Mr.. Button Davis, VINO
lives near Yates Chapel, south
west Of the city has a very sick
child. Mr.. John Proctor, who
lives in the same vicinity has
been in bad health for some
time. He is one among the
oldest and best citizens in this
county.
Mr.. CT. w. ,Geanes opened a
grocery store ON Mangum street,
next door to auction house, not
long ago. He is a young man,
and ask for a share Of patronage
in this section. He gives strict
and personal attention to his
business-his goods will always
be found up to representation.
Durham warehousemen may
think they are getting their
share of the tobacco, buff they
will 20 to other markets they
will find much Of Durham's
trade scattered. Why is this?
Because the warehouesmen in
other markets appreciate their
town papers and advertise to the
farmers that they want TO sell
their tobacco.
Facts go TO show that Dur
ham is the place for the farmers
to sell their tobacco, and not
only that but to buy such things
as they need cheap. A farmer
brought his tobacco from
Wayne county last week to
Durham, sold it for a good
price, and bought q handsome
set of furniture from I. II.
Cheek & Son, and said he could
buy it cheaper here than in
Goldsboro.
