A great amount of rain fell Tues day. J. R. Ball, of Kinston, was in Tren ton Monday buying cotton. Dr. R. A. Whitaker went to Ncw- Berne last week on business.

The Cove mail has changed its schedule, so postmaster Green in forms us, and leaves at 7:15 a. m., instead of 7:45. - Owing to the sickness of Rev. J. M.

Bar ker, of Trenton, died at his home in i New Berne, last Monday morning, of hemorhagic fever. Sam Lipman is fitting up the store room next to W. M.

Complaints are continually being made about some of the street lamps. New parts for those that are injured can be gotten at a very little f©st, and it should be done at once. N. J. Leary paid friends and rela tives a visit last Sunday. * Nick is living in Maysville, and if reports be true he is likely to make this beau tiful little city his future home. P. S. . Since writing the above, we have been informed that this clever gentleman will be married to day at 4 o’clock p. m., in the'’Bap tist church at Maysville. We ex tend congratulations. Bill wagons of the John Robison and Franklin Bros., enormous shofr are passing through this section quite frequently now, decorating the fen ces and sides of houses with their pictures all along the road. Rt Rev. C. R. Harris, D, D., Bishop of the A. M. E. Z. Confer ence, North Carolina division, will preach in Trenton Wednesday night of this week. Special arrangements will be made for white visitors. All are kindly invited. The rains last week eaused the wa ter in the wells and pond to rise con siderably. VVe hope this will be the means of breaking up the chills which have been scourging this commuqity all through the intense ‘ dry sessofc* We think it would be advisable for those qL«out farmers who have forage to'sell, especially grain, to hriqgwome of it to Trenton. They cocdp. dispose of a considerable amoufit of it at prices thdy cannot possibly get, later in the season. We had the pleasure of attending the Fair at Raleigh last week, Al though the weather was disagreea ble, a large* crowd attended Thurs day and Friday. The exhibitions we thought, were rather above, the average*. The farm products, stock and poultry exhibits were excellent. Last Friday was the largest cot ton day that has bean in Trenton this season. Wc attribute the great rush to the failure of the cotton buyers to put in their appearance on last Wednesday. Cotton sold at a mis erable price, although the prices were as good if not a little better; than elsewhere. Man needs but little here below, But needs that little every day. To feed and clothe his family. And for his debts to pay. The above is not in accord with the world in general, but if the peo ple would adhere more closely to their needs than to their wants, con flicts would not present themselves so frequently. One of the greatest attractions at Trenton High School is the debating society, recently organized. A so ciety of this kind does more to round up ones education than anything else. This is one of the best prepar atory schools in the State, and we ask all who have children to educate to give it careful consideration before sending them elsewhere. The Guessing Contest The guessing contest, under the auspices of the Bright Jewel Miss ionary Society, Mrs. W. H. Rhodes Manager, held in the chapel of the TrentOti High School, last Friday night was a perfect success. The object of the occasion was to raise money to help defray the ex penses of the Ladies’ Foreign Home Mission Society, and to make it more interesting a prize was offered to the one who guessed the greater number of the flags, of die different nations, which were prepared for the occasion, and a booty prize to be given to the one that guessed the LeWst number. All who took part in the contest took seats, and when the ci.ferent flags were pointed out they would write the name of the nation to which it belonged on a slip of paper pre pared for same. When all were through guessing an exchange of papers was made for correction. The Largest number guessed was 15, by Miss Mamie Thornton and Sim Haywood each. To undo the tie they pulled straws, and Sim Haywood got the prize, which was a beautiful little glass cup. G. G. Nobles had the honor of getting the booty prize, which was the flags.

While in New Berne a few days ago we had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Mayfield, a travelling sales man, and he said that Mackey Ho tel was the best be had stopped since he had been travelling in Ngrth Car olina.

Thera is a disposition prevailing among the farmers of this section of .Tone* to disparage ttys cultivation of tobacco, but we hop** they will soon see the necessity of diversifying their crop*. It is an evident fact that there is no mousy in cotton at 5 ana 6 ceuts, than why not try 4 or 8 acres in tobac co re an experiment, this wiU nut hurt very much. If von fail on ths first crop try it ag iin. Our soil i* as fitted for Iha cultivation of tobacco as any in Craven or Pitt; in both of these coun ties the farmsrs do well, especially those who cultivate small crops. We know of several who have closed out their whole crop at 8 and 0 cent! per nound. A fair yield ie said to be 800 to POO nouads to the acre.
