Mr J, Y Humphries ol Woodsdale
returned ftom Durham Saturday with j
a smile on his face where he had |
marketed his hogs fed on . the self- J
leeder this year He . wa :s pleased j
enough with this years results to .try I
the same - thing, another year. The j
man who bought these hogs was so.
well pleased with the lot that he
wanted more of them fed under sim- '
? Vlor conditions, for he never had re
ceived '.sudh a : nice bunch of. hogs.
These . hogs weighed more than Mr.
Humphries .'bought they would weigh,
a fact Which shows that hogs fed on
-olid, feeds all the time gives a harder
and a firmer flesh. Others who have
marketed their hogs at. the same
place, were well, pleased with the. -j*e

A Little History
Of Bethel Hill
! There are some people who speak
and write about Bethel Hill as if they
thought it had been brought into
civilization there over-night; to such .
we think they need a 'little informa
tion on its history. Just after the ?
cjvil war there were three tobacco
factories in operation near Bethel
Hill, the first of the Durham Bull
factory, yet stands at Bethel. Hill.
Bethel Hill section . in real estate
"is a combination of soils adapted to
most kinds of crops, the soils consist
ing of sand and many flint rocks,}
backed up on cither side by river _
bottoms. j
Just prior to the civil war it was
possessed with some very fine farm- !
?ers. of which one was Mr. Willie j
Beard, who was one of the best and)
most scientific farmers who ever lived j
in Person County. He owned not less
than ten thousand acres of land and
an unknown number of negroes
About the year 1858 the trustees of
Wake Forest College looked over
some parts of the state to locate a
place for a per para tory school, for
young men; they built it at Bethel
Hill, and put T. J. Horner, who was
said to be one of the best teachers
in the state, in charge of it. He had
a fine school, many young men from
different parts of the state attended,
until just after the civil war. when
the times had caused the school to
disband. Then came such teachers
as Joe Jordan. Bill Roland. Jim
Moore aftd others. One of. the last
and best to teach subscription school
was Mrs. Anna Harrison, who was
thorough in her teaching and work.
There are many fine men and wo
men who have lived and died at
Bethpl Hill whom we should not like
4o forget as beirtg the founders of its
better civilization, so you might per
chance to speak fc Bethel Hill, may
know that there are some others who
know its history just as well, and
don't attribute its little civilization to
]ny one benfactor. ? XYZ.
