Would A Furniture Factory Pay? We think it would. Several years ago a firm started a small furniture factory in this State; today they have several branch establishments and their goods are known and sold all over this and other States. Why can't we do as well? We believe it would pay to have a furniture and mattress factory at this place. Weldon is a good distributing point and with our advantages it is sur prising to the outside world that we con ttoue to move in the same old grooves.

The cotton crop is well advanced and is looking fine. New cotton maybe expected in market iuite early this fall and the prospect is good for a large crop. A New Train. A new train will be inaugurated July 2d to bo knowns as the Atlantio Coast Line express, to run from New York through Washington to the South, aud the fast mail will be discou thued to points south of this place. This new service offers material reduction in time from Washington, New York, and Oxford Female Seminary. We invite attention to the advertisement of this old and famous school in another column. It easily ranks among tho most progressive schools of the State. Its in struction is of the most thorough kind, aud its standard for graduation high, It provides two courses for students one ncluding Latin and French, leading to the degree of B. A.; the other, omitting Latin, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Literature. There are also graduate courses in Music arid Art. Tho teachers are selected with the greatest care each being selected for the special work which she can best do. The following noted schools are repre sented in the Faculty: Wake Forest College, N. Sauveur School of Languages of the North, the Western Seminary of Ohio, one of the Brooklyn Schools of Physical Culture all these in Literary Department. In charge of the Music Department is a pupil of tho Royal Con servatory of Berlin, Germany, while tho Vocal Teacher received her training in a celebrated Philadelphia Conservatory. The Art Department will be in charge of an accomplished North Carolina Artist who is just completing a very extended course in the great Cooper Union Art School, of N. Y., aud under the best masters of the city. The location of the Seminary is all that could be desired not surpassed for healthf'ulness, and the refinement and its social life. Its grounds are among the most beautiful in the State. New Desks, new Maps, new Art Out fit and new Anatomical Charts with new furniture and new carpets in the sleeping rooms havo been added during the past year. - The catalogues as handsome as any we have seen are ready for distribution.
