The new building being erect ed adjoining the express office should be stopped before any f uther progress is made, The street at this point Is alto geather too narrow. The ex press office building should be torn away. Should the town al low this new building to be erect ed, the time will come when it will be necessary for the town to go to considerably expense in removing the same. This building can never be more than an eye-sore to the town and the owners of the lot should consider the matter and make some concessions. The town should pay to the owners the worth of the tot and not allow the building of any kind there. It could never be made profit able to the owners add would retard the growth of the town. The town authorities should take some action in regard to the mat ter at once. Brookford Items. i_j . \i Correspondent to tlie Democrat,.. Watch Brookford grow!

Well Mr. Editor and readers of the Democrat, it has been some time since you all have heard any thing from the famous Seven Springs. So I thought I would send in a little News from this neck of the county. The wheat crop is looking fine in this section. Fall oats as a general thing look fine. Spring chickens are growing ' fast, they will soon be ripe. Everybody are busy fixing for another crop but the rains we are having has kept them back some. The roads are in a dreadful mess at present, almost impass able. The people are hauling Ferti lizer and cross ties through the mud to beat the band. It looks ! like the people will have ferti lizer in spite of all can be said. The mule and cow brand is my choice among the different brands of fertilizers. I want you to stop and think of what you are nrssing. Wnv be drudg ing along from day to day while fortunes lie idle in Catawba county's soil. Some times it pays to forget but in this case it pays to remember. Boya go to work on the farm and quit hunting soft jobs in town, that is no good Remember we must make our living by the sweat of our brow. 1 A failure in crops will occur oc casionally to every farmer, even I the best with favorable Surround ings. It serves a good purpose, inculcates prudence and economy and excites enrgy and persever ance. These qualities will over come every thing. A farmers i motto should be toil and trust. Wishing the Democrat success and its many readers, I will close. A. S. R j Bees Laxative Cough Syrup is guar , an teed. This is because we know what it will do and want to convince you.
