Farming in 1916 and 1885,

Farming in 1916 and 1888.
The following article is clipped
fsom the chronological Journal and
will be read with interest:
In 1916 one bushel of corn would
buy one pound of nails. In 1888 one
bushel of corn will buy ten pounds
of nails. IN 1916 a pair of wooden
blankets cost as much as cow; in
1888 a cow will buy five pairs OF
wooden blankets. In 1916 it required
"a bushels of barley to buy one yard
of broadcloth; in 1888, ga bushels OF
barley will buy 20 yards of broad
cloth. In 1916 it took 20 dozen eggs
to buy one bushel OF salt; in 1888, 20
dozen eggs will buy ten bushels OF
SALT In 1916 it required one bushel
81 >4t9aS TO buy enc yard of calico
in 1883 one bushel of wheat will buy
20 yards of calico. With these
figures before them who can justly
claim that farm products are not inn
proving? The outlook for the pro-
auctions of the farm is certainly
hopeful. The farmer can exchange
his crop for more of the necessaries
and luxuries of life than at any
former period in the history of our
country. Let farmers take courage !;
what they produce will always bring
money or large equivalent in
needed supplies for the family.

Do you want to be carried to Africa
and see how the terrible slave-trade II
conducted in the country How whole
villages are laid waste, and all the in.
habitants manacled and marched off to
the marts, save those who are butchered
because too feeble, too young, or too old
to be of service? We have just finished
reading finely illustrated article on this
subject. The battle scene between the
slave-traders and the doomed is terribly

trations give vivid idea of the hard
ships of the African in his own country.

The Correct Time.

Ask any group of ha!f-a-dozen men
the time of day, and out come as
many watches each one of which the
owner swears keeps correct time.
And yet it would be II fairly safe bet
that no two agree. 1t is desirable to
own watch that keeps correct time,
but it is even more important, when
about to travel, to select a railroad
line that runs its trains ION time"
and makes sure connections. Re-
alizing fully that the present genera
ton has "Get there, Eli" for its
motto, 1.-THE Burlington" has devoted
special attention to securing the in
dispensable prerequisites to making
good time, and getting its trains 10
their destination promptly Oh the dot.
With the lowest gradients, the smooth
est track, first-class equipment and
capable employees, this line has an
unequaled time record. For full in
formation of this popular line, tickets,
etc., call on your local agent, or write

NEW YORK, May 18th.
The market this week has been a
decided Improvement, in one sense
of the word, over that of last week.
Everything has been more active,
Init the warm weather has brought
forward Norfolk peas, thus reducing
North Cardinals to 81 90 for ! Dbl.
crates, with an occasional fine lot at
81 %, but it is safe to quote 81 90 at
ton. Strawberries are not arriving
i'm fine condition, owing to the fact
that peas and truck of every kind
are thrown on top of berries, which
causes them to heat. Cabbage.
choice, is steady at S1.75 to s2.25.
Spring Turnips, if shipped properly,
SO they will retain their freshness,
lseIl from 500 to $500 per one hum
dred punches, but the difficulty is
they sweat coming from such
/ distance and arriving poor, they find
/ no sale whatever. Strawberries very
much easier, top being 15c to zoe,
moor 7c to lie. B. C. FULLER

! ceipts of strawberries the market

An Explanation.

Mr.. Editor: The colored people
are very thankful for what the Gen
eral Assembly have done and are do
ing, and Shall ever feel grateful for
what the good people Of Sampson
are doing too. We ask the General
Assembly to remove the Normal
Schools so as to be available to the
colored youth Of Sampson and East
ern North Carolina. The farmers
could barter out the expenses OF
School here; but when we send to
Salisbury nothing but monev Will
serve. Hence my appeals.
Yours respectfully,
G. w. HERRING.
