By some inexcusable oversight
Congressman Barrett, of Bayard
impeachment fame, has not yet
be mentioned for President.
WE regre. to chronicle the crit
ical illness of Mrs. Sarah Gallos
way, the venerable mother of
Capt. Swift and Mr.. D. w. Gal
loway, at her home in this city.
MISS Annie Isler, who has been
on an extended visit to relatives
in New York, returned home this
afternoon, accompanied on a visit
by her aunt Mrs. Jno.D Williams,
Of Fayetteville.
OUR good friend Mr.. Dempsey
Copeland, of the Fremont section.
comes to the front with the heavs
lest porkcr reported to this office
for the season. He killed it this
week, and it tipped the beam at
COS pounds.
The Philadelphia Ledger is
convinced that this is a great coun-
try because at least eight Presi-
Dental booms are now sweeping
over the country and no two of
them have collided yet.
AN exchange calls attention to
the fact that the West India hur
ricane the other day reached
Washing just in time to escape
playing in opposition to the es-
teemed silver orators of the Sen
ate.
It's about time for those five
sound money Democrats in the
Kentucky Legislature to cease
their pouting and join in re-elect-
ing Blackburn to the Senate. Any
sort of a Democeat is preferable
to a Republican.

THE funeral Of the late S. H.
Denmark was held on Tuesday
at 10 o'clock from the Goldsboro
Baptist church, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. Jas. Long, assisted
by Rey. F. W. FAIRIES, of the
Presbyterian church, and Rev.
@. J. Nelson. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity,
thus attesting the esteem Of this
community for the deceased and
their sympathy for the bereaved
loved ones left behind. The
floral tributes were beautiful
and the service most impressive.
The pall-bearers were Messrs.
w. H. Borden. W. P. Lane, W.
It. Harrison, r. E. Pipkin and
Jno. Slaughter. Honorary pail
bearers, Capt. w. t. Slocumb
and Capt. D.. j. Broadhurst. The
interment was made in the fam
lily plot in beautiful Willow Dale.
DURING the prevalence of the
high wind Tuesday about II
o'clock the alarm of fire startled
our citizens. 1t originated from
the residence recently vacated
by Mr.. R. W. Grafton, neal the
Presbyterian church, and into
which Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Joseph
we're moving at the time, the
furniture not yet being placed.
The fire originated from a lot of
excelsior being Inadvertently
thrown into the fire place, caus-
ing a burst of flame from the
chimney, and the high wind
blowing it downward the roof
was ignited. The damage will
require some days to repair. The
fire department vas promptly
on the scene and did some effec>
tual work. The property is
owned by Mr.. H. G. Shannon
and the damage is covered by in
Surance.
The Hon. Marion Butler, the
Endless Chain of Huneycutt's'
says the New York Sun, seeing
the impossibility of uttering
within finite space aud time the
thoughts that arise in him., has
taken to the pen. An address of
his, calling on the North Caro-
linians to organize a separate
silver party, is now burning over
the State. But a new party
would be only a temporary re-
lief to Mr., Butler. If he had a
hundred new parties a. week to
write and make speeches., ad.
dresses, warnings, resolutions
and essays to, he would still feel
a construction of the brain and
throat; he conscious still that
most of the local wisdom under
which he bows must remain IN
delivered, and that he must die
with most of his music in him,
although the years Of Methu~
seleh should be his. Wonderful,
but tangled Endless Chain.
A Southern magazine has been
making a canvass throughout a
number of States relative to the
