The farmers in this community are getting well on toward wind ing up corn planting for this season. ' ; We don't remember ever see ing so many strawberries as we have this year, but some people contend that it would not be ad visable to eat, as they say this will be time and cause for locust year, and their eggs are poison, which will be greatly deposited on vegetation. John Moore has ordered a rub ber-tired buggy and tbat may add greatly to him in the esti mation of the good ladies. Some are of the opinion that tobacco will be a good price again this year, a3 not more than half of a crop can be planted, owing the scarcity of plants. It has been reported that Jack Tapp, colored, owns a mule that lived through the entire winter with nothing to eat, except that it browsed around on twigs, and now the mule grazes on grass and Tapp plows with the animal.

However, we are will ing for Mr. Dunn to have all the hawks, provided that will pro long the lives of our chickens. Roper.

Luther Oakley, Claud and Era Long, from thisjeommunity, vis ited Miss Ruth Duncan near Lcasburg, Saturday and Sunday. They reDorted having a nice time. I'ts very strange that some of our farmers go to market "wide awake" tand come back so sound asleep that their horses pass by home and stop at another house. Miss Mollie Duncan came home Friday evening. Church conference was held at Oak Grove Saturday evening. Quite a small crowd present "JayBird." you are entirely mistaken about "Ceffo" locust tree being eaten up. It looks as well and stands as erect as ever. Evidently you haven't seen it inre vour horse came so near eating it down, but I feed my horse well before hitching him to the tree.

The Durham light and Power company in other words the Durham gas plant has changed hands. It is now owned, so re port has it, by a New York gas concern.
