THAT OLD 'ttpuSE;
Mr. Editor-I will wtito this limo about
(ho old ho uso. ' Thia hou'o ia built of
loss and oui led and wealherboardo J,- It
is tweuly fivo logs hieb-two story house
It stands on tho fouthwost sido of Sweat
Swamp, ono quarter of a mile from thc
Murchison cemetery. It has stood (hore
near Fcvcrily?fivo years : as tho tablet ou
tho chimney boars tho date cf March 28.
1828; and there never ha? been a dunce
or n daubing ball "n thia house, ?3 in ils
corly days il was used for a pl???' Of wor
?h'ip, and thc mau who built it would not
allow a dunce in it. lt was used by the
different denominations, mostly by thc
Baptist*. Rev. Joel Allen, Sr., preached
many sermona Ibero.
Of course, they had their parlies ihnio
i\s they do now, aud (hoy had dauern?;
but Ihey hod'1 a loamy barn uear lue
dwelling in whioh they danced.
As ia not>.often thc eise, there was a
tinnily of grand children raised at this
hou>oi alfo great grand child ron, and it
was hst occupied by another set of grand
children.
There have been several who have
boarded al this house and went lo school.
Sonic cf them have mado their mark as
meuchor^, s?nicas lawyers; some hive
tilled ofihes of trust. Iain told that Mr.
David McCall, tho father of Hon. D'. I)
MoColl. Sr, of your town, erne boarded
at thia house and went to school.
Tho man who built thu house has no
rmiidrch living. Ile lias two ncices, Mrs
Kiltie MoJIin of Clio, and Mrs Annie
Duncan of llobcson county, N. C.
When tins house was built, I am told
that tho nearest neighbora were from two
to five mtl03 off-imo o.i what ia now the
Don-dio plantation near the Douoho Bay.
L have been told that thia Hay came by
thc name from a man who lived near the
L?ay on tho plantation uow oweed bv Dr
Stackhousc, und who wis carried off in a

This ia thc best information I can ?et ai
to how it carno by the name, and as I
protnued you I would lin I on!, I write
ihisi and porlnos some one who knows
Lotter will correct it. The name of the
man waa Doauinic or Duniliuo. and it ia
supposed tint the nama was chin zed to
Donoho. I will not worry you further

An enterprising citizen asks us
io beg our post master lo establish
a mail box system in our town.
Timi i.-', have four or six metal
boxes placed in different plac?s (bi
llie convenience of the public. ?Say
one at the Hotel Marlboro corner;
ono at the oast. corner of public
square; one al corner of Darling-,

at thc Depot. He thinks that be
sides thc increased accommodation
to the public the revenue of thc

also-especially if one of ibo clerks
