A Choke BniMiag Lot for Five Dollars.
An agent has b en canv4*siug
tho Town for tbe purpose of obtain
ng purchasers for d *irable build-
ng lots in ‘*Nebo City,” North
Carolina, which be proposes to sell
at five dollar* each. It is said that
several of our citicens have been
induced to invest in these lot*,

unknown to lame, we would sug
gest l|p»t those who contemplate
parebasing lots within its charm

well before coming to a conclusion.
A Business Change.
Attention is oaltod to ths fact
that Mr. J. Gregg McCall, one of
oar moat enterprising and reliable
BMirchants, has reoeatly made a

of tbe roll r.vealrd the fact that right luj
there were present aevyaly eighnedone ft
W. Williams were elected delegates
to tbe 8tato Con venlioa, while those
who are to go to tbe District Con-
vontioa am Jordan Lang, A. W.
White, Alfred' Robinson, 'Richard
Lang, Doctor Davi*, Thomas Mc
Intosh and Peter Johnson. It ia
alleged by those wbe beard tbe
count that t e returns were (> doc-
tored” by Dess so that he put in
just tbe delegates he w»> n ted without
having the slighteet regard to tbe
actual votes cast. The reporter is
an*ble to vouch for this, however,
as he reached the Court House
after the result of the election had
been announced, and just in time
to heal an old gray-haired darkey
remark as he was leaving the build
iog **Dog ef 1 ain’ got uougb er dis
yere km’ er doius.”
At tbi* stage of the proceedings,
A. W. White, of Florence, whob*d
been jumping up and down like a
“Jack-in tbe box” during the entire
ns, nvoee and oflered
tuls 01
meeting, nvose and oflered some
very fulsome resolutions, intnored to
have been prepared by Deae, ad
vocating John Sherman as tbe Re
publican candidate for thePreei-
deoey. As soon as the resolutions
were read, Dess jumped to bis fret,
socket! and pruned for a
which he bad prepar.-d for
easiou, exclaiming as he did so,
“Mr. Chairman and gentleman of
tho Convention,” forgetting for the
time that he was himself “Mr
Chair mas.” Some delegate called
hfe attention to this fact, whereupon
Deae called Richard Lang to the
chair, aad took the floor to speak
oa the resolutions. At the hands
of hfe dusky admirer Sherman ie-
ceived a most extravagant and
bombastic eulogy. The speaker,
daring most of nis discourse, com
pfetoly ignored the eonventioo, and
advancing to tha head of the aisle
took his stand facing the door, and
directed all ot his remarks and
grotesque gestures at knit a dross
white men who were present as
amused spectators just inside the
Court House door. Hu gave it as
his opisioa that Sherman would
aarry the entire North, and that,
while ho would not fle- all the dele
gates from the Sooth, it wastbeda* y
of the ».ath Carolina Republican*
to support tbfe groat mao. Tbe
uoaveotlon spparaatly did uot enter
iato the spirit of the remarks made
by the distinguished speaker, lor
just at the times when h«- was most
dram tic, sod when it was evidently'
desired tbst the effect should be
greatest, some of them would break
imt into rather derisive Uaghter
“John Sherman” said Doas, “was
in public life before 1 was elected,”
(“before be wa* bom,” is doub lea-'
what tbe speaker meant,) and I do
not best ate to assert t<-at be i* one
of-the greatest jCsaBoersof the day.
