The stalk was 5 feet 1 inch high, and had on it 3S5 fully matured bolls—100 of them picked out gave a yield of 11 pounds, which at the same rate would give as the total yield for the stalk 41 pounds of seed cotton.

The proposed school supplies a great need, and deserves to become one of the leading institutions of the town. ~ bill dal Sales. The following official sales were made on Monday by the Clerk of the Court: In the case of T. P. Kilgore et. al. vs. Geo. M.

Pursuant to the call of Mr. Lucas McIntosh, President of the County Farmers’ Alliance, a meeting of the Trustee-Stock holders of the several Sub-Alli- ences of the County was held in the Court House on Monday. The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain how much stock each Sub-Alliance would take in the State Exchange and to collect 25 perjeent. of the same and, further, to elect a County Trustee Stockholder, who will represent this County in Exchange having one vote every share subscribed by County. Major J. J called to the chair and innumerable, but'a slight men tion of a few that attracted the eye will not be inappropriate As usual, the first display that one saw on entering the main bmidmg was the art department. W hue this exhibit was not as good as usual there wore many specimens worthy of the hio-h- est encomiums. Conspicuous among these were the oil paint ings of Miss Mamie Traxler. She had quite a number of exhibits all of which were greatly ad- mired, but none more so than the oil painting upon a screen, which elicited universal praise. 1 he crayon drawing by Mas ter Walter Guerry, aged 10 years, showed the young boy’s talent aftd presages for him a successful future in such work. Mrs. S. S. Burch’s landscape in pastel was particularly notice able, and the winter scene, by Miss Ena Carrigan, deserves high commendation. The oil painting executed by Miss An nie Williamson and a crayon drawing, a figure piece, by Miss Margaret Cannon, were also much admired. A (log in crayon by Miss Laura Law, was certain ly one of the finest exhibits in this department. The display, in fancy work was particularly good. ‘One of the features in ‘this department mostly praised was the cross made of skeleton leaves, which intricate and delicate work was skilfully executed by Mrs. E. L Murray. The drawn work of -Miss Selmo Nonnon was beauti ful. One of the handsomest pieces of work to he seen in the building, and certainly one of the most difficult of execution, was the home made rug of Mrs. S. S. Burch. Every one admir ed it. The needle work was ex ceedingly good and perhaps ex celled any similar exhibit of previous years. There was also any quantity of crochet work, and a most commendable ab sence of rick-rack. In the floral exhibit every thing was neatly and tastefully arranged. Mr. G. 0. Hertz’s stand of flowers was beautiful to behold, and as a collection could not be surpassed. The palm, which stood in the centre of his exhibit, was the wonder and ad miration of every one. The three greenhouse plants of Mrs. H. E. P. Sanders, forming a group, made a remarkably pret ty picture, which would have pleased the most enthusiastic de votee of floriculture, as would al so the chrysanthemums of Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. J. C. Wilson. The household departments “B.” and “C.,” the former con sisting of preserves, jellies, cat sups, pickles,etc*.,and the latter of breads, biscuits, cakes, etc., were unusually well filled, and the articles on exhibition were of reference to ring at any one time as has been the case in previous years. The cattle filled all the stalls on the grounds and consisted ' of fine bred Jerseys, Holsteins, Grades and native cattle. A milch cow exhibited by Mr. J. D. McCall attracted universal attention. The poultry department was full, and the specimens were fine. From ihe complete premium list, which is published where, it will be seen who were i the fortunate competitors in each ! department. The weather be ing fine during the entire week, and all present seeming to enjoy themselves greatly, the Nine teenth Annual Fair will long be remembered as one of the most successful ever given by the Company. vocation which met in that city j on Wednesday. ! —Capt.

Hall, aged 65 years, died at his residence hero on Monday, November 3, after an illness of more than twelve months duration. ’Capt. Hall’s first situation in the South was as engineer on the South Carolina Railroad in 1850. During the war he went to Wilmington, N. C., and took charge of the Wil mington & Manchester Railroad verv ' shops in the capacity of master mechanic, which position he held until 1872. He then went into business but subsequently be- to J returned to his first love, and Alliance at j ran on the W. C. & A.

We learn that care lessness aral disobedience on the part of the boy was the cause of the accident. —County Treasurer Fountain put by a big day’s work at this place on Monday the 28th ult. He arrived early in the morning and worked until sundown re ceiving .over seven hundred dol lars. He thinks in the future he will have to give this place - two days. —We regret to learn of the death of Mr. D. D. Evans.
