The land sale advertised in The
Times to take place at Turbevilie last
Friday was we'll attended, and all OF

We think it would be we'll for the
Representatives TO meet with the Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners Januaryl7th
to ascertain from them the needs OF the
county, and to get from them as near
as possible the financial statutes. There
is nothing obligatory for the Represen-
tatives to attend this meeting, but in
our Judgment it will be profitable to
each and every one.
On New Years day the colored peo-
pie from all over the county will come

! patton, There are two factions en-
deavoring to vie with each other to at
tract a large attendance, and between
the two they should succeed in making
this one the greatest in point OF attend
ance they have ever had. Both factions
will have bands of music, and speakers
and both will have elaborate programs
