SELMA NEWS. Mr. R. 1$. Whitley is at Wendell this week. Work has begun or. .Mr. It. It. Whitleys new stores. Miss Gertrude Landis. of Ral eigh, is visiting Miss Annie Noble Mr. C. W. Richardson is visit- j ing friends in Wilders and < bieals this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Spiers, Jr., has returned from Hanover, Va., where they had been on a visit io Mr. Spiers uncle. The roofing has been put on and the floor is now being laid in one of our warehouses. They will be ready for the grand open ing on August 1st, 1901. We want all of Johnston county's farmers to tie here at our opening with a load of tobacco. They will get good prices for it. This : place is bound to be the market I for the tobacco in Johnston as well as for the cotton. You all know that while a little cotton is sold in other places in the fall, j that Selma is the only place in the county that buys cotton all the year round. So bring on your tobacco. In vaindidStnithfleld's Captain urge Willie Hood to keep his head. "You're pitching good ball old man," etc., etc., but Tittle Willie had run up against some thing which he was unable tc? i cojie with, and Selma had jumped on him for ten clean hits l>efore i the game was over, and Little | Willie's "rep" was lost. It was a nice, clean game of ball; one which we all enjoyed. Selma won thegaine by hitting; as to errors, I only four were charged against Smithtield with two for Selma. We hear another game has been arranged for Friday next. Well boys take a brace, for perhaps "things may take a turn."

Well, well, boys, and this is the way the little thing happened. The Smithtield team, hilarious over her recent victories, dropped upon Selma Tuesday afternoon, saying " they had come over to be amused." Well they were! Too much blowing had inflated the balloon too much and Smit h field went up. She couldn't help It. Smithtield did her best to cut loose the parachute, but up sli^ went, and didn't comedown until the little thing was done to the tune of six to one. PRINCETON DOTS. Mr. W. G. Brewer is complain ing of rheumatism this week. Our tobacco farmers are curing tobacco in our section. Some re port sorry tobacco crops. Our farmers say theircrops are not so good as expected. Too much rain has cut them short. Itev. .1. W. Nobles filled his reg ular appointment here Sunday. H is sultject was "God so Loved the World." No preaching Sun day night on account ot begin ning a series of meetings at Par risli's Chapel. Mr. Hen Howell will soon have completed his new gin here. He is now putting in his double press and machinery for packing cot ton. Mr. Howell will be prepared to do ginning on short notice. He will also have his arrange ments so fixed that there will be no fatigueing work for the pat rons. The Haptist Sunday School picnic last Wednesday at Holts Mill was a success ana an enjoy able affair. A large crowd at tended and ate a hearty dinner, after which there was an abund ance of food left. Every one said It was the nicest and greatest Sicnic they ever attended! After inner the happy couples went strolling, fishing, ridiug, etc., while the little ones enjoyed them selves throwing rocks into the pond and swinging in the shade of the giant oaks. There was also on the grounds a talking machine for the benefit of the Sunday School children. E. NOTICE.

BENSON BUDGET. ? Mr. Faucetteol The Farmers'! is here. W. 8. Utley was home from | Wilson Sunday. Public school in this district j opens .luly 22nd. Farmers don't know when to "lay by," this year. Mrs. .1. W. Benson is visiting relatives at Chapel Hill. The cider season is with us, so far without its concomitant. W. 1). Thomas' horsedied Wed nesday morning almost suddenly. J. B. Dunn, who h.'is been very feeble for several months died Friday night. Hev. W. G. Hall lias been called to the pastorate of the Baptist church at Plymouth. Klder James Johnson will preach in Hudson's warehouse, i Friday evening at 8 o'clock. Stock law for our town is being advocated by several citizens. [ and is seconded by the railroad ; company. J. A. & It. (i. Taylor, of Dunn, were here Wednesday adjusting j the claim of A. B. Hudson for loss by fire. Mrs. A. L.

A car load of bar-room supplies is a larger shipment than is usual to receive in these parts, but such a shipment was received at W. J. McDonald's branch house here Monday. Hen Allen, a young white man, sold a mortgaged bicycle to raise money to go to the army, and it well-nigh cost the State the ex pense of maintaining the mort gagee ill the State Hospital. We note another change in business circles. Hereafter it w ill be I'reston VVoodall A Son. lbe new partner nrrived Sunday 12 o'clock p.m., practically without experience, but active enough to maintain a busy house. Miss Anna Stevens, daughter of It. M. Stevens, of Elevation, died Thursday of fever at the age of 18 years, ller brother, Ixjnny, who clerked for Wilson Allen last spring is s<%far recovered that he is thought to be out of danger. Both tobacco warehouses will open Aug. 2d and it is expected 11hat there will be much of the weed sold here that day. Com petition is strong, and no one need fear that he won't get the full worth of his tobacco. No efforts will be spam! to make this market equal to any 111 the county. Recent occurrences in our town suggests the advisability of using caution as to how and when and where you administer duns to debtors'. It may be strengthen ing to the town treasury in its emaciated condition since that attack of small pox in the spring, but sometimes it runs up new bills on both sides. Tunnel Heath, a veteran of the civil war, is in his Tilth year, but he was the tirst man to put home raised water-melons on our market. He could have been earlier but for the nocturnal visits of two scoundrel thieves who ravaged his patch while the old man slumbered and slept, resting from t he labors of the day and counting the shekels in his' dreams.
