MARKED IMPROVEMENTS
Being Made at the Ninth Spring
by MIR. III. j. Ham-The
Railroad Question Being Dis
cusSed.

Seven Springs, N. c., Aug. "a
DEAR ARGUs-News in this vicin-
ity is scarce. and there has been but
little interest manifested for the past
ten days in anything save the Crump-
Ter meeting, marketing of the fine
tobacco crop, for which this section
is noted, and the subject of a rail
road from Goldsboro to Seven
Springs. But we believe Mr.. Crump.
Ter has been the most prominently
discussed of any of the subjects
above named. His doctrine and
mode of expounding the Scriptures
has been scussed" and discussed by
almost everyone possessed with the
power of argument.
Mr.. Crumpler closed his meetings
Sunday. A conservative estimator
would give the number present as at
least 1000. There were one hun
dred souls converted and sanctified
altogether as a result of the meet
ing. Mr.. Crumpler goes from here
to Beaufort, where he commenced a
series of meetings Tuesday. He will
preach in Goldsboro in November.
Mrs. John W. Edwards and daugh-
terS, Misses Katie and Bessie, are
here, the guests of Mr.. II. J. Ham,
at Rural Retreat.
The work of identifying at the
Ninth Spring goes steadily on. The
grounds Immediately in front of
where the handsome hoiel will be
erected, has been divided off in
squares and separated by streets.
Mr.. Ham proposes to cut these
squares up into suitable cottage lots
and will give every other lot free te
desirable persons who will build
nice, neat cottages thereon. This
shows the push and energy with
which Mr.. Ham is possessed, and is
one of the many evidences which
points to the fact that the Ninth
Spring is the coming Summer resort
of North Carolina, and the future
will reveal what the pen cannot nov
foretell. G. A. B..
