AS we were travelling around in
town on last Saturday, We dropped in
to sec our old friend Josh Trump. We
were proud to meet Josh ana see him
looking \" we'll. Look here. Kay, We
haH" been talking great deal uhout
"nr di%rs,rrS, but il You could lust see
the kind OF book that Josh is ltrvlinu
up with. You would declare that such a.
thing was beyond the Interpretation of
the human mind. If Josh ever man
ages to crawl over this gent he will be
far JryUr.d the magicians.

Judge i. B Ellcsor lost his fine mare
last week. 1t is Thought she died from
eating too many peas.
Oh. yes, Kay, we are frank to ac-
knowledge, financially speaking. that
cur potatoes are small aud few in "A
hill, and there wnS no need of puttipu
yourself in the same category with us
in order to tell the public \ large

able to run twu-rnulr farm. Now take
heed. my dear old friend, those who
live in glass houses must no, cast
stones. AS to Mayor Hub Evans, he is
no "iggrr nor better man now than he
waS before he was elected. While we
have both privately and publicly udvo-
Gated his election. we have never tried

We were Il member Of court Monday
and Tuesday Of this wrck-a 30 cents
mcmbcr-not 81 30 mcmbcr as my old
friend Kay will be next week. On Mon
day we spent our noon and took dinner
with our kind friend the editor OF The
Herald and News. There We met Mrs.
Evans, that jovial, up-to-date good old
lady, the mother Of Mayor Evans.
Editor Aull always has his hands full
OF work, and he was pressed back to
duty In short while, but we were very
acceptably entertained by Mrs. Aull
aud Mrs. Evans during our short stay,
and when we meet with such hospitablc
people we never become Worried Il
would bc II blessing to humanity II our
country was filled with such noble
spirited women. See here, Kay, Clod-
hopper, Sigma, Josh Trump, Gee Huw,
and all tho rest, what you say abou.
that turkey dinner? We consulted
Mrs. Aull about the matter and she
said come and welcome.
The cotton crop is very near all
gathered, and fully two.thirds have
been marketed at Il price which has
palnlyZcd every industry in the State.
It's alarming to see the condition Of a
vast majority of people and to see
where we arc drifting. TO raise cotton
atl and cents is simply II sure method
OF starvation. If one could realize the
hours OF trouble and unrest such II statc
OF affairs has brought upon our form-
crs, their hearts would sink within
them. We have had several good let
tcrS written by the editors of The
Herald and News, the Observer, and
the Voice of the People, and Capt. Jno.
f. Banks and others along this line.
They have all shown us that the on)v
way of relief is by divcrsifying our
iarms-raising more home supplies.
ihls Is an unQncstionable fact, and ne
ccssity will drive the TURNER'S to Il fur
thcr practice Of this method. Here
seems to be the secret to the question.
There is a cause Of this depressed con-
ditiOn, and what is the cause? Has
anybody fully explained it? Not that
remember Some have said that it's
combination between the cotton
mills, banks aud merchants Now, nv
brother farmers, this is not the case SO
far as Newbcrry County is concerned,
for we have got the best set OF men in
management of cur banks, cotton mill
and mercantile establishments that
