Our Reporter made a call on the deal
ers and found that during the year
896 there was sold in Dann 192 new
buggies.( ADqut one lourtn oi tnese
were manufactured here at onr buggy
hops. How ia Dune for buggies?
Mr H. B Pope, of this place,
i ft yesterday for Raleigh. He is an
applicant for an assistant doorkeeper
n the legislature. He has only one
arm and we would be pleased for him
ti get the place He goe well reo-
ommended but if this legislature does
ike the one of 1895 it will give the
place to a negro.

A Graphophone concert will be
given at the Town Hall on-. Friday
evening, January 15th, by the" Col
umbian Graphophone Company. This
nstrument reproduces songs, rela
tions and speeches loud enough to be
heard all over a large hall. Admis
sion 20 cents for adults, 10 cents for
children. All who go may. expect a
treat, . ' .
Irvin Culbretii, a respectable
young colored man of Stewart's Creek
township this county, took the train
here for Raleigh yesterday. He is a
candidate for an appointment by. the
legislature. His . petition read 'for
the position he might apply for." We
do not know what that position may
be. It is considered a doubtful quan
tity.
-Whilb strolling Sunday after
noon we passed over ia the Western
portion of the town, a part wo have
never visited before. We we're struck
with the beautiful lots in that portion
of town which are all laid off and
many of them sold. A large field of
twenty acres perfeotly level, laid off
in lots, presents quite a nice appear
ance.: Some building is already, be
ing done in that part of town and
more is likely to begin soon. This
promises to be the most beautiful part
of Dunn at some future day.
Remember you don't have to send
off to ha.ve your stationery printed
We are prepared to turn you out first-
class work at prices as low as you can
get it done anywhere. Dur ng ,1896
some of our merchants sent part of
their work off. We are not kicking
about this, as every man has a right
to patronize whoever he may choose,
but we do say it shows little appreci
ation of our efforts to bring trade to
Dunn, and we hope our friends wil
ao oeuer mis year. v nen you
spend your money with us you stand
a chance of receiving it back, bu
f- s
when you send it .off you never
expect to see, " it again. We ap-
, precis te your orders and hope to
- j receive them.
J. he ex confederate soldiers in
the Bentonsville seouon recently met
at the confederate cemetery and clean
ed ofl the graves and put the cemetery
in good condition. The next annual
meeting and re-union of the old sol
diers of Johnston county will be held
at the Bentonsville Monument some
time next summer. The Gjldsboro
Rifles wilt attend and a large crowd is
expected:
-Along with the new resolutions
ihe town aldermen could make a law
in regard 4o cattle and hogs running
at large on the streets. A law pro
hibiting hogs from running on the
streets now would work no hardship
on the people as there are not very
many here. As long as the hogs are
allowed on the streets we cannot have
a clean town. The street is no place
to raise hogs. Let us have no hogs
onvthe streets this year for an experi
ment and see how the paople like it.
Wk arealways glad to hear peo
ple speak well ofJ)unn, and when it
comes from a man who has travelled
in every state in the Union' we appre
ciate it more. A travelling man re
cently said, while here, that Dunn
did more business than any town in
the South according to its size. This
is saying much for our town but this
is not exagerating it in the least. We
are backed up on every sid by a
splendid farming country and a large
territory. Verily, Dunn is the best
town in the south. "
; -There is nothing else at this
presenttime so needful inDunii as
more dwellings. There is not a va
cant house in the town, and those who
would como to live with us are com
pelled to stay away. If we should
.... t .,
ever have a city we miisfc provide
dwellings for the people to live in.
One man who has a dwelling in course
of erection has already had four ap
plications for it. Another man writes,
"get me a large storehouse and a nice
dwelling." Let our citizens awaken
to the importance of more dwellings,
and begin at once. Dunn is one of
the best towns in the state and people
are finding it out. Give us more
dwellings.
