Only a few orchards on very high sandy land will produce much fruit. The early crop of strawberries is wiped out and other small fruits suffered severely. The office of John W.

Remember when in the midst of housecleaning and find that you need a new carpet or linoleum for your kitchen, 2 or 4 yards wide, or if you find your window shades in bad shape or your lace curtains worn out, or that you need a new rug, that you can buy all such goods from us far cheaper, and from a much better selection than anywhere in Plymouth. And it is certainly more satisfactory than selecting such goods from a catalogue, as no matter how well they show off on paper you cannot see the quality there, and often find yourself badly beaten when you get such goods as were selected from a catalogue. And don't buy from an installment plan agent, as in that case you certainly pay from two to four times as much as you do by purchasing from us.

Aaron Worth, the veteran Wesleyan Methodist preacher of Indiana, passed through this city Friday on bis way to Hamlet, where he has charge of the quarterly meeting Saturday and Sunday.

The facU have just been made known, it is said, through the health officer's report. A Sincere Compliment Gen. Booth of Salvation Army fame declares that the Americans are more reverent and more religious than the English and that the American newspapers, are better than those of the old country. And it must be remembered that the aged general did not vpice these views until he had returned to England, for which reason they mayjbe accounted sincere. Card cf Thzr&s.
