The Burke County news. [volume] (Morganton, N.C.) 1899-1901, 1900-03-16

The beautiful new town and
winter resort, Southern Pines,
says the Raleigh Post, is a
community of Northern peo-
pie almost exclusively. And
all are Republicans in politics.
The Free Press, published at
that place, says scarcely with
out exception, the people of
that town, while in no way
renouncing their Republican
ism, favor the adoption of the
constitutional amendment,
realizing from their expert
ence and observation that it is
best for all.

SUGGESTIVE NAMES.

The Wilson News says in
Wilkes county there is a town
named Bugaboo. Spencer
Blackburn ought to live there.
In Eastern Carolina is a little
settlement known as Tear
Shirt. That should be the
home of Marion Butler. Over
in Person county is Shake Rag.
If would be a suitable name
for Linney's home, and Hol-
ton might locate at Brayville,
in Chatham. Then the negro
White could find a congenial
color at least in Wilkes county
with Spencer Blackburn at
Ink, and if not there, then at
Hanging Dog in Cherokee
county. The Revenue "dood-
lers" would find Corn in Cald-
we'll, a name to their fancy,
and the entire outfit of Repop-
licoon politicians might mobi-
lie at Peanut in Onslow
county, if they could stand
them, while all the Democrats

War Not Over.

While the war in the Philippine islands has about ended,
andIthe British are about to overpower and exterminate a small
command OF the Boer army, the great war between some of our
big merchants $50 called) in Morganton, on the sale of cab
bage seed, is at its height. While these merchants are con-
testing all the ground as to who can sell the most cabbage seed
for the least money, they have left the weightier matters for
the little fellows to attend to. To meet this great responsibility
l have been as busy as a bee in a tar bucket filling up my store
with everything needful that can be called for in the way of
frst-class Family Groceries and Fancy Confectlons. and while
the big fellows are fighting over cabbage seed, you come right
along to my store. and without fuss or furry l will fit you up
with everything that is good to eat and delicious to the taste,
and at prices as low as they can be sold at retail in New York.
