Facta recently brought oat in thia
city make it vary trident that a neat
Inspector ia a vary much needed afleer
here.
A practicing physician ia not nec
aaaary a man qualiAed to impact
meat, and more, a physician ia not
d ia posed to be always on the Job, and
be there whan needed, which ia every
day. Thia town needa a man who ia a
licensed inspector who can inspect
every animal before it ia dressed and
after it is dressed. As conditions are
now thia ia a moat convenient dump
ing ground for any animal that will
not pass inspection on other markets
where inspection ia rigid.
Aa we understand it a man qualified
to inspect meat ia licensod for the busi
ness, and to get one would cost the
tax payer* a neat little salary. But
the need ia evidently here.
health officer of the TVjwn is called in
to paaa on any suspected animal, but
there is no arrangement for the health
officer to see every animal before it
is dressed and after being dressed. He
sees only the suspected onea. And
so the subject is largely in the hands
at the man who does the butchering
which, to say the least, is a very crude
form of meat inspection that we have.
/ / Has Preached 30 Years.
Next Sunday marks the beginning
of the 30th year of Rev. George D.
Herman's ministry, and the public ia
most cordially incited to attend the
Sunday morning service. Parents are
urged to bring their entire family and
make it a great day in the worship of
God. Rev. Herman ia a forceful
speaker, he has lived his religion, and
has a concise and direct way of present
ing the great truths of the bible, and
an understanding of his themes that
comes only through much study and
fellowship with God. It is indeed
fitting that his members should make
this anniversary a great day in th»j
history of Central Methodist Church.

A Cow Worth $100.00
Rev. W. H. Atkinson, of Round
Peak, was in the city Wednesday and
tells us he has a cow that he will sell,
provided he can get his price, which is
an even round hundred dollars, no
more and no leas. The cow is near a
perfect animal, free from bad habits
etc. She is a cross between the short
horn and jersey stock, is eight years
old with a calf just three weeks old,
and she is now giving four and one
half gallons of milk each day. Com
pared with • cow that gives about
three quarts this cow is nearer worth
$200.00 than the price asked. >

the organization of I knitting or I

tha sad death of a cotton mill organi
sed hare aoma years ago, and alao tha
inability to aaeura a hosiery mill man
of experience to manage the enter

State'e successfull mill men wa> in
dued to coma hare and look the equ

000.00; f23.000.000 of this amount
subscribed, and paid in as called for
by the directors of the company.
The following local men subscribed the

the director* will be elected, by-laws
adopted, and doubtless the location of
the mill will be settled. The mill will
probably be called the SURRY HOS

already been shipped from Philadel

about January 1st. The mill will have
a dying and flnishing department, and
will operate a hundred or more ma
