Oxford Ford, May 27—During
the last freshet a very great
amount .of sand lodged m the
path of the ferry and on the ford,

on the ferry, a man started to
ford the river and came near
losing his life and the life of his
horse on account of the quick
sand. Will it be necessary to
sacrifice more lives at the Gxlord
Ford crossing befo.e our County
Commissioners will agree to
place a bridge at one of the most
irequently used crossings on the
Catawbe river?
We are informed that the
Boston snoals nerr Oxford Ford

reccolection of man. ~Mr. Pol
lard was first on the market, and
Mr. Bumgarner, Mr. W. L. Cline,
Mr. Ellis McComb, Mr. Miller and
others followed. Berries have
been of great size and fine fla
vor, and the market almost glut
ted.

within a stone's throw of each
other. They are those of Mr.
Bailey and Mr. Herbert Miller,
the later the station agent here,
who have bought from Judge]

The crops are suffering just
now for la;k of rain, oats, corn
and early potatoes especially.
There is a splendid stand of cot
ton wherever it got up before
the rain. It is pretty well all
planted, The prospect for wheat
is very bad because of rust, and
some farmers in lower Caldwell
are threatening to plow it up and
plant other crops. It had looked
well early in the year. The ex
treme dampness is largely re
sponsible.
