The war has not diminish ed the number of travelling salesmen to any perceptible ex tent and for this fact we do not think that it has affected busi ness to much extent. It has had a tendency so far to ad vance the, price of everything the farnier has to sell, also all that he has to buy.' So honors are about even. Cool beverages are selling rapidly these hot days.

The meeting at the Meth odist 'church closed Sunday night.' Our people highly en joyed the excellent sermons preached by Mr. Puckett, and while little interest was shown by the ungodly, it is hoped that some good seed has been sown that may yield its fruit in due season, under his preaching christians were comforted and strengthened. This is the way the latest song goes according to the Roanoke World : We don't want to buy at your place : we don't trade there any more. You'll be sorry when you see us going to some other store.

If every customer who sees your "ad" in the paper would mention the fact when he goes to trade you would be astonished, and would be con vinced that advertising pays. Hail storms have been quite frequent this spring and few sections have escaped them. A severe one passed west and south of here last Thursday afternoon which did consider able damage to crops, in some places. We learn that the cot ton crop on Mr. W. C. Jack son's farm in Sampson county was so badly injured that he ploughed up and, planted again. The hail stones were not very large ones but the ground was covered completely with them and Mr. Jackson gathered two wagon loads of them in a few minutes after the storm had passed. The storm began ! in Harnett some ten miles from here and reached on into Samp son doing much damage to crops in its path. Iliiclilen's Arnioa. Salve.

The closing exercises of Union Hill Academy, Sampson coun- ty, were held last Thursdav. and were witnessed by a large num- V ' m t oer oi people, all ot wliom were highly pleased with the splendid exercises. me programme consisted of recitations, decla mations, dialogues, etc, which were rendered in such a man ner as to reneer rrpr nr, nnnn both, pupil and teacher. Some of the selections are worthy of special mention, but space for 1 v ' oias. Only one failure occured dur- ing the day, and that one was a disappointment to all present, the speaker for the oc- ucision, iev. j . j. uougiass, oi Clinton, ianea to arrive, and consequently there was no ad dress, but as the programme was rather lengthy, the crowd was entertained all the while by the school. This closes one of the most prosperous sessions of the school, and is the last session Prof. Page will teach there: He has done a good work in that community, and the patrons of the school are highly pleased with him as a teacher, and re gret veiy much to give him up. The people of the community -! 1 , ' ,1 are wiue-awate to tne impor tance of a good school, and are liberal supporters of -the cause, and wim sucn ana interest as this we may hope even greater results for Union Hill Academy. If all our people throughout the country took the same interest in education that the good peo ple of Union Hill are taking, our people would soon be an en lightened and educated people. May Union Hill Academy ever live and continue the great work it has started and grow in power and popularity each year. Prof. A. J. Rosser, of Moore county, who has just completed the course at Trinity College, will succeed Prof. Page. He comes to the people of Union Hill highly recommended by Dr. Kilgo, and patrons from lifferent sections of the country. Let the people give him their learty support. A Narrow Escape.
