MONEY IN TRUCK RAISING.
Such is the report that comes
from the New Berne
Truckers.
ALL HAVE MADE MONEY.
The Shipments Up-to-Date Have
Been Large and Prices Good
With the Best Crops
Yet to Come.
ALL HAVE MADE MONEY

Last week marked the larg-
est shipments of truck from the
New Berne. N. c., sections Tor
many years. The shipment were
immense greater than was ever
expected when the seed were
deposited.
The different characters of
transportation were bothered to
handle the many packages that
were consignen to their routes.
Besides the immense quantity
that left stations near New Berne,
steady trains of farm team could
be seen night and day passing
through New Berne headed for
the railroad stations and steam>
er docks. Both boat and trains
lett daily on schedule time, laden
to their highest capacity with
truck and Notwithstanding the
amount that left by these routes,
daily, packages were forced over
for the next days shipments.
Cabbage shipments will last
about two weeks longer. One of
the largest truckers remarked
few days ago, that he had "cab>
bages to burn," and that this
crop alone would put him cover
the fence in other words, he
would suffer no loss in his in
vestlnents in truck for the year
1897. That's true-every trucks
er will have occasion to rejoice
over his success in truck this
year, and it will be of interest to
quote from them when the crops
are laid by.
The pea crop has about reach
ed its end. The last pickings
will take place this week. The
vines of the early peas, and small
paintings have already been cut
and housed. They are excellent
to feed stock with, and were gath
cred for that purpose. The truck
ers were little put out last week
when the price of peas dropped
considerably in New York city.
The over-supply was the cause
and itseems that everybody from
this State and Virginia shipped
to this market On the two days
that the price was down. The
local spectators "got it in the
neck on those days, and wore
a long face when the returns
were read.
The pea and cabbage crop has
been a great success, and with
those two crops the trucker has
made the "stuff, not to even
mention the crops of turnips,
strawberries, asparagus, beets
etc. These all brought excellent
profits.
Shortly the bean crop will be
going, then the greatest of all
crops-the Irish potato

Speak Kindly.

Speak kindly, in the morning,
it lightens the cares of the day,
and makes household and all
other affairs move along smooth
ly.
Speak kindly at night. For
it may be that before the dawn
some loved one may finish his
or her space of life for this world
and it will be too late to ask for
giveness.
Speak kindly at all times, it
encourages the downcast, cheers
the sorrowing, and very likely
awakens the erring to earnest
resolves to do better, with
strength to keep them.
Kind words are a balm to the
soul. They oil the entire machin-
cry of life. and keep it in good
