already mentioned, and a small piece Of
poplar that was split off one side of the
seat. The damage was triling, and the
horse which was caught shortly after
ward, was uninjured. 1t is probably .un-
necessary to remark that the buggy
which withstood the trying ordeal so
handsomely was high grade Carolina"
Changed Hands.
Mr.. J. P. Darlington, formerly connect
ed with the "Tidings From the Craft"
now published by w. B. deLoach, ESQ.,,
has bought from Mr.. w. H. Miller the
Shelby Aurora and taken charge at once.
Mr.. Darlington was the founder of. The
Aurora, having established 1t q years ago
and sold 1t to Mr.. Miller six years later.
He goes back to his first love, therefore,
with free understanding as to what he
may expect. Mr. Miller has not indiea-
ted his intentions as to the future.
Hurt IateFnalIy.
Little johnnie salters, oldest son OF
Mrs. r. E. Salters, who is visiting her
mother, Mrs. DR.. John May, ST., was
seriously hurt last Wednesday afternoon
while playing with some other little bo9 g
about the machinery Of an old cettengin
on the premises Of Rev. L. A. Johnson,
ON East College street. Although no bones
were broken, the little fellow was painful
l. ly bruised and will probably be confined
to his bed for several days.
It Would BE q Good idea.
THE ENQUIRER has heard rumor that
is alleged to have come from headquarters
on the Chester and Lenoir, to the effect
that the management Of that road is con-
sidering the advisabirity Of doing away
with one Of the daily freight trains and
putting on instead another daily passenger
train. IF this should be done the sched-
ules can be 80 arranged that people living
along the line Of the road will be enabled
TO get almost anywhere and back without
the vexatious loss of time that is OCCASION
ed by the present miserable schedules.
It is sincerely hoped that there is great
deal in the story more than mere rumor
and that the railroad management will
not take 1t out In talk.
Back Frsm Florida.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. L. Thomasson return
ed from Florida last Friday, both well
pleased with their visit. A reporter for
TIE ENQUIRER has had short talk
with Mr.. Thomasson since his retarn,
especially in regard tc that eight acre
patch Of celery which he mentioned in
his recent letter as having sold for $A 600.
1t seems that the expenses in connection
with the production of the crop and pre-
pairing it for market, amounted to 3l6,0 900.
In the first place the business requires
unusual knowledge and skill. There
must be perfect facilities for irrigation.
the crop must receive the closest attention
from start to finish, the bleaching is q
very particular process, and the sale,
packing and shipping require business
capacity of high order. However, peo-
pie who thoroughly understand their
business are able to realize enormous
profits. But celery is not the only profit
able crop. Large numbers of people
make big money in the production OF
strawberries, sometimes as much as $500
and S4OO to theacre. Cabbage and other
vegetables pay handsomely; but taken all
in all, healthfulness included, as to
whether Florida is as desirable a section
to. live in as this, Mr.. ThoInasson Is ex-
ftremely doubtful, notwithstanding the
fact that his visit was confined to one Of
the most favorable seasons Of the year.
