exhibits occupied one side of Floral
Hall. | asked him about his new cot
ton factory He said it would be in
operation before New Year. 1T contains
1000 spindles and $50 looms. The ma
chinery is all in place and the betting
is now being done. The building is
S0x120, three stories high. This mill
has been built by subscriptions on the
instQllment plan and President Coleman
has carried the burden ON his shoulders.
The capital stock is $4,000, of which
$4,000 was subscribed by white men
and $4,000 by negroes. 1t is now
nearly all paid up, and it is contemplated
to issue more stock as the $4,000 is not
adequate. The superintendent of the
mill is an expert white man from Low
ell, Mass, and the machinist is a colored
man who resigned a position at the Ala
bama A. and NJ. College (coloredl to
take part in organizing the first negro
cotton mill.
President Coleman said: "There is
| one thing about Concord | want you
to mention specially. 1t lis dry town.
We do not permit any bar-rooms there.
We were troubled with blind tigers for
| a while, but Mayor Means is putting a
stop to them. The mill owners say that

are strong local option men. The gem

local option than voted against it. That
shows that our negro population is grow

he hasn't even given up the

A Homicide Near Hickory The
Drake Case Again Continued-.A
Peculiar Trial. Other CataWba

0oWS.
Newton Enterprise, Dec. 18th.
Last Saturday night three
hack loads of gentlemen and
ladies attending the field trials
engaged the services Of the
best 'possum hunters and best
|'possum dogs they could find
in Newton and went over near
Mr.. Andrew Wilson's on a
|'possum hunt. They had lots
of fun and captured four big
'possums.
The hotels and livery stables
are again taxed to their utmost
this week to accommodate the
attendants upon the field trials.
The Register of Deeds issued
during the twelve months end
ing December list, 234 mar
riage licenses. This is the
largest number ever issued in
one year, and is 81 more than
were issued last year.
There was a case very much
out of the run of things tried
before a magistrate in Cline's
township last Monday. Three
leading citizens we're indicted
under a certain section of the
code for breaking into St.
Peters Lutheran church. They
took a glass out of the window,
entered the church and opened
the door for the purpose of ad-
hitting the preacher and hav-
ing divine services. They were
bound over to the Superior
Court in a bond of 500 each.
The church was locked by
members of the Missouri Synod,
and the men indicted belong
to the Tennessee Synod. Mr..
w G: Feimster represented
the prosecution and MI. A. A.
Whitener, the defense.
The Drake case was again
continued in Caldwell court.
The cause of continuance this
time was the sickness Of Jim
Drake. Last time it was con
: tinued after trial was begun on
account of the sickness Of the
other Drake. The schedule for
, the Drake sickness coinciding
, SO exactly with Caldwell court
. is becoming quite a joke. The
counsel for the defendants, we
understand pressed very hard
for a trial this time of the two

, time on motion of the State.

One of the Greatest Blessings.

The gratifying news comes from
Washington that the Dingley bill is
working so well that our receipts are
far in excess of our expenditures, and
the latter have been increasing during
the past year because of the war.
Those carpers who We're constantly
saying that the country would suffer
if the Dingley bill were passed will
have to guess again. There never was
a time when the country was more
prosperous than it is now, and our ex-
ports vastly exceed our imports, which
shows that the balance of trade is in
our favor. Whenever country ar
rives at that point it is sure proof that
prosperity abounds. The calamity
howlers all over the country would
like to see it otherwise, but they are
getting to be so few in number that
they do not count. The Dingley law
is one of the greatest blessings ever
conferred upon this country.

MRS. LOTTIE MINARD.

BUFFALO, n. Y, July 27-CSpecial.)
Wife died this morning. viii take her
to Emporium.
+. A. MINARD.
The above short message will prove
sudden shock to the many friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Minard in Austin and this
locality.
Although Mrs. NIinard had been in
poor health for several weeks, it was
thought by those of her friends who
knew of her mission to Buffalo, that an
operation would undoubtedly restore her
to health
She had been a resident of Austin less
than a year, but numbered her friends by
her acquaintance, who will join with us
in extending sympathy to the bereaved
husband and sorrowing relatives.-Aus-
tin Autograph.
The remains of the deceased lady were
brought to Emporium last Thursday
evening and taken to the residence of Mr..
Minard's sister, Mrs. w. A. Sprung, on
East Third street. The funeral took
place on Saturday, at two o'clock, Revs.
Shriner and McCaslin officiating, The
singing by the Quartette was very ap-
proprate and sweet.
A delegation of Emporium Odd Fellows
served as pail bearers, the bereaved husband
being an honored member of the Austin
Lodge.
Deceased was married about nine years
ago to Fred A. Minard, son of Hon. N.
p. Minard, Of Shipper, this county. She
will be remembered by many Of our citi-
zens as Lottie Van Cise, who resided at
Cameron years ago with her parents
She has many friends and relatives in
this county who deeply mourn her un-
timely death Mrs. Frank Fox. ST., Of
Driftwood, is a sister of the deceased.
The bereaved husband, who we have
known since childhood, is certainly en-
titled to the deep sympathy of his old
friends, in this county, in his terrible af-
fiction.
In addition to the immediate relatives,
who reside at and near Emporium,
the following attended the funeral Mrs.
Frank Fox, Sr., DriItwood, and Mrs.

How TO Paper Whitewashed Walls,

1t is difficult to get paper to stick to
walls that have been made smooth by
frequent whitewashing. The smooth
finish may be scraped off or the surface
may be changed with a coat Of paste If
you decide to use the paste, make it in
the following manner: Put one pint of
-four in a saucepan and beat into it one
quart of cold water. When smooth add
two quarts of boiling water, stirring all
the time. Let this boil up once, then
strain and cool Brush this paste over
the walls and allow it to dry. When you
are ready to paper, wet the walls, spread
paste on the paper, and hang it in the
usual manner.-August Ladies Home
