We have heretofore been large I'M
porters IF many of the most common
necessarles of life-such rs gram, flour,
&c-but our farmers are beginning 10
pay ,nore attention to the dIversihca-

haye received from Salisbury by the
Carolina Central Railway several car>
loads Of hay equal IL Quality to any

mems of North Carolina hay, and
trust they may increase III ire
que-cy until the entire State can
pe supplied from the crop pro-
tuoed within her own bor'iers. The
Daics now at the depot in tins ETY. are
very neat aud compact, enabling 10. 900

consIgnments were made to Messrs.
