"One Of the beet signs that the
people in this section are better off
and more prosperous than they have
been for long tine Is indicated by
the subscription list of the Wee7ly

Within the last few DAYS three Of
our patrons have paid up to '93, and
yesterday a gentleman came in that
we had relied upon as responsible
man and settled up for four and one
half years Indebtedness. Does this
sound like hard times? Surely not,
aud it is not. The indications are
that the people OF this section are
better off today than for years, and
with a future more promising than
ever known.
The splendid crops of 1890 and
the unparalleled truck season this
year has worked untold benefits.
Besides from direct results accrued
the tendency has been to inspire new
hopes and establish greater conf
dence among monied men.

THE COUNTRY AND
THE TOWN.

Now and then one may hear some
slight remark by man from the
country about town people, and the
same by a man from tue town about
country people. In truth there IS
sort of prejudice existing in tue
minds OF many-the country people
against the town or city people, and
the town or city people against the
country people. This is ali very
great blunder. The interests OF the
town people and country people are
mutually dependent. No country
man ought to feel any uneasiness or
uupleasantness at the b0ilding up OF
the towns, neither ought town people
feel any uneasiness at the prosperity
Of the country people.
Persons have remarked to Us that
they thought we were making too
much effort to build up the town and
doing too little to build up the
country.
They do not understand that max
ing town prosperous makes the
surrounding country prosperous also.
Suppose, for illustration, that
Scotland Neck should grow during
the next five years to city of ten
thousand population. What farmer
! within O radius OF at least twenty
miles of this place would not be
benefited? What land owner within
ten miles would be willing to take so
per cent. more for his land than he
would ask for it to-day?
The prosperity of the town gives
prosperity to the surrounding coun-
try. Now, we do not mean that if a
number Of farmers conclude to move
to town simply to live in town with
out anything to dr., it will brln"
prosperity. 1t will bring it neither
to the town nor the country. But
when town grows upon the basis
thatft furnishes something for people
| to do and remunerates them Tor it, i,
is great blessing to the country
around.
With thrifty population of ter
thousand people in Scotland Neck
the farmers of the surrounding
country would double theirprosperity
in few years and reap as mach
benefit as the town people themselves
One great trouble with many
country people is this: When they
see their nearest town begin to grow
rapidly they conclude that there
| must be mOney-a fortune there
and SO they be- ome dissatisfied and
move without properly counting the
cost and properly estimating their
| chances.
The man who has anchored himself
on the farm for life and sticks to il
to make the most of il, cJme what
may, will find that the growth and
prosperity of his nearest town means
prosperity TO him. And if he is
wise, be will do everything he can to
encourage a healthy growth of the
town. 1t will give them better
market and quicke: market. With
ten Thousand people il Scotland
Neck The country housewife who now
gets IL cents q dozen for eggs would.
always get 20 cents. And so with
ell she might have to sell.
But in these days of blind prejudice
people take more interest in airav; no
themselves against each other than
in working for their own Interests.
