The county, from centre circumference, was shocked to day on hearing of the death of Mr. W. C. ChamDion. one of Polk's most prominent farmers and influential citizens, which ccuredat his home near Mill Spring this morning. Mr. Champion- was confined to his bed only a short tim, he having tnktn sick on the 21st of last month, but pneumonia did it's fatal work and today Mr. Champion "lies still in the pall of death Mr. Champion. or"BullyM as he wts familiarly called by his friends, was one ' of the most popular men in the county; a good farmer, a public spirited citizen, a christian gentleman and a man who stood for every thing that had a tendency to up lift hia fellow man and build up the county at large. That he will be sadly missed by the entire county is clearly illustrated by the expressions of sorrow that can be heard from every one who knew him. Mr. Champion was about 50 years old; tall, broad shouldered and one of the most handsome men in the county. He was a con sistent member of the Baptist cimrch, of Mill Spring, where fcewill be buried to-morrow, Friday. A wife and seven children sur vive and to them the News ex tends its heartfelt sympathy and by so domg, feels confident that it voices the sentiment of the en tire county. Mrs. J. H.

At the instance of my rent's I shall endeaver to write another letter to the News in order that my friends may become more thoroughly acquainted with the "Lanu of Flowers". While in St. Petersburg I noticed a very stricking and quaint custom which prevails in that little city, that of having a curfew. When the whistie blows, which is used instead of the old customary bell, all children un der the age of sixteen must be off of the streets. By having this custom many young children are kept out of temtations which assail thatn in cities. I think it would be an excellent idea if this custom were adopted by many of our towns in Noath Car olina. One morning, bright and early -sister and I boarded a street car to visit the veteran city on the west side ot the peninsular wmch is just 7 mile? broad. On- this trip we passed through beau tiful orange groves and truck firm ,w'i"ch presented a beauti ful picture, by their green fresh ness. WhVn we reached Bocho Siga Bay we took a boat for Passa grillo Island, which was indeed an ideal trip, the water being smooth und the air calm. Here we spent a most pleasant day. Passagrilla is about one mile in length and one quarter of a mile in width and is a noted winter re sort, r rem here we walked across to the Gulf of Mexico: where we supplied ourselves abundantly with sea-shells and other beauties of the main. When we returned to the boat landing we saw a man who had captured a porpoise which weighed 800 pounds, from which he intended to make oil. Another of my trips was made to Tampa, accompained by .my son Roy, where we attended the Stae Fair. While I enjoyed my ;elf vey much on this visit to the land Of perpetual summer, yet 1 tike the good old state of North Carolina better and am glad to be rack again among the beautiful mountains and pure air. ; - I wish it were possible for us to have better transortation faciii- able cope every re spect. I want to state hei, that the young ladies and men should write more to the News, letters of local interest are always read with pleasure by the people anc v'ho have gone out to ether stet t a. Do Lot wait for something horrible to happen but send in news of ail kinds often. Your frienc1, Mrs- J. ai. Lw"s Mill Spring, N. G. ler, II L McDowell, J E Walker,.

Mr. John F. Cunningham of Cunningham, N. Cn probably one of the largest tobacco growers in the world, says : ' u 1 have been using your fertilizer for twenty years. 1 have sold tobacco made by this fertilizer as high as 90c a lb. Virgini Carolina Fertilizer is used by the best tobacco fanners m the Tobacco States. It stands upon its merits. There is no better fertilizer made or used in the United States. I take great pleasure in recommending it aot only to the farmers of Virginia and North and South Carolina, but to all the tobacco growers in the Union."
