"Why doesn't he take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla?' is the general inquiry of friends
when person suffers from any disease of
the blood.
SENT UP FOR TWO YEARS.-Mr.
Sydney Owens attended court in Greens
vile last week in the case of John Hatton
for shooting him some time ago.
Hatton was convicted and was sent to
the penitentiary for two years.
PAINFUL ACCIDENr.-We were sorry
to learn that our friend, Mr.. Ralph OAR
den, who is well known here, was seri-
ously hurt at Whaleyville, Va, last
Monday. A log rolled over his leg and
it was thought to be broken, but happily
it proved only bruise. He will be con-
fined for some time perhaps.
The FIRE COMPANY.--Somet time ago
fire company was organized, officers ap-
pointed, the town authorities made
donation, the editor of The DEMOCRAT
ask ed the Wilmington 4 Weldon rail- DAD
for contribution, and 1t was made. But
what is the company doing towards
securing the apparatus? We have heard
yery little about it recently. What's the
matter?
MACHINE sHOPs.-Dropping into Mr..
John L, Kitchin's machine shops the
other day. we found him worked down.
Upon making inquiries as to his apparent
fatigue, he told US that he has so nuch
work piled IN upon him that he can not
keep within sight of keeping up with it.
He needs more machinists, and if they
would come to Scotland Neck, they could
find profitable employment all the time.
GRADUATED WITH HONOR.-Mr. Jas.
G. Braswell of Battleboro graduated at
the University at the Commencement
last week, taking the first prize in Geol-
in years, carrying also three additional
Rotations. He has gone to the western
part of the State with Prot. Holmes of the
Dept Of Geology. They will go to the
source of the Neuse river and follow it
down. Phoenir.
WORK RESUMED.-Wo rk on the hotel
was resumed Tuesday morning. 1t is
under the charge of Mr.. II. G. Jones,
who is a rapid workman and has the tact
of turning off quick jobs, and we predict
that the work will progress quite rapidly.
The work is to be pushed as rapidly as
possible. and in few weeks Scotland
Neck will have an imposing and hand
some hotel on one of its principal squares
on Main street.
sS@The fact that advertising is the
Keystone of success, has been prominent
IL illustrated by business men in every
city and town throughout the United
States. There are several systems OF
advertising; one of which Is the circular,
used generally by small business houses.
Again, there are others who resort to
sign boards and fence advertising, but the
shrewd merchant aYails himself of the
columns of such papers as are to be found
IN the household for freside reading. In
this respect THE DEMOCRAT is unrivaled.
MACHINERY ORDERED.--At the an
nual meeting of Stockholders in the Scot
land Neck Cotton Mills in May, it was
decided that the charter of the company
should be amended so as to allow the
company to manufacture knit goods az
well as spin yarns. Mr.. n. b. Josey,
the newly elected President OF the COM
pany, at once took trip to Philadelphia,
prospecting for machinery. Since his
return the Directors have instructed him
to purchase an outfit for hosiery work of
all kinds, and letter from the manufac-
turers says that the machinery will be
here in four weeks. A Superintendent
has been secured and the work will be
pushed to completion.
The building is ready with the excep-
ton ofplastering, and Mr.. T. W. Manning
Is now engaged in plastering It prepare
tory to placing the machinery. An en-
CINE and boiler have been purchased and
all things will soon be in readiness for
the work.
