eChronicling of a Weeks Events in

bOrhOOd.

Miss Annie Yelverton, ofStantons-
burg, is on a visit to her sister Mrs.

Mr.. Milford Aycock, from Great

Mrs. P. C. Caldwell and Miss Ger

The death of Mrs. Will Holloman,
which occurred yesterday moning,
has cast a gloom I'VE the commun-
ity. She was a good woman, and a
kind neighbor. She leaves a hus-
band and two small children; one
only five months old. The bereaVed
family have the sympathy of the
neighborhood.
Mr.. Joe Rose went to Johnston
county Saturday and purchased a
wagon load of sheep. If nor of our
farmers would do likewise, and
then get rid OF some of the worthless
dogs, they would find it the most
profitable investment they ever
made. Lambs at So a piece is more
clear money to the square inch than
cotton at Is cents per pound.
There is an epidemic of ssgrip" in
our community and most every one
is suffering with Hyperaemia of the
mucus membrane of his smell
ling apparatus, which necessities
his blowing his wv horn. This
gives that member a strawberry
blonde color, which at first appear
ance is suggestive of having left
your cityFEat 12:25and returned at3, y
but this is not the case, and we thus
remark, that non Of our people may
be accused Wrongfully.
With the advance in the price Of
guano and other things, that the
farmers will have to buy, in proper
ton, we doubt whether the farmers,
especially the small farmer and ten
ants, will be any better off two years
hence, than they would have been,
had they sold their cotton for eight
cents, and prices had remained as
they were. OF course, that class of
farmers who make home supplies,
and cotton a surplus crop, would find
a difference, but they r not in the
majority.
While there is so much moving
going on, we are glad we haven't
got to move, unless the thermometer
would agree to climb the scale It'll
we got settled. It is the intense cold
that we would MORALLY dread; oul
effects would not give us much
trouble, as they are like angels Wis
its, few and far between. 1t com
forts, and consoles us to know, If WE
had to move, all we would have t.
do would be to extinguish the com
bustion and 'smutch" our canine.
The Basket Party at Ebeneze
had to be postponed on account 0
the weather, and took place on Sat
urday night. There was a goo
crowd present, and thirty odd do
lars was realized. Miss Eugenia Car
delighted the crowd with her graph
ophone. The bidding was spirited
some of the Baskets bringing fame
prices. The prizes were awarded
Miss Anna PiRsin and Mr.. Leonar
Smith. To MIS- Do4a Atkinson
due the success Of the pleasant oee:
sion, and now a library is an assure
fact.
