Other local advertlsenieuts 5. cents per line for each insertion. LOCAL DOTS, Yesterday was a cool day for July. Fire felt good, and many had one. The watermelons that have been placed on the market here so far are small. The seasons .have not suited them this year. A train killed a cow for Postmaster Wilson and one for Mr. McD. Holliday Friday morning, just in the southern edge of town. Pure drinking water is one of the greatest preventives against fever. See that your wells are kept clean and the water pure, -t j We learn from all section of the county that the prospects for carrying the county Demo cratic in November is growing brighter as the days go by. The rains of last week cre ated a considerable freshet in the rivers. Black river was as full as it has been insomeyears. The bridge across it between here and Turlington came near being floated off.. The Cape Fear was high for a day or two. . A train of fifteen passen- ger coacncs passed here last; Thursday evening loaded with recruits for the second regiment of New Jersey volunteers now in camp at Jacksonville, Fla. These recruits. we e drilled and equipped. Many of our people re member Gus Fuller, of Fayette ville, who lived here a few years ago. He left here and joined the army. He is now at Santiago as Sargeant of Bat tery E . Sixth Artilery , having landed there last Saturday. Read the advertisement of Union Hill Academy in this issue. The trustees have em ployed Prof. J. J. Rosser, a graduate of Trinity College, who comes to them with strong endorsements as a gentleman of 'character and a teacher of ability. For several weeks we have overlooked and failed to make mention that our friend Mr, Alfred Taylor has accepted a po sition withMr. N. B. Hood in the drugstore He is a very bright young man ana will doubtless do well in his chosen profession. The Populist leaders in this count v are somewhat at sea. They do not know exactly w h i c h way to go or what to do. The voters of their party are inclined to be inde pendent and they fear that they can't be induced to vote! for and with the Republicans as they did. two years ago. The members of the ex ecutive committee of the Demo cratic organization in the coun ty are! all earnestly requested to attend tlie meeting at Lilling ton next Monday. An early convention is thought by our leading Democrats to be the best this year. Let us get' our candidates in the field early and get to work to redeem the State. There are quite a number of cases of fever through the country. We are informed that X)rie family in Sampson county, iibout fifteen miles from here, has been visited terribly by the ffvfr The father, mother, and two children have died and last weeK mere were iour ui me i ,i : e ii. children left sick with fever and in a critical condition. Delinquent Tax Payers! ! The town aldermen have in structed me to collect all delin ciuent taxes due for 1897, at 'once. You are hereby request ted to see me and settle or your property will be advertised and sold for same, with all costs, without further notice. Respectfully, M. Li. Wade, Marshal The town authorities should have the large well on Luck now Square cleaned out and buckets or numns nut in so that the water could be used As it is now it is almost a nuis ance and fit for nothing only to breed musquitoes. If water were drawn from it everv dav. as would be if it were cleaned ou and appliances for drawing water put in, the musquitoes would not breed in it. It also n , crop is expected. Corn is re purteu iv ue gooa and growing rapidiy. mere is plenty time yet to make a good cotton crop. r -w- - . . r Acint auLuixiur our iarmers re ported, even up to the middle of September, that the crop of cotton was poor, yefc few of them ever gathered a larger crop. The recent ruling on the internal revenue act as regards civil service, has started up quite a number of petitions for store-keepers and guagers. A job that pays two dollars a day is much sought after. There are about 150 store-keepers and guagers in the State that will walk the plank and make room for that number from the pie brigade. . The town ordinances spok en of in our last issue in regard to riding bicycles on the side walks of the town, and throw " t i "i i ing giass, ooards witn nails in them and other rubbish on the streets, sidewalks or gutters did not go into effect at once as stated, but will go into effect on July 20th. So all can take notice of the date. Yesterday as the local freight was nearing the depot here the train, separated. The engine and cars to it went through town at a lively speed in order to leave the detached part a good way behind. The brakes were applied vigorously to the cars that were detached and stopped as they pulled by the depot. , No damage was done. We are informed by an anonymous correspondent from Leaflet, that the Fourth was cel ebrated in that section by fight ing fire in the . woods, which caught from a tree that was struck by lightning the week before. The fire burned over a large area of woodland. All persons writing communica tions to us should sign their full name, otherwise the com munication goes to the waste basket. The war spirit is growing with the boys now. Troy Wade, son of I. W. Wade, of this place left Saturday for Raleigh to en list and Pearl Norris, son of Mr. Tim Norris, left Monday to join him. There are several others who are too young that are anx ious to get off but cannot get the consent of -their parents. The young chaps are full of patriotism just now. They would like to get a shot at the Spaniards. When there is any parade of arms or beating of drums, you can count on young America, they'll be there, and when the nation calls for , sol diers to protect the honor of their country they'll be there also. . We learn that there are a host of applicants for the place of cotton weigher. The appli cants are scattered all over the county, and from what we hear, bur-fifths of the Populists and . A.I T nine-tentns oi tne wnite xte publicans in the county are ap plicants for the place. We don't know how many Demo crats there are that are candi dates for the place, but as, the prospects for a Democrat is not flattering, there is probably only a few. Gentlemen, you are just a little too previous in your candidacy. Mr. Holland has not resigned yet and there are several weeks before any cotton will be on the market. Only one man can get the place and he should be a good one. If the new man will give satis faction as well as Mr. Holland the people will not kick. The Sure La Grippe Cure.

Early Monday hands who are morning buildin the the M. and lumber road for Mr. Thos Hall, started out to work took a hand-car at - the mill to go out to where they were lay ing track. When they got near the end of the track they .were going pretty fast and saw they could not stop the car before it would run off the rails and they commenced to jump off. In trying to get off Mr. J. W. Bass got his right foot caught under the wheel of the car which pass ed over it crushing it badly. He was brought to his home in town and Doctors Moore and Denning were called. They found the fourth toe was so bad ly crushed that amputation was necessary and took it off. The wound was dressed and the patient was left resting quietly.
