Cotton is generally small, but our I friend and exhorter G. H. McRae, says thc corn crop iu the Dunbar sec? timi is very prosperous, as it is shoot ing and tasseling well. The health of the people still re mains fine, with one or two exceptions We noticed Mr. Bedford Carter on our slrects Monday, und he looked asl well ns ever, after being absent about [ two years in thc piney woods of south ern Florida. Wc are glad to receive J. S. Coving- j tou hack safe from Little River with a carload of fine beef cattle. Ernest] says he will butcher for awhile every other day, and his customers can get] fresh beef ofT of icc any time. . Mr. Trncy Hubbard waa on our| streets the.linn June exhibiting cotton blooms grown in his 90 acre field -a fact wc failed to notice in our Inst. Mr. Clarence Hubbard also has a very linc crop of corn, cotton, peaches) thank you Air. Hubbard, for the nice peaches. il; Sin (field, ii noted harness and shoe maker is still in the ring and can ho found on thc Calhoun brick corner -it is ol' no use lo say he is thc finest workman in tho south, for his patron age proves it. J Ernest Covington is not ouly no torious for selling tho coldest ice, hut he is thc lintiest base bnll player we have over had. Dan McCall is thc hardware man of j our town, and he seems to he more at tentive to business than over, and I guess bis trade is improving rapidly, as he tried to secure my services for thc full trade ; I told him I guess .Tttdgc could hold il down. July 7 1 !><):?. REPORTES. The contract for rebuilding the Clifton mills has been let to Thompson & Co. of Birmingham Ala.-the contractors who built ttye Olympia and the Buffalo mills. Kansas wauts7,000 mon lo help her gather her wheat crop. $2.50 per day and lodging. A fire in Greenville, N. C., on I Thursday destroyed $100,0001 worth of property. f FROM PROSPECT, Dear Mr. Editor, as I have not teen uhything from this section of ate, I will give you a few dots. Crops are improving, especially ?rn, and we have hopes there will bo a large crop yet. Cotton is still backward but is looking fine, v We have an enemy in this sec tion known as "general green," who is giving the farmers a lot of trouble at this time. Spring chickens are scarce, hut we nave plenty to feed the preach? ers and editor on, as there is no candidates. The health of thia community is very good. I have no marriages to report, but will Boon if the horse stays hitched at the same place. For fear of the waste basket I will stop with best wishes. UNCLE JEM. July 6, 1903.
