Two services were conducted by

We saw our townsman, S. H.
Windley at Polloksville last Satur

factory in Trenton, would be shipped
to Trenton at once, and active work
begun to get- the factory in success
ful operation. J. 11. Bell is one of
the promotors of this enterprise,
which means success.
We noticed last week as we were
going to Kinston, the erection of a
school house in a swamp not far
from R. B. Dunn’s. A gentleman
remarked to us that the children
would havfe but little time to study
for keeping the yellow flies off. The
teacher when he wants to punish a
child has only to tie his hands and
let the flies bite. Worse than using
the rod.
When the steamer Howard ar

happened to be present and b; r
great exertions shoved the draw
back and let the steamer through.
CapL Jones informs us that he is
having trouble with th& bridge, and
somethhing must be done to remedy
the evil.. The keeper of the bridge
is paid by the county and he ought
to sec that the duties required are
faithfully performed.
