Last season the GOldsboro ice
factory furnished ice for this place
at 60 per hundred. This season they
charge Sl.00 per hundred. What is
the matter? 1t can be no short crop
dodge this time, because water is
plentiful and the ice is manufactured.

taking lessons from the North in

Mrs. S. Z. Murray of Warsaw
sent us by mail box of those fine
Strawberries, the MURRAY Seeding"
Ia new and excellent variety dis
covered by herr last Saturday. They
were in tight box for "a hours be-
fore opened and were in fine con-
ditiOn. The flavor is very fine. 1t
is probably the best berry on the
market, certainly better than any
other we have seen.
Larger shipments of wberries
and truck have been made from this

The bean season opened Monday.
The first shipment was made by
Walter Faison. Shipments were also
made the same day by Messrs. Rob-
inson Boykin and John Holmes. Mr.
J. E. Royal followed close with
shipments on Tuesday. The outlook
is for big crop. Large quantities
of Irish potatoes and turnips will al.
so be shipped. Shippers have beer
experiencing good returns and are
in good spirits.
We notice that in three-fourths Of
the counties in the State that court
calendar is published several weeks
before each court, so that each party
having business, may know jus
what day to come. 1t should b,
done in this county also. 1t is 81
outrage to make parties to suit an,
their witnesses come Monday an(
stand around all the week waitin,
for hearing. If Judges and Law
yers suffered any Inconvenience
for such an arrangement, they
would have charge made immedi
ately But it is the farmer or countr,
citizen only who sufferes, so he hin
self must demand a change if he
ever gets it.
