of Dunn passed. We learn
that E. F. Young's Banking
House will be succeeded by the
Merchants' and Farmers' Bank.
-Last week just after we got to
press our cylinder press got out
of hx and we failed to get it in
working order until next morn
ing, consequently our papers
on the Lillington route did not
go as usual on Thursday.
The bill to amend the char
ter of Dunn' has been ratified
and is now a law. We are not
informed as to the amendments
contained therein.
Let our farmers plant some
cotton and some tobacco. Two
crops is better than one. If
one fails, probably the other
will be a success. If both prove
a success why then the farmer
is in luck. Try tobacco on a
small scale at first and learn
how to handle it successfully
before launching out to deep.

better than cream or any
other food in existence. It
bears about the same rela

cream does to milk. If you
have had any experience
with other so-called "just as

will find that this is a fact.
The hypophosphites that are
combined with the cod-liver oil
give additional value to it because
they tone up the nervous system
and impart strength to the whole
