We stated last week that Mr.. ID.
b. Nicholson would be a candidate
for Reading Clerk before the next
legislature. He tells us that it is Il
mistake. We We're mislead by a
statement made by another paper.
The Mosely Store on the corner
of Fla. etteville ard Sycamore streets
is bei'.g put under repairs. Mr.. c..
a. Clute will soon move The Alliance
Store there. He is badly crowded
in his present quarters, besides the
capital Of the business is to be in

The fair was a big success iii
every way and above all financial
success, though we greatly regret
that the executive committee n its
wisdom saw fit to admit the games
tiers upon the grounds. Those fol-
lows must have taken off It least
ten times the amount they paid for
the "privilege," and if they had
not, their presence has bad effect
upon young men especially.
President Pigford should feel
highly grained at the success Of the
Sampson Fair this year. Being one
IF the peoples standard bearers in
the late campaign, he was unable
to give it much attention until the
last few weeks. The exhibit was
not as large as we have seen it, but
the quality of it has never been
surpassed.
The State Chronicle (Raleigh,
N. CO. says: Ra.Gh Fisher, aged
sixteen, of samp II county, presid-
ed at the grand xgan IN Edenton
Street M. E. church at the services
last Sunday. He is blind and is a
pupil of the Deaf and Dumb and
Blind institution here. HIS man
agement of the great instrument
was very good and he won many
many compliments.
We see that canning factories
are being esta blished and run sue
cessfully in many parts Of the
State. There is no place where one
would pay better than here. Nearly
half CT the strawberry crop was in
the fields last year. when the price
in the truck markets got too low to
pay express expenses. What can
surpass a canned strawberry? The
remainder of this crop alone which
was wasted, not to mention, peas,
beans, and other truck crops would
have been Il rich thing for factory.
Then too here are our huckleberries,
fruit, tomatoes etc. We must have
more enterprises Or never be in any
better condition than at present.
How about q cotton factory for
Clinton. If there is a single factory
in the State that is not paying
handsome dividends, we have not
heard of it. Judge Arnfield when
here holding court told us of a young
man in his section who bought a
cotton factory on time aad paid for
it out of his profits in few years.
Clinton must do something. Can't
| Our business men hold n oantino
and discuss the matter. We do
not expect TO get every body to
agree, for some men kick at every
thing. But there are we believe
enough progressive men to put Il
factory on foot.
