fax, Scotland Neck * Greenyiile
Railroad qnl j. beautifully situ~
ated. 1t is In one Of the finest coun-
ties in North Carolina, and has in
creased very much in population and
Importance in the last few years.
The soil Is varied, and Is adapted to
the growth Of quite variety Of pro-
ducts. such as are suitable for the
sustenance Of man AMI beast, and
there is no good reason why the peo-
ole in such q county as this should
not he prosperous, happy, aad live
as well SIS any pee lie in any county
on the earth. The climate is fine,
tue air snd water pure the greatest
abundance and variety of woods,
railroad and water transportation
and other natural blessings collected
to make a people good and great, and
for which they should be thankful
and rej2ice.
But in general the people have not
taken advantage of these things, but
have pursued a course entirely un>
colied for, and the result is they
have fallen upon hard umes from
which it will take them years to re-
cover.
TIE DEMOCRAT does not suspend
week for the holidays, as is Gus
tomary with weekly newspapers, but
FORCES ahead. This is just like f.
Z. billiard, who Is ever up and do>
ing. His readers should appreciate
tbis eDterprising spirit in him by the
substantial encouragement he de-
serves.

lima Railroad is progressing finely ,
and it will soon be in full operation.
The weather has been very favorable
and the work has been pushed.
The Atlantic Coast Line is doing
wonders in Eastern Carolina. 1t

Work en- the Artcsian well and
hotel has suspended for the present,
but will he resumed as soon as the
Spring weather opens up.
Peach blooms have made their ap-
pearance in this section which shows

 St. Georgo's Day Celebrated Last
 EveniRg-Mayor Peck Responds for
 New Haven-All Enjoy Good Timo.
 Last evening was celebrated by the Sons of St. George and British American societies of the city in true hearty British fashion. About two hundred of the members and their guests sat down to the tables in the Aldrich house dining hall in honor of old England's patron saint, St. George. On the wall were flags of the United States and were all witty and to the point and were frequently interrupted by loud applause. In replying to the toast "New Haven" Mayor Peck spoke of his much banqueting since becoming mayor and of the danger of dyspepsia. Continuing, he spoke of the dangers threatening our country from the immigration that is pouring into the coun- try if the new corners do not assimi- late with our institutions. He com plimented finely the societies before him.
 For the "Ohurch" Rev. MT. Nichols said: The hero whose name one of your organiza- tions bears is pretty much myth. But there is one thing about St. George that is always true, and that is the dragon. It behooves you, Sons of St. George, to fight the dragon of intemperance, vice and sin and win fight like the hero of old.
 Judge Dsming, who was expected. could not appear and his place on the toast list was supplied by MT. Fleetwood of the Consoli- dated road.
 The selections of music and reoitations that were given afforded no small portion of the evenings pleasure, particularly 50 was the singing of Mrs. E. 0. Bennett, the piano selections of Professor Fowler and Mir. Fred Robbins. In replying to the toast, Law, MT. Herbert E. Benton spoke very effectively for man with nothing to say. He said that he thought law about the most unsatisfactory thing to talk about, but threw out the warn ing to beware of it.
 The memorable Bardel vs. Pickwick trial was given with full court present. Ser geant Buzfuz, alias Mir. A. N. Phelps, de- livered his argument to the jury with telling effect. The party adjourned in the wee sma' hours after singing Auld Lang Syne.
