Yesterday was the sale at auction OF very
handsome basket OF fresh flowers, sent by

TO be sold FOR the benefit of the proposed
Confederate soldiers home at Raleigh, ".
c.. by the Atlantic Hotel Company. Cap.

Durham, bought il at $40 and presented it
TO Miss McCreedy, of Columbia. 5. g., a
lady OF rare grace and beauty here.
MIR. William j. Brooks. a leading leaf
tobacconist of Danyille, with lis family
have spent a month at MOrehead City. All
are greatly improved in health and delight
ed with the SURF and sound-oGthIng, the
fishing ana the hotel.
Boating and fishing are INDUCED in here
safely by all. Children are especially safe
in this sport as well as i'll bathing in front
of the hotel.
About 400 guests are here, chiefly from
the South.
FINE CROP.
Tho tObacco-men present all express
themselves as believing that we shall har-
vest very fine crop Of tobacco in Viz
gina and North Carolina this year. Some
very fine samples ofnew curing were exhib-
tied by Mr.. T.. NJ. Pace, of Wilson, n. O.
All report old out OF the hands OF the
farmers.
Along the line of the Richmond and Dan
vile railroad your correspondent noticed
that heavy rains had done some damage TO
tobacco, but the greater good was done to
upland tobacco. No more is needed, but
would prove injurious TO the crop now.
MADE MONEY.
Tobacco-men have generally made money
this year, and are well equipped for the
large crop. At Durham, n. G.. some new
was selling at high prices, but warehouse
men and BUYERS were advising planters not
TO market so early unless compelled TO do
scarcely anything above medium 10 good
wrappers selling.
