?It is astonishing to see how !
much tobacco is being sold od
the Smithfield market these days, j
Each day there are big sales at j
each house and the prices remain
high.
?The Smithfield tobacco mar-!
Jket is a wonder. No other young
market in the State is meeting
with such success. The tobacco
farmers know this and that is
why so many of them sell their j
tobacco here.
?Smithfield will have three
buyers on its cotton market this |
season. The tobacco market
here is one of the best in the State
and our cotton market now bids
fair to be as good as the best. J
Farmers should remember this.
?J. W. Stephenson and Walter j
Rand have bought the ginnery I
?on the street leading to the de- j
pot and put it in first-class!
condition. They have begun

date railroad man and has a very
good and responsible position.
?Save the condition of the |
President, the question most in I
the mind of the public to-day is
the Schley Court of Inquiry, c
Knowing that The Herald read-j
efs are interested in this court [ |
we have, on another page i
given an illustrated article which i
tells the causes which brought i
about this Court of Inquiry.
?One of the most laughable!
and most enjoyable entertain- i
nients witnessed in Smithfield in
a long time was the Old Maids'
^Convention at Sanders Hall last |
Friday night. All the young
ladies, dressed infunny old-timey,;
grotesque costumes, performed I
their parts exceedingly well. Two
of the most taking parts on the!
program were the solos by Miss
Annie Standi and Miss MattieJ
Woodall. The net proceeds, which
were given to the Methodist par
sonage fund, amounted to nearly
f.'H).

A Relict ot the Bentonvllle Battle
field.
Through the thoughtfulness of
our enterprising townsman, Mr.
W. M. Sanders, the old soldiers
and all present had an oppor
tunity yesterday of viewing a
portion of a battle-scarred tree
taken from the Bentonsville bat
tle ground. Mr. Sanders sent his
wagon down to Bentonsville
Wednesday and brought the in
teresting relict here and set it up
on the Court House square. The
tree is only a shell of a pine which
has been dead many years. There
are two holes through the trunk
made by grape shot on March
ID, 1S65. There are signs of
many other shots which shows
that the tree was in the thickest
of the tight.
The act of Mr. Sanders was
greatly appreciated by the vete
rans and many people viewed the
scarred trunk with considerable
interest.
