settle down again the victors celebrated tbe election of a Republican President once more by a and later sup per and the raising of a flag at the court house at Taylorsville I suppose they think that Gen Lee has just sur rendered and that we have just gotten back into tbe Union as they hoisted a flag the stars and stripes at their sum supper The following positions were assigned the different ones jf any should think tbe writer has got his name to tbe wrong position he will gladly make correction next week Tbe places were assigned to each for bis work in bringing about this victory and the more and belter the worker tbe better place he is to receive irst on the list comes the stump tailed bull of the Brusbies Liuney Hie friends select district attorney for him but he thinks that fish commissioner would suit him better as he has paid more attention to flab culture than to practice iu the United States court for tbe last four years Bogle of the star chamber court comes in for promotion saying that be did great things for the party He thinks be should at least get to be messenger in the office but has some fears that Henry Dean colored may want his old place again for services rendered Next comes in Win Deal saying that be worked hard but was iu such a position that Le could not tell during the canvass which party he would support and failed to be elected register of deeds and that now he wants to be mail agent ou the Junc bug train if the Charlotte negro who was on before the present agent or sorqe other of the dark race come in for it again At this stage of the proceedings Barber Torrence comes in and says be has tbe same name of the present white mail agent aud be did much aud loud work for the parly and that being a school teacher and a bar ber he could fill the place So here they have trouble again Tbo third man to rise (that is I name the third white man) is Bob West He says ffe has had experience as town constable and that the best aud most suitable place for him would be deputy marshal but the crowd seemed to think be ought to go as min ister toTabrador or some place up near tbe North Pole among tbe Esquimos It was agreed by all that Jacob Moose should go as Indian agent to Santa to take Carter place Gen Jere Smith was recommended for pension agent at Knoxville or Nashville Tenn Smith for chief architect of the public budding al Stabesville or Charlotte with Moose and Sloop to have good places under him Dr A Kerley another defeated candidate thought postmaster would suit him Dr II McD Little one of the orators last week comes

raider Chaplain Millstead was recom mended for a place on the Geological Survey Later Millstead has decided that he would rather be jailer as be thinks be knows more about the place or would rather get acquainted with it The writer may have made some mistakes in getting the above places correct but he was at some disadvan tage as be was not in the meeting aud could bear but little and had to gather the news as best be could If anything has been omitted or misstated be will gladly correct aud make the apology he wants to see all get good places But I was about to forget Joe Hines of color who was unanimously chosen for minister to Hayti as all agreed he was a good potato digger New Convent Gwaltney Township Alexander Co November 14 1888 CoL Alien nod Ihe Alliance To the Editor of The Landmark Will you please insert the following card in your paper or a number of years my most care ful thought has boen devoted to ways and means for benetitting the hard working farmer of North Carolina in whose interest I have done what I could xs is well known tbe farmers of Iredell after having met in private and public and given the subject due consideration organized county aud township clubs for mutual help and improvement It is perhaps therefore not to be wondered at that we were somewhat jealous iu guarding our orig inal organizations here at a time when they seemed about to be Intel fered with by the North Carolina State Alliance which we then suspected to have been formed for political purposes I in particular advised my farmer friends to wait and see before joining it into what the society was going to develop After observing its progress attentive ly I am now convinced that I was mis taken iu my earlier judgment and I believe the speediest way for farmers to help themselves and advance their material welfare is througli tbe Alli ance of which I am pleased to say I have just become a member While I shall not neglect the organi zations nor cease to attend aud work with them earnestly I still feel war ranted in hoping that all our farmers will join tbe State Alliance for I am persuaded that through that associa tion greater results are to be accom plished than through any other Sec tarianism and indiscriminate opposition to tbe interests of people outside of it are not tolerated but I am satisfied that it is equipped for very practical op position to oppressive imposition and fraud and that if originally it was swayed by politics it is not so now Respectfully Julian Allen Statesville Nov 12 1888 Election of A Oflicvra At the semi annual election
