TRENTON, N. C-, WEDNESDAY MAY 20. 1897.
Biorehead City-
We made a hurried trip last Thurs
day svemng, to this beautiful littit city
beside old ocean, where the hsalthfol
and invigorating breese tons dull car#
away. W* found everything in readi
ness for the large crowd that is expect
ed i this Summer. At lb* Atlantic
Hotel, wa met Dr. Blackuall with a
big force getting ready tor June let.
and to say the Atlantic is herself
again is but saying what every one is
prepared to hear.
Tbe Doctor is a born hotel man anil
acy attempt to imitate him subjects
the imitator to ridicule, for it just
can’t be done. He has a kind word
for every one. yet never neglects the
smallest thing pertaining to the man
agement.
Wunderfill, wonderful it is to see
him work so easy- Mock of the pleas
ures of this beautifol sea side resort are
derived from the genial companion
ship of this axealeot gentleman. The
Atlantic Hotel can accommodate one
thousand guests, end we hope It will
be full through the satire season. The
pleasurers of a season at this retort
can uever be erased from memory.
On the 6th of June the State Medical
Convention meet* in Morehead, and
on the IBth following, tbe Teacher*
Assembly wilt hold Its annual seeaiou
in their Assembly halt. Both of these
bodies will he accommodated at tbe
Atlantic.
We bad the pleasure pf meeting
CaptC. K. Hancock, superintendent
of the construction department of the
A. A N. C. Railroad at Morehead
City lest Thursday evening. Cnpt.
Hancock i* a moat excellent gentle
men and will Alt the position be oocu
pies most acceptably. The road bed
under his management will soon be as
good as any In tbe elate. The Captain
informed ns that it wee the Intention
of the President to arrango for cheap
transportation so that North Caro
linians could enjoy the pleasures of
their own eenelde summer resort in
stead of being hauled off to another
State.
F-r the Nrws.
Mr. Editor All of tbe beet au
thorities agree that tbe best and cheap
set waT to Improve your lands Is to
plant cow peas in the summer manure
them with Kainit end acid phosphate,
and this will leave your laud la the
very beet fix to put iu cotton or other
crop* next spring. The increased pea
orop will about pay for the fortll **r,
and there will be enough left of the
phosphate and kainit to furnish the
spring cro>R, and jour land will be In
much better fix than if the Barns forti
lutra were applied direct to the spring
crop, And you have yottr pea .crop ex
tra.
