have not yet sold their hundreds of
acres in North Danville, but we I'M
derstand it they will wait to do so.
At first they will rent farms in
North Carolina and as they are farm
ers of large experience in the dairy
ing business, they hope to make a
great success Of the same in the
South. Mr.. Davis told us when here

One day last week, at the end of
delightful June day walk, we gained
admittance to the cellar of Denny J.
Briggs. He was there before, we
were. When we left the cellar, it
was with a coat pocket distended
with apples, Pawaukees and fine

the year. Half-ripe strawberries, as
we see them now, are nowhere in
comparison with these apples.
Harry Whitney, a brother-in-law
of E. W. Bemis, is closing GU the
hardware stock of the old Bemis
store and we thought we found some
bargains there last week.
Hiram S. Drury, R. F. d. mail
carrier, Route No. 8, is taking a va

We have had occasion in the past
to speak of the fine potatoe crops
raised by our Belgian resident,
Theodore Alexander. An out of
town farmer, who was at Mr.. AL
exander's farm, on our South Hill,
one day last week, told us of his
surprise in finding what he did of
Mr.. Alexander's preparation for his
potatoe raising. He also told us that
Mr.. Alexander never uses the seed
end of potatoes in his planting, but
always cuts it off and discards it.
We are told that Chelsea and Will
Jamestown are making an effort to
unite for a superintendent of the
schools in the two towns. We suspect
that this effort will succeed.
