Then everybody, prohibitionist and anti prohibitionist will say, "How nice it was done." At the quarterly meeting at Obeth, on Table Rock circuit, which embraced last Saturday and Sunday, nearly six hundred dollar was subscribed by the congregation at the Sunday morning service for the building of a new church at that place, which is badly needed.

The present church is entirely too small for the regular attendance and is about sixty years old. The members say they intend to have a thousand dollar church at an early day. Our friend, Elijah Cooper, called iu to pay his subscription last week and asked us to send a copy of The Star to a friend of his in a Western State said he thought of writing a letter to his friend, but as Tiie Stak contained so much more local news than he could write, he wanted him to have the paper.

C. Aveiiy. How Morganton Other Towns. Differs lroni It is a noticeable fact that the people of Morganton differ from those of other towns in this particular: During the summer season our town is alive with visitors so much so that one would think that the hotels and boarding houses were filled to overflowing. But upon enquiry the lact is re vealed that a majority these visitors are the guests of their friends and relatives, by invitation.

Now to a person who makes dollars and cents their only con sideration, this would look like bad financiering, but to the kind and hospitable people of Morgan-ton it does not look that way. While many other up country towns are straining every nerve and bidding for high priced boarders to fill up their houses, the people of Morganton throw open their doors, or, iu other words, put the string attached to the latch, outside the door, and say to their friends, "Come and share with us, without money and without price." Rape in Xancey. The Asheviile Citizen says: From Mr. C. R.

Bird, of Yancey, who was in the city yesterday, we learn thut on Friday last a little negro girl by the name of Connal-ly, aged about ten years, and living a few miles east of Burnsville, was brutally outraged by a negro fiend named Robert Higgins. The girl is in a desperate condition and not expected to recover. Higgins was at once arrested by the sheriff, who afterwards permitted him to enter his (Higgins') house to get his coat, when he eluded the officer aud made good his escape. Up to yesterday Higgins had not been recantured. Loud threats of lvnchiin? made by the colored neonle of tlut section should the rape fiend be caught.

The Fanners' Club. In accordance with a previous notice, a large number of the farmers and other citizens of the county met at the court house last Saturday for the purpose of or ganizing a farmers' club. The object stated was to advance the farming interests of the county and to bring about a more perfect system in cultivating the different cereals that our climate is best adapted to, and for the general enlightenment of the tillers of the soil. Mr. S.M.

Asbury was ailed to the chair and Mr. Mac Ross was requesty to act as secretary. The constitution and by-laws for the government of the County Line club was adopted for the government of this club by a unanimous vote. About sixty persons enrolled their names as members of this club. The next meet ing will be held at the court tiouse on next Saturday at 11 o'clock sharp, at which time permanent ofiicers will be elected.

full attendance is requested. Burned to Death. One of the most heart rendering accidents that we have been called upon to chronicle for a long time occurred near Gibbs, P. in this county, last Wednesday a week. Mrs.

Wm. Wise was at her home, all alone, with the exception of her little infant child. She was preparing dinner for her husband and other members of the family, who were at work in the field. She placed some dough in an oven, put the lid on it and heaped coals of lire on the lid. As she turned around to walk away dress came in contact with coals of fire on the oven lid her the aud to a caught on fire.

She first ran bed, expecting: to smother the flames, but failed, and from excitement and suffocation she fainted, and when her husband came to the house for dinner he was utterly astonished and overcome with grief to find his lying prostrate and unconcious and so badly burned that she was almost unrecognizable. In a few hours she recovered sufficiently to tell the particulars of the sad accident. After intense suffering during the night, she died the next day, Thursday. Every assistance that a kind and sympathetic community could do was done; but the flames had done their work ami her spirit returned to Him who gave it. For the Legislature.

To the Editor ot Tlio Morganton Star Several names have been suir- gestecLas fit Representatives for Burke county. It makes little difference to us who is nit forward so he is honest, capable, and can be elected. It is not every man who can canvass and meet the trieky Radicals at every turn. They are keeping, very quiet iu the hope wo will make a weak nomination. There is no mistake about one man I can name being able to "walk their log" the whole ca-poodle of 'em, if we could get him to agree to run.

That man is Major James W.Wilson. It would be a serious loss to him to give up his present work to do this, but if it can't be safely trusted to other hands, I am for calling ou him. LlMVlLLE. Tabernacle Association. Rutherford College, N.
