Don’t fail to call on Taylor & ls->

They will supply you.
Mr. Isaac Brock, a prominent far
mer of Cypress Creek section, was a
Trenton visitor Friday.
J. P. Harper, chairman of the,
board of county commissioners was
in Trenton last Thursday.
Several cases were heard yester
day arising from the numerous fights

The Ladies Prayer meetings last

moved to the residence of W. W.

house.
Hon. Frank Brown, of Tuckahoe,
Jones county, late representative,
was on the cotton exchange in Tren
ton last Friday.
We regret the serious illness of
Mrs. Henderson, an aged and highly
respected lady of Trenton, and moth
er of our townsman, C. C. Henderson.
Read every advertisement in the
Nkws. You will not only find these
* interesting, but many bargains are
offered that you would otherwise
miss.
Mrs. Jennie Koonce and daugh
ter Mrs. Bu:t, attended services in
Trenton last Sunday. and returned
home Monday, spending the night
with relatives.
James B. Stanley, we regret, con
tinues quite feeble. He has had a
long spell of Grippe, and it is serv
ing him pretty badly. We hope to
see him out again soon.
«
Buyers on the cotton market Fri
day were Messrs. Ball and Harvey,
of Kinston, and Meares, Harriett
and Huggins, of Polloksville. AH
of these gentlemen buy for leading
cotton houses, and pay the' highest
prices.
Our clever and efficient clerk of
the court, S. E. Koonce, has had
placed in his office a new heater, suf
ficiently large for all purposes. Not
much danger of his getting cold,
with plenty of oak wood which he
has stored away.
We are glad to announce that
the family of W. J. Komegay, who
have been so sorely afflicted with
fever, are an much improved. Mr.
Komegay, the father, was stricken
with this disease that lasted several
weeks, then his daughter Miss Con
nie, afterwards his faithful wife, but
under the ability management of
these cases by their family physi
cian, Dr. R. A. Whitaker, they will
soon be well again.

Rev. J. M. Benson preached his
last Sermon, completing the confer
ence year, last Sunday in the Meth
odist church in this place. His ser
mon was interesting and instructive,
and we heard but one expression, a
desire for the return of this good
man to Jones circuit next year.
Sheriff D. 11. Harrison returned
last Friday evening from the Eastern
part of the county, where he has
been since Tuesday of last week col
Iccting taxes. He reports money
extremely scarce, and the people
complaining of hard times, on ac
count of 5 cent cotton.
The Pop-corn entertainment giv
en by the ladies for the benefit of
the Methodist church last Friday
night was quite a success and much
enjoyed by all present. A nice
little sum was raised, and you may
be sure that the ladies will apply it
advantageously for the church’s
benefit.
Our friend F. H. Foy, of near
Polloksvillfe, was in Trenton Friday
and attended the cotton sales. He
remarked to us that he thought it
would be to his advantage to haul
his cotton to Trenton. Trenton
pays a little more than any other
market, so everybody says, and we
have no doubt but he would make
money by so doing.
We call attention to slight chang
es in the schedule of the A. and N.
C. railroad. It will be seen that the
train arrives at Cove 20 minutes la
ter in the afternoon. We will here
remark that under the new manage
ment it is a pleasure to ride on this
road. The road bed, under the Su
pervision of Capt. Hancock, seems
to be in perfect condition, and Capt-
Williatns is a model conductor.
Rev. J. M. Benson left last Mon
day for Raleigh to attend Confer
ence which convenes in that city
this week. This man of God has
done a noble work on Jones circuit
during the year just passed. More
than 100 souls have been converted
and added to the church, and the
spiritual condition of the members
in his charge is good- We were told
by Dr. Rone, Presiding Elder, that
Jones circuit is in better condition
than since the lamented Gilliam, its
once beloved pastor. Wc believe
we speak the sentcinent of a great
majority of the members when we
express the desire that MnHßcrison
be returned to this circuit.
Last Saturday afternoon pande
monium reigned supreme in the bus
iness portion of our town, \yhiskey
seemed to flow freely, drunkenness
prevailed, and several fights was
the result How long are the ladies
of Trenton to be insulted by such
scenes? If a lady had desired to do
some shopping, she could not have
done so without listening to the oaths
and vulgarity incident to such occa
sions. We have a code of ordinan
cea for the government * our town,
yet we see them constantly violated,
and no one punished. We learn
that some of our citizens will refuse
to pay taxes unless they can receive
some protection from the corpora
tion against such outrageous pro
ceedings, and we don’t blame them.
Our attention has been called to
the condition of die Jones county
poor-house. To say that it is a dis
grace to the county would not be
putting it in too strong terms. The
poor are entitled to some cansidera
tion and comfort, and the buildings
of the present county home are in
adequate for the proper care of the
inmates. There are two women and
three men cared for at this home, in
a double log cabin, the cooking to
be done in one room, and all have to
sleep in the other, both men and
women. Is this human, is it right,
hi it decent, to crowd these poor
unfortunates in uncomfortable quar
ters? J. P. Harper, chairman of
the Board of county Commissioners
informs us that it is the intention of
to buy a few acres of land nearer
Trenton, if possible, and erect a
comfortable bouse for the poor, so
they can be visited by the ladies and
others.
