Over the Bead.
The editor was with a small party
who took a ran over the new rail-
road last week. The road is in ex-
condition and the cars
over it as smoothly as over an old
road. At every station passed
many people, all of whom seemed
rejoiced that the road had been
opened for traffic. At Scotland
Neck we met brother Hilliard of
that splendid paper, the Democrat,
who took pleasure in showing
around the town. It was our first
visit to Scotland Neck. We were
favorably impressed with the. town
and saw quite a number of new
buildings in course of construction.
An artesian well is being bored on
the principal street, and a site
was out to us upon which
preparations are making for the
building of a handsome hotel. It is
a live town. At Goose Nest, Hob-
good and Tillery were new buddings
going up and other signs of prosper-
in fact the road seems to have
enthused new life along route.
We did not see much of Weldon, as
it was raining and our lime was

affable as could be. He is as

Loss of Confidence.

and women, whose daily walk and
conversation docs not become a

Nothing is so much to be regretted
as this loss of confidence among the

The readers of the Advance will
possibly remember a dirty,

Wilson to

Joe Moore, and he busied himself
very considerably last year in
the of that section;
holding night meetings and
otherwise doing the ditty work of
the Radical party. As a reward for
his distinguished labor for the
grand old party of high moral ideas,

The people of Farmville are an
intelligent, cultivated people and
they let the Joseph two colors

office was kept by a most estimable
lady. This riled the gay and festive

postmaster at that place and his
so to speak.
Well, as a result of this planning, on
the 15th the office of Marlboro
was discontinued. The
office has been kept for thirty years,
and never has it been the
case that such a class of men were
placed in the that it was
necessary to discontinue post-
offices to force people to deal with
the postmaster any particular

The people of the Marlboro and

They do not propose

offices and mail it at first office

hardly succeed in this.
The department has
discontinued the mail route from
Greenville to Marlboro, the latter
place being the terminus cf
