The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1890-07-24

Sabbath, he can do 50 very easily in Scot
land Neck. There are many places of pro-
fit and interest one can ga TO, so that the
Sunday VIII pass pleasantly to all who
desire to make it so.
We saw some young people jdst going
to a lawn party the other night at ten
o'clock. We don't know how other peo-
pie are on that score, but that is our bed
time, and we think that it comes nearer
being the hour for return than for going.
The first Of September is the time set
for the knitting factory to begin work.
That will be new industry for our town.
and Will no doubt be an incentive to bust
ness Of all kinds. We hope to see other
industries Of the kind soon started.
The editor is away this week, and If the
paper contains too much news, or not
enough, or it hits some body too hard a
blow, or not hard enough, or mention
some body it should not, and leaves some
unmentioned, that it should, we beg the
indulgence of the public,
We have often heard it SAID that the
young people Of Scotland Neck are not
social enough. We know something
about the older heads, and they do not
visit enough, There seems to be a spirit
of neglect in this matter any way that we
would do well to improve upon.
Scotland Neck had only 482 inhabitants
in 1880. We have not heard the returns
for this year, but suppose it must be near
a thousand. All We need to make this
town city by the time the next census
is taken is money. Give us that and II
another decade Scotland Neck will
have five thousand people.
Bill Nye writes to the bald-headed man
who asks for his advice on hair restora-
tives, as follows: Take your hair res
torative money and buy town lot in a
growing town that supports it home
paper and advertises, and go ahead, and
you will be fixed, and the man who is
| fixed don't care whether he has any hair
or not"
MOVED TO WILLIAMSTON.-Mr J. G..
Williams who has been for some time
| engaged in the furniture business in
| WILLIAMSON, has moved his family to
that town, He has succeeded in estab-
fishing himself in good work there, and
carries his family so as to be at home
with them. We commend them to the
good people of williamson. We always
regret to see good people leave Scotland
Neck. We hope they may yet live with
us again.

| A NEW FERTILIZER Riding through
| the beautiful farm of Mr.. Noah Biggs d
few DAYS ago, we were struck with the
difference in the verdure of one part o
the cotton from other. Mr., Davenport
the efficient manager, pointed out to us
the difference, and explained that 1t was
! due to a recent manuring he had giver
the cotton. He calls the fertilizer
| ''sereoHte." 1t is sold we learned by
Boykln, GARNER q Co., of Baltimore.
Others who have seen Mr.. Biggs' cot
ton express a wish that they could have
purchased some Of the same fertilizer.
| A QUARTER WORTH AT ONCE.-A
few days ago a gentleman who has never
been reader of THE DEMOCRAT under
the present management came and said
81 want quarters worth Of THE DEM
OCRAT,'
We asked him what issue he desired
He said he wanted to subscribe a quart
er's worth. We took the quarter, anC
before he left his name was entered anC
credited for six months.
After reading the next issue he met u
and said, Il got quarters WORTH
Now. If The DEMOCRAT is worth
quarter week, it seems to US that al
most any one could afford to pay cent
week-our regular price.
