WALTER LETTER.
The Doings of a Week in and
Around This Thriving
Neighborhood.

N. U,
April II, 1904.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Howell, of
your city, were out here last Sun
day afternoon.
Miss Susie Cox and Ella Howell,
of your city, were visiting Mrs. w.
f, Rose last week.
Mrs. Frank Newsome, from Nor
folk, and Mrs. Fate Benton, from
Princeton, were visiting in our COM
munity last week.
Mr.. John Leslie, from Moore
county, near Lemon Springs, was in
our community last week, on a visit
to special friends, prospecting.
Mr.. Phil Crawford, from Kinston,
spent last Wednesday night here,
returning to your city Thursday to
attend the entertainment there that
night.
Messrs. Jethro Howell, Carl Swim
son, Edmund Hooks and Miss Sallie
Hooks spent Saturday night and
Sunday at Mr.. Bud Lynch's, in
Johnston county.
The seats for the new church at
Pine Forest have arrived, and are
being put in place this week, and
nov it will soon be ready for dedica-
ton. It is a handsome church and
q credit to the community.
From the looks of the beans and
peas around here, it does not look
like the frost last week did any ma
terial damage, though it may have
given peas a backset for a few days,
where there were many blooms.
Mr.. Bob Caldwell returned home
Sunday from Lemon Springs, where
he has been for several weeks help
ing to nurse his sister, Miss Dixie
Lee, whose death occurred last Fri
day after an illness of nine weeks.
We see some farmers putting out
guano and listing ready to plant this
week, but we think it time enough
yet, and as we have only seed
enough to plant Il time, we shall
not begin until the last week in the
month. The moon will be right,
too, then.
Little Misses Hazel and Mildred
Crawford gather up the eggs at Oak
Glen, every afternoon, and keep a
daily record of the number each day.
From the 7th of March 'till the 1st
day of April, they brought in $50,
Just forty dozen (and it wasn't a good
month for eggs either). A good
breed of "DunghilIs'' is hard to beat
in Smelling out quarters, with hen
fruit in demand, at good prices, such
as has been paid the past winter.
The death of Miss Dixie Lee Cald-
well, at Lemon Springs, last Friday,
has cast a gloom over our entire
community, where she was univer.
