Among some of the largest farmers who
live in and around Red Springs l must
give something of the history Of a few.
First, Mr.. A. I. McCallum, who is erect
ing~a handsome residence in Red Springs,
a picture of which is shown in this pa
per. He owns a tract, altogether 100
acres. One of his farms is four miles
from Red Springs and rents for $3.50

money farming by raising his own hog
and hominy."
Then there arc Neil r. Brown, W. r.
Webster, r. l.. Pate, and d. 3. Nc
] o2I, who have in cultivation from 100
to 1IJ acres.
I am reliably Informed that that there
is a good deal OF maple, poplar and dog
wood timber not far from Red Springs,
and this suggested che idea to me that
this would be good location for shuttle
block factory, furniture factory spoke
and handle factory, sash, door and blind
factory, and many other manufacturing
establishments that require such timbers
There has been some suggestion look
ing to the erection Of q cotton factory

would he a wise business Investment
The competition IS growing greater all
the time, and the day is nera at hand
that, instead OF carryin. the cotton to the
mill, the mills will be carried to the cotton
fields.
The business opportunities here are
apparent to the casual observer. There
is no place that combines more adyan-
tages for business with society more
eleyating. The man who is looking for a
location requires the social environment.
the school facilities, the church privileges
and the healthy conditions that are all

things that people whose judgment nev-
