The Federal court is in session at Raleigh this week. CniLa-aa-""r of witnesses in illicit distilling cases went up from lie re Monthly. The commencement ercises will take place at I c i ion lull Academy, Sampson coun ty, to-morrow (Thursday). Several of our people will at tend. A Mrs. Hill, of Sampson county, was tak :i to the asylum at Raleigh from this place last Kriday. She lias lost her reason and was taken there for treat ment. Mr. Walter Holmes, of Uenson, has bought the stock of groceries of Mr. L. H. Ken nedy, and will move here and continue the business under the firm name of W. W. 1 tolmes & Co. The wheat crop will soon be ripe and ready for harvest. The advance in flour has made rnanv farmers wish they had planted some wheat last The wheat crop through section bids fair to be a fall, this good The locomotive, which Mr. Thomas M. Hall will use on his logging road, has arrived. It is a small engine and will draw three loaded cars on his road. It is a nice piece of machinery and very strong for its size. Mr. I J all has already laid a few hundred yards of the track of his road . 1 A heavy rain fell in this sec tionSaturday night accompanied by a good deal of lightning and thunder, and we learn, washed land that is rolling quite badly and injuring the crops growing thereon, Mr. J. (i. Layton, of Sampson, says the rain was verr. heavy at his place. The lightning struck his wire fence and tore np a gate, and killed one of his cows, The first regiment of North Carolina volunteers left Camp Crimes Sunday morning for Tampa, Florida, Col. J. F. Armneld commanding. They went in three1 trains by the Southern road and went into camp thirty-five miles from Tampa. This regiment will probably be in the Corps com manded by Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Tee in the invasion of Cuba. The Judicial convention of this district (fourth) meets in Raleigh this evening. This convention will nominate a candidate for Judge and Solici tor. Hon. E. W. Pou will probably be re-nominated with out opposition. The delegation from Harnett will be sold for him. The State convention also meets in Raleigh to-morrow. Several of our Democrats will attend. On Monday we received a basket of delicious strawberries from "Fair view Farm," pre sented by the children of Mrs. L. F. Williams, and to them we return thanks for such a pleasant treat. These little folks bring berries to town near ly every day, fine large ones too. Mrs. Williams has quite a nice truck farm' this year and we hope she will reap a good crop and get good returns for it. Rev. D B. Parker, pastor of the Dunn circuit, commenced a series of meetings at the Methodist church here Sunday. Rev. W. H. Puckett, of Haw River, arrived Monday after noon and is assisting in the meeting. Mr. Puckett is one among the best and most ef fective preachers in the North Carolina Conference. Services are held in the morning at 11 o'clock and in the evening at 8 o'clock. Everybody is cordial ly invited to attend. Owing to the rush of work Warner, the photographer will remain in Dunn a fe v more days. Will make you six photographs for fifty cents. So far this spring there has been quite an unusual number of thunder storms. We learn that the lightning burned out the telephone at Benson Monday night and so injured the 'phone as to necessitate the putting in a new one. No other damage was done. The Dunn Hardware and Furniture Company have a change in their '"ad" this week. They sell the celebrated O. K. Cook stove, which is so highly recommended by every bod". They are headquarters for fur niture and hardware. Call and see them. It is the remark of nearly all visitors to our town that we have an unusual supply of fleas. So long as the hogs are allowed to run at large in town in such large numbers we will have this innumerable quantity of fleas to wTorry the people When they should be at rest. How long shall we have them? Since the new order of charging storage on freight has gone into effect the warehouse has been nearly cleaned out of goods. The new order makes the work easier for the station agents and we believe it will work well with the mercluints. No business Will succeed well without' doing business ' on strict principles. --Mr. J. W. Lane received a fine blooded dark bay stallion from Tennessee last week which his partner, Mr. Galbraith pur chased for him. He is a fine horse and is of the Denmark and Hambletonian strains of blood which produce some of the fast est and best horses. He is of fine size and a perfectly shaped horse and can be seen at Lane & Gal braith 's stables. The days are very long now and there is little business done by the merchants after sunset and we think it would be a good idea for all the merchants to get together and agree to close their stores at sunset each evening except Saturdays. This will give their clerks and sales men some time for recreation. We notice that some have al ready commenced closing at sunset. Few sell enough goods after sunset to pay for the oil they burn. Yesterday while Mr. J. L. Benton was taking a barrel of molasses out of a wagon into his store the head of the barrel burst out and the molasses all ran out on the floor of his store. The barrel contained about fifty gallons of a good quality of molasses and it wras all a total loss, amounting to between fifteen and twenty dollars. He had a '"sweet time" cleaning his store floor. The new administration of the towTn government has start ed out to stop the "blind tiger" business in the town, and the offenders of the law need not expect any quarter. All will be prosecuted if the proof , can be obtained. All people should try to respect and obey the laws of the community in which they live. This is an injunction given us in the Book of books. If the laws be bad they can be repealed easier by not offending them. One da' last week Isaac Williamson, colored, who lives in the Bunnlevel section, left his horse tied to a cart wheel near a well in the field. The horse became frightened at something and pulled backward and went into the well and fell on some old fence rails that were placed in the well. Isaac went off to get help to get the horse out but he died before he got back. Mr. F. F. Young was furnishing Isaac supplies to make a crop and now has to furnish him another horse or lose what he has already furn ished him. Isaac was over Monday and carried back anoth er horse. CAR tOAl ( RATES. I have receive this week a cai load of crates for Beans, Berries, Irish potatoes and Cantelopes I solicit the trade of all truck ers and promise you a neat and durable Crate, the appearance of which will add much to the price of your produce in north ern markets. . I will be glad to give you Free, shipping tags with the address of good reliable commis sion merchants whom you will be safe in shipping to. Very truly yours W. B. AUSTIN. F. I. L I. Volunteers. The Favetteville Independent Light Infantry, the oldest mil - itary organization in has volunteered for and passed here this the State, the war morning on the north bound mail for Raleigh. Major B. R. Huske is in command and had 84 mustered men ready to take the oath. They will form a part of the second regiment of North Carolina volunteers. One of the company was up here Sat urday after recruits and several young men gave their names but when the time came to go they all backed down. The Union hopes that they may all keep well and be saved from Spanish bullets and all return home after the war is over. A Small Hoy Taken to the Asylum. Sheriff Pope took a little negro boy, thirteen years of age, named William Ryals to the colored asylum at Goldsboro Monday. The boy's mother lives near Dickinson in this county. He has lost his mind and speech caused from a wound on the head made about three years ago by the explos ion of powder in a beer bottle which he was playing with. He had the bottle of powder and poured some of the powder on a hot stove which caused the explosion. He is badly scared on the face and hands and it is said that a piece of the bottle which exploded struck the fore head, fractured the skull and some of his brains ran out. He has had little sense since and about three months ago he lost his speech. He goes to the asylum for treatment but there is little hope of doing him any good. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadel phia, was the subject, is nar rated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful con dition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and siaes, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. lhree physicians had given me up. fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters ; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know7 they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim. No one should, fail to try thei . Only 50 cts per bot tle at N, B. Hood's drug store. The Blind Tiger Caught Again. Archie De Kekzer, an old in r negro man, was oetore Mayor Phillips Saturday afternoon upon the charge of retailing liquor without license, and was required to give bond for his appearance at the next term of Harnett Superior court. Mr. J. J. Wilson made the bond. Tim Smith and Ed Carroll were also charged with the same offence, but were dismissed as there was no evidence against them. Old man Archie was convicted of this same offence in the Federal court at Raleigh last December and served a sentence in jail. As soon as he was out he began the business again and has kept it up. His plea was that he did not sell anv but would 2-o to the still and bring it to parties who paid him to go after it for them. The evidence was that he had taken money and let different parties have a pint at a time. He is probably to be more pittied than blamed, for he has drank so long and so much that he can hardly do without it and in his condition he is not able to work to get money to buy it. He is a slave to strong drink, and is nearly dead from it. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plain field, 111., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which set tled on her lungs : she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist sug gested Dr. King's New Discov ery for consumption ; she bought a bottle and to her de light found herself benefitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bot tles, found herself sound and well ; now does her own house work, and is as well as she ev er was.
