MR., r. E. Pipkin, the popular
excursion manager, is receiving
daily inquiries about his excur
sion to Asheville on The 18th OF

ali three of them left for New

q very modest circumstances
and the neighborhood chippet

farmers of that section, brough
to this Office to-day a full grow
sweet potato of this years croI

year was ten days earlier tina
this. Mr.. Roberts is not only
fine farmer, but brings to thi
market some of the finest bacor
which is eagerly sought after by a
those who have once made pun
chases of him. Combined wit
his other excellent qualities is th
fact that he was a brave Confee
crate soldier, who only laid dow
his arm in obedience to the con
pact at Appromattox.
