CoTToN.-The store OF Messrs. Will
Hanson & Upchurch looked on Satur-
day evening like a Flower-Show. Long
rows of green cotton stalks were sus-
pended by strings from the ceiling, and
Capt. Williamson's ~buttoniere, always
the handsomest on the street, was gay
as "a big butterfly among the roses.'
A large assemblage of prominent far
mers were present as spectators;
though the specimens were not as nu-
merous, nor as fine, as might be at a
later period. Messrs. F. f. Weathers,
(of Neuse township, l.. M. Green. j.
