Walnut Cove, June 20.—The
health of our community is very
good. Business is quiet, though
lots of people were in town during
last week. Everybody has put 011
a look of contentment, especially

I Dr. Worth Improving Nicely—A Fer
t tiliier Plant Likely To Be Estab

» Pi lot Mountain, June 111. We
C are having raiti in abundance after
so long a dry spell. The wheat
• crop is reported fairly good in
this section while the harvest is in
, full blast now. The farmers re
. port the corn and tobacco crops
f looking well, while the fruit crop
. | seems to l>e plentiful.
' The farmers are hauling and un
r loiuling tobacco daily at the Mar
• ion Bros. Tobacco factory, which
■ will start up in full force soon.
' The pickers will go to work Mou
i day and the rollers will go to work
next Monday. Mr. Daniel Mar
■ ion. of this place, will have charge
■ of the plant. Mr. Marion is a
' j good tobacconist.
IJ We are reliably informed that
' we are soon to have a large over
fall factory here which will be of
great interest to both town and
| community at large and the plant
j will l>e operated by a Northern
: company. The plant is almost as
- I'aured.
! The prospects are very bright
1 for having one of the largest fer
j tilizer factories in the State, which
will also he operated by Northern
capitalists and we believe it to be !
: one of the finest locations in the;
world, as this is the right place for
such a plant as there could be I s j
or 20 thousand dollars worth sold ;
here which would never go on a'
car.
Dr. I). W. Worth, who had his |
leg amputated some time ago, is
[getting along nicely and believe
he will soon be out again. The ;
old Dr. is a jolly old fellow and j
we long to see him out again.
Drs. Smith, Flippin and Woltz, I

nice and up-to-date hospital over j

believe to be of great interest, as 1
there area great many going to!

so they can pay the warehouse
charges.
