A new business has been open ed on the corner of Main and lona streets by Mr. FultonFlqyd, a brother of Messrs. Frank and Pat Floyd. A corn and trrist mill will be run in connection with the flour mill. The primary purpose in organizing the company is to en courage the people to raise wheat and make their bread at home. The members of the locol unions throughout the county have al ready pledged 800 acres in wheat for the coming year and this of course will be in addition to what will be planted by those who have not yet joined any union.

Krum The Fayettevillt- Index of July 21. The Washinetn correspondents of some of the North Carolina papers recently sent out dis- i patches giving the gossip at the ; national capital of North Caro- j linians concerning the probable candidates for the congressional j nomination in the sixth district! next year, and among them we ' notice the name of our county- man, lion. II. L. Cook, whose friends are understood to be. "backing"himfor the nomination i though Mr. Cook has made no public announcement of his inten tipns. He made an offective can vas of the district last year as presidential elector at his own expense, and rendered good ser vice to the party in all the coun ties. Many have since regarded him as a probable candidate, and many Democrats, it is learned, have expressed their determin ation to support him, believing that "the horse that pulls the plow should eat the fodder." The situation in the district is a rather interesting one, the rum ors being that nearly every coun ty will have a candidate. Should Mr. Cook actively enter the race, which we consid- practically certain, he will be a strong factor in the situa tion, and that he will stand a good chance of the nomination is the view that many well-in- brmed politicians take. Mr. Cook had the distinguished honor of beincr elected president of the lectoral College when it met in Raleitrh last January, the duties which he discharged with redit. His services to the party liave been zealous since young- manhood, and his friends believe the time has come when he should be rewarded not only for his own sake but for the party's welfare also. mfeil there s raw mm- m at nu EVEYS BEST The signal if security When buying flour always insist on getting a sack with this trade mark the surest sign of quality.
