WILL MOVE TO TowN.-Nr. John T
Brinkley has purchased the beautiful
residence and 15-acre lot n GAINESVILLE,
known as the PEBBLES place, and will
soon repair the buildings and move 10
town.
He is a good accession to the town, and
THE DEMOCRAT welcomes him amongst
US. He paid $4,000 for the property.
Real estate is Oh the rise in Scotland
Neck, which is q true indication that the
prosperity of the town is growing.
STILL BooMING.-Prof. Allen Is one OF
the most progressive men in the land
Vine Hill Male Academy now numbers
Ia.
There will be others t. come IN soon.
This is the largest number OF boys in the
school in ten years.
We are proud of the school for the
town and for the whole community. We
have never seen why this school should
not number from Is to 100 boy8 every
session, and We believe it will soon do 1t.
Let the people give the school the proper
support and very soon We opne that
there will be some still more attractive
feature IN the school.
MARRIED.-A Palmyra correspondent
sends the following:
Savage In Lewiston on
Thursday of last week Miss Mari Savage
to Mr.. J. j. Medford, both Of Palmyra,
Rev. Mr.. Spaight, Pastor of Lewiston
| Baptist church officiating.
Mr.. Medford is well known to the peo-
pie of this community. He is now one
of the leading, energetic statesmen of
Palmyra. He is a young man Of great
worth to his town and community.
Miss Savage is a woman of strong char
acter and intellect Of charming disposition
and we congratulate the fortunate groom
upon winning such lovely woman to
sweeten the trials and cares of life"
FRIEND.
LATE TRAINs.-Almcst every day the
tram is late getting in from Greenville
The fault is not with the running officials.
Capt. Switzerland has been doing the
work of about three men, and Mr.. Smith
does bis work well. Capt. Switzerland
is off for few days and Capt, Whitaker
is running in his stead, and he does the
same three mems work that Capt. South
erland was dong. The company ought
to put on another train.
They have no right to publish sched~
uIe and lead people to expect to do bust
ness on the road according the schedule,
and then delay travel for their own con-
veniencc.
FLEMING SPRING.--Flemming' s
Spring, near DawsOn's, about 6 miles
from Scotland Neck, sends up as fine
| uilD6Edl water d. llIGIC - IN ANOI III y dI u
lima. We have never tasted better min
eral water anywhere. 1t has been ana
lyzed, and contains IRON, sulphur, mag
nesia, besides other properties. 1t has a
pleasant taste, is cold and light, does not
hurt you TO drink as much as you want,
and has been known in more than one
case to cure scrofula by simply washing
III it. In our opinion it is one of The best
mineral springs in the State and IS well
worth the developing into a resort for
health seekers.
There have been complaints made
about the mails in several directions. We
send our paper from this office on Thurs
day morning. The mail to Dawsors,
Crowells, Spring Hill and Tillery ought
to reach there the same day, but we
learn that at some of these points Oul
subscribers do not receive their papers
until Friday. This is hardship upon
them and great injustice to US. The
matter must be looked after by the post
masters and others who handle the mail
HALIFAX HOTEL sOLD.-We learn
that Judge Clark has sold his large hote1
at HalifaI to BoStonian for good price
1t has been stated that the hotel brought
S, 900 but we are not certain as to the
t amount. The purchaser will improve the
, hotel. make it quite attractive, and then
it will be quite likely that other north
ern men will stop there and make Hall
fax kind of giuter resort for sporting
men.
We are gratltied to learn that these
improvements are ahead for Halifax.
We learn also that Mr.. j. 7, Gregory
is building a new store-house between
Maj. Emry's store and Mr.. FroelIch's.
"Money spent in luxury might b'
turned to great good if turned to charitie:
, like this ."-M. II. G. Bourne at Ir1njt
ChurcA G1nld. We take occasion to com
ment upon the wisdom Of Mr.. Bourne:
words. We thought while we listened
to his wise and eloquent words, how
many young men and older men woult
go out from the hall, and before going t
sleep that very night, perhaps, would
burn up money enough in smoking cigar
t0 nav more than i would cost to belon!
