The progressiveness and pros perity of every town depend upon the enterprise of its business men, and a town goes forward. ags or retrogrades according to the measure of public spirit and energy that characterize the busi ness men of the community. It is because the business men of Goldsboro as a class are brim full of the elements that are essential to success that our city has gone steadily forward along its career of ever-increasing prosperity and has built up the reputation, far and near, as the best town in the State. This is no idle boast. It is a fact a fact that has gradually grown upon the reading and ob serving trading public, until from many miles, in all directions, and from all along the lines of the several railroads centering here, come daily and weekly hundreds and often thousands of traders, year in and year out, to mak-i purchases of needed supplies in all mcs of commerce, wholesale or retail, a? the case may be, for tho farm, the home, the workshop, the country store or the city trade. And. therefore, when you hear some unsophisticated prophet of the sotnbre class, who go about foreboding disaster, say that "Goldsboro has too many stores," and all that sort of thing, don't worry over ic or . curtail your own efforts for the general advance ment of the community, but just let the wind blow the gruesome prediction along, around the cor ner and away, and keep- up your hustle and keep up your spirit, and let the great incoming trading masses feel and know that Golds boro i 4 all aisrht. This is the spirit and it is the right spirit, too that character izes the new hardware establish ment that has recently opened up in this city, on West Centre street the Goldsboro Hardware Com pany, of which Messrs. Thos. L Sutton and W. E. Jenkins are at the head. These gentlemen have had long experience in all lines of hardware and are fully acquainted with the demands of the trade, and they have, consequently, an up-to-date hardware store, where the smallest or largest order can be equally supplied. The eye of an artist has planned and the hand of a eenius has arranged their magnificent display of stock, and from tho front door clean back to the oil room in the rear, and up stair, which you can reach by ele vator or on foot, the same splen did arrangement meets the eye and challenges admiration .

The to bacco seed is the smallest of all farm seeds, and consequently re quires a light covering. If the seed are sown before the 20th of February, the best way is to firm the surface of the bed by treading it over closely; but if sown later, sweep lightly over, with a brush or light rake. Then run surface drains through the bed, with in clination enough to pass off the water. To do this properly, run them off four or five feet apart with the foot, then open with a narrow grubbing-hoe to the depth ot three or four inches. Then trench deeply around the outside of the bed, to ward off surface water and prevent washing. Cover it with thin gauze clo:h, which you can remove from the bed as soon as the. plants are safe from frost and flies. The bed should be bordered with 1x12 plank, set about two inches in the ground, or straight logs, placed around the edge. Get pegs or reeds, smooth them and stick each end in the ground about four or five feet apart each way across the bed, letting them be about eight or ten inches above the ground. This is to keep the cloth from sagging and touching the plants. It is generally best to allow the cloth to stay on until about ten days before the plants are ready to be set out. By all means keep the grass and weeds out of the bed, as they are very injurious to the young plants. As soon as the plants become 'square," that is, have four leaves, you may begin to lorce tneir growth, if necessary. Nothing is better at this stage of their growth, than to apply dry stable manure, rubbed fine, and sowed over the bed applying at the rate of five bushels to every one hun dred square yards. Be sure to have it dry and fine, and apply when the plants are dry. When a shower of rain is com ing up is a gcd time to apply the fertilizer. TIME OF SOWING SEED. The time for sowing varies with the latitude, variety and season. Between the parallels of 35 and 4l0 degrees north latitude, com passing .the great tobacco belt, beds may be sown any time be tween the 1st of January and 10th of March, and the sooner the bet ter for bright grades, which ought to be planted early to ma ture, ripen and yellow, prepara tory to being cured early in the fall, when the most successful curings are usually made. Yel low tobacco ought to be planted out in May, but June planting us ually ,does best in heavy dark grades. The planter will consult his interest by sowing at a proper time to suit the grade he desires to raise. Plants set out after the 10th of July rarely pay for grow ing and handling, and if not plant ed by that time, it will be wise to plant the hills in peas, potatoes, or something else. - plow, three feet, three inches apart, and follow, drilling along a furrow a good fertilizer at the rate of some two . hundred and fifty to four hundred pounds per acre, according to the natural strength of the soil and the quan tity of manure previously applied; then follow with one horse turn ing plows, lapping four furrows on the fertilized trench, and when finished in this manner your lot is ready to be planted, when the beds have been "patted" with hoes, with "pats two feet ten inches apart, to mark points fori could get only temporary relief; the can afford re lief. S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) is an unfailing- - remedy for Rheumatism, and has cured the severest cases, where other remedies failed to reach the disease. Mr. Frank T. Rey nolds, of Dalton, Ga., was a sufferer from Rheumatism since his boyhood. He writes : "Ever since I was twelve years of ag-e I have suffered intensely with Muscular Rheumatism, which, at one time, kept me in bed for eighteen months, kinds of treatment, and many famous springs, but I took all visited setting the plants New ground, or old field that has grown up and been cut down, will require different preparation from old, smooth land. But on the former our best brights are raised. Any preparation that will put the soil in fine condition, clear of roots, tufts and trash, is all that is required. Experience teaches that if land is cut down two or three years previous to its being prepared for tobacco, it greatly facilitates the preparation and helps its fertility. Much of the vegetable material, both in and upon the soil rots, the roots break easily, and the soil is altogether lighter and finer. - . PLAITING. j a i I i." fi. reliel ln any thing until, S. S.

Tobacco plants thrive best in a deep mellow, loamy soil, rich or made so with fertilizers. The sub soil ought to be sufficiently por ous to permit the water falling on the surface to pass downward readily and not to accumulate to drown and stagnate. . If the old land is selected, it ought to be fallowed deep in the fall or early winter, that the frosts may; pulverize it. Turn under, if possible, some course farm manure, for its decay will greatly help to loosen the . soil, while furnishing food for the crop. As a course manure for yellow tobacco, nothing is better tnan wneat straw turned -- unaer in the fall and winter. The plants rarely fail to ripen yellow in color on land thus treated. In the early spring more ma nure may be applied, but it is better that this should come from the compost heap. Follow the application of the compost with one-horse turning plows, crossing the previous ploughing, turning not exceeding four or five inches deep, about .half the depth of the first ploughing. Then just before it is . time to plant, run , double shovel plows , oyer the lot, cross in a hill where on ofthese pests has taken up quarters, and ex pect it to live and grow.
