Something of the Changes Made in the Uit Several Yeats. A recent trip thrcugb Harnett reminded me again of the splendid logreae thwt county is making. 1 doubt if a nv county io the state tat ntwde greater atridea io material development and educa tional advancement in tbe last dozen yeara than liaruett. It bae Ueo but a few years sinew tbe time when there as oot n railroad io the ooubty excrpt the old C. F A. V. V. which crossed the ei jtreme weetern corner, and tbe A. C L , which creased the extreiur easteru. There was not a town io , the county uf any eixe Dunawat tbe principal town and it was but a village. Lilliogton, tie county seat, was composed of the old wood -' en court bouse and jail aud two or three small business booses There was oot a bridge aoroas the Caps Fear river, which cuts tbe oounty in halves. Tbs school Lous ee were cabina, ana ttie cuarcu houses little if an betUr. Now the oounty is dotted with creditable church bouses. I a timet of tbe districts there are modern school buildings. Ttsere are sv ersl eood lab schools in t&e county. Before tbe tlijods of Utt August, which deetroyed tbeiu, two steel bridgesepanned tbe Cape Fear (and these are being rebuilt ) Lillingtoo is a bustling, growing town, with banks, hotels, handsoiue brick bujldinsrs, isrgs and modero stores and baodsome residences. Tbe county has ons of the meet modern aod bandsoms court bous. es io the state and a modern jJ. Tbe town of Lillingtoo is growing sod spreading out. Duno is still tbs prii cicsl town, but it has become a msoufactoring ceo tare tor f uroiture especially audi it is a progressive end bustling town. Then there are several Ubr towns of note Buie's Creek.Duke, Coets, Angisr sod others. At Duke, wbere a few years ago was nothing but wild woods, is bow one of tbe largest cotton mills in tbs state snd a town of sevsrsl thousand population Two rail roads now trsvsrse the heart of tbe oounty - tbe Baleigb & boHh port and the Durham & Southern In all the progress the ooooty has made no institution has been a grsstsr factor than Buiet Crk Academy. Awsy back yonder in the dark days of 20 ysars ago Bv. J. A. Campbell drove dow-a bis stskes ia the woods and there be bas rsmainsd through tbe years, working for tbe uplift aod better ment of bis county and stata,s tend ing always for the highest and bsst in life. He prepared teachers who wsnt into evsry community in llsrnett oounty and taught, carry ing tbe Campbell spirit of prcgrees with them. Tbe ehildren and their parents caught the spirit Tbs people became dissatisfied with tbs old ordsr ot things and began to march up tbs bill of trogreee Af ter awhile John A. Mills pushed bis railroad from Italeigh through the oounty, and Col, John Angier built another across the oounty to tbe other direction Towns sprang up, and the country was electrified as it were with tbe spirit of ad vancement And Campbell is still pushing and laboring for better tbinge. fie has 400 or 500 students aow gath ered from over htlf a hundred counties and half adoxeo States. Good roads is aow Harnett's greateat material need. J. A. r hulmd mm & trust mn FAVETTEVILLE, N. C. Frank II. Stedmaa, Presidsnt C M. Hughes, Vies-President Jao. U. Talar, Vice I'rsiJnt J. V.
