The town of Hester, n. c., on the Dur

months old and 4 we'll grown infant it is.

Granville's bright tobacco belt, and is
just half way between Durham and Hen
derson. There are already some four or
five stores here all doing we'll Besides
this there is in the town a carriage shop,
livery stables, &C., and last but not least
by any means, the Freeman House," a
frst-class country, hotel, (the writer pays
Freeman, Esq, who daily sings,

Freeman's Hotel and nothing to eat"
But this is a mistake, for he does feed
we'll. Capt. Wrenn says he does and who
knows better than railroad man? Did
you ever see one that was not hungry?
The D. & n. have built a neat and roomy
warehouse here, and Mr.. Pittard the clever
agent does all in his power for the comfort
and convenience of the patrons of the road.
These people need tobacco warehouse
and say they are going to have one, and
when live business man like John Carter
makes statement of this kind it means
something.
It is worth the cost of trip to Hester to
sit an hour and listen to Jno. Sledge, the
best of good fellows, and hear his yarns. 1
believe him to be truthful man but he
has had wonderful experience for one of
such tender years.

MANI went to picnic with party of
