The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1889-07-04

h. ttcIt We toutu the DS--S Goth AIM
cotton that We had seen this season.
Mr.. II. is a wide-awake, energetic
man. lie has q diversity Of interests
claiming his attention. Not far
from his elegans residence, We find
a grist mill in operation, with cotton
gin and fixtures in course of con-
struction, all TO be operated by water
power. a little beyond we come to
his turpentIne distillery and store
house, Office, AMI other buildings, on
the bank of Black River. We find
everything as well managed as if he
had only one calling. Mr. Rs chief
fort is entertaining his friends. fla
man could be killed by kindness,
truly he would be the man to kill
him.
On She day following we make our
way to Newkirk's Bridge, the form
er residence of our once noted, Mr..
Charles Howe. Jut after crossing
Union Bridge, an amusing incident
occurs. A colored couple working
field hardly, hearing that a "Justice"
is about to "pass by" hasten to the
roadside, where, standing in the
fence jam, with the Justice sitting in
road cart, they are made "man and
wife,"
At Hampton we found convict
camp, though most of the eOnvicts
were absent, being at work on the
G.. F. & Y. V. Railroad. The peo-
pie in this section will doubtless be
greatly benefited by this road. 1t
will afford them better mail facilities
and enable them to engage in truck
farming, to which their lands are adj
mirably adapted. We think it a
great addition to the people in this
locality. We hope at some day to
see branch built from this road to
Harrell's store.
AT Newkirk's Bridge and New
toms Cross Roads We find exceeding
quiet. AT the latter place we find
four general stores. We observe
strong "Alliance" sentiment, and
hope some day to belong to it our
selves.
AT Harrell's store on the 18th in
slant, Mr.. Isaac Fort, of Wake For
est College, one of the best teachers
in the State, closed a ten months
school. The progress was creditable
to teacher and pupils. 1t is expect
ed that he will reopen his school
next August.
On the 18th iust., the Methodist E.
Church, at that place, held circuit
Sunday-school Conference that was
Nell attended and very enjoyable.
On the evening Of the 18th an en-
tertainment was given in behalf of
Baptist church that melted $4,000.
1t was conducted under the manage
ment of Mr.. Lucas and was hugely
enjoyed by those in attendance.
Yours truly,
LIST-TAKER.
