the Greensbo- >>week on WIS.,
pany, was here tn %ellington

Mr.. Wishart, like all true sons o. !,
Robson county, loves his old
home and comes back at every

A Mr.. Rowland, who is connected |
with the party which is surveying |
the proposed line Of railroad to
connect Hub with some point on
the Wilson short cut, was here
Monday. AS at present proposed
the new line will not touch Lum-
berton.- but from suggestions
thrown out by Mr.. Rowland we are
led to believe that ;ican be brought
here if sufficient inducements are
offered.
The man who makes plenty to
eat is in independent circumstan-
ces at least whether tobacco or
cotton sells low. But he who has
to buy his supplies for family and
stock and then pay the running
expenses of the farm out of the
proceeds will find himself coming
out behind every time. Let our
farmers think over these things
and turn over new leaf this year.
