We made a BUSINESS visit to Milton, N.
G., last week, and were somewhat surpris-
ed ut the business progress of the town.
Another Tobacco Warehouse had just
been openedon large and more accommo-
dating SCALE, by MessIs. w. b. Ellison, S.
A. Ellison, VIM. r. Morris, Esaid tobeone
Of the largest buyers Of Tobacco In Rich
mond, and n gentleman ofanlple ineans.)
4 VIM. r. Salmon, all Of Richmond, and
noted 1'obacconists These men COM
mand unlimited capital are heavy buy
ers and do not stand on trifies when To-
bacco they want Is thrown in market
The fine prices paid in this market visit
ed as it isby other buyers from abroad, J
caused such d rushing Of the weed intothe
Milton market that one Warehouse could
not furnish adequate accommodation, and
the above gentlemen have had that large
and capaeious building at the foot OF Lib
ertv street and known as "Liberty Ware
house, elegantly fitted up and itnow of
fers the amplcst accommodation to Plan
ters. Wagons unload under the roof of the
building, and planters can camp in the
Warehouse where they are sheltered from
=.
bad weather and protected from outside
annoyances. Arrangements are making
to unload half dozen wagons at one time,
thus relieving planters Of impatience in
waiting TO be unlcaded, and we can assure
those who take their Tobacco there that
they will receive every attention and pock-
ct as much cash for their Tobacco as they
would do in any other market
Tobacco was rolling in freely and prices
ruled high as to grades. There were no
fancy wrappers ON marlse., when we were
present, but Mr.. John w. Mccain had a
large lot of red tbut coarse) Tobacco that
brought s5l.50 per cwt. 1t was bought by
Me.srs. S. A. ellison & Co.
Messrs. VIM. u. Smith & Co. are going
into thcnanufacturing business on large
basis and several other establishments are
In contemplation. Messrs. W. u. Ellison,
brother 4 Co. and one or two other firms,
are pricing extensively and keep the mum
crous Batteatts on Dan River running dai-
ly to Barksdale's. The Messrs. Ellison
have Coopcring shop attached which
turns out Fourteen hogsheads per day, all
Of which are Immediately prized and ship
ped. Theenterprizing proprietors Of Lib
erty Warehouse speak Of putting Steam
er on the Dan, and II Mr.. W. d. Ellison
has made up his mind to this effect Il nil
be done, for he Is one ofthe most thorough
go-ahead men of the age, and never fail
TO accomplish his resolves.
Yes, the old town is arousing from hel
Rip Van Wrinkle slumbers. And when
we tell tile Planters Of Orange, Granville
Person, Caswell and Alainancc that they
can do as well with their Tobacco in til,
Milton Market as any 1tiler, they may be
lieye what we say. Indeed a amanufactur
er in Orange who lately visited the differ
ent markets, tells us that common grades
in his opinion, sell higher in Milton thar
elsewhere.
In calling the attention of North Carroll
na planters to "a North Carolina market we
do not seek to disparage In the least tli'
markets outside Of the State. We insist,
however, ON our planters giving their owl
home market fair trial, and we poini
them to Liberty Warehouse and invit,
