Halifax county, Va, where she was

A large force of hands are at work
building new track from the point
where the Durham & Henderson Rail-
road strikes the Raleigh & CASTOR just

with the track laid on the land lately
used by the last named company in
running their coaches down town.
which will enable the d. & H. train
to come all the way down ON its own
track.
MI. d. IL. Deal Oh Nasn county, was
here with lot OF tobacco last week which
he sold at good figures as usual. He
had between five and six hundred pounds

it bringing as much as 55. He sold at
Davis and says he never has cause to
regret standing by this indefatiga-
BILE young warehouseman. Mr.. Beal
has been MAKING tobacco on1y n few
years, but his success has been quite
re markable. Before he went into to-
bacco culture he would have sold his
land Tor $3.50 or $500 an acre, and now
IT could not be bought for $25. Farm
ing does pay WREN properly and intel
igently pursued.
