Low Land Wheat is a Success.

Dunn.-Farmers surrounding Dunn
are now experiencing the first good
result of the war, so far as it af-
fects them. The great small grain
crops have matured, and yields sur
pass even the most sanguine expecta-
lions. Though inexperienced in small
grain culture, each Carolina farmers
have proven to their own satisfaction
that wheat, rye and oats can be made
the most profitable products of their
fields. The yield of wheat in Harnett
and Sampson counties have averaged
about twenty-five bushels to the acre.

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
Of Course Young Mother Could Only
Reason That the Fault Must Be
With the Scales.

The story is told of a young mother
who, after her first baby had been
born, hurried to hardware store to
purchase a pair of scales, that she
might be able to keep tabs on the re-
markable growth of her first born.
When she got them home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried the scales back,
stating that they were not satisfac'
tory. Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was, she replied:
II think the scales are not right My
baby did not weigh as much as think
she ought to-
Did it ever occur to you," asked the
hard-hearted seller Of hardware, that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?"
She saw the point and kept the
scales-Brockton Enterprise.

these days to admit it, jumped clean
through the screen doors of the Rev
nolds store, and hit only the high spots
on the way, and all the other live wires
beat it to the fire engine house. The
idea was to show how quick they could
do 1t. 1t was good practical demonstra-
tion, but was never repeated. Some of
the older citizens were very indignant
l recollect that Mr.. Ridgway, who kept
store near The Transcript office, and
who had been disturbed in his after
dinner siesta, was emphatic in his con-
demnation of the outrageous conduct of
the tiremen. | waa told that the town
now owns the electric light plant and
noted that the streets were well lighted
The young editor set up his new do
nestle establishment out Broad street
way, but on modest side street in a
little cottage which is still there. Reeol-
lections happy and otherwise, of the
time spent there came to mind. and
among them the good sensible woman,
and kind neighbor who lived on the
corner, Mrs. w. A. Comegys. 1t was
she, with some other matrons who
helped the then young and inexperienced
newlyweds over some difficult places,
and it was at this corner house that l
called among the first. She missed the
whiskers, she said, but knew the smile,
and the call was, as usual delightful
one. We talked about grandchildren
and other things of equal moment. The
man of the house came around the cor
ner, and said, "Hello Moreau," lust
like he had seen US yesterday, and he
looked just like he did the first day we
saw him pass The Transcript office.
Somehow or other, time has dealt
very lightly with lot of people in
Middletown. There is Jack-I think it
is John C. Crouch, to be proper-he
looks just the same. Says there is no
use in getting old. Just keep clear
conscience and a good digestion and a
mans days will be long in Middletown
and elsewhere. But found the best
sample of the well preserved genus
homo in the corner drug store. Walked
in and there was "Brag." Just the
same. Same hair nicely curled, natural
color. Same suave manner, same
courteous but positive expression. He
wondered if we would "be here thirty
years from now" and agreed that if
we were, we would probably be IN the
way of some more efficient young men.
l would give half my fortune if could
have secured some of "Brag's" brand
of hair preservative in early life. If he
could put it on the market he would
soon be millionaire.
