- We acknowledge the courtesy of a complimentary ticket to the Alamance County

pleasure to attend if our business would permit. 

- Mrs. S.H. Lyle left last Wednesday to visit her mother and friends in
Tarboro, NC, and will be absent several months. She was accompanied by her two
little boys.

the fraternity are requested to be present. 

- Hon. D.M. Furches, republican candidate for Governor, speaks today at Murphy
and hops over to Waynesville tomorrow and then on east, not seeming to care a
fig whether the republicans of Macon vote for him or not.

of Dr. C.D. Smith, hearing of his accident last week came on a visit to him
and spent two or three days. 

- The Presbyterians held their meeting and communion at the Methodist church
from Friday night to sunday and some very good preaching was done by Revs.
Foster and Jesse Siler. Four accessions to the church were announced by the
pastor Sunday. 

CARR AND OSBOURNE Elias Carr, and Frank L. Osbourne spoke in Franklin
Saturday. Mr. Carr's speech was plain, practical, logical, argumentative and
sensible. He discussed the tariff question fully and showed how it was robbing
the poor laboring classes. He also touched up some of the third party
nominees, and taken all in all made a fine speech. Mr. Osbourne entertained
the audience for more than an hour and no speaker since the days when Zeb
Vance used to visit this section has given more witty sarcasm and mirth
provoking address. He kept the audience in a pleasant mood during the whole
time he was speaking, occasionally growing eloquent and at times, pathedic.
His speech was well received and made a good impression on his hearers, and
the result will be to stresngthen the democratic vote in Macon.
