Good breaks at all the
warehouses yestesday.
Miss Ella Piper, a charming
young lady of Raleigh, is visit
ing relatives and friends in the
vicinity Of Rogers Store.
We received a pleasant call
from Mr.. nj. s. Allen, of Pros
pect Hill yesterday. He brought
tobacco and sold it at satisfac-
tory prices.
Rev. H. w. Battle, Of Will
son preached two excellent SER
mons at the First Baptist church
last Sunday. He has been call
cd 10 this church, and all trust
he will accept.
lit is ridiculous that some
people 60 TO church to hold long
whispered conversations, when
all outdoors is so large, and
people can talk there in q per-
fectly audible voice without dis
turbing anybody!
MIR. l.. NJ. Gray was in the
city Saturday. Mr.. Gray brought
SEINE fine turkeys to this mar
ket. The people living near
Rogers Store are like a number
OF others living elsewhere, they
are easily persuaded that Dur
ham is the best place to sell their
produce etc.
The people around Green's
Station, Granville county were
in a fiutter of excitement last
Wednesday, and il is no won
der; pretty Miss - Veazy gave
her heart and hand to Mr.. u.
Terrell, a popular young man
of Wake county. The ceremony
was performed at the residence
OF the brides mother by Rev.
Mr.. McDuffy.
BE sure and read what
Messrs. Henry, 0'Brien q Co.,
have 10 say in another column.
For the next sixty days they
will sell goods at the lowest
prices--the lowest that was ey-
er heard of-in order TO make
room for their large stock of
heavy and fancy groceries.
Now Is the time TO secure bar
gains.
1T is passing strange. The
Charleston News and Courier
says: The cotton mills Of South
Carolina spend a considerable
sum Of money every year for
wooden shuttles. The Carolina
persimmon and dogwood make
the very best shuttles, but our
people do not care TO 20 into
small industries, and the mill
men get their shuttles from the
north.
Mr.. George w. Watts, Of
Durham, last week wrote DR..
Rumple that he would erect one
Of the cottages Of the recently
burned Barium Springs orphan
age, not TO cost more than $5,-
000, IL the Reyents would build
the ether. The generous offer
was accepted and the cottages
will be built. Mr.. Watts Is q
whole-souled Christian, and this
generous donation for the care
Of the fatherless will stand as a
lasting monument to his mem
ory.-Salisbury Waterman.
up to within a few years
ago, cotton was the principle
crop in Wake county. About
the year 1875, IL was found out
that the sell was adapted 10 to-
bacco. In that year Mr.. Solo
mon Allen, who lives near
Rogers Store, was amsng the
first 20 find this out. His coal
cured tobacco raised that sea-
son, il Is said, compared favor.
ably with Person and Gran
villa's best. Since that time,
II IL our opinion the farmers
have realized more profit from
their tobacco than cotton.
Hen. A. II. Stephens never
smoked any but Durham tobac-
co during his life, and II Is said
that he was kept supplied with
the best. IL was Durham to-
bacco that surrounded the sol
dier's camp during the last war
with a wreath Of glory. II was
forwarded TO the army In con.
siderable quantities TO solace the
weary hours Of our half.famish-
Cd soldiers. And when Sher.
mans army lay near Durham,
his soldiers learned its use and
appreciated It's qualities, and Of
the close Of the war its fame was
waited from Maine 10 Texas.
Durham has always been O
great tobacco market; long be-
fore the war, when IL could
hardly be called q village is to.
