['iF’Our city fathers commenced planting out shade trees on the Public Square last week, but quit before they got done. We suppose it was to see if the ones set out would grow. If that was the cause of the suspension in the work, we can enlighten their minds. No; the trees will not live, as they were not planted deep enough and did not have enough soil around them to sustain life, even if they escape freez ing this winter. Pick your Hint, gents, and try it again. '© F ' I four readers were ever disposed to bo charitable to us, we ask them to bring out their stock and hear with us with great patience, for wc are sorely alllieted.

It is this: the male portion of the Jefferson Theatrical Mastodon Minstrel Combination meet in tile Drug Store underneath us and rehearse their parts and laugh at their own pointed jokes in a manner that shows that they at least arc well pleased with the performance. Our New Streets. At last our “city dads” are pro posing to take a square look at our town and make tilings meet at right angles. Since our last issue several of the members of the Council have had the proposed new streets survey ed out, and they have become satisfied that it will be an easy matter to lay off the proposed new streets at right angles to each other, at hut little cost and make them con r orm to the streets in the old town. To make Hill street straight is a matter that is much easier than it looks at a first glance. Start ing it at Tom Nddaek’s, and running it so that it will jn-.t miss the corner of the lot where John Whitehead now lives in a straight line, and you will find that it is the same distance from the Randolph corner to where it starts at Tom Niblaek's that it is from the corner at Mr. WiiiburiTs to the point where the line comes out into the Lawrcnccville road. To some this may appear unreasonable, as it is known that the Gainesville road bends from the Square towards the North, but if you will notice closely you will find tnat it bends just about the same amount in a Southern direction just above the Court House. To run ilill street, then, on the new line, you can make all of the side streets from the Square and the Gainesville road inter sect it at right angles. Then all you will have to do is to run as many streets as you want parallel and at right angles to it. You then have a base line from which }’ou can con struct all of your work, and when it is done you can view the job with some satisfaction. We trust that our city fathers will consider this matter and straighten as much of the crookedness of the town as possible, and while it is not too late to do so without seri ous damage to its citizens. A Mean Act. Joe Tuck has a good farm out near Thyatira church that he is improving and he rents it out. On last Thurs day night some mean, dastardly per sou set fire to all of his buildings and burnt them to the ground. The ten ant who had been living there this year had moved away just a few days before, and there bad been no fire about, the houses in several days, so that it was plain that it was the work of an incendiary, and Joe says that he has an idea as to who the perpetrator of the crime is. Ilis loss will amount to something over two hundred dollars. Hanging is too good for any one who would do such a deed, and it is highly important that all of the citizens of a community should aid in every man ner possible to rid themselves of such a character. LOOK HERE! EISTTE RTAI 3STJVT E IXTT. The Dramatic Club of Jefferson will give an entertainment on one night of Christmas week. The Club contains some good talent, and you may look out for fun.

We must have what is due us. Pendergrass Bros. Cos. Johnson’s Shop. Well, I suppose that all who read this think I ought to begin, “ Dear Mr. Editor: I seat myself to write you a few lines for your valuable pa per, etc.,” but when I see anything begun in that style, it reminds me of when I was a child, and would beg the old negro women to tell me tales about witches, and they would always begin “ once upon a time,” and tell such a tale of hob goblins and witches until one's hair would rise from their head, and so it is with the “ Mr. Ed itor.” I hardly know whether it's the truth or not when it's began that way, but, n'importe , every one to suit them selves, and that suits me. I believe everybody is well in our District and in a good humor. Farmers arc about through sowing wheat, and arc now hoping, wishing and praying that they'll make a fine crop. We have such a good joke on one of our neighbors that it won’t do to keep, but I've promised not to call his name. While eating his supper the other night, he was interrupted by his little son, who came running in, cry ing, “ l’apa! papa! get your pistol and come here quick; somebody's in the ground-pea patch !” He grabs his pistol and runs out, and presently wc hear a shot, and almost hold our hreath between fear and excitement, waiting to know who it was, when he came hack rather crest fallen ; he had murdered a black stump. lie said be was’certain it was someone stooping over grabbling “goobers.*’ Ground-peas arc plentiful. Mr. L. J. Johnson has made a peck to the vine. So say the children. Amusing !

More rain, more rest, and hogs are spared a little longer until colder weather. Mr. John Oshiclds is speaking of going to the Exposition next week. Some of our neighbors have immi grated “ some wliar, whar land was rich.'’ Wonder where ? Some of them say that the engine will be worn out cro the railroad gets to Laura City. Rather disheartening, I should think. A man wli > has been deceived in land, says that Josh Billings was right when lie said, “there are more people kros eyed in the tongue than in the eyes—they talk one way while they are thinking another.” Vivian. Consumption Cured. Baltimore, Mil. Feb. 12lh, 1881. Upon the recommendation of a friend, I tried Brown’s Iron Bitters as atonic and restorative for my daugh ter, whom I was thoroughly convinced was fast wasting away in consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of em inent physicians. I was loth to believe that an\ tiling could arrest the progress of the disease; but to my surprise, be fore mv daughter had taken one hot tie of Brown's Iron Bitters, she began to mend, and is now quite restored to her former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of consumption, and when the physician was consulted, lie quickly said, “Tonics were requir ed !” And when informed that the el der sister was taking Brown's Iron Bitters, responded, “That is a good tonic, take it.” ADORAM PHELPS. of Askey & Piielps.

When Joe Williamson went to the Exposition he boarded the Air-Line at Gainesville, but, instead of getting into the regular coach, lie got into one that was on a side track and stayed there until the regular train passed and left him.

While roaming ■around in the Exposition buildings he eatne across the old lady from Pickens county who runs an old fashioned loom. Seeing that she was handling a machine with which he was familiar, he, in a friendly way, asked her how much she could weave in a day. She replied that she could weave ten yards, but that there were so many fools around everyday asking her questions that she did not average more than seven a day. While he did not take this hint to himself, yet he passed on" without asking any more questions. Mr. Charley Reeves, on# of the cleverest men in Chandler’s District, unintentionally caused his family and neighbors some uneasiness last week. He started out one morning walking jto a tjeighboi\s house, t-. Ting some of his family that he would te bark in a short time. Nothing was thought of his absence until night, and, a3 he had not }'ct returned, his family became alarmed and sent to the neighbors house to enquire jd*ont him There the messenger was informed that they had not seen Mr. Reeves that day.

We have no railroads running through this country at pres ent, but the extension of the Western North Carolina railroad is now being built, particularly the Ducktown branch, the Yadkin Valley road and the road from the East Tennessee line to the Cranberry Works all are now in process of construction, and numer ous other projected lines, will throw this country open and make a market for the timber and mineral for which there is now no demand. Heaven speed the time when the voice of the iron horse may be heard to echo and reecho throughout the counties of Western North Carolina, then, and not till then, will the people of this country awake from their long hun dred \ ears slumber and unlatch the prison doors and be a free people. There are immense forests of tim ber in this country that have scarce been touched by the woodman’s axe, and also rich mineral deposits, such as gold, silver, mica, iron and corun ilmn. Specimens of these have been sent to the great Cotton Exposition at Atlanta. The counties of Buncombe, Jackson, Haywood, Macon, Swain and Cherokee (which is my home) have been said to excell Colorado and Ne vada in subteraneous resources, though the people are generally poor and have small capital to invest in the search of the minerals, yet they have big hearts, and are looking forward to a better day.

MAKING WATCHES. Defective Watch Cases arc one of the chief causes of so many watches not being good time pieces. The cases being thin and not fitting well, admit dust and dirt to the movement, which soon interferes with the running parts of the watch, ne cessitating cleaning, repairing, itc., and the amount thus paid out, if applied to ward buying a good case in the beginning, would have saved all this trouble and ex pense. We have recently seen a case that meets all these requirements, it having, been carried for over twenty years and still remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS’ Patent Stiffened Gold Case, which has become one of the staple articles of the Jewelry trade, possessing as it does so many advantages over all other watch cases, being made of two heavy plates of solid gold over a plate of composition, and we advise all our rea ders to ask their Jeweler for a card or catalogue that will explain the manner in which they are made. It is the only Stiffened Case made with two plates of gold, seamless pen dants and center, solid joints, crown pieces, &c., all of which arc covered by letters patent. Therefore buy no ease be fore consulting a -Jeweler who keeps the JAS. BOSS’ Patent Stiffened Gold Case, that you may learn the difference between it and all imitations that claim to he equally as good. For sale by all responsible Jewelers..
