The Fayetteville Presby

The farmers had a favora
ble week for work last week
and all of them took advantage
of it. Many of them are plant
ing this week..
The young tobacco plants
are throwing nicely,, We learn,
and many have plants nearly
large enough to transplant.
The roads are getting in
fair condition now but are still
bad-in some places, the lumber
wagons keeping them cut up.
About forty carpenters are
employed in the town, and the
ring of the saw and hammer
can be heard in every direction.
Several of our citizens who
are adept with the rod and line
have been to .Rhodes' pond fish
in this week: and brought back
some nice strings of perch.
Several of the dwellings in
town need repainting. It would
add greatly to the protection of
the building as well as to its
appearance.
The work on the houses of
Messrs. Stephens, Privett, Hol

pushed rapidly, and the houses
will soon be readv to be occu

you nothing to do this and may
cause you to reap a good reward.
You can't build up home en

need goods buy them from your
home merchants, and if the mer:
chants need stationery, which
they all need, give it to your
home paper.

i Visitors to our thriving
town are surprised to find that
hogs and cattle, are allowed to
roam the streets. No other
town in North Carolina so large
as Duna allows the hogs on the
streets. The warm season is
approaching and the health of
the town should be carefully"
looked aiter. '
The first ripe strawberry
we have seen here this year was
plucked from the garden of Mr
T. L. Gerald yesterday morn
. rni r 1
ing. ine nrss ot last season
was on AprilTith, just six days
earlier than this. Notwith
standing the exceptionally cold
spring the berry crop will only
be from five to ten days,later
than usual.
Some of the good people of
Dunn, During Dr. Brown's stay
in our town, had the Methodist
pastor fitted up with a pair of
glasses, bi-focals, in nice gold
frame, and sent him on his way
seeing things in clearer light
than heretofore. And he (the
pastor) takes this method of
expressing his appreciation of
the gift, and gratitude to- the
thoughtful givers.
Lumber is being put in
place for .the erection of a tool
factory building which Mr. Jno:
A. McKay will build this Sum
mer. The building will be two

completed it will be equipped
with the best improved machin

new enterprise started for Punn.
Let the good work go on, for
we have plenty of room for more
manufacturing enterprises.
Deputy Marshal A. F.
Surles and a posse of assistants
made a raid Monday night in
Johnston for illicit distilleries
but the dickey birds went in ad
vance of them and the juiceries
had 'been hurriedly removed.
They found two places where
stills had been operated. Depu
tv Collector J. B. Holland and
Deputy Surles made big seizures
of. whiskey at two registered dis
tilleries last week. One in Har?
nett, johnsonville township, the
other in Moore, near Cameron.
They got eighteen barrels of
whiskey at each making 36 bar
rels containing about 1500 gal
lons. Our townsman, Mr. W. A.
Watson has loaned us a copy of
the "Watchman of the South"
published on June 30th, 1842,
in Richmond, Va. The paper
at that time was edited by Wm.
S. Plumer in the interest of the
Presbyterian church It is of
six columns, four pages, and
was published weekly at the!
price of $3 per year. Among its;
news items we notice an attempt
on ihe life of Queen Victoria of
England by a young man named
John Francis ; the details of the
loss by a great fire in Hamburg,
Germany, in which 21,526 per
sons were left homeless ; the in
vention of an expanding ball by
Wm. Beal, of Boston, which
when discharged from a thirty

An Enjoyable Evening.-
It was the writer's pleasure,
in company with several young
adies and gentlemen, to attend
asocial gathering at th0 resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. V. L.
Stephens last Friday evening,
given in honor of Miss Eliza
beth Salisbury, who was the
guest of the family. It was in
deed an enjoyable occasion--the
companionship, conversation
and music was enough to cheer
the heart & cause one to imagine
or the time being, that he was
breathing the pure atmosphere
of heaven itself.
All present were highly en
tertained by Miss Salisbury's
excellent performance on the
piano. She is highly cultured
n music and touches the keys
with grace and ease. After sev
eral pleasant hours in the parlor
the1 guests were invited to the
dinning room where a Choice
supper was served. We shall
ever remember the evening as
one of the most pleasant in our
career.
Turned Boats Loose.
A voung
man named Willi
Smith was before Justices Jack
son and Taylor Saturday after
noon upon the charge of break
ing loose and turning adrift six
teen boats in Cape Fear river
on the night of March the 18th,
at Red Rock landing. The
boats belonged to. persons of the
neighborhood who use them in
fishing for shad and the loss of
the boats was a considerable
item to them, and of course their
wrath was kindled against the
perpetrator of the deed. Not
until last week did tliey learn
who the person was and the in
formation was given by a young
man Lynch who said he was at
the river with Smith when
Smith turned the boats loose,
and had not told it before be
cause Smith told him that if he
told on him he would kill him.
Smith acknowledged oh trial
that he was at the river that
night and helped Lynch4 and
another man break the boats
loose. Smith was adjudged
guilty but judgment is withheld
until Lynch and the other party
is tried, which will probably be
heard this week. Some of the
boats were found downthe river
but several have not been heard
from.
