THE DECEMBER 15, 1887; 11 i t t i t i. V r ? T T PARMER 6 IP 1 V -A T Bid'et thou the summer hasten, The fields and hillsides glisten With early snowflakes fallen, Midsummer golden rod. Would'st banish crimson clover, The blackbird and the plover,. : Whilst thou broad, fields reign over T With golden rod. Like sunshine is thy face; . . Modest and sweet thy grace; -Yet thou and all thy race Weird heralds are. Thou teirst of wind and cloud, Tempest and thunder loud. Dark forms of demons proud, Dread winter's sway. ! Delay still yet awhile; ' . f. 2 v Force not on us thy smile, So sweet, so full of guile ! Thou golden rod. Later we'll ,welcome thee. When from each shrub and tree No more comes forth the 'glee Vf ; " Of festive, song. , .; When summer skies grow pale, . When aurumn breezes wail, Then gladly thee we'll hail, Bright golden rod. Boston Pilot. Hillsboro Recorder : Lonnie Faucett killed two pigs 14 months old of the Red Jersey stock that weighed 620 lbs. Wilson ; Advance: , The , Nashville Courier says Mr. N. W; Boddie had a fiDe mule killed by a vicious bear. The mule was bitten in the side., , Laurinburg Exchange: The oyster supper given by the Farmers' Alliance last Wednesday night was largely at tended and generally enjoyed. . Greensboro North State: JimFearce sold a rifle at the court house door Monday which he said Christopher Columbus had hunted squirrels with on South Buffalo just after he arrived. It was knocked, off at $2.10. Ashboro i Courier: Tlie new -cotton mill at Randleman is now in full blast. It is one of the prettiest little mills in the State. Everything in it and about ; it is brand new and of the latest and most improved style. It is a full - grown daisy. H, City Falcon: We have often heard it said that living was cheaper here than most anywhere else, but we fnotice that in Stokes county butter is 12 1-2 to 15c, eggs 10c, and chickens 12 1-2 to 15c: but we can beat them '. when it comes to catfish and eels. i Twin City Daily: Rev. R. G. Pear : son, the great evangelist, has agreed to ; visit our city next September and hold a series of meetings. Our people may think it a lone: time off, but we learn t that we were fortunate to secure the promise of his services even then, as ms time is engaged up to that date. j Ashboro Courier : The hog record 2todate; B.B. Burns, two, 322 and 286, Sheriff Moffitt's 296, W. P. Wood's 292, Will Moring's 289. It was a close race between Messrs. Moffitt, Wood and Moring, their hogs being of the same age and penned at the same time. Their age was 1 5 months. Asheville Citizen : Capt Natt Atkin son brought us yesterday morning a piece of quartz thickly encrusted with gold. If the specimen were a fair in dication of the wealth of the mine, it would carry about'SHOjOOO to the ton. The specimen is from Madison county, picked up on the road side by a negro man, but the vein was not found, and it may be a mere waif. i Wilmington Review: We are told that a portion of Waccamaw township in Columbus county are infested with bears to such an extent as to cause great annoyance to the people. The ravages have been committed mainly hear here. Waccamaw River enters Green Swamp. They have carried off considerable quantities of stock and although the hunters have killed eleven bears in that vicinity within the last month, the depredations of these animals continue. Salisbury Truth : The cotton factory may now be considered an assured fact. The subscribers meet on Monday to organize. This enterprise will greatly help the town. It is much needed to encourage the investment of capital, to give employ to the poor and create and foster other enterprises. In short, it will place us in the fore-front of the live towns, ' give employment to many in need, and put us in the position we should long since have occupied as one of the most progressive towns in the State. ; X Greensboro Patriot : Colonel E. T. Beasley, a; thrifty farmer living- near Watkinsville, Stokes county, remarked a few days ago, that he had bought only fpur and one-half pounds of-meat and four bushels of corn in the last fifteen years, t Mr." Beasly has raised a family of several children. How many more of our farmers can say as much. The members of the powerful 0 7.": :g6Ldeno;kt Farmers' Alliance are making f great preparation , for the meeting of the Farmers' State'Convention at Greens boro on the 11 th f of January. - Lenoir Topic: Mr. Geo. M. Goforth, who is one of our most progressive farmers, is a great sweet potato raiser and is almost as successful as a Coffey in saving . his . crop. He . has lately built a underground potato house. He tunneled 30 feet under ground on a hillside and then built a side tunnel 30 feet long. In this warm under recep tacle he has placed his potatoes on the floor just so without any covering of any sort and they are keeping finely. During the late cold spell he says that the temperature in his tunnel was as high and warm as in. a close house. Wadesboro Intelligencer: A gentle man living a short distance from Lit tle Brown Creek now comes to the front with the startling proposition that partridges are an unfailing pre ventive of chills and fever. He as sures us that he knows not of a single man, or a single member of any family, who has been attacked with chills when partridges have entered liberally into the diet of the household. He has inquired, but can find noboddy who knows an exception to the ride. This is an item, and it will be received by the average sportsman as a piece of good news. Mt. Airy News: Two brothers of Lou Haynes, the murdered girl, ai rived in town last week from Bristol, East Tenn. They were much affected and seemed' determined to hunt up Tilley, the alleged murderer of their sister. The crime was so shocking and desperate that our people will not soon forget it. It seems almost incredible that such an awful deed could be com mitted by a human being. Since last week we learn from a reliable gentle man that the report of a pistol was heard at the place where the cremated, body was found just before the smoke was discovered. The same party also' stated that he saw Bob Leak Tilley running or walking very rapidly from the vicinity soon after the crime was committed. Statesville Landmark : J. A. Houpe, Esq., of Cool Spring township, raised this year six bales of cotton on seven acres of land, with the aid of $3.15 worth of commercial fertilizer. That's farming. Last Saturday Miss Daisey Barkley was in the room of her sister, Mrs. C. W. Boshamer, and had occasion to go into her trunk. Mr. Boshamer's pistol was hanging in one of the leather handles of the trunk, the muzzle up. As Miss Barkley low ered the trunk lid and turned away, the pistol dropped out. As it fell it was discharged and' the ball passed through the fleshy part of the young lady's right thigh at an upward angle, and was buried out of sight in the ceil ing. Just such an accident probably never happened before in the world and probably never will happen again. Durham Recovder : Durham will in a short while have a Bonded Ware house and Loan Association. These two enterprises will be worth a vast amount to our people. A full account will be given as soon as the companies are organized. Sorry to say it, .but there is one mean man in Durham county. He carried his poor old mother-in-law to the poor house, and made the county pay him for his team and a day's work. The fact becomes meaner when we say that she was too old to assume the aggressive and that her tongue was paralyzed. Mt. Pisgah is the oldest Baptist church in the New Hope valley, Chatham county, and should be dear to every Baptist in North Carolina. It used to stand about half a mile from where it does now, on the spot where Mr. John W. Beavers now resides. It was then known as Yate' MeetingHouse. Next April will make fifty-four years since Dr. Matthew T. Yates (the celebrated Missionary to China) joined the churcd here. There are but two members of the church now living who belonged to the church that Dr. M. T. Yates joined. Charlotte Chronicle : A good deal of North Carolina timber is now being shipped to England, Scotland and Ger many, three timber companies being engaged in . this business in Burke county alone. A new company com posed, of English capitaUsts, is . now putting in a plant along the line of the Western North Carolina Railroad, near Morganton, which will have a capacity, for sawinup 30,000 feetof lumber, per day. an&this extensive plant was furnished by . Brem & McDowell, of this city. These companies are ship ping immense quantities of lumber, of all the varieties known to the moun tain section, but the cargoes are prin cipally composed of oak, ' hickory, cherry and walnut. The timber, is abundant, and the speculators buy it cheap, in any quantities they may want. Mr. J. L.; Hooks, who lives near Stevens, . is undoubtedly one of the best farmers as well 'as most up right citizens in that section, He , raised 32 bales of cotton this year on 36 acres of land, which, for several .years were turned out; because worn out, and hence too. poor to be cultiva ted with any profit.- " ' The South Carolina Legislature has. passed a bill providing for the erection of a home for her disable Confederate soldiers. This is what the legislature of North. Carolina has been asked to do. If it had been done, we believe there would have been found little objection o it. Some farmers object to rolling the land after it has been thoroughly seeded and harrowed, for fear it will pack the soil too closely for the best growth and development of the crop. If those who think that rolling will in any way injure a crop will try the ex periment on a field of grain by rolling part of it and leaving the rest as light as possible, we think that next year they will roll the entire field.
