WALTER, N. G, :
Nov. II. 1903.

BectOn spent Saturday night with
Mrs. HI. e. Trip at Greenleaf.
Mr.. Phil Crawford, Of Kinston,
spent several days here last week, on
business, returning home Saturday.
Mr.. Hugh Edwards, one of the
county teachers, spent Saturday and
Sunday with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. S. Edwards.
Mr.. Bill Thompson returned from
Charlotte last week where he went
to attend the funeral of his sister.
Mrs. Walter Cochrane.
Mr.. Geo. Edwards, of Magnolia, is
on a visit to his brothers, Messrs. Joe
and James Edwards, where his old
friends are glad to see him.
Mr.. Will Rose has a position on
the Southern with a run from Selma
to Primers Point. His friends here
wish him success.
Our young friend, Mr.. Luby Ed
wards is building a nice house near
Walter, which will add to the APP
pearance of that paLt of the COM
munity, when completed.
Messrs. Tom MCGEE, Geo. MCGEE
and James s.. Crawford, of your city,
were guests to dinner at Oak Glen
Monday, where we We're glad to see
them, but sorry they were disap-
pointed in their hunt in the after
noon.
The good people of Pine Forest
will give an entertainment, and
serve refreshments and oysters next
Tuesday night, Nov. Oath, for the
benefit of the new church.. Mr.. Thad
Yelverton. of Eureka, will be pres
ent with his graphophone, and will
give the crowd an hour or two of
solid enjoyment, which is we'll worth
the price of admission. The small
price of 10 and 20 cents will be
charged at the door. We trust they
may have a good crowd and help a
worthy cause
Apropos the agitation of theUnion
Depot, we would suggest, pardon
our presumption) that the Great
Eastern be converted into a Union
Depot. A spur track would be nee
essary, as it is immovable as the
Rock of Gibraltar and thus the city
would be rid of two annoying ques-
lions, and you would be spared much
<tcussin and discussin." Perhaps 1T
would be satisfactory to the owner,
and would make a better depot than
the present one, being right under
the shadow of the beautiful new city
hall. "That's the incidence"
Toby has traded horses again, and
now has a nice, little black mule,
with some few white spots on him,
which proves beyond controversy,
that he has Poland China blood in
his veins, and is entitled to registra-'
ton. In fact, we think he is the
regular sssunshine" strain, as he pre-
fers sunshine to shade, on a cold day.
He is a docile creature, will 'wait
for you'' any where and under all
sorts of circumstances, and having
been "Master of Transportation for
several years for two of your city's
popular merchants, will commence
to back up to the door if you say,
4sMoses load the dray with -four"
In the past week, we have heard
three of your city's finest business
men remark, that if they knew how
to farm, they would devote their re-
manning days to agriculture. There
is no doubt but that the quietude
and retirement of farm life, where
one is nearer to Nature and Natures
heart, is the happiest life n can
live. ssTo him, who in the love of
Nature, holds communion with her
visible forms, she speaks a varied
language.o Talk of farm life being
lonely! The loneliest we ever were,
was on 9Th Avenue, New York,
among thousands, and did not know
a soul. The birds, the kline, the
horses, the swine, the chickens, the
turkeys, the guineas, and last, but
by. no means least, the faithful dog,
are all our friends here in u rural
home, and we would not exchange
for a gilded palace on a fashionable
boulevard, where electric lights and
flowing fountainsand dazzling scenes
of beauteous splendor, the result OF
mans genius and skill might cause
