Coble, the inimitable pear raise/, invited the News last Wed nesday, to join him in partaking of the luxuriant mammoth pear that has been on exhibition in his store for the past week. Its exact weight was two pounds, and its flavor was of the most delicate. S•‘ I » > mmm carolm news. L. J. Hawkins showed us twin hogs feet a few days ago. There were two perfectly formed feet on the left leg of the hog, and when he walked two distinct tracks were made lie also brought us a hogs tusk that measured 7 inches in length. In the case of the State vs. James Taylor, for stealing a mule, the de fendant was represented by Wooten and Shaw, of Kinston. To all ap pearances this was a plain case of larceny, and the prevailing opinion was that Taylor was bound to go to the penitentiary.. But under the judicious management of the case by its attorneys, to the surprise of many, a verdict of “not guilty” was brought in by the jury. We had the pleasure of meeting in our office last week E L Ilaugh ton, the largest fanner in Jones county. His property is located on the Wilmington and Newbeme rail road, four miles south of Polloks ville, and contains 640 b acres. He has in cultivation this year i,ioo acres, 600 in cotton and 500 in com About 1,400 acres are cleared leav ing 5000 in woods This land is adapted to the growth of any crop, and especially to trucking. Mr I laugh ton’B crop this year was good and the only trouble is the low price of cotton, but we think the farmers of Jones intend in the future to di versify their crops, and not depend solely on cotton for their money product % In our list of lawyers who attend ed Jones Superior Court last week, we unintentionally omitted the name of H. C. Richardson, the highly es teemed solicitor of this district. By the way, this clever gentleman gave us his name as a subscriber to the News, and expressed some surprise at the publication of a paper in Tren ton. *‘For,” said he, Jones was the only county on my district that had no newspaper, and as I take them all, and send them home to my bet ter half, she keeps up pretty well with me, and 1 had congratulated myself upon the fact that when I was in Trenton and desired to have a little fun, there was no paper to report it. But now I shall have to behave myself or you newspaper men will be telling it.” We are proud of the service we are render ing this good lady, and will say that the Solicitor behaved very nicely last week. Rather Own it We asked a gentleman a few days ago what he thought of the Red mond farm Said he, “I had rather own it than any other tract of land in Jones county. It has more nat ural advantages than any place I know of, and it can be made one of the richest and most fertile places in North Carolina, with little cost, and will produce any kind of crop. Then the close proximity to Trenton, the county seat, where ia located one of the best schools in the State, church es of different denominations, and a market that pays a little more for your cotton than any other, makes it all the more valuable.” Sirin Hayes Meadows, the<gon of Balaam Meadows, one of Trenton’s colored citizens, becoming 21 years of age Monday, his father in appre ciation of x his obedience, honored his birth day, and gave him his’ free dom, by giving a reception that night Paper for fa.v Classes op People Who Want the Latest News.
