Prof. Wm. Baker, arrived ou
Saturday aud has been busy since
he came. He is now head of the
largest music House in tbe thriving
city of Charlotte. Being a flue
musiciau, as well as a master work
man in musical instruments, he is
well qualified to tune aud repair
pianos, organs, aud other instru
ments, and does a large amount of
this work every season.
A visit to the Factory Monday
afternoon, showed that tbe com
pany has bad a general cleaning up
of tbe mill yard, streets aud lots in
their village. The whole property
presents a neat appearance aud tbe
vegetable gardens aud flower plants
show that the operatives are trying
to make their homes pleasant.
Several matters of interest were
noted. The Mill has been in opera
tion since last June. The whole
outfit was new, aud most of the
hands were inexperienced. Yet
there has been not a single acci
dent to engine or machinery, ex
cept what coaid be repaired im
mediately. That is, that the engine
has not beeu stopped by accident
to itselt cr connections. There has
been po settling of the building or
derangement of gearing or shafting,
and the machinery to day is better
fitted and can turn out more work
than at first. By judicious selec
tion an excellent corps ot employees
are at work, many of them trained
in the mill, and now beginning to
earn first class wages. Most of the
work is done by the piece or pound
and thus a baud gets pay in pro
portion to work done. Id addition
to the styles of cloth mentioned in
our last, we noted a sample of 40
inch, 48x52 goods made to fill a
special order. The standard drills
aud plains of this mill, from the
demand tor them, seem to be at the
top of the market for quality and
finish. Heavy shipments of goods
are made twice a week, tbe cars
being loaded at the mill, by means
of a side track, aud the mill has
orders for all the goods produced.
The next annual meeting of the
stockholders will be held next
month, at which time we expect
that tbe derectors will be able to
make as good, if not a better, show
ing for the first year of operating
as any other new mill ever built.
LAMAR.
—Miss Emma King has just
opened a very neat aud well select
ed stock of millinery goods at this
place.
—The child of Mr. Jacob Spears,
whom we have also mentioned as
being very sick, passed away ou
the 31st ult.
—Mr. G. W. Stith’s little boy has
been quite sick, but under the treat
ment ot Dr. Palmer, is now much
better.
—Our items have been appear
ing a week later in the News than
we intended The lault however
has been altogether ours.
—A few days ago your reporter
visited tbe Centre—bis ol I home,
and as is usual with those people
he found every thing bngut aud
well greased.
—Mr. Wm. Reynolds, of whom
we spoke some time ago as being
very low, died ou Saturday, tbe 3rd
inst. Mr. Reynolds leaves a wite
aud five children.
—Found on Monday morning the
5tb, in Lamar, a No. G or No. 7 shoe
heel. From •} pearances supposed
to belong to a single man. Owner
cau have the same by calling on
your reporter and relating the cir
cumstances under w hich tbe beel
was lost.
—We had concluded to ask the
News if it would not be in ruding
upon its columns, tbatiu order that
its readers might see both sides ol
the picture to publish not only re
plies to objections by Dr, Alexau
tier in Baptut Courier, but also tbe
articles writeu bv tbe objectors
when our Ebenezer friend t ned out
for “fair play.” Dr. Alexander is
a “brick,” aud throws a good peu.
Hoyt, Griftrith, Sanders aud others
are also “bricks” of an excellent
old mould, and right bard to ciush.
We have been keeping very well
up in this discussion, aud am satis
tied so tar as argument goes. Could
not some one who is convenient
band ad of tbe numbers of the
Baptist Courier containing this dia-
cusatou to'^he N RWM
"Tbknezkr.
—Gardens arc now ready for the
cutworms.
—Cotton is receiving tbe no
divided attention^ of farmers just
now, very little planted up to date
—Every confederate sob ier and
white Demociat in Booth Carolina
that ploughs an ox aud gives a lien
on his crop, are tbe men who’s sons
should be the beneficiaries in tbe
8. C. College. And if B. K. Tilmau
puts this plank in his platform we
will vote his ticket without a coou
dog thrown in.
—It seems to us that an invita
tion to the Editor of the News to
visit, aud sample tbe scale, minor,
and leather Carp sent to numerous
fish growers in Ibis cou ty, is now
in order. His report on their edible
qualities will satisfy bis readers as
to tbe merits ot tb s indus ry. Be
sides bis looks show thst he has
passed through a bard winter, anil
a fish regime for some wteks w*«uld
have a beneficial effect in buihltug
up his lean frame to tbe size of a
turtle fed alderman.
—Now is the time to sow your
gourd-, the long neck kind will at
tain a more perfect growth when
planted near a lenre, the higher the
fence 'die longer the handles. 5$ug
gourds the 8|»ecie8 onr neighbor
uses iu harvesting huckleberrys,
will do best if allowed to spread
over the ground. The gourd worm
has been extinct since Jonah com-
pleted his missionary tour. Gourd
grangers need not let their slumbers
be disturbed ou this account.
Follow the above direction and an
abuiiiiittit harvest will icwarU }our
labors
—Your “Torch light procession,”
at that much named X Roads,
Ynba-Lisbon and now Lamar, with
L. Q. C. left out, seems to bave an
18 year olu dog ou his brain or an
accnte case of hydrophobia. As
“Pasteur,” is out oi reach and hav
ing the greatest esteem for this
good citizen, we suggest the appli-
catit u of carbolic soap every 15
miuutes for 15 days ; it might ren
ovate bis broken down constitution.

—The town election came off ou
tbe 12th iusteut, and passed off
without a single row, notwithstand
ing that there was very much in
terest manifested on both sides, and
the canvass was a lively one indeed.
Hon. W. A. Brunson aud the entire
Citizen’s Ticket were duly elected
by a majority of twenty-five votes.
The official count was as follows.
For Inteudaut—W. A. Brunson,
241; W. H. Day, 216. For War-
dans—P. H Walsh 241 ; O. G.
Lynch 216; G. C. Cole 250; John
Kuker 210; E. R Roberts 415; R
A. McCorkle 295; F. U. Hudson
161. Tbe registered vote of the
town was 493 (about 35 or 40 short
of the voting population of the
town) aud the entire vote cast at
this election was 36 short of the
registration. The “Boh Tails” are
all jubilant, and in good humor
with all the other side, who look
disappointed, but there is a general
content as to voice of the people.
All interests are safe iu tbe bands
of our new Council, and our town
will have a progressive and conser
vation Town Council. The “Bob
Tails” bad to work against terrible
odds, and nothing but tbe hardest
kind of work ou their part brought
them the victory as they did not
spend one cent. Phoenix.
WARDS VILLE.
—I; is too ecld to plant cotton
down here, and not many of our
fanners are ready to plant. Corn
that is up is looking very sickly.
—We don’t “catch on,” but we
are led to think that some one is
lost again, or that they were hunt
ing snuff and toothbrushes when
they got lost before. You can’t get
any more gum-berries at present,
they are not in season.
—The farmers of this community
have organized a Farmer’s Club,
called “The Wardsville Farmer’s
Club,” with Capt. W E. McKnight
as President, and Mr. Jas. Lawbou
as Secretary. There were thirteen
farmers present at tbe organization
ot tbe club At the last meeting of
the club Mr. J. B Morris read quite
anii tcresting essay on Free Trade,
billowed by several speeches from
other members 1 have no doubt
but that The Wardsville Farmer’s
Club will be one of inti rest and im-
portance, for it has for its officers
two men of brilliant minds, full of
energy and zeal, and who will do
their duty to the best of their abili
ty.
