Postmaster Green informs us that he has turned the office over to W. H.

Koonce, of Polloksvillfe, drove out of town last Saturday morning as we were com ing to the office. The Doctors trips to Trenton are brief, but we are al ways glad to see him, and would like to see him oftener, and have him stay longer when he comes. When in Newbeme last Monday we called to see our friend F. Ul rich, the grocer, and found him busy at the old stand, selling goods marked low down. This clever gen tleman will soon be on his feet again, and as of yore, prepared to furnish his customers with the best goods. We had the pleasure of stopping with onr friend J. H.

It has been said that if “mistakes were hay stacks all the poor cows would grow fat.” An editor, by no means claims A be infatible, but lia ble to mistakes a* other people. In our last weeks report of the pro ceedings of Jones superior court in the case of slate vs. Hunter and Mil er, it should have been C. S. Hun ter instead of Tbos. Hunter, as print ed. In the beginning of this article we used the word “Durham" instead of "Jones" superior court. This is a very natural mistake for one to make, who had lived in a town for twenty-one years as the editor had in Durham. We have no apologies however, to make for this eqror, for the name Durham is honorable whenever Vmd wherever published, when it refeVa to the beautiful city in central Carolina. " A FOR yfcjLL P-ASSE3 OF fEOPLE J-ATEST JIeWS. TRENTON, N. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1897.

We stopped with Mrs. Washburn, a Jones county lady, whe keeps a first-class boarding house, and en tertains her guests with generous liberality. Black Crimes Committed, The following was clipped from the Durham Herald Nov. 14th: One of the most fiendish crimes ever committed in Durham, and probab ly in the State, was the one which was committed between here and East Durham yesterday morning at 9 o’clock. As a result of the crime two souls were suddenly ushered in to eternity. Just before 9 o’clock yesterday morning a negro by the name of Henry Green, about 35 years of age, went to the home of Sallie Lassiter, who lives on an alley in the rear of R. O. Scoggins’ place and deliber ately jerked her eight-ycar-ald son Daniel Lassiter, out of the door and shot him to death without the slightest provocation. The negro devil then quietly walked from the scene of the crime, but retribution was quick and sure. Fifteen min utes after he had murdered the child he in turn was killed by R. O. Scoggins, while attempting to arrest him. -» «» Pollokevillfe! Items. Don’t fail to attend the musical and literary entertainment at the Disciple church on the night of Thanksgiving.
