Grover Cleveland on Marriage.

From letter to friend.
Gas l look back upon the years
that have passed since God in His
infinite goodness bestowed upon me
the best of all His gifts-a loving
and affectiona tie wife-all else, honor,
the opportunity of usefulness and
the esteem OF my fellow countrymen,
are subordinates in every aspiration
ofgratitude and thankfulness. You
are not wrong, therefore, when you
claim, in the atmosphere of first
coming bliss that now surrounds
you, kinship with one who can testi-
fy with unreserved tenderness to the
santification which comes to man
when heaven-directed love leads the
way to marriage"

THE COURTHOUSE QUESTION

We need q new courthouse.
We ought to have a new court
house.
We now have some hope that we
will have a new courthouse.
Somehow, our people have labored
under the impression that a new
courthouse could not be built with
out special act of the Legislature
or a vote of the people, one or both.
Judge Brown says such ideas are
erroneous.
In calling public attention to the
Grand Jury's report, in which the
necessity for improved Court facili-
ties was pointed out, the Judge said
that the absolute incapacity of the
building had been demonstrated
beyond a doubt and that the County
authorities seemed to be entirely
ignorant of the fact that it was their
duty to construct a new Courthouse;
that no election upon the question
was necessary; that the County
Commissioners have the authority
to build it and may borrow money
for that purpose, if necessary. The
case of Bladen county was cited to
sustain this position. There the
proposition to build a courthouse
was voted down by thepeople and the
County Commissioners went ahead
and borrowed money and built it.
Then the question as to whether
or not we shall have a new court
house is in the hands of the County
Commissioners and this fact en-
courages the hope that it will not he
long before steps are taken to supply
this great need.
We believe the Commissioners, like
ali considerable and unprejudiced
citizens who have given the matter
thought, recognize that the present
building is entirely inadequate to
the purposes for which it is used, to
say nothing of it's unsightly appear
ance i'll a most conspicuous location.
There was time when the build
ing would answer, but that time is
away in the past. Forsyth county
is many times larger now than then
and has grown from one of the
small counties of the State to one of
the largest and only four counties
are credited with greater wealth,
Forsyth standing fifth in this re-
spect.
1t is shame that the old building
has not already been supplanted by
new one, commensurate in capaci-
ty and appearance with the changed
condition of affairs. But let this
pass. We turn our faces towards
the future and now that the way has
been pointed out by Judge Brown
we hope the Commissioners will not
be slow to act in this very important
matter.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS.

Judge Brown issued the following
order last week looking to a re-
modelling of the interiorof Forsyth's
excuse for courthouse:
"The Court being of opinion that
the present arrangement of the bar
and jury box is a serious impeachment
to the proper discharge of the public
business, and the Grand Jury having
SO recommended in their report, it is
ordered that the matter be called to
the attention of the County Com
missioners, to the end that they may
have the bar remodelled and re-
arranged SO as to afford better
accommodation to the jurymen and
the Court, as well as the practiciDg
attorneys
The Clerk was instructed to deliver
a copy of the order to the Chairman
of the Board Of County Commission
ers.

EXTENSION OF LEASE.
Criticisms of State Press Upon the
Transaction.

1F6nSdCtlOn.
Raleigh News and Ohsess.s-
Ia the f.,-rzsssan almost unanimous
n,.s Is aussom the people, the directors
ess~s11e North Carolina Railroad have
abused the trust committed to them
and have leased the road for ninety
nine years for ridiculously small
increase over the amount paid for
the last twenty five years
We had feared that the Directors
had determined to make a lease, not
because any reason worthy the name
had been advanced in favor of it,
but from certain rumOrs that came
to our ears. But we never supposed
they would be guilty of leasing it for
ninety nine years, in face of the pro-
test against it.
We are shocked that the Governor
should countenance a proposition so
unjust to present and future genera
tiOns.
We are grieved that the Board of
Directors have entered into a con
tract by which the railroad gets
every advantage that will come from
the enterprise and prosperity of the
people of the State for the next
ninety nine years.
1t is blunder without excuse.
1t is a crime without palliatiOn.
Charlotte Observer.
The extension of the lease of the
North Carolina Railroad at this
time for period of 90 years-plac
tically forever on terms but slightly
better than those obtained &c years
ago, was capital mistake and one
which will be repented of in bitter
ness. We are far from impeaching
the motives of the directors. They
| are all honorable men, and we say
this with none of the irony with
| which Marc Antony said it of
Caesars murderers. We readily
concede that they have done what
they conceived was best to be done
under the circumstances but their
action was mOnstrous and they can
not answer satisfactorily for it at
the bar of public opinion. What
baleful influence controlled them, SO
that from the outset they have been
steeled against all argument, we do
not know, but we do know that four
years in advance of any necessity for
action they have bartered away the
States most valuable property for a
century.
| Charlotte News.
The Directors of the North Caro-
lima railroad re leased it to the
Southern yesterday for a term of 90
years at 6A per cent interest for the
first 6 years, and per cent for the
next 93 years. This is a good rate
of interest, but whether it is as good
as could be done, we do not know
We certainly do not think the lease
should have been made for more
than 30 years. We think the direc
tors did wrong in leasing it for 90
| years.

She Was a Peach.

Rochester Union and Advertiser.
They sat in the hammock-he and

happy manner peculiar to lovers.
Finally he whispered in her shell like

"You are like a peach" he sighed
wisttully.
The maiden hung her head demure-
ly for few minutes, while a warm
blush spread over her fair blond face.
I'D rather be pair" she
answered, tremulou ly. A long
silence ensued; then like beautiful
dream the situation unfolded itself to
the young man, and the cards are

THE CIGARETTE CoMB1N

The news published in Saturdays
SENTINEL that the American Tobac-
co Company is to have formidable
competitor in the manufacture of
cigarettes, through the combination
of number of large manufacturers,
will be received with pleasure by
tobacco raisers, for the reason that
it promises higher prices for certain
grades that have materially declined
in price since the American has pos
sessed practical monopoly of the
market. There is danger, however,
that, sooner or later, the two big
trusts will combine into one and
then the last estate of the tobacco
grower will be worse than the first.
The whole tendency of the business
is towards monopoly and the only
stable, permanent relief that we are
able to see is through strong laws
against trusts, rigidly enforced.

Senator Hill,s Ambition.
New Orleans State.

New Orleans State.
Col. VIM. R. Morrison. of the inter-
state railroad commission, declares
that Senator Hill, of New York, has
his eyes on the presidency, but is
playing a waiting game. According
to Colonel Morrison, the New York
Senator is urging the nomination OF
Western man for the presidency
with the view of turning public at
tention from such Eastern men as
Whitney and Lamont, and at the
proper time will himself leap into the
arena as a candidate, with his CAM
paign fully organized. Senator Hill
is very ambitious man, it is true,
and tireless worker, but the presi-
DENTAL nomination is a prize that is
beyond his reach. If the Democratic
party goes to the East for q man to
lead it next year, VIM. G. Whitney
will be the nominee because even the
Republicans admit that be is by far
the strongest and most popular

A Remarkable Chicken,


Raleigh Press.
We were shown a curiosity this
morning which beats anything in
chicken freaks we have ever seen or
heard of. 1t was a young chicken
hatched out yesterday, having four
feet and legs and double back.
The chicken was as well feathered
as young ones generally are. 1t had
but one head, though it seemed rath~
err large for small chicken. The
feet and legs were well developed,
there being no defects anywhere in
the unusual members. The chicken
had the appearance of two joined
together by the breast and abdomen.
There was no dividing line, for the
union was complete. The chicken
belonged to Mr.. W. S. Ford of this
city. 1t died soon after being taken
from the shell. Mr.. Ford will put
the freak in alcohol and keep it to
exhibit

PRESIDENT AND THE POETS.
Mr.. Cleveland's Letter on Marriage
Produces Some Verses.

Produces Some Verses.
Mr.. Cleveland has written another
letter. This time he writes to
poet. 1t seems that Mr.. Edgar Deer>
ing, of Brooklyn, is quite a dab at
verse~making. He has written sew
eral songs. of the kind one hears and
grieves over during particular sul>
try campaigns, and amidst the bu>
collie shades of Brooklyn he enjoys
no small renown. When Mr.. Edgar
Deering read the Presidents letter
to ohm Temple Graves and noted
what was said therein about the
"grand, sweet song," his emotions
began to work. The poetic ferment
could almost be heard across the
street He felt things rising inside
of him, and had to gulp sternuously
in order to contain them. He didn't
contain them long, even at that,
however for in a day or two the mu'
sic broke all bounds and gushed
forth as follyws:
Life is one grand, sweet song,
That swells triumphant on our listening ears;
Grandly its strains prolong.
Resechoing sweetly DER the rolling years.
Its cadence reaches to earth's remotest
AS its tale of love and joy it tells.
Wherever love finds its own twill there
be found
Still weaving its magic spell.
CHORUS:
Life is one grand, sweet song,
Grandly its strains prolong,
Bearing its message sweet,
Telling of joy complete.
Life is one grand sweet song
Thrilling cur souls with joy,
Life is one grand sweet song,
That tells of love without alloy.
Life is one grand, sweet song
That loving hearts each to esceh are ever
singing,
Telling in accents strong
The message sweet that it is bringing.
As long as soul toucheth soul with love
divine,
Fen when life no niger thrills the clay
Well have sweet converse together at the
shrine
OF love, in that perfect day.
Then Mr.. Edgar Deering caught
the melody and imprisoned it on pas
per with a typewriter and sent it on
its tuneful way to Buzzard's Bay,
accompanied by some burning res
marks that didn't rhyme, and with>
in week received this letter of &C,
acknowledgement:

A numerous scene was enacted in

charged with burglarizing a store.

and was about to open his case with

med the colonel that he desired to
plead guilty.
Mr.. Watkins then stated to the
court words to the effect that the de-
PENDANT desired to confess his guilt.
Judge Beck accordingly read the
law in the case and stuck the negro
for ten long years.
After sentence had been passed
and quiet reigned supreme, the ne
gro walled his eyes round and beck
oned Col. Watkins to come forward
and when the lawyer reached his side
the negro gently whispered:
"Say, Mr.. Watkins, kahn yer
