TH E COUNTY UNION WEDNESDAY, December 14, 1808. DUNN, N. C. Bg?All lof-ul advertisements run iu this column will In charged strictly 10 cents per line. Otlur local advertisements 5 cents per line fur each Insertion. LOCAL DOTS, Cotton is selling to-day at --Eleven more days till Christmas. Ye editor sees no hope of a turkey for Xmas. -Miss' "Gertrude Harper is teaching the public school at the school-house near the cem etery. . : 1 - Services at the Baptist church last Sunday morning and night by the pastor, Rev. L. II . Carroll. The boys say that par tridges are quite plentiful this season. Some of them go out hunting and bag quite a num ber CATTLE WANTED We want to buy 1000 young steers three to six years old. Bring them to Lane & Galbrailh's Stables, Dunn, N.'C. - Remember the "Oxford Affair" at Town Hall Friday night before Christmas by the "Cuban Gaiety Girls," eight in number. The proceeds go to the Dunn Brass Band J . The we.-Uher has been pret ty cold for the past week. It has been fair most of the time here, - but in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, there fell a heavy sleet and snow last Friday. ' -We regret to announce that our friend and townsman Mr. D. M. Williford was forced to assign. Mr. J. H. Matthews is the assignee. We know not the amount of his labilities. There has been a large acre ige planted in wheat, we learn, through this section of the country. Our farmers are determined to make more of their breadstuff's at home. The indications are that the trade in horses and mules will be light this season to what it has formerly been. .-The price of cotton is too low to buy anything that is not absolutely necessary. Remember that we want all that are due us on Subscibtion to pay us what they can before 'the first of January. We are greatly in need of money and we trust you will help us. Make our christmas happy by paying up. As is our custom The Un ion will take a week off after our next issue. If you wish to advertise anything Tou have to sell be sure "to get it to us by Tuesday morning of next week. Only one more issue in 1898, remember. This has been a hard year on editors and newspaper men. Few of them can hang up stock ings at Christmas for theirs have holes in the toes and will not hold. In fact times are so hard that we well-well we don't wear 'em. The receipts of cotton here this season have not been so large as last year, on account of the poor crop and decrease in acreage. The price advances a little occasionally and we find that some think it will reach six cents before Christmas. Are you going to plant to bacco next year? Our farmers who grew tobacco this year made more money than those who planted only cotton for a money crop. The lands con tiguous to Dunn will grow fine tobacco. This fact has been practically demonstrated. Take care of your cattle through the winter. The far mer who raises cattle can al wavs have a market for them and they bring good prices. Good stables for cattle in winter is worth as much as good feed in other words it takes much less feed for cattle when kept in good stables. We have often heard of the cud of an ox, but always doubt ed that that animal had an or gan of that kind A gentleman in bill's flreek township killed an ox sometimo ago ana iouna ; the cud in his throat. He brought it to town the other day and gave it to Mr. G. K. Grantham who has it on exhi bition at his drugstore. It is a peculiar looking object and few persons have ever seen one. i 0 . . 3 People and Their Movement. Sheriff Salmon, of Lillingt'on, spent Monday night in town. Mr. J. W.

These good people say they can't do without The Un ion for in their far-away home in the South it gives them the news from their old home once-a-week and its coming is looked for eagerly. As we go to press a dry kiln at Mr. Thos.M. Hall's mill near town is on fire and burning.

"The Cuban Gaiety Girls," eight in number, will present the "Oxford Affair." Two hours of amusement and past-time for all who attend. No such opportunity has ever been presented to the people of Dunn and community before, and doubtless alike opportunity will never occur again. The company is playing for the benefit of the Dunn Brass Band. The band will furnish music for the occasion. A pro gramme will be given in our next issue. A large stage has been erect ed on the first floor at the Town Hall in order that room may be made to accommodate the vast multitude that will greet the beautiful "Cuban Gaiety Girls on this festive occasion. Child Burned to Death. A child about three years of age of Louisa Davis, colored, who lived near the furniture factory, was burned to death yesterday.

Stewart and-F. P. Jones of Dunn were here last week con ferring with local" Democrat leaders in a desperate effort to hatch some kind of a plea by which they expect the next Leg islature to turn over to Jones Mr. White's seat in the Senate. They are charging that White was elected by intimidation and fraud practiced all through this county. This is the cheekiest, the most brazen and bare faced piece of effrontery that any set of political bushwhackers could be capable of. After howling nigger and burying niggers un il they succeeded in making a pretty general sweep of the elec tion, they have gotten drunk with victory and do not scruple to use any means to gobble up everything left in sight. They are a hungry and gluttonous set, and seem to realize the fact that they may never meet at such a feast again." The above paragraph is taken from the last issue of the Clin ton Caucasian over which Mr. H. W. Butler, brother of Sena tor Butler, presides as local edi tor. Editor Butler was an ad vocate of a "fair ballot and a fair count," was a fusionist and did all that he could for the fus ion cause. It is known, and Mr Jones will present the proof to the legislature that there were flagrant irregularities practiced by the fusionist elec tion officers in Sampson county. After howling themselves' hoarse for a "fair ballot and a fair count," the fusionists in Samp son are among the first to pre vent a fair ballot. Keep cool Mr Butler , Mr. Jones would not contest if he did not have the proof. He will satisfy any honest fusionist that his cause is a good one and that he is en- titlfid to the seat in the benate. Sampson is not alone in irregu larities. There are others. TO CUKE A COLD IX OXE 1A I'rtkft T.axitive Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund money if it fails to cure. 25c. The genuine has L. B.
