid
night by knocking at his door, says
the Shelby Aurora. He says they
we're armed and claimed to be friends.
AS he refused to open the door, they
thrice warned him to "depart before
October 23d, 1891, anb not appear
against Ware at court" Turner had
reported Ware for illicit sales of
whisky and certain parties tried to
intimidate and frighten him away
before court convened. After thrice
trying to buldoze or intimidate this
witness, Tnrner fired in the air his
pistol once s'as an Alliance signal, >
when the White Caps, friends of dis
tillers, fred several shots. Severa
persons heard the firing that night

THE PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT.
Touching the presidential out
look, Colonel Mcclure said no one
could make any reasonable forecast
until after the November election.
If Russell should be elected in Mas.
sachusetts, and that is possible, il
would show that five out of the six
New England States would 60 for
Cleveland. If on the other hand
Boies should be reelected in Iowa,
which is more than possible, it
would indicate that the western
States may be held next year
against the Republican party by the
Alliance element, and that may de-
eide the action of the National
Democratic convention. IF Russell
should be elected and Boies beaten
the chances Of Cleveland for the
nomination would be greatly en-
hanced. IF the reverse should even
tuate his chances would be diminish
ed. If both should be elected the
Democrats would be able to elect
any one they might put up. In the
entire South the Democrats are
largely in sympathy with the ALI
ance measures, he remarked, and
: they would have great influence in
: leaning the candidate to that politi.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Important Meeting of the North Caro-
lima Board Of Managers.

lima Board Of Managers.
Yesterday morning the board of
managers of the Worlds Fair, for
this State, met in the executive
office, Governor Holt and all the
members of the board of agricul-
ture being prerent. The meeting
had been called by President
Elias Carr Of the board. Commits
sioners A. B. Andrews and T. B.
Keogh were not present. There
were much discussion and it was
decided that North Carolina must
be represented at Chicago in 1898.
It was decided to raise $4,000
and to have this in hand by De
cember when the board again meets
at the same time as the meeting of
the board of agriculture. Governor
Holt, Mr.. Elias Carr and Mrs.
Charles Price were appointed a
committee to prepare an address to
the people OF the State, setting forth
clearly the extreme Importance of
q complete exposition of the States
resources. This committee was
also authorized to appoint commit
tees in each Congressional district,
these committees to solicit funds.
The Governor, Mr.. Carr and DR..
w. r. Capehart, each offered to be
one of 100 to give 500. This is
the way to start the move, and it is
hoped and believed that the people
who want to see North Carolina gc
to the front will follow the lead o1
these public-spirited and patriotic
citizens who so we'll know what thu
State needs.
The board examined some plan!
for State building which wer'
presented, as a gift, by Epps am

their entire trip. Their travel
southwark was largely through the |
mountains Of Virginia ind North
Carolina, and as the weather was
beautiful the ladies had full oppor-

were made going South at Luray,
Buena Vista, Lexington, Natural
Bridge and Asheville. Colonel

Buena Vista in order especially that
the Philadelphia ladies might see

which he declared sought to make
Valentines name immortal"

Pennsylvania Col. Mcclure said
that the Democrats, he was conf

DEAR, DEAD DAYS.

Dear days gone by, your memory
Will haunt my soul forevermOre.
Like some dear. half-forgotten dream
Whose vanished sweetness we deplore.
How dim and shadowy do you seem.
o, days too beautiful to last!
And in my heart there is the cry,
Return. return, o, vanished past!"
Bring back the days little priced,
All, but to have one hour again
OF that dear time I'd give the world.
Bring what it might of JOY or pain,
No days to come can be as sweet;
And, gazing back with tear.dimmed eye.
My prayer is evermore the same
Iwould redeem the days gone by.
o. days gone by. have you no voice?
Where is that land to which you fed2
Have you each borne your record hence
To 60 tho way of all earth's dead?
Then, like her dead. you'll rise again;
But will your record bring the praise
"Well done?" o, listen to my prayer
Condemn me net, o. dear. dead days!
Florence A. Jones,
