The old Josey residence, on West
Church street. between the house of Drs.
Johnson and Mcdowell, is now occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Gray. They
moved in last week.
From a member of one of the most pro-
minsnt families in the State we have the
following:
''All at home say the DEMOCRAT is
one of the best papers we get"
We call special attention to the notice
of Scotland Neck Cavalry, and we hope
that the company will answer the call
and do themselves they good credit they
ale capable of, and thus secure the sp-
preparation that awaits them.
We have on our table the Bulletin OF
the North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture for March. The Crop Prospectus
for 1888 is very fattering. Or. Kemp P.
Battles paper on Sheep-Ralsing is espe-
clally interesting.
pa We have observed since returning
to ouI office three days ago that Scotland
Neck looks quite business like in the con.
slant run of the feather wagons Though
the streets to Rothrock & Shelton's place
of business.
These gentlemen renovated 81 beds on
Monday of this week. They are having
a good run with their work and are Civ
ing good references to our best people.
The editor of the DEMOCRAT was quite
unexpectedly called away two weeks ago,
which explains any and all irregularities
in both the issue of last week and also OF
this week. Absence, together with our
own sickness, has made 1t impossible for
US to make our paper what we wished.
We are back at our post now, however,
and hope to soon have things running IN
the usual way.
Our merchants would be doing the
clever thing for their lady customers es>
pecIally, if they would prepare some
permanent seats in their stores along
side the counter. MANY a tired lady
from the country feels unable to stand
up for several hours to do her trading
after riding through the heat Of a dusty
road for miles. Sometimes lady who
lives IN the town gets tired also, and
would be glad to rest little but dlslikcs
to ask for seat.
S~ Messrs. Rothrock & Shelton have
bean renovating feather beds in the towr
and community for nearly two weeks ant
have given the satisfaction they guaran-
tee in their work. Since our mention o
them last issue, among some of the promi
nent persons for whom they have done
satisfactory work in the community are
Mrs. Susan A. Scott, Mrs. I. w. Fen
ner, b. D. Webb, ". A. Dunn, R. A
