Sloan and found him tt his beautiful home and aa kiud and clever as ever. Up to this time, Messrs. Lowrance acd Barkley had been at a loss to kaow whst was the matter dowti herf, at cot having yet found a single Populist. I had the honor of introducing Mr. B.

to Mr. as his brother aud at close range too, and noticed that Mr. B. tad met with wci-derful relief, and it even looked like a tiJbl wave had struck Mr. B.

to think that even one could be foutid who thought as he thought, and had it net been for the wise acd judicial of Messrs. Lowe and Wiltou, he might have yet been picniciiig around Mr. Sieass and tfeXTg Iredell county at the rate of 82 00 per day. I think the Lf gisla- ture did good set wt6n it gave Mr. B.

Ibid jfei.ef, for in this job, be car, if he will, get sufficiently remunerated for what he Caa dene. And he should then g6t back into the Democratic pariy where he belongs, with the exception cf hia protection ideas- We arrived at Belmont about 2 o'clock and canvassed the town for corn to leed our horses, which was of no avail. We then sent out a scout to ecour the country for some thirg to feed on. This being done we began looking around for some-thing for ourselves and after makiDg tho rouiid we bunched what we had secured from seversl Etorea together ana found we had one can of peaches, two cans of tomatoes, one can cf corned beef, twenty four eoda crackers and a sack cf salt. After seme trouble we secured a pan, a worn out crtter and after purchasing a cheap set of spoons, we preceded to divide cut this scanty supply for our crowd until we cculd get to wbeie there was a more bountiful supply acd more variety.

After thankicg the towu for doicg the best it could we instructed them to order a gocd supply at once as we were coming back that way again and did not want to fast. As we stepped cut of the stor we saw our scout coming at a two-forty gait with a half bushel of corn. This we divided amoiig our horBes and after they had eaten it we journeyed or, asd ight found us at your cor- repcndeci's Louie in company with Yv'ilscii arid Barkhy. We iione the best we could to make them comfortable and eepeeiahy Mr. Berk ley, 85 know him to be an ardent Populist.

I erjoy having the Populist brethren visit for I believe the wayward 'sons" ought to be en couraged to come back within tha walls acd given a chance to repent. It is cur duty to kill the fatted cslf and liibi them while they dr with This was created to open the dams so as to make fi-h wajt; and it can be said that these ara the boys to do it, and if all were ULe Mr. they might stay on the river and watch tte btnks from year year, (or 'iillrhe bill was repealed), and draw their 82.00 per day. We don't know what better relief brother Barkley should wish, and if he will arracge bis business so he can put iu his fuli time, beirg a shepherd cf tish he can become an expert at tte business, and new is hia chance we thick to make a special study of the calure and habits of the water fowl.

The crops are generally in fine con dition, Some fay the cool nights have hurt cotton some, but for our part we don't approve of the rumor. Wheat acd tbe few oats that was sown last fall are uncommonly good, and both are beginning to get ripr. So soon we will lay down the plow and the hoe, And instead take in hand the cradle and the blade, And forward march to the harvest fields, And reap the staple that feeds the nation.

We spent last Saturday at Sf. Ma ry's and took in the game of bad between the Mt. Island and College boys, and we consider that while th Ecore stood 10 to 9 in favor of the College boys, that Mt. Island did College boys up. The College boys wreon their own grounds acd it is said practiced a great real and sometimes on Sunday, so they have nothing to brag on in this game.

Oar actual picnic and rally will come tfi this year on Aug. 3rd. Some of i he finest speakers in the State will be here, a fine game of ball, a grand tourneyment will be a pait of the program.

A few in town are making earthquakes a special study, and it is a wonder that some of their learned ideas and expressions don't make the earth quake again. The dam age as only slight. A stove flue or two and a few loose bricks from chimneys were shaken down and the plastering in some houses badly cracked is about the extent of damage done.
