THURSDAY. AUGUST $, 1895.
The Populsts Of Ohio have noml-
mated Jacob S. CoHcy-he Of Coxey's
Army famc-for Governor.
THERE are numbers Of valuable water
powers in North Caroina-and right
here in Vance county-that are not
utilized.
NoFIH CAROLINA will make crops
this wear that will convert the most
rampant calamity howlcrs into good
citizens.
TuErE are many opportunities for
profitable investment in North Caro-
Ina. lave they heen properly set
forth as they should be?
NORrH CAROLINA wants intelligent,
thrifty white farmers and TO them she
can offer a prolific soil, splendid eli
mate and good market facilities.
TIE man who talks canning faCtO-
RES for North Carolina IS working in
the right direction. Our people ought
to pack their own fruits and vege-
tables.
How MUCH more we can accomplish
if we Will only unite in strong, deter
mined pull to build up Henderson
and make it the flourishing, prosper
Gus town that it ought to be
rHE new novel by Miss Winnie
Davis, announced some time ago, is
out 1t has been well received by the
public, the only thing said about it by
some of the critics is that it is too sad.
WIMlNGION has just completed a
census showing its population to be
22,o27. OF these, 9,482 are white and
2I,5i5, Colored There are S,555
school children in the city.
ALTHOUGH 1t may not appear to
many to be SO it is nevertheless fact
that North Cardinals summer climate
IS much pleasanter than that of the
Northern and Northwestern States
Extreme heat is much more common
there than here.
THERE IS plenty of good land in
North Carolina that will produce
enough IN one year TO pay the pur
chase price, acre for acre. Then why
may we not induce a desirable class of
immigration if the proper effort is
made along that line?
INDICATIONS are that the tide Of i'm
migration is coming Southwark, and
on account of North Cardinals supe-
nor advantages she ought to get
good share But this will not be done
without effort on the part Of those
most interested.
DURHAM had 4 disastrous fire last
week, property valued at $4,000 to
100000 being destroyed. The fire
started IN the Reams warehouse which
was burned, and extended to several
other buildings including Stokes Hall
and number of stores.
WE believe North Carolina is the
best State in the Union. She is des-
tined to become even greater-as 4
manufacturing, mining, and agricul-
tural Communlty-to say nothing Of
It's growth, educationally and relig-
iously. Now is most opportune time
to locate in her borders.
HENDERSON and Vance county
should be represented in substantial
way at the State Fair in Raleigh next
October, and then have the exhibit
sent 10 Atlanta, where much good may
result from display Of our products.
Now IS the time to begin preparing
for such an exhibit Save the best of
the farm products for this purpose.
THERE Is not better State in the
Union 10 live in than North Carolina.
Extreme heat and excessive cold are
uncommon, the soil is responsive to
proper treatment and cultivation, the
climatic seasons are favorable to all
crops, and our natural resources are
unsurpassed by any section. What
more can the thrifty farmer desire
than is here found:
THE droughtstrlcken, frost bitten
people OF certain sections of the North
west should turn their steps in the di-
rection of North Carolina. Consider
the soil, favorable climatic conditions.
