FROM LIITLETON.

There was quite a stir in the social cir
Gle of Littleton last week. The first i'm
pOrtapt event was the marriage of Mr..
Hunter Stegal to Miss Mary House, on
the l4th inst. There was quite an en- oy-
able reception given to few friends at
the residence of the brides parents on the
the previous evening. The marriage was
solemnized at the Nj. E. Church, which
had been very beautifully decorated for
the occasion. Rev. l.. j. Holding officia-
ting. Immediately after the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Stegal left on the north
bound train tor an extended tour throu- h
the northern cities by Niagara and thence
to the Sunny South" where they viii
spend the winter.
On last Thursday evening the young
mems democratic club gave a grand ban
quet and hor, complimentary to the Sen
ators ami Representatives OF Halifax and
Warren. There were two hundred guests
present.
AS O'Clock they were invited to the
banquet hall where our eloquent young
mayor in a short speech welcomed them
in the name of the club. Hon. w. ". Leng
presided at the table With as much dlgnl-
~ as if he were speaker OF the House. a f.
ter few minutes time In enjoying the
gOOQ Things prepared TO satlSl5 Tue apes
tlte, the guests were treated to create
feast prepared for the mind by that man
to whose eloquence, energy and Judgment
the democratic party is SO much indebted
for the grand victory we celebrate, Hon
Walter R. Henry, OF Henderson. He
was at his best and we all know that
Henry's best is good enough. Mr.. Shaw
of Henderson, was kind enough to give
US short speech which was very taking,
combining most happily humor with
sound sense and making no doubt some
times if he were not regular dutchmaa .,
by his good personation, but every Ole
voted Capt. Shaw rival Of Depew as an
after dinner speaker.
After all had partaken to satisfaction

NORTH CAROLINA AND
THE CABINET.

There ia some interest and much
discussion just now as to whether
or not North Carolina will be hon
cred with a Cabinet appointment.
Many names are being mentioned
for certain place., all of whom, no
doubt, are we'll qualified for the
positions named; but North Carolina
can't get all and we woald just as
we'll act accordingly. Following
are the opinions Of three of the wise
editors in the State on the subject I:
eff North Carollnians were to pool
their issues and present a single
name to the President, the State
might obtain an appointment to
some very distinguished office, but
with half a dozen names suggested
we will make less Impression than
those States that throw all their
combined force In favor of single
object.-Nevs and Observer.
"The democratic congressman
from Illinois have held a conference
with the view of furthering the
interest of Hon. William r. Nor
rlson in the direction of Cabinet
position. Our Western and North
ern democratic friends know the
effect of concentrating their lnflu-
ence, and they can teach Southern
democrats an important lesson on
the subject. From present appear
ances in this State MT. Cleveland
can make up his whole cabinet
without going outside of North
Carolina. Get together, gentlemen,
agree upon one man and we eau
win cabinet position for the Old
North State. State Chronicle"
cit is worse than idle to present
half dozen gentlemen from this
State for cabinet positions, and
seeing the utter futility OF the
movement in it's present shape the
Observer has not discussed it
With every congressional district
presenting candidate for cabinet
appointment there is not the slight
est likelihood that any of them vii
ne considered for one Moment

We Take Holiday.

THE DEMOCRAT will take holiday
next week. For long year editor
and printers have worked day ID and
day out to send our readers the newe.
1t has sometimes been at the cOst Of
wearisome toll aud sickehIDg fatigue
that the paper has reached Its readers
on time. But if this we only know
Others do not care.
We take the accustomed Christmas
holidays to let our printers breathe
a little and to give time for squaring
accounts and the like.
The DEMOCRAT believes its read
ers will gladly grant us week OF
rest, and with this confidence we
take it.

Christmas Greeting.

Chrlstmas-tide again draws near.
The DEMOCRAT carries to its readers
. Christmas.. greeting, and Wishes
them every one happy Christmas
and glad new year to follow.
It lsa season that brings joys and
pleasures to many which nothing,
save the smltings OF Omnipotence,
can suppress. In the lordly mansions
OF the great and in the tessellated pal
aces of the rich there is tide OF
festive life that no other season
makes so replete with perfect JOY as
tho season when "Christmas gifts"
are counted and the box with pleas
ant surprise is opened. So, too, in
tne hots of lonely poverty, the peas
nut in the stocking that bangs ny
the chimney corner, or the little toy
wagon with pine BARK wheels, which
10 the best a kind father can give,
are a source Of as really genuine
pleasure as are the costly gifts w;th>
in the halls OF pride and luxury.
For oil who are not Suffering un>
der the burden OF some peculiar az
fiction from God, there is exuber~
ance of spirits AID a season Of glad
some rejoicing "that makes the whole
world kim"
it is now that many a hard-worked
youth at school takes vacation to
90 home to see mother and the other
folks. 1t Is now that many SOD In
business or professional life lag
aside the cares Of business for day
or q weak and takes a trip to see
father and mother, who still linger
at the old home, or who are comfort
ably quartered At the nome OF a
younger or older brother or sister.
1t is now that friends lay aside the
attention OF other things and meet
in sweet and pleasant converse Of
by-gone days and times Of sscred
memory. 1t is DOW that thousa dds
Of pleasant and cheerful greetings
are cent from one end OF the land
to the other by word or script or
electric flash. 1t ls now that all
civilization bows down .ogether to
pay vows to the great God of Infn-
tie mercy for the priceless gift Of a
loving Saviour, whose birth We cele-
brate in gift and in rest and in song.
Let US remember the sufferiDg
and the poor and let US make glad
the hearts OF some who, without our
consideration. would go uncared for
and unblessed.
A thrice happy Christmas to all.

REVIEWS.

The GREEN BAG for November

this delay IN the review. Judge

liam H. Battle, Richard M. Pearson,

The sketches are vel! written,
and Jude Clark has placed all
North Carolina under obligations to
him for thus bringing tefore the
people many OF the good qualities
OF some of North Cardinals best
and ablest men. The sketch of
Judge CASTOR is especially interest
Ing and no student of the history
of North Cardinals great men can
afford to be without these articles.

great prosperity after their arrival.
Much of our boyhood life was spent
around Cokesbury. Some of our
most profitable and pleasant school
boy days were spent there; and We
doubt not that as a tangIe>haired
school boy We have sat beside some
of those very persons and stood be-
side them in the long line that
stood up to ''spell by heart" just
before school ''dIsmissed' in the
late afternoon. And we are quite
sure that como of those very per-
sons as school boys OF school girls
engaged with US III the contest of
''spelllng by heart in the old "blue

not a matter of how much we could
learn about spelling, but question
as to who should quit "head' OF

For many Of US life has present
ed quite divergent paths, but we
feel great interest in the friends
and companions of our poyhood and
youth, and hope that though they
may not find Texas land FLOWING

find ia it shelter for the weary
for such they will doubtless be ere
they pitch their tent in the Lone

JUST AHEAD.

The goal of prosperity for the
farmers Of North Carolina is just
ahead of them. Their feet are even
now pressing On the threshold and
il they will act wisely they may
pass over and their prosperity and
independence will be once mole
assured.
we make this declaration not
without deliberatIon. Recently we
have had an opportunity to learn
something Of the condition of the
people in almost every section Of
the state; and from whatever sec
ton We have heard the statement
is made that there is more meat
and corn and other homo supplies
in the country than for many years
/ his being the case the farmers
can live another year and make
another crop without having to 60
in debt so much; and if they will
only plant and raise their home
supplies one year ahead all the
tine as they have done this year
theg will just as certainly sail INTO
the port of prosperity as effect
follows cause by the rules OF logic
that can not be question.
Suppose the farmers OF the cOun-
try had has full cribs and barns
and smoke houses every year for
the past ten, what difference there
would be to day
1t is true tnat IN many cases the
farmers have gone in debt, and
while their will Is good to raise
home supplies first they feel like
they are compelled to raise money
crop every year to pay of their
mortgages and notes.
There is, to be sure, some Difficult.
ty in such cases; but il they can
manage TO cut loose from the sys.
tenn OF raising all money crop and
buying supplies, they will soon find
that their condition is greatly
improved.
OF course each one must manage
his own matters according to the
circumstances Of his own case. No
iron rule will suffice to meet the
difficulty; for what would meet the
demands In one mans case would
fail with another.
But this general rule will Insure
prosperity, and only this: Let
there De enough of home supplies
raised In every county to supply
that county.
A little advance in the price of
cotton or a decline IN the price Of
peanuts should not deter formers
IRON following the dictates of CON.
mon sense. Their prosperity and
independence are assured if thew
do these things.

THE RED STAMP.

On the 4th of last February we
cut down our list to cash subscribers
Perhaps we could not have taken
more unfavorable year to commence
the cash.in-advance system; for
there has been less money IN circus
latlon here this year than we have
seen in many. But with all the
hard times and scarcity Of money
we like the spot cash system, and
every one of orr readers VINO has
expressed preference has favored
the system heartily.
Our list has been revised every
weeE and as subscriptions have ex-
pred the names have been dropped
unless promptly renewed. We have
pot continued any ones name with
out credit on our books ahead,
neither fer friendship nor kinshlp
nor for any other consideration.
When we began this strictly cash
business We promised TO adhere to
it rigidly, and we have done it as
every one knows who has let his
subscription expire without prompt
renewal. 1t has been a matter of
business simply and we think all
have understood it. After years
test of the system we like 1t so well
that we propose never again to run
a newspaper on the credit system
If we shoald manage one for fifty
years to come.
We have notified subscribers OF
the expiration two weeks ahead
by stamping the margin of their
paper with led stamp and if they
did not renew within the two weeks
following we have promptly erased
their names, at t. same time no.
tlfying them by another stamp
that the paper stopped with that
issue.
A number of our subscribers
Will find their papers stamped this
week, notifying them that Their
subscriptions will expire In two
weeks. We hope they will all re-
new promptly. for we do not Wish
to lose any of them. This has beer
an unusually bard year financially
the hardest III many respects thai
many of us have ever seen; anC
TIE DEMOCRAT has shared th,
hard times in common with al
Others. If the paper has beer
worth the subscription price Thu
year we hope our readers will renew
promptly and let us start with th'
new year with some degree Of en-
enlargement. As matter OF bust
ness the paper will he discontinue,
to AL who do not renew promptly
