Mr.. Shackleford's knitting mills is an
other place Of live business in Tarboro
There are in that factory now about 81
operatives, max ing from g to 81 a week.
The work Is model of neatness and
shows, with other things there, what
money with plenty Of push can do.
There ore several families from Hall

knitting factory, and we were glad to learn
they Were doing well.
We called to see brother King. of the
Hammer, and found him very clever indeed

boys together and | would frequently
help him through with his work about
the house and yard so thai We could
have pay. He belonged to my grand
mother 4. b. Harmon (nee Smith that
lived where r. II. Smith, Jr now resides
until she was 50 years old, then she
moved to the Whitaker neighboThood to
spend her last days with her daugh ter
A. Q. WI i;aker. She gave Fayette to
my elder brother, NJ. T. Whitaker. He
put the utmost confidence in him, made
him sup eIintend the farm, feed and look
after the stock, IN fact he had a little OF
every thing to do except hard labor and
this ras not required. He was faithful.
trusty and polite which caused him to
stand very high in this community. He
labored under some disadvantages. lie

the others home. They lived y miles

to see her every two weeks and spent &

NJ. T. Whitaker moved to Baltimore tt

an epoch in the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in

is heard in praise of Electric Ritters.
