LOCAL BRIEFS.

is confined to his home in LaGrange,
seriously i'll. We all hope that ne
may soon be himself again.
THAT nomination of Mr.. A. L.
UzzalI for Sheriff should set Demo
Gratis to thinking. It carries them
back to the days and the times of
'6S, which Democrats should never
forget in this section.
THE well-known and widely popu
lar grocery establishment of Messrs.
Bizzell Bros. & Co., of this city, are
adding several new features to their
extensive business, one of which will
be city delivery wagon, which they
will place upon our streets for the
convenience of customers within the
next few days.
IF the anonymous author of the
"poem' beginning with
winter has fingered in the lap of Suring,
Too long for beans and everything
will send his Cor her?) address, we
shall be glad to return the manu-
script. There are indignities that
waste -basket-eyen our waste-basket
ought not to suffer.
A PRoTRACTED meeting was COM
menced in st. Paul's M. E. Church
Sunday, under the conduct of the
pastor Rev. B. E. Hall, which is
growing daily in interest as the
week wears on. Services are held
daily, morning and evening. The
public are cordially invited to attend
all services. The meeting will be
continued through the week, and
other ministers are expected, from
time to time, to assist.
The ARGUS admires a man of
nerve, though he be a writer of
"spring poetry" and therefore we
could not resist "J. M. HIS" con-
tribution, with his explanatory pre-
amble, even if the merit of his verses
did not entitle them to publication
and we are sure the pithy wit of
his effusion will be enjoyed by all
our local readers.
The city is to again have the
weather signals, and to this end a
far-reaching flag pole was yesterday
raised at the city headquarters, on
Walnut street. 1t was crowd
drawing event during all the day, for
the job of raising the pole was slow
one; but it finally got there, and is
now ready for flying the weather
signals as they are telegraphed from
the official weather bureau in Wash
ington.
The wrangle between Mr.. Secre-
tary Swipson of this countys AL
lance, and Mr.. President Butler of
the State Alliance, is fair sample
of the condition of things as so wall
ingly depicted in Col. President L.
L. Folks call for a secret Alliance
meeting published in this issue.
There is way oat of all this trou-
bic. It is for them to stand true to
the party of the people and for the
people. 1t never gets ratified, and
fights an open fight.
Mr.. Will Freeman and his fair
young bride, nee Miss Siddie King,
of Beaufort, arrived in the city Tues
day, and were given a cordial re-
ception at the home of the groom
mother, Mrs. Hannah Freeman, on
William street, where many beauti-
full bridal presents were displayed,
and hospitality abounded. The
ARGUS joins with the many friends
of the groom in welcoming young
Mrs. Freeman to our midst and 10
wishing the happy young couple all
JOY and prosperity.
The ARGUS man had call from
Mr.. Perry Cox yesterday, and he says
that the attempt of Messrs. Worth,
Barnes and Dunn to bolster up Mr..
Butler in the emergency that has be-
fallen him is rather a strange pre-
ceeding on their part, knowing their
views as he does, having so recently
talked with them fully in Raleigh
and discussed Buffers plans with
them. Mr.. Cox says that he is sur.
prised at their card in yesterday
ARGUS and is at a loss to understand
what manner of men they are.
