For Sale in New Bern by E W
Smaliwood. : ,
To The Farmert of North Carolina;
Our farmers have read the resolu
tions adopted by the Cotton Association
of New Orleans and also by our State
to reduce their acreage of cotton this
season. I believe the farmers will do
it. The moat important thing for our
cotton and tobacco growers to do is to
grow their supplies at home. ' .
It is quite evident that this is being
done by our farmers to a greater ex
tent in North Carolina each year.
- Our tobacco farmers reduced iEeir
acreage last year and tobacco sold much
higher in the fall of 1904 than in 1901
Diversified farming will pay our far
mers and every other interest.
If the June report of the government
shows that there has been no reduction
in acreage, every effort will be used to
put down the price of cotton by the
; speculator. ,
Yours very truly,
JOHN S. CDNINGHAM,
v President.
. Thankl Friends, Thanks!
- The committee in . charge of the
Shadow Party to be held at Thurman,
Friday night, desire to thank the peo
ple of New Bern for their generous do
nations and hearty'co-operations in the

Prof. M. F. O'Neil the musician, has
in his possession a violin which is un
doubtedly one of the oldest, if not the
oldest in the State. He traded a violin
which was of inferior value for it and
learned after securing it that it was a
genuine Guarneri, that it had been in
this state 115 years and had been made
probably 150 years ago or more. It has
a fine tone and after a little repair it
will produce as fine music as any In
strument as it has the quality of the
most celebrated violins. -
A spectacle of great interest is the ex
hibition given by an amusement con
cern showing how the battles of the
Boer war were conducted. Shows were
given at Wilmington and Goldsboro this
week. The train carrying this show
consisted of 30 cars. The soldiers tak
ing part m the sham battle were also
soldiers of the real Boer war and they
are retainers of their respective sides.
The people representing the English
side are a company of Scotch Highland'
ere. Prominent among the Boer sold
iers is Gen. Cronje who was one of the
leading commanders of the Boers and
was taken prisoner by the English. The
concern was a very popular feature at
the St Louis Exposition and is doing
big business on the road.
Work has been commenced on the re

An eminent German Scientist, Dr.
Wolfgang Weichart, has discovered a
srerm which iniected into the body of
poor, weary humanity, dissipates all
languor and makes even those who were

the slothful to activity. Its a great dis
covery and will no doubt prove highly
beneficial in those communities in which
policy will not allow the vagrancy law
to be enforced.
This day is Good Friday. It is ob
served by many with fasting and prayer
and where it is possible people suspend
business and give their sole attention
to religious rites and services.

place to enjoy a shad stew. There was
