The News office has been moved across the street to the corner house. I would he glad to have my friends call. You are always welcome. Our yonng friend Frank Waters, has returned to Trenton and is pre pared to build you a house, or do any other work you may need in his line. The social gathering at L. A. Haywood’s last Friday night was ; quite an enjoyable occasion, and all expressed themselves as having a delightful time. In answer to a postal from our valued Polloksville correspondent we will state that we did not receive the items till Friday after the News was issued on Tuesday. Yes, we want to hear from you every week. Col. Win. Pope, General Solicit ing agent for the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad, was in Trenton last week on business. We hear the name of this gentleman spoken of in connection with the presidency of this road.* , S. S. Waters and C. C.

Mr. Mattocks has had sev eral years experience ip the tobacco culture and we predict success for these gentlemen. We received, too late for this is sue, a most interesting communica tion from L. B, Haskins, one ! of Jones county’s most worthy young men, who is attending the Universi ty at Lexington, Ky. Accompanying the letter is $1 to pay his subscrip tion to the Nbws for 1898. Thank you.

We learn that Sam Windley of this place, who has invented a plow that is of great value, has made ar rangements to put it on the market at an early day. Lon Taylor received a few days ago a lot of as fine horses and mules as you ever saw. Wc arc glad to know that he is meeting with much success in the sale of stock, and this is because he will not knowingly misrepresent an animal in order to make a sale. We ask our people who are in need of stock to call to see him before buying, that is if you want a good horse or mule. With this issue closes the first volume of the Eastern Carolina News. We, have endeavored to make the paper as interesting and instructive as possible, giving the local and general News, as we could get it But our chief aim has been to develop the material welfare of the county, to aid its citizens in the way of prosperity all that we could. How far we have accomplished our aim we leave the public to judge. We tliank the people for their kind patronage, and' promise them to make the News a better paper, but to do this we must have your liberal support. Capt. E* M. Pace, one of the pio neers of leaf tobacco in Virginia and ; North Carolina, id dressed a portion of the farmers of Jones last Satur day, in the Court House at Trenton, |on the culture of tabacco. The Capt ain gave the farmers some whole some advice on the subject, and as a result of his talk, a large number will plant tobacco this year. He al so distributed seed and a small pam phlet giving a treatise on the culti vation of tobacco. This gentleman is thoroughly versed on the subject of his discourse, and if the people will follow his advice they will not go wrong. The attention of our readers is called to the new advertisement of the Newbemt Fair in this issue of the News. The management has added unusual attractions, among which, is a free entertainment by the Kemp Sister’s Hippodrome and Wild West Shows, where can be seen the veritable cow boys and girls with their ponies, mustangs and trappings, exhibiting the wonders of every day life in the West. This alone is worth a trip to the Fabyhe stdes many other attractions equally as good. We have been reliably informed that the racing will be the finest ever seen in North Carolina, and the purses aggregate $4060. Don’t fail to go. J The tWQ men who have been in our midst for sometime, representing themselves as preachers of the Church of Jesus Christ or Latter Day Saints, have been reinforced by two others. This is the same old Mormon church, founded by itlie no torious Joe Smith, and suppressed a few years ago by the Government on account of its infamous poligamy doctrine of allowing men as many wives as they chose to have. One of these meq told us in our office that the Bible taught poligamy and the reason it was not now practiced was because the law prohibited it.— We again warn the people against these men; their doctrine is danger ous and calculated to do much harm. /l Paper for yku, f lasses or feoHLE the JYews. TRENTON, N. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1898. DON’T GIVE UP BOYS. j It was a "fool” although not an j "April fool” that several of our gal- 1 lant sons of pleasure received when they reached the place where antic- ! ipation had pictured a scene of much fertivity, on last Friday night. AH was dark and dreary; not a ray of light peared through an orifice in the house; hearts that were gay sank in unutterable dispair, and had one been passing that way they would have seen a crowd of sore gram looking pleasure seekers. It is all over now though, and we wish our friends .more success in future. COMFORT ITEMS. * Married at thfc residence of the bride’s father, Lewis Jarman, Mr. Peter VVinsett and Miss Martha Jar man, both of Cypress Creek. Mr. C. A. Rhodes officiating. We are sincerely proud that our Peter has at last reaped the full fruition ot his long cheerished antic ipations. And as his example is so worthy of emulation by many young men, we hope that his present peace and domestic happiness may great ly increase as he journeys along life’s pathway. R. J. R. H. PROMISE ITEMS * We are having some warm weath er for the time of the year, but E. Cox says we are going to have some weather that will freeze the ground about a foot deep. I hope his pre diction will not be true. Clarence MiUs, of Richlands, has put up his new stables, and says he is going to bring in a large drove of horses this week. Mr. Ford ham, of Jones county, has made several trips to see one of our Onslow girls, and the supposi tion is that he will take her away in a few weeks. ’Earnest Huffman is paying his re spects to a girl down the road, and says he is going to take her up the road in a few days. Little .Page, of Kinston, was in Richlands with a large drove of hor ses last Saturday, and sold them cheap. T. F. Barbee, of Promise, went to Kinston on a business trip last week. He is preparing to build barns and cultivate a crop of tobacco this year. RICHI.AND IREMS. Fanners are busy preparing for tbeir new crop. Lovit Hines, of Kinston, spent a few days with us last week. Duncan Strange, of Tar Landing, passed through our village last week enroute to Kinston. Some of our farmers are going to try tobacco this year. James Pollock, of Kinston Sewing Machine Co., was 'in our section a few days ago on businesa. Arther Cox went up the road a few nights ago on business. S. W. Summed 11 filled his regular appointment 4th Sunday. We notice sheriff Hargett, on our streets Thursday. We learn by those that Were pres ent that on the 3d Sunday iq Janu uary, 1898, Council farm an was hap pily married to Miss Mittic Ellis. This wounds the heart of your scribe. Your correspondent went to hear the Mormons preach Sunday at Har dy's school house. B. D. Flowers has moved in Tren to and occupies Nfrs. Mallard’s res idence. Miss Connie Korncgay, who spent a week or two with friends in Tren ton, went to her new home in Dup lin last Monday. The Daily New Bemian is the name of a new daily, published in Newberne by G. W. and J. M Char lotte. It is Democratic in principle, its persona] and city news columns ably edited, and its typographical appearaccc very neat. We wish this paper much success. Rev. J. M. Benson preached a most interesting sermon last Sunday morning on the snbject of liberality, j taken from Prov. xi; 24, 25. Hej showed that the person who gavej liberally the material things of this j life would be rewarded here and in the world invisble. At the dose of the sermon the Conference collection was taken and nearly the entire sum was raised. WHY CQMPLMI? . t Whan that dollar ot ynare will buy more at my atom than aver before.
