Ot Interest to Teachers and School
Committeemen.
For the convenienceof teachers
desiring schools and school com
mitteemen desiring teachers we
have decided to devote a column
of The Herald, or more if neces
sary, for this purpose. .
Any teacher desiring to teach
an the public schools of Johnston
county may advertise for a posi
tion without any cost. The ad
vertisement must be short and
legibly written and the advertiser
must be a regular subscriber to
The Herald.
School committeemen may also
advertise for teachers, free of
charge, under the same condi
tions.
No advertisement will be in
serted free unless the advertiser
is a subscriber to The Hekad, or
is a member of a family that
takes The Herald. Others will
be charged 25 cents for each
week.
TOWN AND COUNTY.
?Holt Hardware and buggy Co.
?Read Mr. J. H. Kirkman's
poem on this page.
?We hear it rumored that
Smithfield is to have another
bank.
?There will be a Baptist pic
nic at Czzle's brickyard, near
Wilson's Mills, to-morrow, (Sat
urday).
?Several new buildings are
going up in Smithfield which
shows that the town is growing
steadily.
?Mr. W. M. Sanders has re
painted and penciled his store
front which adds much to its ap
pearance.
?The excursion season is now
on us and everybody will have
an opportunity to visit the sea
shore at a small expense.
?Mr. and Mrs. Thomas It.
Crocker have moved into the
Dickens residence, recently vaca
ted by Mr. II. Cohen's family.
?If dogs that attend church ,
are religious then Smithfield has '
3uite a number of very religious 1
ogs as they are on hand at every
* service.
?All persons who have been'
tiuilding houses 011 the river .
banks and in river low lands have
learned a letson from the recent
freshets.
?Dr. 11. P. Underbill, of near ]
Selnia, who graduated recently,
has located at Kenly to practice
medicine. See his card in another j
column.
?Look out for the opening chap- '
ters of "The Gunmaker of Mos- 1
cow," a very interesting story '
which will begin in this paper I
next week. 11
?Smithfleld'ssecond ninecross- j
?sl bats with Goldsboro's second J
nine Wednesday on the latter's 11
grounds. Tlie score was 11 to 5) ,
in favor of Goldsboro.
?Mr. E. W. Pou has one of the
handsomest, turn-uuts seen on
our streets in a long time?a j
trap recently purchased from The; ?
Holt Hardware and Iluggy Co. (
?The telephone service of this 1
place could be greatly improved, j 1
\Ve have hoard several com- i
plaints recently. A good tele- ?
phone service in a town is a good 1
thing to have, but a poor service r
is aggravating to say the least, s
We trust the management of the ^
exchange will see that we have a
better service in the future, t- 1
?Three new boarders arrived
at the county hotel Saturday.
They had been fighting and pre
ferred living at tic county's ex
pense rather than give tlie re
quired bond.
?The ice cream supper {riven
by the Ladies Aid Society of the
baptist church at the Farmers'
Warehouse last Friday night
was a success, quite a ilea', sain
being realized.
?Head "A Fox Chase" found
elsewhere in this issue. It is an
interesting account of how old
Tricker run his last race told b.v
Mr. D. 11. Whitley, a student of
Turlington Institute.
?We cull the attention of our
readers to the large advertise
ment of Kenly Academy found
elsewhere in this paper. This is
a good school and lias a large
aud growing patronage.
?The Children's Day exercises
at the Methodist church last
Sunday morning were verv inter
esting. Several of the children of
the Sunday School participated,
rendering their parts well.
?Several persons who spend
much of their time in Smithtield
near the corner of Third and
Johnson Streets are favoring the
passing of a town ordinance
against "Continuous Whistling "
?Considering the thousands of
dollars lost by the wear and tear
of vehicles, in behalf of the horses
and mules who cannot speak for
themselves, and on account of
the immense travel done now,
The Hekai.d must continue to
plead for better roads.
'PI.,. a. a-1 1. C
? i in- present uuiiuuk ior uur
tobacco market for this sea
son is very bright. There will be
three houses open for the sale of
the golden leaf and a stronger
corps of buyers than ever before
will be here to insure our farmers
the best prices possible.
?Smithfield is t.o have a first
class bakery in operation within
the next few days. Mr. W. G.
Smith is the proprietor. He will
give our people good bread at
reasonable prices which will be a
great convenience. He will also
carry fancy groceries and con
fectioneries.
?We understand that another
new tobacco prize house is to be
built here for the use of Messrs.
Skinner & Ragsdale. The to
bacco interest here has grown so
that the present prize houses are
insufficient to handle the crop
this season and our people are
going to remedy this by building
another large prizerv.
?Rev. R. W. Ilines was called
to Washington, N. C., Tuesday
to the bedside of his baby who
was critically ill, but the sufferer
died before he reached there. We
suppose the interment was at
Washington. Rev. Mr. Hinep
and family returned home yester
day. They have the sympathy
of the community in the loss of
their little one.
?The directors of the Bank of
Smithfield held a meeting Wed
nesday afternoon and accepted
the proposition of the Smithfield
Improvement Company to move
the bank into the new hotel build
ing. The room in the hotel, on
the corner of Market and Second
Streets, is to be fitted up as a
nice banking office and the bank
will be moved into it as soon as
completed.
?Mr. It. EI. McGuire, one of
Smithfield's leading tobacco buy
ers, returned Sunday from Dan
ville, EUcliniond and New York.
We understand he received sever
al good orders from leading to-1
bacco firi for the coming sea
son. Mr. McGuire thinks the to-i
baeco outlook is encouraging,
that prominent tobacconists
whom he talked with think
prices will be higher this season
than last.
?B. S. Pittman who was tried
at the November Term, 1900, of
Johnston County Superior Court
lor assault with a deadly weapon
and sentenced to twelve months
an the Alamance roads, was
pardoned by the Governor Wed
nesday. He has served about
seven months of his sentence.
His pardon was asked for by the
rial Judge, the Solicitor and a
arge number of Johnston coun
