This will be Mr. Pottle's second season in the Mag nolia and will no doubt be sucessful as in the past. "Pine Pest" will be used as an annex to the Holly Inn as last year, and will be in charge of Mrs. J. II. Atwood, which is a sullicient guarantee that everything possible will be done for the convenience and comfort of every guest. The old Aberdeen and West End rail road, now known as the Aberdeen and Asheboro railroad, makes connections at Asheboro for High Point and Greensboro. We are informed that Mr. Page intends to improve the service in the near future. "The winter cottages in and around the village are rapidly filling up, and in quiries are continually being received from northern people regarding the climate, advantages, accommodations, etc., of this section of North Carolina and especially of Pineliurst. There is no better place for northern people to spend the winter season than in Pine hurst, as is evidenced by the fact that many of the people who are now renting cottages spent the last winter season here.

Uncle Perry, ex-engineer at the pump ing station, has been in town during the past week. Mrs. Drew and daughter Nettie will occup3r suite No. 2 at "The Palmetto" the coming season. Mr. J. It.

B. Carrington and family of Hyde Park, Mass., will reside in Pine liurst this winter. We ha ve very pleas ant recollections of his son Chase and d lughters Henrietta and Jane, who were of so much assistance in the entertain ments in the village last season. y When people talk about there being a better state than North Carolina, every potato slightly winks its eye, every cab bage shakes its head, every beet gets red in the face, every onion feels stronger, every oat field is shocked, rye strokes its beard, corn sticks up its ears, and every foot of land kicks. The horses even denounce the statement with a neigh, aiid the printers grab their shoot ing sticks, says the Durham Sun. Before you Renew The Old Truss Write to Us. No more hard springs.
