"ad' Vfor particulars. x
The price of cotton has ad
vanced some, in the last week
and there has been a good deal
marketed here. It brought 5i
cents a pound yesterday. To
day the market is 5 but fancy
grades are bringing 5i.
Along with other things
rood is very cheap in our town.
Good oak wood, cut in two and
four feet lengths, is delivered
for. one dollar per cord. Pine
wood can be bought for 80 cents
per cord. At these prices all
can keep warm.
There is a demand here for
store houses. Some of our citi
zens who own some little store
houses here could make a splen
did investment by pulling the
wood building away and .put
ting in its place a nice brick
house. A brick building will
always rent for a good price.
We do not hear much talk
now about tobacco warehouses
for Dunn for next year. The
farmers are going to plant a
good deal of tobaceo through
this section next year, and if
the money made on I tobacco is
spent here we must have a mar
ket to handle the tobacco. Now
is the time to begin to work to
have the warehhouses built.

spending some time here with
Miss Marie Setszer, left last
Friday for Littleton, her home,
accompanied by her brother,
Mr. Marvin Newsome.
-For sometime some of the

love her. Her life was one of
beauty, mildness and Christ
like. Her place in the church,
in the community and in the
home is yacant. Hearts that
loved her are left broken and
bleeding but some day these
ciouds of sorrow and gloom will

Last Sundav auite a number of
-t m
our young men and Doys went
up to Benson on the up train,
and reports say that some of
them acted badly and disobeyed
the laws of the town up there.
Boys and young men, you
should be ashamed of such con
duct. Whiskey will not hurt
you if you don't take too much.
'Tis best to let it alone entirely.
We trust that those who acted
in a disorderly manner will
learn a lesson and not do so any
more.
- What might have been a
disastrous fire, had it not been
discovered when it was, occur
red here Sunday morning .
About six o'clock a bale of cot
on the cotton yard was discov
ered to be on fire. ' The alarm
was soon given and in a few
minutes the bale was put on a
truck and run out of the yard
where water was poured upon
it and the fire was extinguished.
The cotton belonged to Mr J. B.
Holland and was put in the
yard the evening before and
placed with another bale off to
one side from the other cotton.
The cause of the fire is un
known.. The bale was badly
injured.

May heaven richly sustain

not comedo you but you can go
to her. God help you to meet
her.

The Band.
The instruments for the Dunn
Brass Band arrived last Friday
evening and they are beauties.
The instruments were taken
out and the boys received their
first lesson that night under the
instruction of the band master,
Mr. Portis. The instruments
proved satisfactory and the boys
are learning rapidly. They
practice every other evening
and hope to be able to play very
well in a month.
Let us give them all the en
couragement we can and in the
near future we will have a
Brass Band that we will be
proud of and a credit to our
city.
