A ruoaway couple met with a runaway accident in this county last week. A certain young ladys father objected to her marrying her lover, and So they determined to run away, and it turned out to be a double runaway, for after they had successfully eluded the old gentleman and were riding in a buggy to the preachers house the horse took a notion that he too would runaway: so off he started, broke the buggy all to pieces, threw out the happy couple, and came near making a tragic end of their tnp. Fortunately the lady was not injured at all, and though the young man was badly bruised, they went on and were married. We would call that a double runaway. Commissioners Meeting, The county commissioners held their regular meeting on last Monday and Tuesday.

The following accounts were audited and ordered to Buy Anything MORRIS, WYATT TAYLOR, (Successors to X. T. Norris Oo.) Cotton Factors Remember you can find it at W.L. LONDONS OH Interviewed. We have had the pleasure of meeting here on a visit to his old friends, Mr.

Thomas W. Harman, of Madison county, Indiana, an old Ghathamite, who removed from this county just thirty years ago this month. From Mr. Harman we learned many points that may be of interest to. our readers.

When he removed to Indiana the county, in which he lives, was almost a wilderness, only a few clearings, no public highways, and wolves, deer and game of all kinds were plentiful. Now, two railroads run within five miles of his farm, and another is building still nearer. In the neighboring village of Elmwood are a two-story brick public school-house, four churches, three steam saw-mills and other industries. Land is worth from twenty to sixty dollars an acre. The average yield of corn per acre' is fifty bushels, and of wheat twenty bushels.

Com is now selling at 40 cents and per bushel. Thousands of hogs are raised and are shipped alive to Cincinnati- The hogs are frequently fattened by turning them into the corn-field, instead of gathering the com and feeding them. No fertilizers are bought, and, instead of railroad stations being crowded wjth piles of gnano, they are crowded with piles of produce which bring money into the country instead of carrying it off, as is the case unfortunately with us. The most improved farming nten sils and labor-saving machines are used, such as sulky plows, wheatcutting machines, Ac. Our farmers might learn much useful information from Mr.

Harman. Mr. Harman has been a subscriber to the Record ever since its establishment, and says its weekly vists are most welcome like letters from home. GROCERS And General Conuoission nertiaits, No. Zxchasf and No.

OUUrJED GOODS AT COST AT ILONEPONg News and Observer: At a meeting of the Cotton Exchange yesterday it was resolved to prosecute all parties who sell false packed cotton in this market, and also any parties who pack so eh cotton. This is a proper plan to porsne. By false packed cotton is meant cotton which is of two grades, low grade in the middle of the bale and good cotton outside. It is said that a pious member of one of onr Chatham churches was guilty of such trick, a few years ago.

Such rascals ought to be sent to the penitentiary Ed. Record Statesville Landmark On two hills, within hollering distanoe of each other, in Tornersbarg township this county, there live two neighbors. They have thus lived for thirty-four years, their fences joining, and the usual neighborly relations, snch as borrowing and lending, being all the time maintained. There has never been a quarrel or a difference, great or small, between them. They have voted at every election for thirty-four years; neither has ever asked the other in advance how he expected to vote, and yet thev have never voted differently.

We commend their example to all neighbors. Ed. Record. Charlotte Observer: Redmond, the famona moonshiner, passed through the city yesterday, going from Greenville to Albany, New York, to begin to serve out a sentence of ten years which he received at Greenville a few days siocew He was neatlj dressed and looked cheerful aud talked freely. He said, with a smile, that be hoped President Garfield would get well speedily as he thought the Presidents recovery would shorten the time he would have to 8 pend in prison.

He was confident that he would not serve out his entire term, anyway. He expects to be pardoned and come back and be a gentleman, he said. He held one of the sensational histories of his life iu his hand and remarked to the gentleman from whom these facts are obtained There is one word of truth in this, holding np the book, and that is my name. Moore Gazette: Some time ago, in Ben Sslem township, while Mr. Josiah Allen was going across Cabin creek, about the plantation of Mr.

Lockey Allen, he found a snake about three feet iu length, in color unlike any he had ever seen before. He approached and struck it with a stick, wounding it, and at the wound young snakes about six inches long begau to crawl out and lick out their tongues at him. Mr. A. made use of his stick, killing all that came numbering 55.

He thou went on to the barn, where a number of men were threshing, and told his story. Four others went back with him to see the cariosity, again struck the old snake, aud there crawled out 66 more, which were served like the first Mr. R. put them on his Bat carefully one by one, and carried them -to, the barn that all might see them 121 snakes killed in one spot Who can beat this? Reidsville Times: We hear that one old native of Buncombe, a Mr. Pullman, speaking of Judge Merri-mon, told Mr.

J. It Webster that the first time he ever remembered seeing Merrimon was one day at Merrv mons fathers saw mill, when he noticed him a mere boy dressed iu a tow shirt, tow pants, a chip hat and barefooted, sitting on the end of a log reading a Websters dictionary. The next time he heard of him some gentleman was speaking of a distinguished Senator who was Baid to have few equals in ability in the United States, and, on inquiring who it was he referred to, was told Senator Merrimon.

J. R. Lank; Dear Sir: On the 10th day of June last, as I was pursuing my usual vocation, I was reminded that that was the twentieth anniversary of a very interesting: and important event to a portion of- the young men of Chatham and also of Randolph. My mind was carried away back yonder to the 10th day of Jane. 1861.

when there was an assemblage of persons of all ages aud both sexes on the beautiful grass-ploi in Capt. Matthews yard at Matthews Cross Roads. Conspicuous in that group were about one hundred young men. who had met there on that day lor the purpose of organizing themselves into a company fot the Confederate service, which they did, and styled themselves Chatham Boys, afterwards Company G. 2tli Reg.

N. C. T.t ex-Governor now Senator Vances Regiment. After thinking of the many hopes and fears, disappointments, bereavements. and the maDj, many changes that we have all experienced since that time, these, reflections took on a practical form which I wish to send to yoa.

suggest that at some time during the pleasant part of this year, at as leisure a time as can be selected, that the survivors of Company G. meet at Capt. Matthews and appoint committees on various objects, let every member of the company be on seme committee, these committees to report on the 10th day of June next at that place. I will name some of the objects, which you will please revise One committee to ascertain liow many of Company fell in battle, also by disease, and their names: committee on the number living and their namep: committee to get up the number of messes in the company, and who composed each mess (they were numbered you remember 1. 2, 3, committee on the camp changes and names of said camps committee on the changes of officers of Company G.

Yon can suggest others. At our anniversary next June, let the survivors take their rations, and act out camp life and take them picnic fashion. Oa that occasion have the roll of the company called as we did in the army, the absentees noted and accounted for, and in that exercise let any member of the company make any remarks proper abont those who have passed away, and also relate any pleasing and interesting incident that came under his observation during the war. 1 offer these thoughts for your consideration. You may deem the matter unwise, impolitic or untimely.

With much respect, I remain your obt. Oko. C. Underwood. Brush Creek, N.

I will lake great pi enure in doing anything I can to carry out yonr suggestions and do hereby invite all the Company, who are friendly to your proposition, to meet us at Capt.

Matthews on Friday, October 7, 1881. And we would also be glad to see as many of Company E. as could attend. At this meeting we can arrange our plans. Having a high regard fur the whole command, whose history I would- not be asbamed, but proud to eee published, I will suggest that all the other companies of the old 2 6 ill Regiment hold sin: ilar.

meetings, and at their meetings appoint a corresponding Secretary whose duty it shall be to ascertain the propriety of Laving a meet log of the whole Regiment at some convenient time and place, where we can invite our old Colonel, now Senator Vance, to be with us.

cl. sept. tan Circus and Brought. In view of the unprecedented drought that now afflicts our people and the fears of a famine, it would seem natural that everybody would spend money only for the necessaries of life, and yet thousands of dollars will be squandered on circuses. Hundreds of people from this count', who will probably suffer during this winter, will attend the circus to-morrow at Raleigh or on Saturday at Sanford.

Well, such is life, to-day we dance, to-morrow we die The Brought. The drought still continues. If, weeks ago, we thought it was so very dry, what shall we say now It is not only dry but it has been oppressively. hot for the past week even the nights being hot, whereas last month the nights were quite pleasant. No amount of rain could now save our crops -they are parched np but would be a blessing to man and beast by furnishing drinking water.

Yes, it has become a very serious matter to get water enough to drink. The people of Chatham will have cause to long remember the drought of this year. It is beyond all doubt the severest that has ever been known in this county. Aug. 11.
