A farmer ent seed cotton to New Berne. ; it net him $2.80 per hundred, and paid thirteen cents for meat. Mr. Wahab was paying $3 per hundred for cctton and selling meat for twelve cents. I have known him tp pay forty cents for corn when it would only net thirty-four cents in New Berne. Such enterprising men are a great blessing to any commu nity. Hyde county is called up the country the "Grave Yard," but this is a great mistake, it is at this time probably the mot healthy county in the State. I forind very little sickness, and you know, Mr. Editor, that the U?de county men look as well as any visitors to this city, I mention Dr. Pat.. Simmons, J. M. Watson and E. L. Mann. Stock is also rfiiich attended to in Hyde. Mr- C: E. Wahab,at Sladeaville, i has one of the Roanoke colU that is a perfect beauty. He has a cow two years old last spring that haf a calf several months old, an i tlie cow is now larger than ordinary . I The peofile in Hyde are alive to the railroad matter of the present day. and are very glad that Mr. Best will, through the Midland North Carolina Railroad, eive them an odtlet for their corn.
