The horse at full speed ran along the sidewalk through the town, and several ladies and children narrowly escaped being run over by him. NOTICE.

THE '‘MOUNTAIN CRESCENT CITY." OTHER ITEMS. The Blue Ridge PostSm On last Monday £ £*fs the m darkness of the new-b day was breaking a way Deputy Marshal W. F. Stanley found himself an un¬ welcome visitor in the blockade dis¬ tillery of James Kell, who was mak¬ ing the “mountain dew” in the cor¬ porate limits of the “Mountain Cre¬ scent City.” The Marshal found three quarts of whisky and a wash pot which was used as a still. After demolishing the wash pot and pour¬ ing out the whisky the marshal told Kell to take up his cross and follow him and in less than an hour the mar¬ shal wrapped on the office door of U. S. Commissioner Crawford, and in less than forty minutes the marshall and Kell were on their way to the energetic and progressive little city of Blue Ridge, \4here at 1 o’clock, (i. m. they boarded the South bound train for the Gate City, where Kell how looks through the irou bars and longs to be in the “Mountain Cre¬ scent City” with his wife, baby and still. Now who wants the court house built in a town where wild cat siills arc run. • * Judge Crawford and Everett Pow¬ ell visited the future county site of Fannin last Sunday. 7’hey must think of locating at Blue Ridge, or their interest may be threatened by the Bachelor Bill as the go only on Sunday. Your correspondent visited Shal¬ low Ford church last Sunday. Nothing new or strange in the Mountain Crescent City.” * The sick of our town are slowly- improving. Morganton is not dead but sleep¬ ing. Baalzebub. The above is about as near the truth as a one gallus lawyer who wears a derby witii crown out could get. The truth is the distillery seiz¬ ed was three and a half miles from Morganton and in two miles of Blue Ridge—It is very ungenerous to say the least. “Baalzebub” would say that it is in one mile of Morganton and within the corporate limits, of course it is done with a purpose to injure Morganton in the Court House issue but with the good citizens lying has ceased to be a virtue. He should change his name to Munchau¬ sen. McElree’s Wine of Cardul and THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT are for sale by the following merchants in Fannin County Ga. Jno. W. Anderson Mineral Bluff. L. B. Crawford Blue Ridge. McKinney & Keller Higdons store. L. B. Crawford Morganton. O. F. Chastain Morganton. The farmer who owns a large crop o! wheat can look with complacency at the upward tendency of the wheat market. Ilis affairs have been going down hill so long that no one should object to the turn they have now ta¬ ken. It will take something a great deal stronger and harder than a rumor to kill Gen. Benjamin F. Butler.
