RALEIGH, n. C., January 26.-Last
night a fire at Henderson destroyed a
block Of small wooden buildings near the
depot The loss is estimated at $4,000.

vegetable markets. They were old and

all the Grange formerly attempted to
do; in fact even more-it will make
fight against the lien system and against
bad roads.
Work on the railway line from VIII
mington to Wrigbtsyille will begin in
ten days.
Newberne's new bank was formally
opened yesterday. The building is an
ornament TO the place.
The fertilizer dealcrs'say that they ex-
pect their sales will fall off considerably,
thanks to the return to homemade
manures Of all kinds. The development
of North Carolina's rich phosphate and
marl-beds will he the result of this.

factory Of phosphates from the rich beds

no-liquor question in this city nextJune.
The placing of stone pillars on the
boundary line between Virginia and

line is identical in some places with that

Colonel Eugene Morehead, of Dur
ham, who for many months has been
critically i'll, has low entirely recovered.
This news will give great pleasure to his
friends all over North Carolina.
