A do*eu eggs are good for 25 cents at present, but even at this price, we have never known as few to be brought to maiket at this season of the year. Just how many canidates will b? in the field next fall for the various county offices cannot now be said, hut present indications are that "the woods will l>e full of 'em." We hear that at leant two Fort Milliaus will be in the race. Mr. Lou A. Harris, manager of the "'Company Store," who has been in ill health for several months, is now receiving medical treatment at St. Peter's Hospital in Charlotte. His brother, Mr. Robt. Harris, went to Charlotte Sunday to spend the day with h ni. Persons who were appointed to receive suliscripti 'iiH for the Hamp ton Monument Fund are requested to forward the funds in hand to Col.

Our m?-rchants have laid in larger stocks than ever before, and, with the great care exercised in buying, feel confident that no one can go away and say they could not be suited in a present. That the Catawba Power Company is tearing the completion of its plant, large numbers of its employees are said to be leaving the works and bunting places elsewhere. A big power plant is in course of construction near Carlisle, 8. C., and a number of peo pie left here recently to work at at that place. One of The Times fa- me; friends has during the past week replenished the editor's wood pile with a cord of good wood. As our friend has not called for his money, we take it that he wishes the price credited on his subscription, but we would like to have the gentleman's name in order to place the credit where it properly belongs. a HOL] MILI "' 1 wmmmm I The citizen* oT tori Mill seem lo have awakened to I lie tieeesnity | of more dwelling houses, and at J present there are quite a nuntlier j of new builditii^H loiiiiu; up in f. <wn.
