Protect Your Frnlt Trees. -
Mr. Josephus Edwards gives the fol
lowing recipe for the protection of fruit
trees against worms and sap suckers:
Dissolve a box of couceutrateJ. lye in
about one gallon of water and wash the
body of the trees with it once per month
for the first three months in
the year. It will ' destroy deposits
of vorms in the bark. To protect peach
trees from borers pour boiling water
around the roots. The insect that de
posits the egg th it produces the worn!

prevent this lash a piece of sheep skin

Banking Capital for New Berne.
We are pleased to see a portion of our
business men turning their capital into
the channels of business other than sell
ing good son time. Before the war New
Berne had several banks with an aggre
gate capital of over half a million of
dollars, besides there were several in
dividuals who loaned money, and they
all did good business. The small amount
of banking capital employed here since
the war has been one great drawback to
the place and surrounding country. If
our land-owners could obtain money at
a lower rate of interest it would
enable them to develop their lands and
add to them permanent improvements.
We are often: told that our Northern
friends have plenty of money which
they would be glad to invest down here
if they knew it would be safe. The
trucking industry is steadily increasing
in this section and becoming more cer- there will be an improvement.

will surely come; for, like revolutions,
it never goes backward. Your doctors'
bills, young men, will be more than'

low with the disease. But these incor
rigible bachelors say that married men
are frequentlv troubled by cholera-
cholera infantum of .which they know
nothing. .

This fertilizer, if fertilizer it can be

fair satisfaction.
In passing through the country among
