In That Thriving Neigh
borhO0d.
Miss Rena Butts, from your city,
was visiting the Misses Dixon last
| week.
Miss Berta Crawford returned
| from your city last Saturday, after a
pleasant visit to relatives there.
Mr.. Hugh Edwards, who has been
attending school at Guilford College,
returned home last week for vaca-
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sasser, from
near Smithfeld, spent Saturday
night and Sunday with MI. 3. H.
Sasser and mother.
Mr.. Jno. Lane, From Stony
Creek, was visiting his brother Mr..
w. Ii. Lane, our merchant at Grass
mere, last Sunday.
Our truck farmers have not gotten
rich on peas and beans this year. In
fact, we doubt whether it is profit
able to farm and truck, too. If any
money is made from truck with the
average farmer, it is at the expense
.af his other farm products.
We think that if the resolutions
passed by the last County Conven-
ton are revoked it Will be a blow to
the party, coming at a most critical
time. The majority Of the voters
are in favor Of primary, and are
also in favor of the most popular
man being elected, and not in hav-
ing 4 few to say whom shall we vote
for? The party needs to weigh we'll
the result Of this step before taking
it, or they may see the error Of their
way too late.
Dr. and Mrs. VIII Crawford spent
last Tuesday night at the delightful
home OF GIr. and Mrs. j. NJ. Wood,
near Boston, where they were joined
by Mr.. and Mrs. j. B, Exum, Of
Saulston. The hospitality Of their
host and hostess cannot be described,
it must be enjoyedto be appreciated.
On Wednesday evening all were Civ
en- q fishing party at Mr.. Woods
mill, ct Which place the pleasures Of
the crowd were enhanced by the
presence Of Judge and Mrs. w. S.
OBJ. Robinson, OF your city. It was
an enjoyable occasion, and viii long
be remembered by the participants.
The entire community deeply
sympathize with Mr.. and Mrs. AL
bert Howell in the death of their
bright little boy Harry, which oc-
Cured Tuesday, after a brief illness
ofcbolera infantum. Human words
fail to soothe the anguish of a fond
father and loving mother, and as
this their first grief, makes its i'm
print upon their hearts, they have
the comforting assurance that while
his merry prattle is hushed in their
home they have a stronger tie than
| ever, which now links them to that
"Home Beyondthe River, ITO which
he has taken his flight. May this
thought comfort and sustain them in
this sad hour Of their bereavement.
Well, the withdrawal ofBro. Rob
inson from the Congressional race
leaves us to remain in statu quo.
We were 'lectioneering for his place
on the editorial staff, and had Dor
rowed a HJim-swinger'' and a silk
hat, had been in training develop
ing I'll pugilistic propensities, and
was just fixing to get there, and by
strict attention to business eight days
to the week and nine nights shave
decent living, and decente burial
off the end of a siX-for-five cents pen
icil. Not to be outdone after our out
lay, if we had our back cured anC
some one would run us in the Sena
torial race on shares we would de
clare ourself. But we will ego way
back and sit down."
