We passed the farm Of Mr.. Eli Hopkins

to look upon such farms. Farming pays
Hem'
~ We heard one of Martin county's
best farmers say this week that Scotland
Neck Will never 60 backwards. We think
not, certainly it will not as long as its
citizens Will work hard for the interest Of
the town.
We learn from a correspondent from
Palmyra that Mr.. John Drew, while at
work with an ADJ on the Sth. cut himself
rather seriously Just below the knee.
DR.. K. Leggett was called IN to dress tbs
wound.
DANIELS MILLS Our correspondent
| writes that crops of cotton have greatly
| improved in this section. Farmers are
saving up much fodder. Our correspon.
dent further reports great revival of
religion in that section.
II want to move to your town where
can have the advantage of your good
! Schools" is what many people say to US
as we move around among the people of
the country, We cannot properly value
good school. Let our schools be en-
c0uraqed.
SHEEP FOR SALE.--We observed one
day last week a flock of p sheep driven
down Main street, and upon inquiry we
learned that Mr.. j. g. Lassiter, of Rich
Square, had sent them oyer to Mr.. Noah
Briggs to sell for him.
MARRIED. AT the home of Mr.. John
L. Whitehead, on last Sunday, Miss
Luoisa Neville was married to Mr.. c. W.
| Whitfield, Mr.. A. A. White, officiating.
We wish them happines and long life.
Hone 3OD.-We passed Hobgood Mons
day and saw signs of building up. There
are already half dozen houses in course
of erection and perhaps by January there
will be more.
Mr.. j. b. Neal is stationed there as
agent for the railroad company, and some
goods are shipped to that point now.
The door at the depot formerly open
ing North, has been closed up and a
window placed instead, and the door
moved on the east side of Mr.. Bryan's
office. This is great Improvement, as
the cold winds in winter will not blow in
upon passengers and operatives of the
railroad company who pass through the
doors.
MEETING AT BRasWELLs. Rev. Mr..
| Curtis, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Pace of
Wake Forest, is holding a meeting at
BrasweIi's. Several have made profess
! sion of religion and quite number have
shown interest in the subject of personal
salvation.
Rev. Mr.. Pace preached in the Baptist
church here Sunday and made fine i'm.
preston.
"D0n't THE DEMOCRAT blow for Scot
land Neck" said one passenger to anoth~
er on the train Monday.
eyes, said the ether" Scotland Neck
ought to board the editor free gratis and
for noth'ng."
If Scotland Neck will just give a liber-
al patronage Wen be satisfied with her
part. Meet US at your own threshold al
least, gentlemen.
THE OLD TIME WAY.--A drummer
said to US recently that he knows two OF
three men in different counties who have
stuck to the old time way of farming
raised cotton only after enough home
supplies, and he says they have money
to lend now.
And this is the Iule. Where you find
farmer with money to lend, or invest
or with money ahead for anything, he
makes his own supplies at home.
QUITE SUGGESTIVE.-The following
clipped from some newspaper was sent
US by lady who resides in this commu-
NIFTY, and who doubtless thinks it suita-
bly, suggestive to those who have interest
in our cemetery:
Tne grave yard in this neig hborhood is
in delapdated state and more suited as
a retreat for the wild beast of the forest
than a repository of our loved dead. We
hope soon to see it in good state of af
falrs-.t5 condition is an index to the
nei5hbOnood.
A PUzzLE.-The following was hand
ed with request to unraYel. We pub
lish it and ask our readers to solve anc
send Us the answer:
No man can live without my first;
By night and day it's used.
My second is by all accursed,
BY night and day abused
My whole is never seen by day,
And never used by night;
It's dear to friends when far away,
Rnt hated when in sight.
