We like to give space for
the items from different sections
of the country but we want
them fresh. We leave off some
this week because they would
be two weeks old by the time
the paper reaches that com
munity. We would ask our
correspondents to send in items
so that they will reach us not
later. than Tuesday evening.
All of our people will regret

the noblest character, and we
congratulate the Greensboro
school in securing hin. " There
is now a good opening here for
some-young man.--

during that time won the hearts
of many, of the good people of
Dunn. He an able preaher
and ah eloquent speaker. The

Mr. J. H Kirkman, of Smith

and at Falcon this week.
Misses Etta Williford and
Mary Strickland, of near Spring
Branch, spent r nday night in
town.
Misses Jennie Belle and Hat
tie Culbreth, accompanied by
Miss Alice Radford, spent Fri
day night in town.
Miss Nellie Pearsall, who has
been visiting her sister, Mrs
R. M. Pearsall, left yesterday
for her home in Clinton.
The enterprising firm of
the Jno. A. McKay Manufac
turing Co., edge tool manufac
turers and founders, will soon
commence the erection of a large
two-story building .north of the
bank, in which they will put
the latest improved machinery
for making tools, including
steam hammers etc, and will
greatly enlarge the force and
out-put of t h e i r tools. The
building will cover about half
an acre of land.. They have not
yet decided whether they - will
use brick or wood 111 its con
struction. Mr J. E. West of Salisbury
got off; the train here last Friday
with tlie corpse of his little
grandson which died at his
h o m e 011 Thursday. He
was taking it to Newton Grove
to be buried. : The little fellow
was six months old and a son of
Dr. R. M. West- who is now
practicing medicine near Val-
d o.s t a, Ga. Its mother,: a
daughter of the late Dr Monk
of Newton Grove, died some j
three months ago. She had
been married only a few months
over a year.
That Dunn is moving forward
can be proven by the number of
new buildings going up and
still they -are not going up fast
enough for the demand. There
is not a vacant dwelling in the
town, all are occupied. We
have just seen a letter from a
firm in Kenly which wants a
store house and dwelling here.
Many letters of inquiry are re
ceived eyery month asking
about our .town, its business
etc, which shows that our thriv
ing towji is known abroad. A
town cannot be made without
people, and they must have
houses to live int Let us have
more dwellings. They are good
investments.
We now have a little box
tacked up at the post office; it
is true it is not very neat, but
we are simply making an ex
periment! and if it fulfills its
purpose we will put up a more
attractive one. The purpose of
the box is to make it convenient
for those having friends orrela
tives visiting them to write
their name on a little piece of
paper and drop it in. The box
has a lock - and key and no one
can see the contents. Any local
item will be greatly appreciated
by us. We are not supposed
to know everybody that visits
our town. it is not at all
"cheek-" for you to drop 3-our
name in the box but simply an
accommodation to us. Don't

A Utile 3Inn
Harnett county's Tom Thumb
with his father visited in town
Saturday and Sunday, the
guests of Mr. W. F. Pearson.
He is Mr. Malcom Lanier, of
May, Buckhorh township. Ho
is a gentlemanly little fellow
and looks to be a boy ; has a
bright countenance and is fairly
intelligent. In conversation
with the editor he said he was
twenty-one years old . in May
last and weighed Saturday even- j
ing, on some scales here in town,
58i pounds and did not think j
the scales were! correct as he
weighed 59 pounds iat home.
He has -always had pretty good
health and is hearty to; eat. He
is about 4 feet 2 inches tall
wears a number G hat and
number 1 shoes. He was dress
ed in a neat sack suit with long
pants, which he said he bought
ready-made in Raleigh which
fitted him very nicely! He is a
son of Mr. Bud Lanier who has
two other boys younger than
this one w h o are of average
stature, as are both father aiid
mother and the cause jof this one
being so small cannot be ac
counted for. Neither father
nor son had ever been! to Dunn
before and the little :man was
quite a, curiosity to the boys.
