& day On-HEurfree shorO.

The editor took hurried trip to Muir
freesbOro last week, and enjoyed it very
much. We had for long time desired
to see the good people of the good old
town of Murfreesboro; and, although we
had heard many good things said for
them, our expectations were fully realz-
ed in the kind and hospitable manner IN
which we were welcomed.
Our visit was mainly to the c. B. F.
Institute, which is presided over by
President Brewer to the general satisfac-
ton of the denomination in whose inter
est it was founded and has been kept up.
The Institute was established about
so years ago, we believe; and from the
present surroundings, we judge that as
the years grow upon it, its beautiful
grounds are made more beautiful and its
usefulness increases also. 1t was our
pleasure to enjoy the Inequalities Of
President Brewer, with his charming
lady and interesting family. The work
of the Institute is satisfactory IN every
respect The patronage of the school
is better this year than 1t was last
year even.
President Brewer has labored with
great diligence to improve the work every
year; and with the changes recently made
in the building, he has better oppoctu
nifty for Improvement than ever before.
The Institute is well furnished. every,
thing is comfortable and the girls are a!
cheerful and bright as if they were il
their own homes.
| We were interested in President Brew
er's farm. He has connected with hi.
management of the institute systemati,
farming which pays him handsomely anC
with which he pleasantly employs hi
hours out of the school-room and study
He is an excellent farmer as we'll as
great educator.
We took little time inside the fai
grounds, and found every thing interest
ing, except the scattering gamblers her,
and there, and there was an interestir;
feature about these swindlers; namely
they were exercising their vocal organ
almost in solitude--they had very few
| customers.
The exhibition i'll the hall was good
The art display was interesting, and th'
root crop was especially fine. We OBJ
served some hay exhibits that averaged
10 tons to the acre.
One of the most pleasant hours ",
spent during our visit was at the home O
Mr.. Day. His amiable companion, to
gether with the presence of Mrs. Mellow
ell, the mother of our townsmen, DR.. W
o. and Mr.. a. Mcdowell, made al
hours converse all that could be desired
We left Murfreesboro with pleasan
recollections, and entertaining a hope
that we may soon have an opportunity 0
repeating our visit.

The Address New Colossal Shows,
Circus, Museum and Menagerie, is billed
to appear in Scotland Neck Thursday.
November 81. This same show exhibited
in Charlotte last Monday and the EgeHutg
Ne,cs commenting on the performance has
the following to say:
Address circus is a very good one
and has more OF moral tone about it
than the general run Of such affairs. 1t
has small but select menagerie, one
well worth seeing, by the way, and It's
chief merit is in the excellence Of its
trained animal show. The horseback
riding and trapeze performances are up
to the average. II IS altogether a very
good circus for the money charged.

EASTERN CAPITAL. WANTED To DEVELOP
TExAs AND FLORIDA LANDS.

EASTERN CAPITAL WANTED I'd DEVELOP
TExAs AND FLORIDA LANDS.
by TELEGRAPH 10 The HERALD
+ DALLAS, Texas, Nov, !, lss9.-Tnsre
has been quietly on foot for the past few
weeks scheme which lays over every
thing heretofore undertaken here. Local
/ capitalists, whose funds are 10 be aug
meDted by the lucre of Ea-tern million
aires, are endeavoring to organiz. what
is to be knowQ as The Trinity Valley
/ Improvement Company" The capital
OF the concern will be, according to the
statements Of those connected with the
project, 1900, 600. The object of the
corporation Is the reclamation OF 100, 900
acres of land in the Trinity Valley, near
Dallas.
! This is to be done bv Strengthening the
channel Of the river, which is of very
winding character, in the Dallas terrific
~. BY this means the river during foods
can carry off the heavy volume of water
with much greater rapidly than it now
| does.
After Strengthening the channel vast
leYees will be thrown up on either side
| for five miles. Competent engineers have
declared that ills work will BRING about
the desired result, and, what IS more,
that it is practicable The estimates for
the entire work rarge from $50, 900 t.
81 $780, 900.
Some think it will be accomplished
with less than the smaller sum, while
others think it will require more than
the larger. If it can be done at all the
end will justify the means. The Trinity
Valley is one of the richest tracts of land
in the State, and if 100000 acres were
Reclaimed and turned into a truck farm
enough produce can be raised to supply
the entire region west of the Mississippi
River.
The value Of the land will be raised
from practically nothing to at least $lC0
an acre, or lO,O00,0O for the entire
tract. 1t is understood that the various
owners of the property in question are
willing TO 60 into the scheme and put
their land IN for stock IN the company,
and in such an event this will constitute
the largest work Of internal Improvement
ever undertaken in the Stately. T.
| Hordld.
The above was handed US by friend
Of this community who lives elsewhere,
and he suggested the wisdom of advocat-
ing such a scheme for the rich Roanoke
river lands in this section.
Il is a good idea and we like 1t. Roam
okc river has some Of the finest lands in
the South, and nothing would do more
for Eastern Carolina and Halifax county
than to have them properly cared for.
The trouble with these lands is, that the
swells in the river overflow them aud
soon spoil the crops that are growing OF
matured; while if the river were properly
diked and the waters held in, the wealth
Of this community would soon be in
creased several hundred per cent.
We would rejoice to see this matter
taken hold of, and we throw out these
hints with the hope that some one may
see the opportunity, realize the vastness
Of 1t, and strike for the thing in earnest.
There is no question about the fact that
Halifax county and the adjoining counties
along the Roanoke are abundanly rich
in resources yet undeveloped.

7 hat Little Tickling

IN your throat, which makes you cough
once in while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as catarrh is a constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to
hut the spot. What you need is con-
stitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsa-
parllla. Many people who have taken
this medicine for scrofuI, dyspepsia. loss
of appetite, and other troubles. have been
surprised that it should cure this trouble
some cough. But to know the actual
cause of the cough is to solye the mys-
terry. Many cases of consumption can
be traced back to the neglect Of some
such slight affection as this, Consump
ton can be controlled il its early stages,
and the effect of Hoods SarsapariIla in
purifying the blood, building up the gen
eral health, and expelling the scrofulous
faint which is the cause of catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect
health many persons on whom this dread
ed disease seemed to have firm hold.

Not an Uncommon Name.

One of the most prominent citizens
of Hartford, says letter to the New

retary of the Travellers Insurance
Company. He is not self-important,
bot still is one who expects good deal
of consideration, and gets it. Not long
ago the Travellers made a number OF
loans through Colorado broker named
Henry. Interest and principle failed
to materialize and Mr.. Dennis went
to investigate. The sole occupant
of Henry's office was a. young, man
who sat tilted back in a chair with his
feet on the window-sill. His response
to inquiries was extremely unsatis-
