from the surrounding country and neigh
boring towns. About 8 O'Clock the multi

GIBsoNvILLH, July 14.-This little vii
lage is very pleasantly situated on the n.
c. r. R., near the Alamance and Guilford
county line, and is in the midst of fine
| farming country. These red and grey soils
are adapted to the growth of corn, wheat,
tobacco and clover. While the soil is not
exceedingly rich, it is in the main smooth
and clear of rocks and susceptible of high
Improvement. The growth of timber is
fine and the water both pure and cold. We
do not remember of having seen more
beautiful place for a town than this, it be-
ing high plain surrounded by a magnif-
cent forest and pretty fields of clover and
grass. Rather too much grass just now for
the health and comfort of the farmer)
Messrs. e. L. Smith & Co., are now max
ing brick for a cotton factory to be
erected by Messrs. B. & J. A. Davidson.
Mr.. Davidson is very fine mechanic and
thoroughly understands the details of man.
ufacturing cotton goods. They will have
the encouragement Of the community and
no doubt meet with success.
The Ossipee Cotton Factory owned by
Capt. Williamson, is situated on Haw river
near this place. This is already very
large factory to which the Captain is just
now adding much new machinery.
The citizens of this community are kind,
sturdy and intelligent, and are thoroughly
sound in politics. THE SENTINEL is meet
ing with great success here, as an evidence
of which we are able to sent up the names
accompanied by the cash, of every business
man in the town, to wit the merchant, the
hotellst, the minister, the town physician,
the Railroad agent, the postmaster, the
blacksmith and in fact every adult citizen
in the town We believe except the school
mistress, who would have subscribed but her
sweet heart was taking it, which excuse we
thought perfectly valid and could not insist
Also several others whom we met from the
neighborhood. For the correctness of the
above, we would refer any doubling Thomas
to the parties named. Until a better record
than this is shown THE SENTINEL will
claim 'the button" The writer will not
soon forget his pleasant stay at this little
town, and the great encouragement received
at the hands of its citizens
Messrs. Scott & Dodell have sold their
cotton factory at Graham to Mr.. L. B. Holt
and are now erecting another on beautiful
site near the Railroad station at Graham.
There are now three cotton factories at Gra-

TWO LESSONS
Which Ought to Teach Farmers to Devote
More Attention to the Curing
of Tobacco.

Our notice last week regarding the loss
sustained by tobacco to a Davie county
farmer brings us another somewhat similar
fact regarding another sale of the weed by a
farmer living in one of our near counties.
The farmer referred to- had raised Gas he
thought) fair crop but had no team with
which to place it upon the market. He
was compelled to hire neighbor to bring
it over for him. We are told that he was
advised by his neighbors that he would re-
ceive better returns for his labors were he
to throw it broadcast upon his land as it
would not pay the expense of hauling The
farmer was 10th to believe the advice Civ
After the sale, when the farmer had accu-
rately figured up the returns, to his surprise,
found that he was ninety cents in debt to
his neighbor, besides the loss of time.
Another story is told Us ola farmer who,
being placed in similar position, sometime
since, hired neighbor to bring his tobacco
to Winston, and las he said) thought he
would bring his shot gun along that in case
he should run across any game he might
have something to fall back upon. The
weed was sold, warehouse charges paid, but
not a sufficient surplus of finances was on
hand to pay the price of hauling. To Sc
cure safe return home, the farmer placed
fair promi ses, together with his shotgun in
in the hands of his neighbor and left saying
that self-taught lesson, though oft-times
dear, was valuable one, and that advice
given him hereafter would be thoughtfully
considered before acting.
