Stores New Industry Successfully Harnett OPENING SALE BROUGHT TOBACCO FROM SIX COUN TIES AND VERY SATISFACTORY PRICES WERE REALIZED. DUNN A YOUNG AND- WIDE AWAKE TOWN. " The following article appear ed in the Raleigh Post of Au gust 4th, which speaks well for our town and its new enter prise, ine attention of the people from far and near is be ing directed to Dunn. We take pleasure in giving the article as sent in by a special correspon dent. "The bright career of Dunn, a town as yet but a dozen years old, received fresh impetus yes terday when two warehouses for the sale of leaf tobacco were opened with results most grati fying to the projectors of the enterprise and pleasing to all our citizens. 41 Last spring two warehouse companies were organized, and during the summer commodi-r ous houses for the tobacco, busi ness were erected . . The Plan ters' is managed by Mr. Mor gan, of Chase City, Va., and the Star by Mr. Motley, of Dan ville. The amount of tobacco sold here was about evenly divided between the houses. "Tobacco was brought here yesterday from the following counties': Harnett, Johnston, Sampson, Cumberland, Duplin and Wayne. Dunn. is located within a few hundred yards of where Harnett, Johnston, Samp son and Cumberland join. - To- , ,w,as brought here from wi thi n six miles of 'bo tirSmi th -field and Ciinton, a distance from about 22 to 30 miles. A conservative estimate shows that about 2,000 people were present and were highly pleased with the prices. "The sale opened at 12 o'clock and continued till 4. It was not. thought by our peo ple that we would have over 25,000 pounds on the floors, but before 12 o'clock the floors in both warehouses were filled to overflowing. The pile of Mr. Josephus Jernigan sold for one dollar a pound. The next high est were from about 50 cents per pound down. The general average per pound was 8 cents. There was about seventy-five thousand pounds sold, making the amount paid out to the far mers yesterday, over " six thou sand " dollars. Tobacco men were here from Wilson, Dan ville, Winston, Chase City, Springhope, Rocky Mount and Smithfield. "Our people say that yesterday was the biggest day Dunn has ever had, and we think that this tobacco feature in our town will be the stepping stone to something greater. "Dunn has nearly doubled her population within the last two years. Dwelling houses cannot be erected fast enough to sup ply the demand. We know of a number of men doing business here while their families live in other towns on account of scarc ity of dwellings. "The building for the second bank for Dunn is 'now being erected which, whejn finished, will be an elegant structure of brick and will add greatly to the progress of Dunn. "Dunn can boast of as well equipped brass band as any city in the state. This fact can be proved by the people who were on the streets yesterday while the band was playing. . The membeis of the band were ta ken from the best musicial tal ent of our town and they have proven themselves worthy in every particular. "Mr. T. M. Hall, one of our largest lumber dealers, sold out his entire plant to Mr. Angier, who paid him $12,500 cash. It is thought to be almost a cer tainly now that he will extend his road direct from Angier, in upper Harnett, to Dunn.

A Mother Tells Kow She Saved Her Little Daueliters Life- I am the mother of eight chil dren and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. Last summer my f little daugh ter had the dysentery . in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was-highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to oe one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It , saved my little daughter's life. . I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellentmedieine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved, me a great deal of anx iety and my little daughter much : suffering. -Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, R.

Bobbed the Grave- A startling incident, of which Mi John Oliver of Philadel phia, was the subject, is nar rated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condi tion. My skin, was almost yel low, eyes sunked, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradual ly growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. -""Fortunately, a friend ad vised trying 'Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy and sur prise, the first bottle made a decided improvement.

News & Observer. 1m - They are talking of dreams, when the volunteer who was shot through the hip at San Juan spoke ur. "It is strange," said he, "how the real and the unreal are sometimes connected in dreams. I had an experience down at Tampa, while we were waiting for orders to go to Cuba, which was remarkable in its way. One night, after trying for several hours to get to sleep in my tent I went outside to see if there were a breath of fresh air to be had. Near the tent there was a rough bench, which had been built by some of the boys to serve as a table for card playing It was about three feet from the ground, and was just wide enough for a man to lie down on. "I walked over to the bench, and, stretching out on it, was soon asleep. I dreamed that I was standing in a Spanish camp surrounded by hundreds of ex cited Spaniards, who were in sisting that I be shot at once for a spy. I was perfectly cool and had a supreme indifierence about my fate.' They took me over to a . stake driven in the ground and tied me up to it. Then they wheeled up an enor mous cannon to within fifty feet of whera I stood and aimed it straight at me. I saw the gun ner seize the lanyard and look around at the officer in charge for the command to fire. Then I closed my eyes. The next moment there was a tremendous roar. "The cannon ball struck me squarely on the side of the right hip, and I flew up into the air I woke to find mvself on the- ground, where I had rolled from the bench. There was a sharp pain in my right hip, and Jook ing outTSto tlre"bpen sjlaclr" be yond the tents, I saw that the morning gun had just been fired The smoke was still hanging over the cannon. The pain in my hip was caused by it com ing in contact with a stake dri ven in the ground near the bench. "Several weeks later at San Juan I got a bullet in -my right hip where the cannon ball of the dream struck, and directly in the center of the bruise left by my forcible contact with the stake when I rolled of the bench."

Springer, of 1125 Howard st., Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden.; All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure : "It soon removed the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarce ly remember doing before.

Prince, a prize bulldog, be longing to W. A. Newell of Flushing, had full possession of the business part of that village yesterday . morning. He was seen coming down Main street towards the public park at about 10 :30 o,clock. the nurse girls, who were wheeling chil dren along the shady walks, took fright as they saw the dog snapping and snarling and frothing at the mouth. There was a pellmell rush of peram bulators for protected spots. One of the carriages was upset a youngster went rolling down an embankment and the nurse jumped up on a park bench and screamed. , The park-keeper mounted a statue of Neptune. When Prince reached the park the only persons still exposed were two boys. One of them jumped into a cart and the other climbed a tree. The boy in the cart pelted the dog with stones. Prince then ran from the park to the blacksmith shop of Ed ward McGahey on Broadway. The shop was filled with horses. The man nearest the door was trying a hot shoe on a horse's hoof. He threw the shoe at the dog, but it missed him and struck the leg of another horse. The dog made a drive for Charles Pask, who was driving a nail into a horse's hoof.- Pask dodged and Prince crashed into a window, breaking the glass. By this time two horses had broken loose. They and the workmen in the place were making for the doorway. From one side of the shop to the other rushed the dog. He jumped at a window and his paw was caught in a wire screen, so that he hung yelping, and helpless. Patrolman. Jam" es J. Walker came up on the run and killed him with a single shot. When the park keeper de scended , from the statue of Neptune he examined Prince at his leisure, and said the dog had been suffering from tooth ache. New York Sun.

Especially does he appreciate the lot of the farmer's boy and sympathize with him in his life and labors. His environments are not al ways what they should be, often not what they might bo with little effort and expendi ture. There are hardships not a few and struggles necessarily in a life on the farm, and so tho boy's lot should be made as easy as possible and he should bo encouraged and rewarded be yond what is usually his portion. Teach him to "love the farm rather than to despise it, learn him to know there is no voca tion or profession more honora ble and independent than that of the intelligent, successful farmer. ' , There are many ways in which this may bo done ways that readily suggest themselves to the thoughtful, considerate parent. Along Uiis lino wo commend the following from the Elizabeth City Fisherman and Farmer as worthy of acting upon : The boy on the farm Is not always to be envied. Ho is often obliged to work early and late, do the work of any other hand, and not receivo any rec ompense whatever. . This i9 plainly not right, and it is not surprising that so many leavo the farm at tho first opportuni ty in spije of father's or moth or's entreaties. The boy who is old enough to do more than the chores, is old enough to receive some re muneration in a money sense ; is old enough to be allowed gome independence of thought and action, and should have a chance. If you conscientiously feel that you .cannot pay Chimin money, give him an opportuni ty to earn something some oth er way. Let him have a small plot of ground to work for himself out side of the work he does for you, or let him raise poultry, and not only let him do these things but encourage him to earn a little money, which will be his own, which will tend to show him the value of money, and will raise in him ambitions and love of work. Encourage him and help him all you can. Do not grind him down to a mere existence of ser vitude. Iteraember that he has his rights even if he is your son ; you owe him a good chance even if you don't feel in clined to pay him. It is a debt which you owe him as a parent and for which there will be an accounting. Henderson 'Gold Leaf.

Four masked burglars forced their way into the lonely farm house of Dr. Joseph Parkinson some time during tho night, and after blindfolding, binding and gagging the inmates, who were all women, a careful search for valuables was made. The robbers secured govern ment bonds valued at $10'500 ; $75 in money and a lot of sil verware and jewelry. They then locked tho woman in an upstairs room and hastily drove away. There is no clew to their identify. r
