That some from want to wealth arise,
Is oft matter Of surprise.
The secret in nutshell lies,
IT'S simply this-they advertise.
DIED. CroweIls on 10th, Mr..
Elisha Madry, aged 81 years. He was a
member Of the Baptist church, con-
sistent Christian and beloved by his
neighbors. He worked in the field on
Saturday and died Sunday.
TOBACCO sHIPPED.--On last Saturday
Mr., VIM. Hodges shipped two hogsheads
of tobacco to Oxford. They weighed no
and 720lbs respectfully. The grade was fine
and no doubt Mr.. Hodges got fine price
for 1t. We will give an account of the
sale.
BARBECUE-Mr. J. II. Futren gave
a fine barbecue and Brunswick stew at
his farm last Thursday. 1t was we'll pre-
pared and was enjoyed by large num-
Der of his friends whom he had invited.
We had the pleasure of attending and
have seen nothing more toothsome than
that dinner.
CLEVER PEOPLF.--Rev. Job Turner,
the deaf-mute who preached in the Epis-
copal church here two weeks ago, writes
to Rev. w. J. Smith that he was quite
favorably impressed with Scotland Neck
and its people. He says they are all
quite clever.
THE EXTENsION.-We learn from
Capt. R. o, Whitaker, that the extension
ofthe Scotland Neck and Greenvllle road
is being pushed rapidly towards Kinston.
1t will reach Kinston by 18th of Septem-
Der, and trains will then run through
from " eldon to that point.
WORTH sTUDYING.-We hope every
young man who lays hands on this paper
will turn to the first page and read DR..
Crowell's article on the education of
young men, clipped from the State LhrOn-
jcle. 1t is worth studying and following.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT MALTA nuns
Der Of our subscribers have recently
made com Plaint about their mails. We
hope the postmasters will see 10 it that
the papers are delivered to the proper
persons. We send out the paper prompts
~ every time and further responsibility
rests upon some one else.
FIRST TINIE.-We do not wish to make any
unfair impressions. We sometimes print
what people say good about our paper;
and now we have the modification of say
ing that a man came to our office and
said he dld not enjoy reading THE DENI>
OCRAT. But he added that he never en-
joyed reading anything. He preferred
having it told to him.
TEMPERANCE HALL.-We have author
ity from the managers of the Temperance
Association to extend an invitation to
the old soldiers who may be visiting here
next Tuesday pight, to attend and enjoy
the entertainment. There will be
special programme arranged. 1t will not
be public meeting at all, but the visit
ing old soldiers are invited. They may
expect pleasant entertainment.
WE THINK THEY N1GHT.--Now while
our merchant friends are going North to
purchase their stock of goods, THE DEM
OCRAT suggests that it is good time for
them to purchase seats to be attached to
their counters for the comfort of their
customers. There will be more goods
sold here this fall than in many, aud the
most comfortable store, with the lowest
prices will get the biggest trade.
HOBGOOD CANNING FACTORY.-We
have received sample of huckleberries
canned at Hobgood by Mr.. E. P. Hyman,
and they are well and neatly put up and
do credit to the business. Mr. Lyman
has led this section in the canning in>
dustry and we hope he will succeed, and
that others may do the same. Manu-
factories Will bring money and hustling
prosperity among US.
THE OLD GIVES WAY TO THE NEW
Mr.. d. Edmondson is having the small
wooden building between his brick store
and the drug store, and which is now
occupied by Mr.. J. E. Hancock, removed
to make room for brick building which
he will put up at once.
Thus the town is moving on. " 18th
present crop prospects, we predict more
building in Scotland Neck for the next
two years than in any two years of its
history.
STRIKE AMONG LABORERS.-On last
Monday morning when the hod- carriers
came to their work on the hotel, they
demanded higher wages. They were
told that their wages would not be raised
and so were dismissed. By the usua
afternoon hour for labor, however. a suf
ficient number of hands had been secured
and work was resumed. The second
story of the walls of the hotel will soon
be finished, and it now begins to show
that it will be an imposing building when
completed.
