Last Friday night the floor to the grocery
establishment OF Hobbs L. West gave away
precipitating everything into the cellar below
in confused lncomprehensible and almost
ruined state. As many Of our home reader,
know this firm is doing business on the cor.
ner of Main and First streets and that these
| gentlemen had been carrying large stock OF
queensware and glassware, much oft of extra
quality, which was placed upon shelving on the
south side of the room. When the floor went
down the shelving containing the ware above
mentioned went with it breaking several hun
dred dollars worth. The mishap was not dis
covered unit! morning, when the confused
mass of broken timber, groceries, meats, flour,
jars, boxes, queenswarc and glassware, pre-
sented anything but an encouraging spectacle
to our unfortunate friends. The floor timbers
were too light for the strain and weight incl
dent to heavy grocery trade, We believe a
fresh car load OF Hour had just been received
and stored the previous day. Messrs. Hobbs
& West have the heartiest sympathies of our
community. and Of our business mon, being,
as it Is SO well known, enterprising. honorable
and conscientious dealers, and upright citizens
and we hope they may be the recipients OF
such ALI increase in their trade as to make them
whole again in few months.

new county and new town, Mr.. Z. p. Barbour
and W. b. Shaw, by name, were down to our
city last week and made us call for the pur.
pose Of getting acquainted with their state
senator, and subscribing for the leading paper.
These gentlemen were from New York, and
were sanguine over the prospects Of their
county ard town. That they possess one OF
the finest grazing counties in the world
there is not the least doubt, but whether their
altitude and contguity to the Rocky mount
aims will not render their climate too dry for
the coarser cereals, remains to be proven,
which they intend doing this summer. Ham,

miles west OF and 1000 feet higher than Wich-

success.
