Tuttle died, after a lingering illness of about two years. Mr. Tuttle was the oldest citizen of Lenoir and was one of the first men to cast his lot in this town many years ago. He was about 82 years of age, and was a member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral services were conducted in the Presbyterian church by Revs.

Jarvis Buxton and D. C. Stimson, and his body was interred in the cemetery. A more extended notice of Mrr Tuttle will be published next week. There has been talk of changing the mail route between Lenoir and Morgan ton sometime, and we expect the change will soon take place.

The Morganton Herald says: "Mr. M. Tuttle, of Hartland, informs us that a petition has been forwarded to the post office depart ment, asking that the mail route between Morganton and Lenoir be so changed that mail will leave Lenoir in the morning, reach Morgan ton at noon, and return to Lenoir in the afternoon, instead of starting from Morganton in the morning as now. The petition for the change indicated has grown out of the fact that the bridges across John's river and across the Catawba at Rocky Ford are so often down, that the postoffices along the route are deprived of mail service of ton for several days at a time." 1 Buy and Try Our Gentg Nobby Crush and Derby Hatti. to call and see me before making their purchases It Is Clsxrly Stated In a Litter ta Gut-ercor Korthaa.

Atlanta, Sept 27. Gov. Northen has received a letter from President Cleveland, in whch the President states his position on the financial question at some length. The letter is in reply to one written by Governor Northen on the 15th The governor refuses to give his letter eut for publication, but it is known that it presented a graphic condition of the political situation in Georgia and the South, and urged upon the President the expediency of a public utterance from aim more comprehensive than hia recent message as to the proper policy to be pursued by Congress upon questions affecting the stringency of the times and the needs of the people. He dwelt especially upon the financial condition and political unrest of the farmers of the South, who constitute so great a proportion of the Democracy.

The President's reply is as follows: Executive Washington, C. Sept. 25. i Hon. W.

J. Nosthen: Mt Deab Sib: 1 hardly know how to reply to your letter of the 15th instant It seems to me that I am quite plainly on record con-, cerning the financial question. My letter accepting the nomination to the Presidency, when read in connection with the message lately sent to the Congress in extraordinary session, appears to me to be very explicit, I want currency that is stable and safe in the hands of the people. I will not knowingly be implicated in a condition that will justly make me in the least degree answerable to any laborer or farmer in the United for a shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar he has received for a full dollar's worth" of work, or for a good del tar's worth of the product "of his toil. I not only want our currency to bf such a character that jl kinds of dollars will be of equal 'purchasing power at home, but I want it to to be of such a character as will demonstrate abroad our wisdom and good faith, thus placing us upon a firm foundation and credit among the nations of the earth.

I want our financial conditions and the laws relating to our currency so safe and reassuring that those who havo money will spend and invest it in businesa and new enterprises, instead of hoarding it- You cannot cure fright by calling it foolish and unreasonable, and you Cannot prevent the frightened man from hoarding his money. I want good, sound and stable money, and a condition of confidence that will keep it in use. Within the limits of what I have written, I am a friend of silver, but I believe its proper place in our currency can only be fixed by a readjustment of our currency legislation and the inauguration of a consistent and comprehensive financial scheme. I think such a thing can only be entered upon profitably and hopefully after the aepeal of the law which is charged with all our financial woes. In the present state of the public mind, this law cannot be built upon, nor patched in such a way as to relieve the situation.

I am therefore opposed to the free and unlimited coinage, of sjlver by. this country alone and independent ly; and I am in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman law. I confess I am astonished by the opposition iu the Senate to such prompt action as would relieve the present unfortunate situation. My daily prayor in that the delay occasioned by suoh opposition may not be the oause of plunging the country into deeper depression than-it has yet known, and that the Democratic party may not be justly held; responsible for suoh a oatastrophe. Yours, very truly, Gbover Cleveland.

To the Editor oj Jhe Lenoir Toptc Though I am a member of no church, and do not claim to baye been "born again," I wish to say a few words to the Christian people of Caldwell county; Yesterday, the 24, I visited the camp ground at Gamewell Marvin Campground and noticed that the arbor was going to pieces. Now, this should be attended to at onoe.

There should be some one appointed to take subscriptions to recover the arbor. Seventy-five dollars is a small amount and that amount will buy enough shingles to recover all of it. Some say, "Oh, the whole concern should be stopped; there ought not to be any camp meeting, but I beg to djaagree with those who are in favor of letting the grounds go under. I have heard some say Wo can not have good campmeetings like we use to, tho people do not heed the of the gospel," but uci cpe knows the effect a sermon haa on the congre tiou. Some think that unless you have some big shouting, the spirit of the Lord was.

not in the vicinity. I 4o not want anyone to understand me aa being against shouting, but I claim there has been great good accomplished in meetings where not a shout was heard. 1 Now, being that I write for the ones that are not church members, let some good old member say something for the members on this subject. Yes, there are too many good sermons delivered at Marvin every Very respectfully, R. G.
