EDITORIAL MENTION.

We are on the shady side of
the year 1903, and thousands
of people in the North, East
and West are listening to
hear something about South
ern Pines. Is there circular
or a leaflet in existence that
could be gotten to send to en-
quirers? We do not think
there is, but if some one will
furnish us with a two column
article descriptive Of the town
we'll publish it free, and then
furnish copies of the paper at
the same price to send those
who want to know something
about the town.

Why was it declared Vacant?

There appears to be some
speculation concerning Mr..
Beard and his connection
with the office of Waterworks

er resigned. and as his office
was declared vacant, he has
many friends who would be
glad to know the particulars.

missioners has the right to
