The price of school Dook. x ias
been greatly reduced. The ie *
tailers profits has also be&n ct*
to almost nothing, therefore
school books will be sold only

to everybody alike. Don't ask

you don't want to be refused.
HOOD & GRANTHAM.
—As is generally known the
last legislature reduced the
price of school books from 25 to
40 per cent. A deposetary for
the sale of the books has been
established at the drug store of
Hood and Grantham, the only
place in town where the public
can be supplied.
—Services were held at the
Presbyterian church Sunday
morning and night by Rev. J.
N. H. Summerill, of Washing
ton, N. C. At the morning
service the ordinance of baptism
was administered to the little
child of Mr. and Mrs. J. K.
Grannis. Two excellent ser
mons were heard by a large
and appreciative audience.
—As an evidence of the value
of advertising we mention the
following item. About two
months ago Mr. Henry Norris
put a small "ad" in the paper
about the loss of some hogs.
The hogs were worth S2O and
he spent 75 cents to advertise
them. One day last week the
hogs were seen by a lady pass
ing along the, road. She
stopped and examined the mark
and as she had read the adver
tisement knew they were the
hogs. Mr. Norris was notified
and went for the hogs and
found them to be his. Does it
pay to advertise?
A NaPtow Escape.
Mr. Noiih Reaves, a young
man living in Sampson county,
was in town last Saturday
morning with three bales of
cotton on his wagon. He at-j
tempted to drive across the
railroad at the Broad street
crossing when the train on the
side track was coming back.!
The front wheels of the wagon
had just cleared the track, the
car struck the wagon, knocking
l it off and crushing the rear
wheels. The cotton was tum
bled down beside the track and
the young man fell to the
ground and managed to stop
the team. It was a narrow es
cape for the young lvan and
his team. Had they been twoi
feet back the result would have
been serious. For a long time
we have expected something
serious to happen at this cross
ing, and unless some steps are
taken to give the people protec
tion it is liable to happen at
any time. We contend that
the town authorities should ask
the Railroad Company to place
leavers at this crossing and
when freights are shifting and
passenger trains coming in have
the- leavers let down across the
crossing. This would prevent
any one with a team, or any
one else rushing across the
track in front of moving trains.
Unless some remedy is applied
we may expect something bad
and serious any day.
—About forty people left on
the Norfolk,-Baltimore and
Washington excursion yester
day morning.
—Do we not need better pro
tection at the railroad crossing
on Broad street? If the Rail
road Company will place leavers
at the crossing if will be much
safer for the people.
—A series of meetings will
commence at the Free Will
Baptist church Saturday before
the third Sunday in August.
The pastor will be assisted in
the meeting by Rev. J. F. Hill,
of Goldsboro.
—No services were held at
the Baptist church Sunday.
Rev. S. J. Porter went to his
home at Fayetteville Friday
night and expected to return
Saturday but was taken sick
after reaching home and was
unable to return.
—Mr. Willie Ennis. of Grove
township, sold the first new
sweet potatoes on our market
last Saturday that we have
seen this year. They are fine
ones and speak well for Mr.
Ennis as a hustling and suc
cessful farmer.
—The remains of the little
two-year-old child of Mr. and
Mrs. N. B. Norris, of Goldsboro
were brought to Dunn Saturday
evening and carried out to
Pleasant Grove for interment.
Mr. and Mrs. Norris lived in
Sampson county.
—Hatch Bros, will run their
last excursion of the season
from Dunn to Wilmington and
Ocean View Beach on August
26th. Everybody get ready and
g°-
.—William Parker, the col
ored boy who was hurt in the
explosion of the soda fountain
tank last week, is getting on
with his injuries as wel
as could be expected. Hiel
physicians think they will be
to save his leg.
-At 6 o'clock Saturday

coi'k, diet' at Wilson of typhoid

the most complete, mode.**® ai ? i
up-to-date machine shops s
found in the South. You c
get any kind of iron work done
right at home-work that can- j
not be done in some of the ,
larger cities of the State. The (
very lates improved machinery
is used in the plant and thirty
men are employed daily to car- ]
ry on the immense business al- j
ready established by the com- ]
pany. This is an enterprise to
be greatly appreciated by the
people of this section, for it ]
means no little to them in a 1
financial way. You can save
from sls to $75 on every job
that you might have to send
away from home. It is an en
terprise to be appreciated by
our town for it turns lose at
least $1,500 per month to be
spent in our midst. The firm
is in a most prosperous condi
tion and a great future awaits
it. Its future success can only
be judged by its past record.;
Long may it prosper.

saying one night last week

He almost exhausted himself

tion he found it to be a black
belt. He lost fully ten pounds
of flesh in the battle.
