The Catawba Industrial Associa

the time for holding 1 the fair this

'• Black John " "VVhitener was in
town last wevk, as he said, to sell
his cotton »»nd pay for his " fertili
zer.'' He explained that the pay
for the "fertilizer" was due to him
self. He had put leaves and trash
in his hog pen, m which he had only
one sow and her pigs, and made ma
nure enough for eight acres of land
and killed pork enough out of the
same pen to'feed the family. If all
our farmers would do the same they
would be better off.
A man stood on our streets last

His son, a lad appearantly ten years

he spent for drink what he should
have spent for bread for his wife

Hickory Is Coming:, Too.
The Durhai; Recorder sa3"s, "When
the last ceii.-a., was tnken, North
Carolina was a State without cities.
Wilmington now claims that title.
Raleigh expects to do so by 1890,
and if we are not mistaken Durham.
Charlotte. Asheville and Winston
will be close in tow."
We think Asheville is now the
third in population in the State, and
by 1800 we will not be surprised if
it is second. It was about sixth or
| seventh in 1880, the date of the
1 census.—Asheville C'itizen.
