The Spirit Of Christmas.

It is we'll to catch the spirit Of
Christmas, the spirit of peace aud
good will. Feastings and gifts
are it's natural expressions. Hos
pitality and good cheer are its
background. Faith is stronger
and hope is brighter and love is
greater for the Christmas season,
and by the inspiration of spirit Of
the holiday, we get a brilliant
glimpse of a transfgured hui
manity, a social survey momen-
tary, elusive, evanescent, yet rich
in the promise of a better day, o
vision which cannot be material
lied in tabernacles, but which
may be enshrined in human as.

Who Was the Loser?

"Speaking of licenses" said a
magistrate from the county, as he
finished negotiation with the
register Of deeds, reminds me ol
a fellow, a soldier, a soldier in tht
ste nding army of the United
States, who got license in my sec.
tion several months ago. When
he arrived at the home of the
minister with the young lady, be
found he had lost the Necessary
papers. He asked the minister
to marry them anyway, but he de-
clined to take the risk. The cou.
pie then drove away, the girl re-
turned home and they never mar
ried at all, the groom refusing tc
secure another license. Char

Talk Of a New County.

Talk of new county to be COM
posed of townships from Cabarrus
and Stanly seems to disturb the
minds of certain guardians of the
Republican party. But they ought
not to care, since the proposed
change would give Republicans
almost complete control of the
little corner. But there are some
who freely predict that even a new
county would not want to stand
Republicanism longer than two
years on a stretch, and, without
Big Lick, Almond and Furr, the
Old Party in Stanly would be a
lame stick upon which to lean.
However, the reasons for creating
new county have a far greater
significance than political ends,
and we are not wondering that
citizens Of townships concerned
are interesting themselves in the
matter, regardless of party

Lexington Dispatch. Dec. 18th.
| The public building matter is
still the bone of contention. The
down town folks think they have
got everything "cinched, "and the
up town people think that the
matter will sbe opened and REIN
vestigated, and that they will
eventually win out. Capt. S. E.
Williams and Messrs. Wade II,
Phillips and T. E. McCrary have
been to Washington during the
week, ,andthey have seen the powers
that be. What will result is not
known now. Some strong wires
are being pulled both from the
up town sites and the down town
sites. T..
Solomon Long, of lexington No.
l, was here yesterday, and told
The Dispatch that among other
big hog killings in this section,
Alex. Zimmerman butchered one
that weighed 700 pounds, and
Emmit Hedrick killed another
which made the scales indicate

nice one that fetched 449 on the
scales.
A case that attracted some at
tentlon last week was one by
George Mize against Thos, Crotts,
and arose from misunderstand-
ing in business matters. Mr..
Crotts had been cutting timber on
the land of Mr.. Mize and they diff.
fered slightly as to the money due.
Saturday when the case came up
before Squire Meyer, the prose-
cution withdrew the warrant, paid
the costs and stopped the litiga-
tlon, it having been shown that
the trouble was purely misunder-
standing.
A farmer from the Arcadia sec.
tion says that the horses there
have been attacked by some mys-
terious ailment and are dying.
Messrs. Hege and Robert Scott
have lost valuable animals. Our
informant did not know what.
the disease is called.
Sid Weaver, on two and one
half acres of land, raised 1O5
bushels of peanuts, which he is
selling for 81 per bushel, and
has about sold the crop. On two
acres of land he produced $40
worth of cotton, and therefore
concludes that raising peanuts is
better than making cotton.
The name Of the new cotton mill
is the "Decotah," and the stock
has been subscribed down to
$4,000. This week the organiza-
tion will take place. The site has
not been selected, and it is still
debated whether it will be above
town, near the Nokomis, or down
Fellow town on the Vic Humphrey
place. Much interest attaches to
the location of the mill, almost as
much as has been stirred by the
public building; and there are
abont as many who want the mill
above town as there are who wish
it located below. However. just
so it is placed in the town, 1t
doesn't make great ceal of diff
ference.
