Cherryville, April 3 —Lovely
spring weather, cool nights and
pleasant days.
The most thriving business
done here this spring is that in
which the farmers seem to be
moat interested—the fertilizer
business. There are five con.
ccrna dealing in the odorous
commodity at this place. The
two leading dealers have, since
the market fairly opened, (and
that was nnosually early this
spring) sold an average of twen
ty-five to thirty tons per day j
leaving off the very rainy days.
Having enquired of quite a
■umber of farmers, I find that
there will not be any reduction
of acreage in the cotton cron in
the north-west corner of Gaston,
and adjoining sections of other
counties.
Among other improvements in
the way of building, Dr. W. H.
Houser is rearing for himself a
modern commodious two story
residence.
Spinners are in demand at the
cotton nulls here.
About four weeks ago a Cher
ry ville lady found an egg in. one
of her hen-nests that measured
in circumference 6x8 inches.
Three weeks ago she pnt it un
der a hen and to-day the shell is
broken and from it has emerged
an enormously large, fat squab
of * chicken. Should it contioae
proportionately large till prown,
it bids fair to be as large as a
turkey.
Rev. C. W. Payseor, pastor of
the Baptist church. Is keeping
himself close about home these
days, in consequence of n severe
pounding be received last Sat
urday night. Between 8 and
9 o’clock, when be had about
finished tbe aormisings of his
preparatory work for the mor
row, a gentle tap was heard at
the door. Upon opening the
door, he was confronted with a
crowd who did not wait to be
invited, but seized the oppor
tunity to enter as soon as the
door was opened, rushed into
the ball and there upon tbe floor
of the parsonage gave him a
pounding be is not likely to re
cover from for several weeks.
The ponndieg was of about 46
varieties, ranging in severity
from a package of toothpicks to
a full tack of flour
Rev.'O. L. Stringfield came
to our town last eyeuing. He
preached at night ana again
this morning. He will preach
to ns this week and probably
next. Every body is invited to
attend these services.

Why don’t more people who
can write write for The Ga

write and tell what baa become
■of those who used to write.
Have they all got fat iobs? If
to, we would like to hear from
them anyhow. The county is
pretty well represented with
candidates for sheriff. Surely
they gather up lota of news as
they circulate oyer the connty.
and I am sure the people would
be interested to bear from them
Mr. Lee per and the surveyor
came np last Tuesday to lay off
the road from Bessemer to Cher
ryville, but it rained so much
that they went home.
It is reported that we at Bes
semer don’t want good roads.
Well you just ask the people
along that road and all through
the upper part of the county, if
they don’t need a good roAd to
Bessemer City, and they will
•ay, "Yea, it it the best market
in the connty; no exceptions.”
Again,evary family shoold take
their county paper, and those
who live on R. P. D. routes take

While lam on the road ques

near Esquire Darneron’s between*
Cberryvitlc and Gastonia sug
gests that we ought to have
more overseers or else divide np

I don't want any road overseer'*

We are having whooping

A company of half a dozen or

after the noon hour and were on
their way np to tbe spinning
room on tbe fifth story. As the
elrvator reached tbe first floor a
littlelgirl screamed. Tbe elevator
was stopped and returned to tbe
first floor. One of tbe boys was
down on tbe platform with his
bead crashed. It was Goy
•Carver. He was lying down
on tbe platform calliag to some
companions, below when bis
bead was caught and crushed
under tbe second floor. An
other account says that he
