We are glad lo see that Mr. Jamee Pollock le having a new fence put around hie lot on Market Street, end we must say it is a great improvement. We are glad to see this end many oth> or Improvements now being made in our town. Trenton needs more business and dwelling bouses. Hardly a day passes out what soma one is here either look ing for a house in which to transact business or to live in. Will not some one of our'enterprising citizens Beri ouslj consider this important matter of building more booses? A large crowd attended the protract ed services at Shady Grove last Sunday. The sermon in the afternoon to the children, by Bev. Mr. Kendall wae one of the beet talks we ever listened to. A large number of persona joined the church and several iufants were bap tised. The people of that section say that much good has bun accomplished by this meeting. We Want a Ralircad. .We cannot accomplish any great en terprise in tbU life without persistent earnest work, and if we set a railroad through Jons* county we most show some deelre for it fay the interest we manifest, in other words, we must go to work with a determination to ac complish the end desired, if we ever get a railroad. What will a railroad do for Jones county? There is no es timating the good that would bs ac eorapliahed thereby in developing the the rich aud fertile lends within her borders. Farmers will diversity their crops,—tracking will largely be an gaged in, thus giving us an early tnotr ey crop, aud much of the uncultivated land will go Into the beads of men who are seeking for iovsetmeut along this line, and in a f*w years this county can be timely cal ed the gaiden spot of North Criroiina. Then, again, where In North Caro lina can be found a locality that offers more adventßges for cotton factories, canning factories or other industrial enterprises? To develop these enter prises it is absolutely accessory to have adequate transportation. Again, as an investment to the rail road authorities, we unhesitatingly say that a road from Kinston by wav of Trenton to some point on the Wil mington and Nswberoe road will pay from its completion, and at the same time make the connecting link and give the Atlantic Coast Line another continuous route between Norfolk and Wilmington. Let every citizen of the county agi tate the ratlroed. It matters not whether the road runs through your land or ten miles away, all will be ben ifited alike. If Trenton. Maysville or Polloksville, or any other place bolide up It only affords a market for your supplies, aud the more consumers we have the higher the nrtaee we get. Tetter, Setlt-Rheam and Eczema.

Mrs. Green Howard, of Tucka hoe, died last week. She leaves a husband and friends to mourn her loss. W. C. Kinsey can supply you with Ruta Baga and other turnip seed. He handles none but Landreth’s which are the best. J. P. Brogden wants to see you when in Trenton. He has something to tell you that will tickle you might ly, and don’t you forget it. The steamer Howard could not reach her wharf last Monday night because of low water. The cargo was transported by fiat to the land ing- The protracted meeting at Pleas ant Hill church, in Tuckahoe closed last week. Twenty-three joined the church. The meeting was conduct ed by Rev. Mr. Petree, of Kinston. We regret very much that the in jury received by R. L. May on his leg has caused him so much trouble. For more than a week he has been unable to walk, but we are glad to note that he is improving slightly. I understand a certain young man in Maysville is offering a reward for the chaps that stole his watermelons on the night of the 30th of July. Send it on to this office and the de sired information can be had. Its terrible. The dull days in Trenton will soon pass away. When the cotton market opens and the High School begins, then the old town win presents more animated appearance; and when we get the railroad you will find it one of the livest towns in the East. We heard our clever builder and contractor say a few days ago, that he was working on very reasonable terras. He desires to make some “lumping trades” at once. We think any one who anticipates build ing soon would do well to see him. The Baptist will begin their pro tracted meeting in Trenton next Sun day. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Aider man, will be assisted by Mr. Taylor and Rev. J. T. Jenkins. The first service will be conducted by Mr. Taylor on Sunday evening at the usual hour. Trenton High School will open its Fall Session August 30th, and we insist that parents or guardian who have children to educate cannot do better than send them to this school. Prof. Rhodes, the Principal, is an ed ucator of the highest type. We hope to see a large attendance at the open ing. The Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, is just dosing one of its biggest sea sons. For the post ten years this Hotel has been running for local cus tom and at a big loss each and every year, but again Ur. Blacknall, its originator, took it in hand and has brought back from Arkansas, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia many of its old patrons, which has made the season one of gayety and profit, and demonstrated 1 to the public that to Dr. Blacknall, and to him alone, belongs the name of a Hotel man—an all round man— a wonderful man—a man versed in the Hotel business from office to kitchen —a man who meets you right —rooms ytiti right, feeds you right, and then makes you go off singing his praise. To know him is to cbm* pare him with others why try to han dle the Atlantic. Oliver Items- As it has been sometime since J have written to the News I will give you a few Items. I am 47 years old, have seen a good many things done, but never saw a bird until today that would hunt, find and kill the wasp.

Corn is tall, some 16 feet high, cot ton not so good as laat year; fodder saving time is here, and as soon as it is over cotton picking is on. Mrs Mary E. Jenkins has her new house in shape now. Peter Andrews and L. Taylor are the contractors. There has been preaching at Piney Grove for seven days, and eight ac cessions to the church.
