' We know no locality which for natural' advantages of water, shade andd breezes, surpasses Ellerbe Springs, 12 miles north of this town at. least this side of the mountains. Mr. Joseph Carter, mine host of the eating house, is hard to beatas a ca terer and just as accommodating as the season is long. lie deserves to be kept wake o'nights and busy all day tbrough the summer by a rush of visitors to the Springs. Another fact in connection with Ellerbe Springs is the fine effects of the wa ter in. a few well-marked cases of hay fever, and in trouble from that annoy ing disease, asthma, several cases of both being known which were greatly benefited. The late Prof. McAskill, an invalid when he came there from the Indian Territory, several years ago. recuperated wonderfully fast from severe pulmonary and asth matic trouble ; and he was accustom ed to say that he knew thofi-his life had been prolonged by a residence at the Ellerbe. His death, a few weeks a jo, was produced by severe cold re sulting in pneumonia. It will be re membered that a few capes of hav- fever, and asthma, were noted by The Rocket last summer as having been greatly relieved ; not that we claim absolutely a specific in the waters for these ailments, but the facts given were very significant. We hope to see sufferers m;i!.e a more thorough test of the matter this summer. , froui handsome, he is alwaysgood, U yoners;and tQ make thetaX ieVy out-lyin' picture.

The closing exercises of Ellerbe Spriugs Academy came off on Fri day last, 25th inst. As usual at this popular place, whenever a public gathering is announced, an immense crowd of the people assembled. It is usual tasee largo numbers at a political speaking or a picnic, but when . the annual school-closing comes, why, from far and dear they pour into that delightful grore until it is uncomfortable by reason of the multitude. We have been there be fore on such occasions, but rarely ever to see so many people put. Prof. T. C. Brooks had trained his scholars with great careas was evi denced hy the proficiency shown in declamation and dramatic exercises. Several prizes were awarded for ex ceptional merit in studies and in the art of declamation. The one great draw-back .was in the fact that all the exercises, including the literary addresses, were obliged to be listen ed to, not heard with any satisfac tion, in the open air, for want of a suitable hall. And, thus arranged, confusion and disorder cannot be avoided on any occasion-of the kind. The one painful fact of the day was that some persons were, under the influence of liquor, and by their con duct excited the mortification and disgust of the many pleasant people in attendance. Such conduct, on future occasions of the kind, should not be allowed to pass without prompt rebuke on the part of the good people of that section- Special Correspondence of The Rocket. . , This correspondentwas unable to u o te o r bbser ve 1 as t "week but is u p, and-out again. . r'A : The young people of our town welcome Miss Pa tty Ellerbe back to her former place in their society and friendly esteem. t :. . : " : : ; The county fence on the Robeson county line will be completed and" inspected next week, ready to be laid before the commissioners for ac ceptance or rejection.

This new enterprise will berun by water pow er, which is nearly ready for the fac tory building, of which a more ex tended report will be made in future. A Confederate survivois' associa tion is spoken of in our town, and we earnestly hope such an associa tion .nay be iound in every section of our glorious sunny South. It is due to the living as a pleasure and it is due to the fallen heroes and braves of ever' county that their names be record-. d in a memorial record to bo kept in the register's office at each county scat. And now the Radical pnrty must look to the much defeated "Oliver1' for its redemption, but "Oliver" can't redeem, li'e has never rcdeemei hintSfdf from the disgrace of the days of "llolden's Mclish," nor from the defeat inflicted u;xn him, by the Hon. A. M. Waddell; but ho will have the hold effrontery to ask North Carolinians to return to thodark days of an exhausted judiciary. Nortl Carolinians have always been com petent to take care of their State's interest and they will not be found in the toils of Radical disgrace when the votes are counted out in Novem ber. The ehtertainment given, on the 19th, at Mason's Cross Academy, at the close of Mr. L. M.

If board cfu!d be procured cheaper here there is no reason why these schools should uot equal any in the Carolinas, as our advantages in cli mate and health are both superior. 2L P o o Pure MEDICINES, CHEMI CALS, PATENT MEDI CINES, TRUSSES, SIIOUL DER BRACES, CANDIES, STATIONERY, PAPER, PENS, INK, Ac. -" '- FAINTS, OILS, VAE.vC NISIIES4 DYB-fTUFFBl 9 o o ' m 0 Junior Alumni Association.
