Wilkinsville, Sept. 11.—Mr. C. C.
Roberts, of Shelby, N. C.. was down
looking after his farming inlorest on
Broad river this week. He is much
improved in health since we last saw
him.
The election at Wilkinsville pre
cinct last Tuesday was a very quiet,
peaceable one and the best of feeling
existed between the friends of the
several candidates. No whiskey or
other disturbing agency was in evi
dence to mar the peace of the occas
ion. The voters generally deposited
their ballots and returned to their
homes or business in a quiet, order
ly and peaceable manner. The law
making power acted wisely in pro-
gade. Gen. Walker took part in th#
battle of Chickamauga and as he was
the moving spirit in the erection of
the South Carolina monument, one
of the most conspicuous in that field,
it is reasonable that his comrades
will urge his name as a permanent
member of that commission. Than
he no better qualified man can be
found to attend to or carry on the
work.
The election is now over and things
will move on in the tenor of their
ways. We are neither a prophet nor
the son of a prophet, but if our horo
scope is not out of order or the signs
in the poli’ical heavens are not de
lusive the time is not far distant
when Cherokee county will furnish
the fifth congressional district it*
representative and the district will,
in turn, furnish the State its next
United States Senator. We are not
the only one who sees matters in this
light, and are not by ourself to be de
ceived if this prediction is not veri
fied.
Rev. C. M. Teal began his meeting
at Abingdon Creek church last Sab
bath and has had fairly good congre
gations at each service—day and
night. Considerable interest is be
ing manifested in it. We are not pre
pared. as yet, to give a full report of
his work.

That’s right, Brother “School Boy,"

Here is another riddle for some one
to answer:
I live in the woods
Where I nothing son say;
But when I am dead,
I’m able to play.
Speaking of John Adams and
Thamas Jefferson a moment ago re*
calls what Gen. John B. Gordon said
of an incident which took place on
his road from Appomattox to Petere*
burg where he went to join Mrs. Gor^
don after the surrender of Gen. Lee.
He was riding with one of Ohio's
greatest statesmen when In their
conversation the subject of the war
came up. Gen. Gordon spoke of the
ruined condition of the country and
especially of the South when the
Ohioan said: “Gen. Gordon, don’t let
ithat trouble you. This country is not
ruined for Abraham Llnconln is at
its head.”
Mr. Charlie Bell, of Blackstock, has
a violn that is 190 years old. It waa
made in Spain in 1718 and Is one of
the best instruments of the kind we
know of. It’s an heirloom and has
passed through the hands of many
generations. There is not a defect
ive part or spot about it. It’s as
good now as it ever was.
The mst is unusually severe-on the
cotton this year, and it’s more gen
eral than we ever knew it before.
People are sowing and have sown
a good many turnip seed this season.
They think they can use them largely
for fattening hogs.
Mrs. J. L. S.’ chickens have quit
dying with the cholera. She has lost
all her young turkeys and most of
her chickens after using every effort
to save them.
From what we can learn farmers
will sow rve extensively this fall for
early feed next spring.
From The Times Democrat (Char
lotte, X. C .) we learn that Mr. Frank
S. McGinnis died at his home at
King’s Mountain on Monday night of
last' week—August 31st. He once
lived in this neighborhood and mar
ried a Miss Black who has relatives
in this and York county.
Mr. Walter Kirby, who has been
sick for quite a while, we regret to
learn is not doing so well. He had
a backset yesterday. Walter is a
good boy and has many warm friends
within the scope of The Ledger’s
circulation who will be sorrv :o learn
he recovers so slowly.
Mr. C. W. Whisonant has oienty
