Mr.. Lane, who is well known in this
city, is making every preparation for the
speedy construction of the wooden factory
At Raleigh, Of which we spoke some
weeks go. The people of the village
hsvs bought for him q small tract Of land,
and subscribed a sum for the erection OF
buildings. The machinery now here viii

establishment will begin operations in

Mr.. Thomas, the distributor of Bibles
snd tracts in this city and its vicinity, is
making great efforts to carry out the lib
ersl purposes Of the Memphis and Shelby
County Bible Society. He presented the
Phil Allin with a magnificent COPY OF the
Bible, and furnished one % each officer Of
the boat. Mr.. Thomas ami his assistants
have given away here and in adjacent
counties 2S4s Bibles in the last seven
months, sold SI58l worth, and have visit
ed and. supplied 1855 families, and find
the average Of distribution to be one in
i've and g half. Very evidently the Bible 4

There is an Italian in this city who
went into the peanut trade only a few
years ago, to which he soon added a small
stock of liquors. So admirably well did
the whisky and peanuts cOmmingle that
he did a slsshing business and grew rich.
Peanut selling is not ordinarily regarded
a very respectable svOCstiOn, but, like the
peanut crop, it pays, and is not more
profitable to the dealer than producer.
North Carolina and North Georgia farm
srs freight railways with peanuts. They
grow luXurtanJly in gardens about this
city, and N ght be probably produced on
adjacent farms.
"A man over in Chelsea, one of Alder

neck. Before he had gone very TAR the
bundle slipped, and he was strsngled to
Heath. What an awful lesson is taught !
BY the fate Of this unhappy man! Does I

upon the victim at the very mo
