Gilliam, an attorney from Jacksonville, was in Trenton last Thursday on legal business. Blonnie Komegay, of Wilmington' son of W. J. Komegay, is at home visiting his father, who is quite sick. J. E.

George, of New berne, preached two interesting ser mons in the Episcopal church, in Trenton, last Sunday. L. T. Gillett, of Maysville, was in Trenton last week. He dropped in to see the News and reports his prosperous little town on a boom. We again urge those who owe us for subscription to call and settle, as all accounts are now due. Don’t neglect this when you sell your cot ton. Rev. Mr. Alderman will conduct services in the Baptist church next Sunday morning at eleven o’clock. He has arranged so as to preach in Trenton every third Sunday. All arc invited to attend. T. A. Bell and Bra., Polloksville, N.

Hunter have opened a restaurant next door to W. M. Coble’s store. They will keep fresh oysters, and will supply you with this delicious sea food at all times, either on the half-shell or fry or stew. If you want a square meal you can get it. We have not words to express our gratitude to our friend G. L. Griffin, of Polloksville, for the inter est he is taking in the News. He has sent us a large number of sub scribers and is still doing what he can. Mr. Griffin is employed by T. A. Bell and Bros., and the great suc cess of this firm is not surprising when they are so lucky as to have in their employ such gentlemen as Mr. Griffin. The. Polloksville Journal corres pondent is in error Hi regard to what we said about typhoid fever in Tren ton and the drying up of the mill pond. We told him there was one case of fever and numerous chills, in town, and many attributed it to the low water in the pond and river. With the exception of chills there is not a healthier place in the State than Trenton, and as for the pond, Mr. Brogden, the owner, tells us that physicians have decided that it in noway effects the health of the town. EASTERN I IWiIIVI NW& We have been informed that a; survey will probably be made of the I proposed road, connecting the Wil-1 mington and Newberne with the Greenville branch at Kinston, in a short time. Wc arc bound to have j a road by Trenton, and it will cornel j We are glad to see the improve- 1 ment being made on the store of J. * P. Brogden. A neat business office has been built, and new shelving put in. From appearances this gentle man is doing a large share of the trade. W. H. Hammond, of Cypress Creek, was in town last Saturday. Our friend, believing that the flow ing beard improves the appearance of man, has concluded to let his grow. However, this will not add much to his beauty, for he isa hand some fellow any way. Oettinger' Bros., Kinston, N. C. have changed their ad. in to-day's News. Read it carefully, and re member this is the place to buy your goods when in Kinston. They cany a stock from which you can select whatever you want Tell them you saw their ad in the News. Our young and handsome friend, J. B. Pollock will lead to the hymen ial altar to-night at 8 p. m. in the Episcopal church, Miss Maud Kin sey, one of Trenton's most accom plished young ladies. The ceremo ny will be performed by Rev. T. M. N. George. The News extends hearty congratulations to this young couple. May their pathway through life be one of pleasure and happiness. A number of complaints have been made to us recently about the irregularity of receiving : the News from the Polloksville’ postoflfice. One gentleman subscribed for the paper more than a month ago, never re ceived a copy, but upon investiga tion found all the numbers in the postoffice. Although he had re peatedly sent to the office for the paper. As a result of somebody’s .carelessness, he informed our agent to stop it. We dislike to have to make complaint, but in justice to ourselves, we are compelled to do so. Rev. Mr. Hines, Presbyterian min ister, called to see us Saturday, He informed us that it was his intention to arrange an appointment here once a month, and would, if nothing pre vented, preach in Trenton on the 3d Sunday in November. We were also informed by this gentleman that the Presbyterian Male and Fe male college, at Kenansville, had o pened with most flattering prospects, with the Rev. Mr. Lancaster as its president. While this institution is under the control of the Wilmington Presbytery, yet it is non sectarian. To The Pnblic, It has been reported that I was going to pack up my goods and go back to Newberne. I would state to the good people of Trenton and the surrounding county that there is not a word of truth in it. I suppose it comes from my friends who make it their business to tell customers that I am here selling off some of Duffy’s old stock, that he can't handle in Newberne. All I ask is for the good people who hear these reports to come in and see for themselves and if I don’t show them as new goods and for less money than they eVer bought in Trenton, 1 will not say any more. All I ask is a fair show. Respectfully, Duffy Drv Goods Co. ' Jas. A‘. Thomas, Manager, Trenton, N. C. We publish with pleasure the a bove from Mr. Thomas, the manager of the Duffy Dry Goods Co. We will state further that we asked Mr, Thomas in regard to his permanent location in Trenton, he said to us that "he had come to Trenton to stay,” that he hoped to move his family here in the near future, and become a permanent citizen of our town. We most heartily ask the people of Jones to give Mr. Thomas 1 a liberal share of their patronage. fi Paper for Classes ofPeople Who Wantthe J-atest News. TRENTON, N. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1897. When in Polloksville last week we were informed that Mrs. J. H. Bell was on the sick list Wc hope she has entirely recovered ere this. Sheriff D. H. Harrison was in Trenton Saturday and called to see the Nkws. He reports the health of his section good, and farmers progressing finely gathering their crops. Cotton is being rapidly picked out, and scon the crop of 1897 will be a thing of the past. It will unques tionably be a short one in this sec section, yet we have heard of some who say that they will make more cotton on the same number of acres than they did last year. The great trouble with the fanners is the low prices and no reasonable excuse can be given for this except the specu lators. If there should be a nine or ten million bale crop, still that would be no more than was consumed last year, when we take into considera tion the cotton carried over from the crop of 1895. What we need are laws to protect the farmers against speculators in futures. Maysville N C This little town is situated on the Wilmington and Newberne railroad 21 miles from Newberne and 15 from Trenton. It is beautifutly located and is said to be the healthiest place in Jones county. It is surrounded by fertile and productive lands, a mong which is the rich White Oak section, and as a rule the farmers are in a prosperous condition, which is a sure guarantee of the prosperity of Maysville. This town is incorpo rated, and has for its mayor Lewis Bynum, a man of wealth and full of push and energy. Here is located the Maysville Supply C 0.,, which is doing an immense mercantile busi ness. Its trade extends for many miles around, and reaches far into the adjoining county, Onslow. A. J. Collins another large and prosperous merchant is located here, and does an extensive trade. He also carries on the livery business, and keeps on hand a good stock of horses and vehicles, with which to accommodate the public. The Maysville Ginning Co., has,' erected a plant and we are glad to know is doing well. Many new residences and business houses have recently been built, and Maysville has the appearance of be ing the most thrifty and prosperous place on the Wilmington and New beme railroad. We will have more to say about our little town in the future if you will permit. * In Memprfam, Ida May White, died Sept 28,1897. When the angel of death came and took from earth our darling, in the very bloom of her lovely young womanhood, we.felt our heartstrings tom asunder. But knowing her gen tle Christian character, we each day feel more and more our irreparable loss is her eternal gain. While we would in all humility say, "Thy will he done,” still our hearts can but yearn, “For the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still.” Perhaps I knew her worth better than many of her friends; ever gen tle, true and kind—her influence will ever live, and she, sweet friend, will be our guiding star, while "beck oning higher the loved ones here.” Her many friends and acquaint ances deeply sympathize with the bereaved family and the young hus band, in his life blasting sorrow. But if wc that loved her so tenderly will only follow in her footsteps, tak ing as our example, her gentle, un selfish and patient life, we too will some day safely erbss the river, and “gather the flowers” with our prec ious one on the fair Eden shore. “Like to the flowers she lived and bloomed, As bright and pure as they; And like a flower the blight hand touched, v*? She early passed away.” Hswbem’s BUSIEST Store, Back at Our Old Stand.
