Mr. X. W. Craft, a nurseryman
0f considerable reputation in this
State, now has a reputation that is
to some oxtent world wide. He has
been awarded a gold medal at the
World's Fair, in Paris, for tho best
vines, and is also informed that his
apples have been given a prominent
place iu the exhibition. This is
quite a compliment to Mr. Craft,
aud indirectly to the old ' North
State. This goes to Bhow that we
Live just aa good climate and, coun
try generally U can be found in the
world. Hurrah for North Carolina !
Amateur Race.
Some of our people are having a
ood time enjoying horse-racing
before tho fair. Three of our county
horses are practicing for the fair,
aud do some fine running. " Black
Bess," Mr. J. S. Harris' riding nag,
can boast of blue blood in her veins,
aud has made quite a reputation as
a racer, though she has not been on
the track for five years or more.
"Texas Harry," Mr. Goodman's
horse, has lately made quite a name
for himself locally, and does some
nice running. "White Stockings"
is of Abdul Koree stock and belongs
to Mr. George Mieenhimer, i of
Springsville. Though he has never
been on the track before, he holds
bis own with the others very nicely.
Thus far the three have shared the
honors of victory about equally.

It is a busy ecene round at the
rock crusher at the "Big Spring."
Six hands are kept busy attending a
machine that eats rock as a hog does
corn, and seemingly with as much
relish. The daily output is from
twnty to twenty-four cubic yards,
Some idea of thi3 amount may be
had from the fact that a good two
horse load is about three-fourths of a
cubic yard. Two and one-half cents
per cubic foot is paid for the rocks.
which are hauled several miles. The
rock is around to such a fineness
that no rock exceeds an inch and a
half in thickness. With this ma
chine iu constant operation it is
only a question of time until our
streets will be in good condition.
We are iudebted to Mr. W. A.
Smith for his kindness in showing
the machine, and for information in
regard to it.
