We now find ourselves in the
midst of the trucking season and
money is more plentiful among
all classes Of our citizens than it
has been since the cotton crop
was marketed last fall. The bus>
mess il e:ests of our town that
have been at a standstill for the
past few months have felt the
impetus that has been given by
the trucking industry and as a
consequence activity is noticed
in all lines of business. Our pao>
pie r always content with their
lot aid try to adjust themselves
to the circumstances in which
they are placed and last week
when the killing frost destroyed
such a vast amount Of their mon>
ey crop they reluctantly submits
ted to the great damage that had
been done and pulled up with
new resolutions to do the best
they could with what was left. It
is the unconquerable spirit Of
perseverance among our citizens
generally that has brought our
town to it's present proud pro-
portions and on this we rely for
the great strides forward that
we are expecting to make in bus
mess during the next few years.
What we have needed is a publ
cation through which to advers
tise to the world our varied res
sources and the new departure
of the ARGUS in establishing a
bureau at this place is a matter
of puolic qualification to all. The
success that the bureau has 'al-
ready met with is sufficient to
guarantee it's continuance. New
names are being added daily to
the subscription list and it is only
a question of a short while be-
fore the ARGUS will be read in
every home in Mt. Olive and the
surrounding section. Our bust
mess men who have inducements
to offer the pubic should make a
note of this and have their busi-
ness represented in the advertis-
ing columns of the Mt. Olive
page. Your advertisement will
show up we'll for the town aad
the large circulation of the
ARGUS at this place will bring
the desired results direct to you.

Messrs. Westbrook and Cul.
breth and Y. a. Knowles seem

they seem to have a rush. Peo-
pie will go where they see pub

paper.
Mr.. Peter Brazeal relates a re-
markable coincidence that occur
red recently. He says he set his
hook and an eel was the first
thing that was caught-then 9
cat fish concluded he would take
advantage of the eel, generally
so slick and %squirming, and pro-
ceeded to swallow him. The
crafty eel realizing his helpless
predicament, and a slick game i
was he played on the over con,
fident cat fish, for as the eel wa:
being swallowed he slidee
through the gills of the cat isl
and thus strung the cat fish 81
that Mr.. Brazeal caught the two
with one bait and one hook. Mr.
Brazeal can take the bag.
