T. mldeh, lttlng on the Staley farm near Frankllnton brought the first bale of new cotton to the Louis burg market on Tuesday. It was gin ned by the King Seed Co., and bought by Mr. C. T. Stokes for 26 1-2 cents a pound, and weighed 42f> pounds. A1 Is an Industrious ne?ro ' as will be seen from the following contributed by one of his white friends: A1 Joyner was born and reared on the cotton plantation of Henry Pearce, deed, now known as the Staley farm. The ldeae and instructions re ceived by him in his youth with re spect to growing cotton' was of the ~ beet type ? Mr. Henry Pearoe being re cognized as one of the leading cotton farmers of the State in his day. A1 applies himself studiously and dilig ently to this work and seems to be happiest when plowing a mule over long and wide stretches during thei hot summer days. He is always polite ) and respectful to every body and is never seen loafing over the streets-I am told that he la opposed to his team being driven on Sunday and he never drives one himself. He beleives that the Biblical injunction "Six days shalt thou work and the seventh shalt thou rest" applies as well to the ani mal as to man. Creditable mention Is cheerfully made of this colored man's qualities, habits and Industry and others of his race will do well to follow his ?iam< tie. o i SERVICES AT BAPTIST CHURCH We are requested to ttate that there ?will be servlcda at the Baptist church Sunday, September 18th, at the usual hoars both morning and evening.
