We regret to see Johnston County people leave the County, but some of theun will get out and try other sections of the Country, to live and do work or business. When they do leave us, we are always glad to hear of their prosperity. Most men who have gone from Johnston Coun ty have succeeded, we are glad to say. Mr. James W. Benson, who moved from Benson to Troy, N. C., some time ago, is well pleased with his location and is doing a fine business. He runs a drug store at Troy and has recently bought another drug store, as will be seen from the clip ping printed below, which is taken from The Troy Montgomerian: "J. W. Benson, our progressive druggist, has bought the Biscoe Drug Store and will operate it in connec tion with the Troy Drug Store. The new business will be known as Bis coe Pharmacy. Biscoe is a thriving town on the A. & A. Ry., noted for its excellent high school and good citizenship. It has one cotton fac tory, one chair factory and the A. & A. R. R. shops." Appointment. Rev. W. T. Hurst is expected to preach the second Sunday after noon in April at the residence of Mr. J. Shep Johnson, at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. C. G. Tem;le, of the Archer section, was in to see us Monday. Mr. Temple says that he heartily endorses the letter of Mr. VV. M. Sanders in the last issue of The Herald in regard to the recent road legislation for this county. He says that a great many people are very much disappointed over the action of our Representatives in failing to give the road legislation asked for by the mass meeting of the citizens of the county held here on Febru ary 6th. He says that if our Rep resentatives had given the oppor tunity to vote on the bond issue for roads, he is confident that three fourths of the people of his sec tion would have voted for it. Mr. J. P. Pittman, editor of the Dunn Guide, was in the city yester day. MORTGAGE SALE OF TOWN LOTS.
