the measure of public spirit and
energy that characterize the busi

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

hustle and keep up your spirit,

masses feel and know that Golds

This is the spirit and it is the

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

to mix tnem tnorougniy witn a
fertilizer or dry ashes, and sow
once regularly over the bed, re
serving seed , enough to cross-sow
to promote regularity. 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

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. -

rate of some two . hundred and

strength of the soil and the quan

then follow with one horse turn

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

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.

SELECTION OF BOIL, PREPARATION
AND MANURING.
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.
