large supply of wood in order that

days. As you know, there ism t
anything we country people enjoy
better than sitting by a good warm
fire and talking about our last crop

will be and do in the future.
l have been reading the accounts
given OF the debate between Sloan

to judge by some of the letters
which have been written by men who
are partial towards Sloan, l would
say Pinnacle is defeated, but as 1
was there and heard the speeches on
both sides, l am bound to say with
the judges and the audience-Pin-
nacle has won the victory. 1t is true
the Sloan boys made some good
speeches but the Pinnacle boys were
more than their equals in argument
and also in oratory. Now if Sloan
thinks the Pinnacle boys have backed
down let them send in their challenge
any time after the first of January.

MAGAZINE GROWTH.

Since the Cosmopolitan Magazine
cut it's price in two it has had an
extraordinary growth in circulation.
Its publishers claim that its Decen-
Der edition will be 100000 copies,
and that the order OF the American
News Company called for one hun
dred tons of magazines. This mag
azne is offered with the WESTERN
SENTINEL (weekly) for s. per year
and we suggest to our readers that
our weekly edition and this fine
magazine would be a most agreeable
Christmas gift to relatives or friends
who formerly lived in this section
and are attached to it by the ties OF
kinship or recollection.
The Forum, another standard
magazine, has also cut it's price very
decidedly. 1t is of very different
order from the Cosmopolitan, deal
ing more with public questions, such
as politics, finance, historical prob
lens and the like. 1t is fortunate
that these reductions in price are not
accompanied by reductionin quality.
Such magazines are among the great
est educational forces in our country
and We are glad to read of their
enormous circulation.

VANCE'S VIEWS.

A few days ago in Baltimore our
honored Senator Vance expressed
himself as follows in regard to the
repeal of the tax on State banks: "In
my State there is widespread feel
ing that the repeal of this tax will go
long way toward alleviating the
depression that now exists. There
is an almost unanimous sentiment
for its repeal, and the people look to
their representatives in Congress to
urge this relief. Our people say that
with this tax removed local banks
will spring up, and an opportunity
will be afforded much local capital
to be invested in the State banks and
SO to find it's way into circulation.
Capital with us is as timid as it is
elsewhere, and the holders of money
are unwilling to seek outside invest
ments at this time. These people
will be willing, however, to put capt.
tai into local banks operated under
State charters. Of course in favor
ing the passage of such repeal |
will urge that close supervision be
exercised by the State over such
banking establishments. 1t will be
the duty of State officers to see that
they are surrounded by every safe
guard. We do not care for the cry
that is constantly made thata State
bank currency will soon depreciate.
This depreciation will be a blessing
in disguise, because it will serve to
keep the money in local circulation
and thereby prevent stringency or
contraction. If we have bills to pay
in commercial centres like Baltimore,
New York and other places they will
be paid in cotton exchange bills, and
not in the State bank notes."

PRESS AND MESSAGE.

1t is both interesting and profita-
BILE to note what is said regarding
the Presidents message. The New
York Herald says that the dominant
note is prompt tariff revision and
adds: Nothing should intervene to
to distract our attention or disturb
our effort until this reform is ac-
complished by wise and careful legis
lation" The World says: The
President is no doubt rightin saying
of the currency question, which has
been simplifed by the repeal of the
Silver Purchase law, that a reason
able delay will increase the probabili-
ty of wise action" The New York
Times, which is very able journal,
is quoted as follows: "The financial
situa ton is succinctly reviewed. The
entire change in the complexion Of
our currency affairs brought about
by the repeal of the silver purchase
act is noted, as well as the necessity
OF a lasting and comprehensive
financial plan. Mr.. Cleveland's judg
ment is sound when he expresses the
that a reasonable delay
in dealing with this subject, instead
of being injurious, will increase the
proba bility of wise action
The tariff question-as to which
the President was supposed by his
critics to feel the most anxiety-is
treated by him iD the same quiet and
reasonable fashion. The party in
trusted it'll the government has to
meet at once an opportunity and a
duty. The latter is imperative. To
shirk it will be sheer recreancy. The
is rare and ample"

at her residence near Yadkinville, on
the morning of Dec. 9th, of pneu-
monia, at the age of 43 years. She
had been sick for several weeks and
all that medical skill and kind friends
could do to relieve her suffering
were in vain. She was a kind wife,
an affectionate mother and always
delighted in ministering to the wants
of the poor and suffering. She had
been a consistent member of the
Methodist church at Centre for
several years and her life was always
full of christian deeds and noble sx-
amples. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev Miles FL Long in
the Methodist church here, in the
presence OF large congregation OF
relatives and sympathizing friends,
and the remains were buried in the
Centre cemetery Thursday evening
Rev Thad L Troy, agent for amer
lean Bible Society, held children s
