John Barleycorn was the cause
Of considerable scene ON our streets
last Saturday evening. Two or
three parties, who had imbibed too
freely Of drink, became involved in
a general "fisticuffp and our police
force seemed unable to quell the
disturbance or t. arrest the parties
who were violating tAe town ordi-
nances. To let things end as they
did Saturday evening is establish
ing bad precedent and repetition
of such should not be tolerated by
the town authorities.
| II is pitiful to see fine peaches and Other

that the market is quickly glutted, and buy.

| This is one of the miseries of farming; that
when crops turn out well prices are low as

Start canning factories and save
this fruit that is daily being wasted
all over the country. It is not sc
much the evil of an over-crop as The
want of means of preserving that
causes fruit to go begging on the
market.
NO company can attend the Eli
campment with less than thirty men
rank and file, and any company fail
ing to attend may be disbanded
There are nov organized as many
companies as the State has provided
for, and new companies are anXiOu:

ny fails to do its duty it may be a
once disbanded and anew one receiv.
ed in its place. Let every member
of the Sampson Light Infantry, wht
can attend the Encampment thi
time, and swell the ranks of thu
company. Other companies arr
making preparations for a CRANE
time and Company F should not fai

will be mere pittance and no mai
should hesitate togo on that account
) Go, every may who can, and sustain
the Company's past record.
We understand that some par
ties have been severely abusing tn
town commissioners because the,
did not see fit to grant the petitio
for the report of the stock ordinance
Now let us see il this criticism i
just. In the first place, it is the pr
vate opinion of each member of tn
S present board that it is better for tn
town that the hogs be not Above
to run on the streets, and becaus
I these men were known to have sue
opinions is one reason why they wer
elected and put on the ticket. ,Tbos
