BETHANIA, March 5-Evan Tran

of the same vicinity are very good
friends and they never miss an OPP

large procession was formed at the
upper end of Pfaftown headed by
Doub as captain, gorgeously decora

ribboned in handbook style and
accompanied by mounted body

Every thing worked beautifully.
They marched down the street and
around the house in the best of order
enlivened by splendid music. Just as
they completed the circuit of the
house and Doub sprang from his
horse, Evan FASTENED to meet him
and like children they clasped each

They had "a good time; 125 persons
were on hand and every one in his

HER DREAM.
Specification of a Young Woman's
Peculiar Dream.

Talking of dreams, a young mar
ried woman had peculiar dream the
other evening. She dreamed that
she with her baby was preparing to
get into train. The first step was
rather high, and she requested
gentleman to hold her baby while
she got in. He consented, but before
he could return the infant to the
arms of its mother, the train started
aud left without the child. The grief
of the young woman was intense,
and so troubled was her mind that
she awoke. Her relief at finding it
all a dream was so great that she
decided to buy book on dreams
and learn what it all signifed. On
turning to the index she found that
such a dream as she experienced lore
told that the dreamer would receive
twice as much as he had lost. "What
should l get," she said to friend
innocently, that would be twice as
much to me as my baby % ''Twins,"
said her friend laconically, and she
has not spoken to him since.

THE UNDEvELoPED SOUTH.

Development has been seen in the
West and Northwest, but the devel-
opement of the next decade will, we
think, be in the South. This region
has not been advertised as others.
Capital and immigration, if we can but
invite them, will make wondrous
change. People do not know enough
about the South. Read this from
the New York Financial News:
The statement of Robert p. Porter
that the South is the leading lumber
country OF the United States may
excite surprise; in fact, any statement
about the true resources OF the South
Is calculated to surprise most North
ern and q good many Southern peo-
pie. The South Is Yet in sense an
undiscovered country. The real
effort to develope the natural re-
sources of the whole South is not
over twenty-five years old. People
knew before the war that cotton was
raised in the South; about all tie

the capa bilities OF that country has

, cotton, the value of cottCnseed and
how to utilize it is IA very recent dis

heard that Arkansas has more naVl-
gable river water than any other
State in the Union? How many
people know anything ofthe immense
country subject to overflow from the
Mississippi which might be saved
from it just as Holland has been re
claimed from the ocean? How many
Americans know how much salt, how
much iron, how much gold, there is
IN the South? From present. APP
pearances some portions of the
south will be field Tor investigation

From the Wilmington Messenger.
We have positively known several
farmers in one year in one county
Granviile-to realize fully 81 900 for
each workingman employed upon
one crop of tobacco. In addition
they raised pork. wheat, corn, pota-
toes, peas, etc. We have known two
or three men to exceed even these
high, startling figures. We have
known this: one man and negro
boy IA years old, in one year made a
crop of tobacco that sold at Oxford
for 81 ,4O0-$1OO more than the
farmer offered to sell his farm for the
year before.

views. If there is an overproduction
OF tobacco this is not exceptional for
there is an overproduction of nearly
everything.

circular they say: We feel at liberty
to direct especial attention to the
Blue Ridge section of North Carolina

So much is said these days of the
'Cuckoo" in politics that we think
we should quote this definition from
the Atlanta Constitution: "The
political cuckoo is not new bird in
our history, but during the last
twelve months the breed has spread
and grown very rapidly. A
cuckoo is a political bird that ruffies
his feathers only when the clock
strikes. He may bow to the buzz
wheels only when inside the clock,
but he fully believes that the pendu-
lum is the motive power of the ma
chinery, and he makes his lowest bow
to that. Your true political
cuckoo is for the people when he is
at home, and against them when he
goes to Washington. He is for the
Democratic platform until the time
comes to vote, and then he is the
mouthpiece and echo of the door
keeper of the patronage trough
The mercantile agency report a
continued decrease in failures, not
only in numbers but in Importance.
District improvement is noted at
Louisville, Memphis and Mobile, be-
sides some Northern and Western
cities. Thirty factories have resumed
and only two have shut down.
Baltimore reports an unfavorable
trade South. IN improvement is
noted at Augusta, Ga, since the
check to business due to bad weather,
and at New Orleans financial inter-
ests are awaiting with interest the
settlement of the sugar tariff. Louis
vile reports sales of seasonable
goods and a firm tobacco market.
Local conditions are about the
same, but we understand that freight
and passenger traffic is increasing.
Our business men believein the future
of WinstCn-Salem and are looking
forward with hope to a general re-
sumption of work at all our factories.

most entirely in the South, We seek |
to know the quotations and reports |

The business men have been interview
ed within the past week about the pro-

to assist in building up the interests of
the town.
A building 50x100 feet, with two floors
and capital stock of $4,000 would
place the necessary machinery in it to
furnish employment for about thirty
men.
The following are few articles that
will be manufactured:-Draw pulls,
knobs, rosettes, wood castors, organ rods
and stops, base ball bats, floats for fish
nets, scythe snath handles, spinning tops,
rolling pins, druggists boxes, hubs and

At the Congregational church last Sun
day evening, after a sermon on the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, the following
resolution was adopted:
Hon. M. E. Ingalls,, Pres't Of the G. G. C.
& st. L. R'y,. Cincinnati.
Dear Sir:-FrOm careful observation
of the Sunday excursions that have been
run over your road during the present
season we judge them to be an unneces-
sary infringement Of the rest and quiet
Of the Sabbath, injurious to the welfare
and morals of those who patronize them,
and contrary to the best sentiment Of the
community.
We, therefore, members Of the church
and congregation Of the First Congrega-
tional church Of Wellington, as friends
and patrons Of the road, and mindful of
its otherwise excellent service, beg to
present our very respectful request that
the running of Sunday excursions be dis
continued.
