Sept. 16 Our neighbor, Jefferson Hartley, died on the 16th, aged 73 years, 8 months and two days. He joined the Baptist Church at Three Forks 51 years ago and died a member of the Flat Top Church. He leaves an aged companion, nine children and a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. Brother Hartley was the first set tier on Flat Top Mountain, and through all his life he lived upon tho the fruits of bis own labor, dealing honestly with his neighbors.

This earthly tabernacle is dissolved but he goes to a mansion not fash' ioned with hands, eternal in the heavens. Our sympathy is with his family who are so deeply sorrowing in this domestic affliction. As a citizeb, Mr. Hartley was much respected and our community loses a worthy member who liked, and was liked by everybody. Our loss is his eternal gain.

Bept At the late term of Burke Court there was gathered together a Urge number of lawyers and others from veri ous sections of the district and, of course, a good deal of political pre, figuring was indulged in.

It was pretty generally concluded that most of the "Liberal element that cted with" the Republicans in the last campaign has returned to the old ark. John Morphew. of Boone, is back in ranks and. it is stated, George Bow er, of Jefferson, is a stronger Demo crat than ever. The fact is, there was never any harmonious amalga mation of the Old line Republicans with the new comers.

In the vari ous Conversations had in the hotels, last week, I heard it stated by some one that your countryman, Albert F. Estes, a leading Republican in old times, is rather disgusted with Efott-ism and that he is no Republican to hurt. It is stated, authoritatively from. Adams, that he will not be a candi date for the SoKcitorship again. Among the young aspirants for tne position Ike Avery, of Morganton, aad Will Newland.
