pany of two hundred at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. M. Palmer last
evening, at butterfly" social.
AS each guest arrived, a name was
pinned on his back, and he was re-

caused much merriment. Other games
were played. and the evening was
thoroughly enjoyed. Chas. Northrup

ing program, consisting of vocal solos

and required to stick their noses
through screen. The ladies, after a
critical inspection of the probosces,
proceeded each to select one that gave
the greatest promise of intellect OF
good looks behind it. In this manner
the company was paired off.
Thos. Davidson was chairman OF
the committee on refreshments and
had his seven helpers uniformed. He
led them in grand march through
the parlors previous to their descent

The Farmers Should Raise More
Poultry.

There is one thing The Express
believes would pay we'll in this Sec
ton, and that is poultry-raising,
even for the local market. Good
sized chickens sell here now at from
Is to % cents. Eggs sell at 20 cents
per dozen, and bring Is cents the
year round. There is no trouble in
getting the cash for them. The de-
mand is increasing all the time for
these necessary products of the farm.
An exchange says, and truly: The
reason for the increased demand,
and consequently higher prices, is
very evident. So many people have
left the farm and moved to cotton
mills, and the number of people who
raise their own chickens in the towns
and cities is constantly decreasing,
because as these places become more
populCus there is less opportunity
for raising chickens. The progress
i've farmers should take advantage
of this situation and prepare a place,
fencing it in properly, so as not to
have their crops injured, and get
ready for poultry-raising for market
on a more extensive scale. It will
furnish ready money all the year
round. Small patches of grain or
clover can be sown for the chickens
and thus reduce the expense of keep
ing them very materially. The ad-
vantages of diversified farming are
becoming more and more APPARENT

SHEEP H~USBANDRY.

MI. Thomas S. Norfeet Writes on the
Value of the Industry in Eastern
Carolina.
In your issue of November 9th, is
an article signed E., in regards to
sheep husbandry and, sad to say, it's
necessary corollary, the killing of
sheep by worthless dogs in BERTHE
County. I agree with E. in all he
says in regard to this being a good
sheep country and also the desirable
ity of dog tax. Now as to this being
a good sheep country, I have been
raising sheep about ten years; COM
menced with a flock of twelve, have
bought perhaps as many more, have
sold at least two hundred, and now
have about eighty. These were ordi-
nary native sheep to begin with, but
I have used thoroughbred Shrop-
shire sires for several years. Ny
sheep sheared about three pounds of
wool each when I commenced keep
ing them. They now shear five
pounds each. The lambs sold for
$3.50 each net; they now net more
than $500 each. In short, Mr.. Edi-
tor, since the Dinglcy tariff bill went
into effect-though mind you, I don't
say that is the cause of tiny sheep
have paid me $500 per head in cash.
beside the steady increase of the
flock to its present proportions.
The tax abstract shows about 1000
sheep in BERTHE County. The county
can easily support ten times, yea,
twenty times as maryland see the
money it would bring into the coun-
ty just at the time it is most needed,
that is, during the months of June
and July.
Now as to dog question. I have
kept from two to twelve hounds for
the past thirty years until now, un-
fortunately, am entirely out of them.
But I have neve seen the day when
I was not in favor of a dog tax, the
proceeds of which to be applied to
the payment for sheep killed by dogs.
Now the question of dog tax is up
to our Representative-elect

there IS a great slaughter of birds.
There IS a law making it punishable
by tine or imprisonment or both to
hunt birds in one township erich

owner or lessee of the land. We need
such a law for the whole county. 1t

The business men of Maxton are
making strenuous efforts to interest
the farmers of this section in the
production and cultivation of tobac-
co. Arrangements for a warehouse
and tobacco market is being made
and an experienced cultivator of the

terest the planters in the production
of this profitable crop.-Maxton

The farmers say small grain is
looking we'll. There is hardly as
much sown in this section as there
was last year.-This has been a
good year with the farmers of this
section. They have made pretty
good crops and sold them at fair
prices. The most of them have made
enough corn for their own use for
another year and will make their own
meat. We have heard no complaint.
Everybody seems to be happy and
contented.-Sanford Express.
Neal & Gorrell, of this city, have
purchased the tobacco warehouse ats
Mullins, S. c., which they have been
running for some time. Mullins is
a growing tobacco market, and will
handle 100000 pounds of the leaf
this year.-Mr. P. H. Cation, living
in Clemmonsville Township, this
county, raised a squash vine this sea-
son which produced 335 good and
ripe squashes. Our informant says
that the vine, when at its best, was a
curiosity to see.-Mr. II. A. Lewis,
living near Spot, this county, has
been enjoying ripe and palatahle
watermelons which were pulled from
the vine December Sd. This is truly
a wonderful country and climate in
which to live, while this year it has
been exceptionally so upon things
green and growing.-Winston Re-
