iStration men, who supported Captain
Isaac w. Clark for mayor, refused to
spirit appears to be irreConcilable an in
split appears to be inconcilable, an in
fluential part of the community deem
ing it absolutely indispensable to good
government and to the independence
of the voter that one man should not
hold the office for SO many years, while
a very large following of Colonel Cook,
as was shown by yesterdays vote, is
still potent at the ballot box, the ad-
ministration ticket having polled 547
votes. This is a diSpasSionate view of
the situation from a "looker-on in Vien-
na," the correspondent living on Hay
mount, outside the corporate limits.
Rev Mr.. Kimball greatly edited the
congregation at ST. Johns Epicopal
church yesterday morning by a for
chile, instructive sermon on home n
foreign missions.
Two very proficient mill men from
the state of Pennsylvania, Messrs. Ma
honey and Maloney, who are well
equipped in all the work of weaving n

having rented dwellings on Person n

morning, heavy rains having fallen

bridges.
His many friends in this city heartily
| congratulate Mr.. Benjamin w. Robin
| son on his approaching marriage to a
| young lady in Alabama, where he is en-
| gagged in business. Mr. Robinson was

his native town in August, 1893, to take
/ part in the centennial celebration of the
Fayetteville Independent Light Infan-
/ try; of which he was a faithful men,

1t is a pity that the entertaining
| dEtlCle III T<OIll SdIollilldiiS III III Soii-
federate congress-, cabinet and field,
from the graceful pen of DR.. Kings
bury, editor of The Messenger, shout
be marred by typographical errors in
it's republication by the press. OF
course Congressman II. D.. Mcdowell
should be Thomas Mcdowell, Of Blad-
en-, as faithful a public servant as ever
lived. From the list of confederate
congressman the lame of Hon. T. G..
Fuller, now Judge OF the United States
court of claims, has been inadvertently
omitted. He was elected in service on
+, the field. Surely, in the list OF general
officers killed Junius C. Daniel, instead
of 'Junius G. Goodwin" was intended.
The reading public of Fayetteville is
under no little obligation to Mrs. Wick
er, who, fortunately possessing a large

and lovers of poetry, fiction, travel, etc.
Mr.. Allen, keeper of the coal shute of
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, in the
southern suburbs of the city, had a
band of tramps up before the mayor
/ for cursing and threatening him.. They
| were lucky in being let off en- condition
1 of leaving town at once.
