7" PEBSQIAL JJi LgyOIR TOPIC TisDAY. NOV. 23, 192 TARIFF. TARIFF. H03 ABOUT THE HEY? LI1IVILLE RAILROAD? FREE COINAGE OF SILVER Don't fail to subscribe for The Topic, the conservative people's paper, tha prints all the news and keeps its reader posted about all the intending events of the world's history.

You cannot do without The Topic, now khat tu Democrats are victorious, as well as you could during the campaign. Mr. R. Estes, who has been living at Cottonwood, Idaho, for several years, has moved to Cornwall, Idaho, "where he will stay about a year. He will not sell bis Cottonwood property.

Cottonwood is booming, a new railroad is being built and town lots are being staked out to Mr. Estes' gate, half a mile from town. John Lingley in jail on the the charge of feloniously killing John Jenkins, was carried before Judge John Gray Bynum, "at Morganton, on Saturday, on a writ of habeas corpus, for the purpose of applying for bail. After hearing the evidence Judge Bynum allowed Lingle to be released upon filing a bond in the sum of $5,000. Tho people of the county should understand that! the prospect of this county getting the railroad is hanging in a balance." The" least bit of sef fishness or illiberality manifested by our people may be the means of turning aside from Cald well and Lenoir the most important and valuable investment of capital we have ever hadj a chance at The Statesville Landmark learns that Col.

W. Williams, of The Topic does not pretend to be a prophet and it would not for the world say "I told you so but, if you will look at its files and' read up from the beginning of tbe cam-paign to the election, you will fin out that it is a pretty good gaesser. Every prediction it made, has come true, from the election of Cleveland, Carri Bower, Patterson and Jones to the assertion that Patton was' not in it. Bower received nearly five times as many votes as Pat- ton. The official figures of the Watauga 'Congressional vote, whigh gave Bower a plurality of 152, are yet bear from.

Without these figures Bower's vote is 15,999, Wil-' cox's 12,439 and Patton's 3,402. Without Watauga Bower's plurality over Wilcox is 3,560 and his major ity over both Wilcox and Patton 158. With Watauga Bower will still have a majority over both. With Watauga Bower's plurality over Wilcox is Without Watauga Bower's plurality over Patton is 12,597. The Topic has acted fair and square with its campaign subscribers.

It was determined they should know the final result if it had to be sent to them all winter. This issue tells the story. Now, they all ought to have The Topic all winter to see how things go at Washington. The Topic is a mighty cheap paper. The children all like to read it.

This is the last copy a good many will get unless they subscribe. See that your parents subscribe for it, young people. Now the time. It will never be as cheap again. Probably no other county in the State was more thoroughly organized in respect to Democratic clubs than Caldwell.

Those clubs ought all to be made permanent institutions and their central organization, should be perfected and placed on a solid foundation. Each club has its corps of officers who will hold over until another election of officers is held. The Secretary of the General Association of Democratic clubs, Lawrence Gardner, is making arrangements for rates for clubs at the inauguration. Rev. W.

He is a Prussian and was converted to Christianity by an incident that occurred during his service in the Franco-Prussian war at the battle of Sedan.

May God speed the day: when this shall reach all parts of our land, and when all shall be engaged in the Sunday School work, and aiding the building up of the Temple of God and the pulling down of the stronghold of Satan.

Of all the noble works that we mortals can engage in I consider it among the first. It is the work in which all can engage from, the least to the greatest. May the good work go on conquering and to conquer, till: it shall reach the most remote of earth, and may the blessings of God attend, it and those who are now groping their way in darkness will soon be brought into' the mar velons light and liberty of the people of God "And the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Wm.
