A hne crop of onions have
been planted in our commdnitv
this year, and we are expecting
to have many good and healthy
hashes this time. So they are
like the negroes rabbit, good for
any thing, good to flavor beef
hash, chicken hash, rabbit hash,
mutton hash, and hog hash, and
they will turn you out a good
revenue and will prevent diseases
or we might term onions a sulen-

- DEATH OF A CHILD.
The little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Lea died at the home
children who may, be crying for
biscuit will have their wants
gratified and supplied at thresh
ing time.
Mrs. Rena Moore fell asleep in
death on the 7th, and she leaves
several grand children and one
living son, Alvis, to mourn her
loss.
Clifton Satterfield, little son of
Mr. U, L Satterfield, was recent
ly bitten in one of his eyes by a
dog which causes ljirn much
pain, but it is hoped that he will
soon recover his sight which is
r.ow dim, caused by the wound.

further state- that this church

f.iia t..i the church is true to its
obligations to thtir pastor.
I cannot give the particulars
in rtr-rd to the recent disaster
caused by fire near Darnell's
pond, moie than to say that
John Wagstaff, colored, and nine
others of his family were burned
to death in his' house which was
also burned down over them.
He lived on the land of Mr.
Robert Farley. Three of their
body s .were found whole, and
they found nothing but the bones
of the other seven. The last
twelve months seems- unlucky
for houses as I never heard of
so many which have been burned
down to ashes, and this should
remind us that we cannot be too
careful about fire and e.-pecially
matches, because one match con
tains enough fire if properly ap
plied to consume all in the world
in a short time.
Miss Lucy Rogers who lives
with her sister, Mrs. Obie Tin
gen near Durham, is now visit
ing relatives in this community,
all are glad to see Miss Rogers
back in our community.

In some quarters there has
been expressed dissatisfaction
over the appointment of Mr. J.

disgruntled have riot been able
to get together enough people to
