Y We had the pleasure of coming down from Raleigh Wednesday even ing with genial Capt. Dallas T. Ward, -his first trip on this road since Novem -ber 4th, It is "needless to say that we were glad to see him back and to grasp his hand. We think Capt. Ward must have felt that it was almost worth while to be sick, in order to find out how much he was beloved and ap preciated by all his acquaintances and friends. nature Those who have to burn off land anywhere in the vicinity of our village should attend to it at once. To be sure the burning of the last two years has made us comparatively safe on three sides but it will be well., to use great caution even now. Fire is a des- full of "quips and quirks and wanton riles. To those who do not care for unadorned, but "babble o'green fields,' we would say that we have never seen a place where the natural advantages Were better, or could be more easily '!.'''" ' ' .''- utilized for attractive landscape gar dening. Go in whatever direction you may from Southern Pines you will ilnd the land diversified with hill and valley, sunny slopes and winding s treams. We are familiar with the city of Newton, lying just outside, of. ! ...... f post on, and have long thought that, given the same amount of expenditure, equal taste, and half the time, South ern Pines could be made equally at tractive. Now this is a great deal to $ay , for we believe Newton (or the perate fiend in these pine woods, and ; kewtons, for itst parts are legion) to bo it is not best to give him any chance. ) nf tTlA wriest onltivRted snots anywhere, but we are the more ready o'say it because we have had recent Confirmation of our opinion by those better qualified to judge than we are. The editor of this paper doesn't want to repeat his last year's experience of moving, getting off his biggest edition of the Pine Knot and fighting fire all in the same day. A WORD WITH CRITICS. We get out of patience with . people who come here and descant over, the ugliness of the natural surroundings of Southern Pines. As a rule those critics have seen our village only in winter when the oak leaves and gras ses are brown and dry, and when, if ever, one may expect gray skies and rain clouds. To be sure the green of our great pines is a somber one, and their gnarled and twisted form is re pulsive to some people. For our part we find the deep richness of color more to our taste, more appropriate to the lugged strength of the trees than a gayer hue would be. But, of course, too much of sombre color is depressing, and for relief what can be better than A NEW ENTERPRISE. Mr. George W. Baker, formerly of Til ton, N. H. and B. A. Goodridge, editor and proprietor of the Pink Knot, have established a newspaper land j6b office at Jonesboro, in this county, "and will begin to publish (he Jonesboro Leader in about ten - . .v. days. Mr. Baker is a master of the j'art preservative" in all its branches, and the new firm are willing to guar antee to their patrons the best of work at the lowest price at which good work lau be afforded. The Leader will be a five column, eight page paper, the largest in Moore county,we would like to saj' the best, but know1 that "the proof of the pudding is in the eating," and so we will content ourselves with saying that. the editor does not pro pose to lose through it any of the rep utation he may have gained by means of the Pine Knot. Other things we i will wait, for our readers to sav. In the vivid green of the holly, set off irjerJto avoid the 'chance of misunder with berries of bricrhtest red!

Soon shall we gaze once more on that flowery procession which begins in February, with the tender opeful pink-and-white of the trailing arbutus and ends in November with the gentian's dauntless blue. In March the oaks will put on the brave ry of new attire garments of woven light, pale yellow, slowly depening in to vivid green; and on the slenderest, topmost spire of one of these domed houses of air will swing and sing our mocking bird, mad with merriment and j Observer. RICH ORE IN MOORE COUNTY. We have seen some very rich gold Ore from the property of Mr. W. B. "JValker, in Moore county. The mine is one of great promise and Mr. Walker proposes to develop it fully. He is a mining expert of considerable practical experience in California. Arizona and elsewhere, and is native pf Staunton, Va. He doubtless has, as he feeU sure he has, a bonanza in his Moore county property. Our peo ple do not fully realize their wealth of mineral resource. We believe this wealth has scarcely been touehed. If we gave more attention to developing it we would probably be richer among the peoples of the earth. A ck awl
