We hope plans will. soon -be con summated and the building right early go up. A Paper for ft. ll Plasse3 ofPeopjle the JJews. TRENTON, N. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1898. While in Polloksville last Wednes-' day with my little son Ed, the stable loft of J. H. Bell, containing several tons of hay, crushed through to the ground. Little Earl Bell and Ed [ were riding a cduple of ponies around the lot. and just passed under the part of floor before it fell. An eye witness, a colored boy, says that when the cracking commenced it caused the ponies to jump forward, saving the boys, when it came down it was in three feet of one of them. Gen. J. B. Banks had the mis fortune to loose a dwelling house by fire about three weeks ago on the old Jno. Adams place, Tuckahoe township. The origin of the fire is unknown, but believed to be the work of an incendiary. The Gener al says he will give fifty dollars to catch the person who stuck the torch to bis house. We hate to be lieve that wc have in Jones county any one, bo devoid of principle, who would wilfully burn the property of another in the night, or at any oth er time. Three young ladies of Trenton went out for a drive a few evenings ago, and coming to a washout in the road, in which the front wheels of the buggy had gone, when the po ny gave a spring, causing the single tree to give way, liberating the an imal and throwing two of the ladies to the ground. The pony dashed down the street at break-neck speed, but was stopped by one of our gal lant young men. Quite a crowd started to where the accident oc curred, but had not gone far before they saw the young ladies coming merrily towards them. No one was hurt. " ' ' ' "" ■ ■ " ""!■■■ What has become of our Itemizers in the sifferent sections of this and adjoining counties? Let us hear from you, 1 have just received a cargo of 1112 sacks of fertilizers, of all kinds and can now furnish farmers what they may need. I have the guano on hand for your plant beds and to grow bright tobacco. Call ‘on me when you need these goods. T. C. WHITAKER. We call attention to the fact that Jones county land is extra product ive and valuable, and adapted to the growth of almost any crop. We have many farmers who are making money farming even at the low pri ces of their products. You take the man, that raises in addition to cotton and com, potatoes and hogs, in other words, diversifies his crop, and you will generally find one who is making some money and is “ahead.” A farmer cannot raise 4 and 5 cent cotton and -pay $2.50 a barrel for com to fatten his hogs on. There is no special reason for the farmer to be crying out “h: nd times," if they raise what they consume, but they eannot buy the necessaries of life with 5 cent cotton alone, and keep their “heads above water." •-•'■-■u- •: t.tt 11 T"Brßi'.i:::. , rgaß; i eßi i J^ißg.
