HENRIETTA HAPPENINGS. A VISIT TO SHELBY. COUNTY CANVASS. THE TRIBUNE. A.

L. RUCKER. Eoitor, L. D. MILLER, Manaocm PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENT.

OMETHING GOOD! The Stomach is the Man A weak stomach weakens the man, because it cannot transform the food he eats into nourishment. Health and strength cannot be restored to any sick man or weak woman without first restoring health and strength to the stomach. A weak stomach cannot digest enough food to feed the tissuess and revive the tired and run down limbs and 7 Sox and Stockings that wear weir and look weel at Smith's Shoe Store. We made a hurried visit to Shelby through Capt. Sulivan's train was not one of those that can be rushe'd Monday evening returning Tuesday morning.

All along the way groups of hands were seen picking cotton or gath- erinz the mills along the way were busy and people gen- erally were at work, not stand- ing around the depots. Shelby has grown much since our last visit and is still growing but our hurried trip did not permit time for sufficient data for a write up that would do that thriving town justice, and we must content ourselves by saying that with her electric lights and othor improvements, she is beginning to put on city airs. We did not get into Sheloy until night and left the next morn- ing before 9 o'clock, but we met a number of old acquaintances and made some new ones. Of course everybody wanted to know the political situation in Ruther- ford and, of course, we told them how it would be, Democratic in November. Adopting the idea that giving all and asking none was hardly fair, we inquired about what Cleveland was goin' to do about it.

We had been reading both the Shelby papers The Star and The Aurora and acting upon the common law principie, that every man IS in- nnpnt.iint.il nrnvpn n-niltv tlJ orare, we nae oeen Trying very 11 I hard to reconcile the fact that both these papers had been tell ing the truth, until the contrary shall be proven.

MILLS. Chairman County Dem. Ex. Com. A Wild Cat in lown.

On Monday Mr. Z. V. Dalton, of Bat Cave, Henderson county, passed through town with a load of mountain produce for Gaffney, S. C.

Strapped to the hind gate of his wagon was a box which had in it a large wild cat that Mr Dalton had recently caught in a steeltrap on Bald mountain. When the wagon was stopped on the street, and was it learned that a wild was aboard. many were anxious to see it. The box had been lined with wire netting, and so arranged, that by turning a board to one side, a good view of the cat could be had. Every time a new face approached the box the cat snapped at ll- instinctively and immediately, the face of the onlooker went backward to the amusement of those who had play- ed the mam act before the new comer's arrival.

H. Rucker, of Green Hill, died at the residence of her sister, Mrs. J. M. Allhands, at Henrietta, Monday morning at 3 o'clock, from an illness of typhoid fever extending over a period of more than three months.

At her request, her remains were brought to Mountain Creek church, of which she was a devoted member, where, after appropriate funeral exer cises were conducted by her former. pastor, Rev. C. B. Justice, they were interred Tuesday afternoon.

She was a popular and lovable wo man, an acceptable teacher, and a de voted Christian; and besides the record of a pure and unlsensh life, she left abundant assurances of her accept ance with Christ, her Lord.

B. Justice is happy in his work at Rutherfordton, and his neonle love him morft and mora. He i i has been Pastor at Rutherfordton thir ty-five years, and we suppose there is no other pastor in the State, especially I in the towns, who has served so long and well; and yet he is more and more loved by his church.

M. LYNCH. THE CRAWF0RD-BENB0W DEBATE. We have attempted to give elsewhere in this issue an unprejudiced synopsis of the great discussion here Saturday between Hon. W.

T. Crawford and Hon. B. F. Benbow, Democratic and Republican electoral candidates for the 10th district and leave our friends of both parties, after reading same, to form their own concusions.

Mr. Crawford needs no introduction at our hands, being as well known to our readers, possi bly, as any man in public life in the State. His political enemies concede the fact thaf he is a Hercules in debate, and nothing improves his polemical powers so much as a wily opponent. Such an opponent he has met in the person of Mr. Benbow, of Franklin, Macon county, who is fair in the presentation of the issues involved.

Both speeches were singularly free from vituperation or abuse of any sort and for once at least, the negro was not an issue. Each of the gentlemen has a pleasing personality and commands the respect and admiration of his opponents. When, as is the case with Mr. Crawford, Mr. Benbow shall have grown older, and when his knowledge and experience of public affairs shall have been more fully developed, he will be an antagonist whom amateurs may well avoid.
