chant and farmer OF Wake Forest
Capt. Jos. c.. Ellington, of Clay
ton; MIR Neill, of Harnett, ian old ac-
quaintance of Klan and League days.,
and Messrs Evans Tanner, and brother,
of Granville. The Messrs Tanner brought
an herd of 81 fine beef cattle on Wednes-
day, and sold them, within Is minutes
after entering the city, for the neat sum
of $500 cash. People generally consider
Northern sections produce excellent
reports splendid crops all along the route
from his home: near the Virginia line to
this city.-Capt. Ellington mentioned
a fact illustrative of the prosperity of the
period. He u nj two steam saw mills,
and is closely run. Two weeks ago some
little thing about an engine broke and
the part was sent to Messrs. Allen &
Cram. of Raleigh, for repair. Instead
Of coming back next. day, it is still here,

press of work and lack of workmen.
Meantime Capt. +. is over crowded with
orders.
MIR. Holding is an ex-Confederate, for
merly of the famous lst n. g. Regiment.
He mentions an incident of the wonder
full battle of Charlottesville, where
Jackson fell. AS our troops were charg-

passed closely by a Federal officer, sitting
up against a large tree with his watch In
his hand, seemingly watching its face.
But the man was stone dead and stiff !
He had been wounded the previous day !;
and, propping himself bolt-upright, with
CLASSY eyes fixed upon the flying fingers
of Time, had dropped into the darkness
of eternity, whence Time shall DE no
more
Capt. Fowler told. Holding he might as
well take the watch which was a costly
gold one; bat the latter had no desire to
tear it from the CHASTITY clutches Of the
dead man.
