A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.

Much of the tobacco brought to
market these days is damaged by
being smoked, in the effort to keep
it from moulding, and has conse-
quently brought very low prices,
when otherwise it would have
brought fair price. To guard
against this, Watson Bros, and
Wommack of Reidsville, have issued
a circular containing the following:
"Feeling an unusual interest in
your welfare, now that tobacco is
low, and appreciating the fact that
you can neither afford to let your
tobacco damage nor smoke it by
drying it out with wood, we would
advise those of you who are
not ready to market your tobacco to
clean out your barns and sprinkle
every week OF ten days on the floor
about two gallons Of lime. 1t will
prevent moisture from rising, keep
the barn dry and thus prevent the
moulding. We know the expert
ment to be success; it is very
cheap, and we are sure it is worth
your attention"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-08-04

Several farmers in New Salem
are raising small crops of tobacco,
which are looking well.-Monroe
Enquirer.
One of our citizens who rode 25
miles through Davidson county yes
terday says that the tobacco crop in
that section is the poorest he ever
saw-in some places the grass is
higher than the tobacco.-High Point
Enterprise.
The farmers are harvesting oats;
the crop is very good, much better
than last year.-It is deep rooted
fact now that the Cape Fear & Yad-
kin Valley Railroad will be extended
on from Mt. Airy to Wytheville, Va.
Last Thursday the two-year-old
child of John Hackney, Of Chatham
county, was found dead in a spring.
The child had wandered away from
the house. The foundation for
the Centenary NJ. E. Church, in
South Greensboro, has been dug out
and the brick masons are laying
brick for dear life. Mr.. Ireland in
forms us that the building will be
completed by the first Of October if
possible. Dirt has been broken
for the foundation Of the new Bap-
tist church at this place, on Wash
ington street. 1t will be built Of
brick, 81 feet front, u feet deep, with
Sunday school room to be thrown
open by closing doors. Height from
street 36 feet, with tower 10 feet
square, and the spire reaching SO feet

A GOOD TIME AT CEDAR GKOVE
CEDAR GROVE, N. c.,
August End, 'S6.

Mr.. EDITOR Saturday, July 31st,
has been looked to with many joy
Gus anticipations by the people of
this neighborhood. The Cedar Grove
Farmers Club had extended a gen
eral invitation to the farmers of this
community to picnic with them on
that day at Bevers Mill. About 9
o'clock the farmers began coming
in, some on foot, carrying baskets
on their arms, some in buggies and
wagons, all accompanied by their
wives and children and all bringing
we'll filled baskets. In due time the
Jonestown' String Band appeared
with colors waving, in Joseph A.
Nifong's band wagon, drawn by four
spanking bays, Mr.. James Alspaugh
holding the reins.
V The crowd, which numbered about
800, was then called to the stand by
President Bevel, who introduced
Col. L. L. Polk, who responded in a
speech of one hour and ten minutes.
Of this speech feel inclined to say
much, but knowing, Mr.. Editor, that
you will refuse to publish any COM
plimentary remarks on the speech,
I must be content with saying that
Notwithstanding the intense heat [
never saw so large a crowd held to
such a point of attentiveness as was
this crowd by Col. Polk. During
the speech the entire crowd was
served with ice cold lemonade, which
helped much to overcome the OPP
pressive heat. After the speaking
the good wives called for their bask-
cts to be brought and the table fairly
groaned under the weight Of such
viands as would tempt an epicure.
All did eat and were filled and many
fragments were taken up.
Everything passed off we'll with
the best of order, and the best of
good feeling prevailed. | have heard
but one sentiment expressed and
that is, let this occasion be followed
by many more like it. ]. M. J.

KERNERSVILLE CLUB.

We met this evening according to
appointment. The house was called
to order by the temporary chairman
and moves made to elect permanent
officers. The names Of several were
suggested, out Of which Mr.. G. W.
Elliot was elected President, Joseph
Crews Vice-President, F. G. Hasten
Secretary and W. G. Lassiter Treas
urer. The President, after being
elected, gave a very interesting talk,
showing the benefit that may be de-
rived from such an organization, etc.
Not a great deal of time was used in
discussing questions as we had too
much other business to attend to.

A GOOD FARMER.

A friend who was sympathizing
with Capt. Buck Draughon last
week over the losses by rain in his
crop, was told that even with one
half gone now, he would be able to
supply the neighborhood, and that
if all this years crop now remaining
was to be ruined, he still has old
corn enough to do him and his neigh
bors Few hereabouts do it.-Fay-
etteUille NeUs. @
1t gives us great pleasure to record
and reproduce such paragraphs as
the above. 1t is just such men as
Capt. Draughon who will eventually
bring the South to the front in agri-
culture, where she ought to be, by
the example he sets to his fellow
farmers. He don't raise cotton and
buy grass from Pennsylvania and
pork from Illinois. May he and his
kind increase and multiply until they
take possession of the land.
