PURE BLOOD JERSEY CATTLE.
Commendable Enterprise.

pleasant sensation. 1t was a lot of beau
tiful Jersey cattle, which had been
bought in New Jersey by our enterprising
townsman, Mr.. M. n. Williamson. They
were in charge of an expert herdsman,
who had been detailed to deliver the
cattle to Mr.. Williamson. They are all
pure bloods and registered:
Clemantine, No. 1,27S-imported.
Theresa of Jersey, No. S,337-im-
ported.
Artists Lass, No. 17,972-imported.
Khedive's Count, No. 14,436-out of
Theresa of Jersey.
Anna of Manalapan, No. 32,2O7-3
years old.
Maud S. of Manalapan, No. 32,2O9-1S
months old.
Mignon of Manalapan, No. 32,21O-15
months old.
Jessie of Greenville, No. 3O,l75-23
months old-out of Clemantine.
Lady Alkaline, II months old-out of
Anna of Manalapan.
They belong to fashionable and popu-
lar strains, and were bought from breed
ers of high character.
We congratulate Mr.. Williamson on
his ownership of such fine cattle, and as a
friend to true progress The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER desires to say hat he has done
a public service by bringing his cattle
TO this community. Williamson, Balm
son, II. E. Fries, and r. 7. Stedman, are
the kind of men who build up a country,
and verify they shall have their reward.
MEETING OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

County Commissioners was held Monday.
There is little of general interest in the

ment as supervisors of roads, by the
18th inst. Flavius n. Pfaff was appoint
ed to examine the Mickey bridge across
Muddy Creek and nave repairs made or

lowest bidder, after 10 days advertise
ment. The Board will hold a special
meeting next Monday for the purpose Of
appointing supervisors for the roads I'M
der the Watson road law, and to adjust
the tax lists, hear complaints, &c.
A PEA H~ARvEsTER.-If it be true that
"seven acres of peas can be harvested,
shelled, cleaned and put in sacks, ready
for the market, in one day, at a cost of
about 2 cents per bushel," then we are
on the verge of another revolution in
farming in the South. And The Pro-
GREssIvE FARMER is proud that the in
vention is made by a North Carolinian.

attend either of these conventions be
