7, 1897 After a weeks vacation the Times comes to its readers again. We hope all have enjoyed the holidays and hoping that you all may have a prosperous and successful year. It is our pre sent intention to visit you once a week bringing you the general news of the town and country. The year just passed into history was a hard one for most people but ther were rays of light here and the shining through the average gloom of its course. 'The' price of wheat went up for awhile in the autumn and a great deal of money was distributed among the people for campaigu expenses and services about the same time.

These exceptional ingg brought temporary relief to many homes. The better times promised as A direct and immediate result of MI. McKinley's election have not arrived: but it its rather early in the year 1897 to find fault with that. Patriotism and wisdom may yet come in with the March winds, and there is plenty of room for general hope. The great agricultural interest is in the depth of depression, and must have relief before we may dare to hope for any bursting prosperity.

We shall contident ly expect a clean and decorous administrat.ou under his auspices, and wish him as well the President and Caoinet, the Senate, louse, and other readers of the Times, A Happy New Year! RETROSPECTIVE. HAPPY NEW YEAR. THE year just closed has done much for the advancement of our town. Numbers of new enter prises have been started up. Among them we note The Elkin Roller Mills, manufacturers of flour, meal, ship stuff etc.

The Baily Mfg. Company, manufacturers of pins, cross arms, brackets and dealers in hard wood lumber. The Locust M.g. manufacturers of locust pits, and cross-arms. F.

L. Taylor dealer in walnut timber. G. Cardwell dealer in poplar and oak lumber. Poindexter RolJins manufactrrers of brick, Elkin Shoe Company's tannery J.

D. Williams' planing mills. Elkin Furniture Company, manulacturers of all kinds of furpiture etc. Among the new huildings erected, we note King Greenwoods large brick store room, the Methodist Church, the palatial residence of Mr. H.

G. Chatham, The handsome residences of Messrs C. M. King, H. F.

Bogey, L. J. Bray, and L. H. Carter, and a pumber of residences in Chatham Park and West Elkin whose owners cames we could not get.

New streets have been opened, the old ones put. in good condition and our town is now a more inviting field than ever to the home seekers and business men. We now have good school and religious advantages (flye churches and a splendid school building) and parties wanting to educate their children would do well to come here and look over the ground Out of a population of 800 souls only six deaths occured here last year and fonr of these were small children three of them less than A year old. No contagious dis eases infestedour town and there has not been a case of typhoid fever in Elkip in eight years We should all be thankful to the Great Maker of the universe for the health of the town if for nothing "else. Can any other town show as good a health re- cord as Elkip? Let us all push forward, shoulde to shoulder, for the upbuilding and improvement, of of town durrng 1397 and let it go down in history as one of the most prosperous years for our town.

To The People of Elkin and The Surrounding Country, Are you wanting any life insurance. It not you ought to want a policy. Provide for your family now while your health is good, I am representing one of the best compaines THE TRAVEI ERS of Hartiord, in the world.

So why not let me write your insurance in stead of g.ving your patronage to forei ners who co.me here tarry a few days and are gone.

The fact that one of our leading citizens took a policy a few months ago tor $20.000 in this company shows that the company is gilt edge. For particulars call on or address, Walter B. Bell Agent, FROM SILOAM. I spent the Christmas holidays near Elkin and never heard tell of as much marrying in any one year before during Xmas. I wish them all a happy life and much success but I am afarid that before twelve months is gone of them will say like the old song goes wish I was single again: but I hope not Among all the weddings was an aged bother 78 years old.

Young people cake courage for no one ever gets too old to marry it seems. Now if we all look around we can see what leap year has brought on the people. Times have been very close in the past and we are looking for them to be still closer in the future. While up in the Elkin section I enjoyed myself very much with friends and latives, they all seemed to make it as pleasant for me as they could. May good luck crown all their homes and especially all the newly married people.

He bought one of her children a book. but the widow told her lover that he need not have brought the book but the old man said he felt he ought to do something for the children and he thought a great deal of her too.
