We are in receipt of a card from

of Wilmington, asking us to write up
the war "reminiscences of Fork town
ship, which he says suffered most OF
any part of the county. Although
| just entering upon our fourth SUM
mer at that time, we remember very
distinctly many things Whic III trans
pired, and when We. can get snffI cient
information to interest your readers
we will give it in connection with
what we saw, and remember, Per
haps it will interest some at least.
| Well, they have gone and dlscov'
l ~ aver
waited till the cotton was all out noI
the big hunt in Africa was called off
either. DR.. Cook says it looked like
or was about the size of a twenty-five
cent piece. Why he did not add five
cents more and say it looked like thir-
ty cents, we cannot conceive, unless
he happened to find it when the Es
quimaux and grizzlies were having ;
special sale, and everything wa.
marked down, and now Peary comes
in and claims the persimmon. But ST
far as we are concerned, either o
them are welcome to it, for we haven
time to go to see it, and will bet {
good chaw terbaccer if they had me
there on the spot their contention'
for the honor would have been ST
warm that the thing would have melt
ed, and neither would have gotten tn
persimmon, nor the pole either. Any
way, we are glad it has been discov
!, cred. and we are expecting every da.
for some enterprising fellow to stalk
a claim there and advertise for set
j tiers. Then. maybe we will go.
If the cotton crop in this section i
fair sample, we do not see wher
anything like half crop is comin
from. Those who are picking, sa
it is exceedingly short, and in man.
fields where the weed is suffi cient fo
a bale, and over, per acre, there vii
not be gathered more than half
bale. While the farmers badly nee
every cent they can get for it, W
hope the same mistake will not
made that was last year, in putin
the minimum price too high.
The weather has been doirg stunt
for the past week or more that we1
