Mr. McLean has accepted the invitation and it gives us great pleasure to say that a great treat awaits those whose good fortune it may be to join in the occasion. — v ou will find in this issue the act allowing the town to issue thirty-five tliousond dol lars in bonds for town improve ments. We understand that there is some opposition to the issuance of bonds for the elec tric lights. We are sure the town commissioners are not going to place upot) the people something they do not want, and as we understand it, it is not the intention of the town authorities to put in the electric lights for some time to come, therefore it will not be necessary to issue more than fifteen thou sand dollars in bonds to make the necessary improvements at this time. Debt is a dangerous thing, it is dangerous for the individual and likewise to the county, community and town. The matter should be well con sidered, but we think every citi zen of the town will acknowl edge that the town can carry fifteen thousand dollars in bonds which amount we believe will meet the demands of the hour. We need some improvements and it is sure to cost money, but it will be money well spent. Let the people turn out at the primary and express their de isites. * Frame a platform for [the commissioners to stand up on and they will be honor bound to stand upon it. "/f Magnificent Display. " The above words are not only our opinion bat were the gener al expression of all who attend ed the openings at the millinery !stores in our city this week. There has never before been seen in our town a combination of more beauty and artfully arranged display than was to be found at the Dunn Cash Racket millinery department and at the millinery store of Miss Florence Holder on Monday night. All the latest designs were shown and everybody expressed them selves as being well pleased with the styles this season. From four o'clock until ten in the evening these departments were thronged with visitors. It was a success from every stand point. Tuesday evening the display land opening took place at Mrs. J. 11. Popes, audit was also a crowning success, and displayed skill and taste and so pronounc ed by all who called. The dis play at Mrs. Popes was some what interfered by the bad weather, but a good mftny visi tors were received between showers. In all respects the entire dis play at all these departments were a credit to the town and we feel safe in assuring those in search of millinery goods that they can find what they want in Dunn. $3OOO worth of clothing just received at G. K. Massengidls. Bank Organized. In accordance with a call for organization, the following gentlemen met in the Banking rooms of The Bank of Dunn last Friday, the 29th, and or ganized "The Bank of Dunn." Mr. J. D. Barnes was called to the chair. On motion Mr. L. J. Best was elected President, Dr. C. H. Soxton Vice Presi dent and Mr. J W. Purdie cashier. The following direc tors were also elected: Messrs. J, L.

The capital stock of the Bank is $25,000 and it was establish ed a year ago it has continually increased in business. It is now doing a large business with, a prosperous outlook for the fu ture, , B. (J A. PUTS. [ These, items were written for last week but were sent in too late.—Ed.] We regret to note that Miss Charlotte Byrd, who has been here so long, has left us. She returned to'her home at Bnnn's Level Sunday. Misi Flora, the beautiful and must excellent young daughter of W. J. Long, Esq., spent Sat urday night and Sunday here with the Misses Taylor. The Philologian and Eutro phian Societies here will give a public debate the first Saturday night in April. Everybody and all his family are most cordial ly invited to attend. IT 'V. G. W. Green, a returned Missionary from China, 1 cturcd •here Tuetday night of last week to a large crowd. Snooks was not here Sunday and therefore does not know all that happened here since last issue. Misses Bertha and Bettie Matthews, of Durham, are vis iting relatives and friends near here. Rev. J. A. Campbell filled his appointment here Saturday. After preaching, several united themselves with the church, six :of whom were baptized Sunday. Miss Blanche Morgan, after spending several weeks here with relatives and friends, re turned to her home at Method Tuesday. Some of the boys have sad hearts now. Miss Delia Johnson, of Bunn's Level, is the guest of Mrs. Dr. McNeill. On last Wednesday Mr. A. D. Coats, of Troyville, was united in marriage to Miss Bettie Stephenson of Johnston couuty. Mr. J. D. Barnes had a run away Sunday. No one hurt but buggy torn up right badly. Rev. Livingstone Johnson lectured here Saturday night to a large congregation using as O © O ~ his subject: Know something of everything and know every thing about something. He gave a fine lecture and Sunday and Sunday night he preached two excellent sermons. Several weeks ago we had a case here about some boys fail ing to work the public road. They were summoned to trial and fined $2.00 and cost from which decision they appealed to the Superior Court and the case was never brought up in court, but was, we learned, settled just as the counsel for the defendants wanted it settled. We think some one failed to do their duty. We did not em ploy counsel as we thought it was the Solicitors business to prosecute the case. It was a matter of a great deal of impor tance to the board of supervisors of this township. All hands on one section of road now say they will not work the road and they are not to blame because others, who are just as able bodied men as they are, have been ex cused and if one able bodied man is excused, all should be. We do not try to make board ing students here work the road but do think that when people buy land, build houses and settle here, and board at their own table that they should work the road here. The Hon. Judge Starbuck made a very rigid charge to the grand jury about the duty of Supervisors and w r e really expected we would be indicted for having such bad roads. We would like to know how we are to have good roads unless we can have some way to force some folks whose lily white hands it will not do to soil with honest toil, especially on public roads. We need advice but do not know from what source to seek it. March 3rd. "Uncle Sam" failed to seud his boy here last Tuesday. So we failed to get our dots to Dunn in time for last issue. Quite a number of our people attended the Sunday school convention at Neill's Creek Sunday. Mr. S. E. Williams and wife after spending a few days here, returned to their home in Ben son Sunday. Miss Flossie Byrd, who has been at the Normal (Jollege at Greensboro for quite a while, is spending a few days with her parents here. Mr. Sam Thompson, who has been in school here for sev eral i-Honths, left for his home in Durham county Tuesday. Prof. L. C. Ogburn and Misses Mayme Byrd, Mattie Young and Annie Belle Hum phrey spent Sunday at Prof. Ogburn's father's in Wake, Mr. T. H. S. Pope, a con tractor of Morrisville, has moved his family here. He will aid in the erection of the Academy, j # THIS " SPRCE $ . t." . . IS Reserved for BREWER & CO. 1 \JC % Watch it next week. They have *%£ '* • ' goods and bargains for the JEOPLE. Mr. J. D. Upchurcli has opened up a store here. We hear that there will be another soon. We have only eight now. Monday night the Rev. Mr. Stephens, of Pennsylvania, lectured here to the students aud a few friends who happen ed to hear of it. We didn't know he was coming till late Monday evening and so he didn't have a very large crowd. The writer was picked up at the Academy Monday night and dropped down in room No. 10 at the Stewart Hotel aud there in company with Misses Stella. Maynord, Cornie Stew art, Aline Keeter, Rena Bell and Nannie Cobb, live of the joiliest, prettiest, sweetrst and most popular young ladies here, we enjoyed another supper such as we have not bad since the night of the oyster supper. These young ladies had just received a box of good things from their mothers in Roanoke Rapids and certainly nothing pleases them more than to get something to eat from home cooked by mother. We know not how to express our appreci ation of their kindness. SNOOKS. REMEMBER THE PLACE. 0 0 HOOD & GRANTHAM CARRY A MAMMOTH SEED TIME IS COMING.

W. Gregory's store. Ja-2-3m-pd. An Enterprise Worthy of Suc cess. Mr. B. F. Deardroff is now in Dunn for the purpose of es tablishing a Tannery here. He has established one at Carthage which is proving a financial success. It requires only a small amount of cash to start on and it opens up a ready market to the farmers for all their hides. Mr. Deardroff uses the latest methods in tanning which preserves the leather and causes it to retain its original strength. The process used en ables the tannery to turn out nice furs, rugs &c., equal to any to be found. The leather manufactured is the finest kind, such as French Calf, Viei Kid, Chrome Kid, Dongola Kid, also in any shade of tan or color. It is an enterprise that our town and community should have, and we trust some of our enterprising business men will take hold of it. Leather al ways finds a ready sale and we believe it will prove a finan cial success. Mr. Deardroff has several years experience in the business' and should our ,people become interested he will remain in the city long enough to put the enterprise in operation, and train a foreman wno can carry the enterprise on successfully.
