The following item is ? taken

H. Dupree, of Stephenson, John
ston county, had some very nice
peaches on the market Tuesday.
II is best peaches sold readily at

35 cents a peck. Mr. Dupree said
the peach crop was short and in
ferior."
?A correspondent writing from
Hillsboro to the Raleigh News
and Observer concerning the
Orange county Teacher's Insti

Johnston county's best teachers:
'The address of Prof. Canaday

1908 was thrilling."
?One day this week W. F. I'ar

the court. Mayor Bingham then
sent him to jail 10 days for con
tempt. He has since been re
leased.
?There were more than 100

disappointed. We understand 1

is taken from Monday's Golds

The news of the death of Mr.

his many friends and acquain
tances throughout this county,
where he was well known and
where he had lived all his life un
til about two years ago, when he
married the second time and
changed his residence to Johnston
county.
We might go on and sum'up j
his virtues and excellent traits of |
character if they were not so
well known. They need no intro
duction from this source. We
could say nothing that would be
more to his credit than to tell!
that he was a brave Confederate;
soldier and carries with him to j
his last resting place wounds |
that he received 011 the field of
battle, lie was a prominent
character at all gatherings of the
Democratic party while he was
a citizen of this county and did
the excellent service* which will j
not soon be forgotten.

this county will have their annual
reunion in Smithfield Thursday,
September 12th.
?Messrs. Skinner & Ragsdale

cholera which they are giving
away free to their customers.

ago, looking at the high prices j
on our tobacco market.
