SaIisbury's First Train,

In quoting from an old diary,
kept by the late Jas. R. Crawford,
a prominent citizen of Iredell
county, the StatesviIle Landmark
reproduces the following:
january 4th-A cloudy day.
In Salisbury. Here I find a mix
ed multitude of every grade and
character, assembled for the pur-
pose of witnessing the arrival of
the cars from Charlotte. Here
are perhaps some 10 or Is thous-
and, m%anifesting by their presence
and countenances their interest in
the welfare of North Ctrolina. At
II O'Clock the cry is heard. The
cars are coming. Then is heard
the roaring of cannon and the en-
thusiastic shouts and huzzas of
the excited crowd. We repair to
the rostum and listen to an able
and patriotic address by Judge j.
W. Ellis afterward Governor
until quiet is again disturbed by
the arrival of a second and third
train. After The close of this ad.
dress Moorehead is called upon
aud makes a few very appropriate
remarks. He compliments the
Legislature highly for the very
favorable spirit they maintain
towards internal improvements.
Three cheers are called for and
three shrill whistles from each of
the three snorting engines. ming.
led with the roaring cannon and
shouting multitude, we're heard
echoing and re-echoing over the
hills and valleys. A great day
this for Salisbury-and Western
Carolina. The orator expressed
his inability to do justice to the
occasion and retired very grace
fully, leaving the field to the iron
orators, as he expressed it. At
two we partook of the barbecue
prepared for the occasion and at
three witnessed the ascension of a
balloon by Prof. Elliott"

A Cure For SMALLPOX,

DR.. J. J. McElwee, Secretary of
the Missouri State Board of
Health, gives the following recipe
for smallpox.
II herewith append a recipe
which has been used, to my know
ledge, in hundreds of cases of
smallpox. It will prevent CT
cure though the pittings r fill
ings. When Jener discovered the
cow pox in England the world of
science overwhelmed him with
fame, but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world,
that of Paris, published this re
ceipe 1t passed unheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. It will also cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe
as l have used it to cure small
pox: Sulphate of Zinc, one grain :;
digitalis. one grain; one-half teas
poonful. Dissolve in a wine glass
of soft water which has been boil
ed and cooled. Take teaspoonful
every hour. Either scarlet fever
or smallpox will disappear in
twelve hours. For children the
dose must be dimished according
to age. If communities will COM
pei their physicians to use this
treatment, there will be no need
Of pest houses. If you value
your life use this recipe.

Strict Orders Applying to
Resident and Nonresident
Hunters Received by Game
Warden.

According TO instructions sent
out TO deputy game wardens
there will be no parleying this
year with either resident or non
resident hunters who, through
one cause or another have failed
to take out a hunting license
and are caught in pursuit of pro-
tected game of any kind.
Heretofore there has been a
leniency given the hunter who
either had forgotten" to take
out a license or was unable
according to his assertion) to
obtain license outside his home
county, and to boys and others
who never did secure the neces-
sary certificate for immunity
from the game warden clutches.
No party" lines will be drawn
this year, but each will fare the
same as his neighbor when
caught violating the law. Those
non-residents who wish to hunt
can secure a license at any time
from the nearest game warden
and thus save himself consider
able trouble.
The county clerk is the busy
man these days issuing the nee

shot and bull-eves by the expert.
