Mr.. Geo W. Williams barn.
containing between three and
four hundred barrels of corn.
was totally destroyed by fire
about two o'clock Saturday morn
ing. II seems to have been the
work of an incendiary, as it was
fred from the western corner,
which. if the wind had not luck
lily changed would most probably
have burned the stables and a
large number of horses and
mules. Mr.. Williams is one of the
best men Of the whole communi~
ty and a gentleman that is liked
and greatly esteemed by all who
know him. His many friends will
regret to know of MS loss.
Thursday morning Mr.. W. D..
Price, was bitten by a dog SUP
posed to have been mad. In the
scuf1e with the dog Mr.. Price
kicked him down and put his foot
on the dogs neck, and called to a
colcred boy to bring him a stick.
The dog in the meantime kept
serambling and biting and sue
ceeded in biting MIR. Price soma
two or three times about the
Iankle. bruising in several plac' S
and drawing the blood in one.
Mr.. Prices many friends feeling
the deepest personal interest in
him advised and urged him to go
lat once to Baltimore where he
could take the pasture" treat
ment, SO he left Thursday night
accompanied by DR.. j. W. Kor-
negay for Baltimore. It will take
21 days to go through with this
treatment, which will be a long
time of interest and suspense to
his family and friends. Mr.. Price
is one of our very best c%'tize, ms a
successful farmer, and a man who
is respected and liked by every
body. One man like Mr.. Price,
is worth all the worthless ours
in the State. The numerous fatali-
ties of this nature should stand as
a monument OF rebuke to any weak
dneed Legislator, who voted against
the Dog Tax Bill.
Our farmers and truckers have
been making good use of the fine
weather up to this, in preparing
for their various crops. Intense
farming and Investigation Of
crops is what makes a community
prosperous and independent. W.

see more interest manifested in thu
cultivation of the tobacco crop,
Why not make Mt. Olive a tobac'

some of the finest tobacco lands ir
