Proprietor Smithfeld's Big Livery Sta
That the horse is the most useful do
nestle animal, especially in country dis
tricts, no one will doubt, for in every
large trade centre supplying farm COM
munity we find the horse dealer always
one of the best business men. In Smith
field we have no exception to the rule,
and among the most successful houses
here we must give eminent mention to
the one conducted by Mr.. w. Il. Fuller.
The business was originally established
in 1873 by. Mr. ID. w. II.
Fuller, and passed to the hands
Of the present proprietor in
1891. Yhe building used is 100x300
feet in dimensions. A large business is
done in buying and selling horses, some
three hundred being disposed of an
nually. Mr.. Fuller has been associated
for eight years with Mr. Pole Gardner,
of Kingston, n. Y, in handling bugges
and wagons. and n larger stock is kept
on hand than can be found in any other
town in the State of its size. The firm
buy for cash, and can therefore sell to
the trade cheaper. Mr.. Gardner spends
about five months of the year in Smith
field. Mr.. Fuller has spent the greater
part of his life in the livery business,
and his friends are legion throughout
the State. He is a clever. obliging and
courteous gentleman, and all business
dealings with him will be found to be
more than satisfactory. Give him a
call. IA

A Successful Business Con-
Quoted by HustIing
Men,
DICK WINSTEAD.

This firm carries an elegant line of la
dies and mems furnishings, dress goods
shoes, hats, etc.
The firm is a new one, and was start
ed in 1898 by two native Wilsonians.
At that time the BUSINESSES only occu-
pied one-half of the present commod-
Gus quarters. The business in the last
wear has grown to such an extent that
the whole of the large salesroom on the
first floor is now occupied by this firm,
and the business is still growing.
These gentlemen by push, enterprise
and close attention to business have
placed themselves among the first ranks
of Wilson's business men. Messrs.
Blount and Winstead are clever and
courteous gentlemen, and undoubtedly
have the best wishes of the people of
Wilson.

AN EFFICIENT OFFICER
Is ]. T. Ellington the Popular
Sheriff of Johnston
County,
ABLE MANAGEMENT.
Has characterized his 0per.
atoms in the Affairs of
the County. One Of the
Bulwarks of John
ston's Citizenship

As an example worthy of emulation,
from whom many a young man can
learn lessons of self-relance and perse
verance, no one can be more fifty chosen
than the gentleman of whom this is 4
sketch. He has played an important part
in the development of his section. and is
held in the highest esteem i'll the social
and business world.
A brief sketch of his life will be Pc
rused with pleasure and profit by his
friends throughout the State and by the
punnc IN general. as IL evlaences the pos
sibilities of a man of merit, and viii
serve as a worthy example to the youth
of North Carolina.
Mr. Ellington did not need the pres
tige of ancestry to secure for himself his
present prominence, though he is not
lacking in that time honored possession
Ia noble ancestry. He was born in
Clayton, Johnston county, where he now
lives, in 1S43. His youth was passed
training, which was afterwards supple
mented by course at Wake Forest Col
lege. He served through the war, and
after this desperate struggle returned
to his native town where he has since
resided.
Personally, he is an affable and pleas
ant gentleman, and an excellent CONVEX
sationalist. An analysis of his charac-
ter shows a rare blending of those
traits and qualities which go to make
a true man. 1t has been Mr.. Ellington's
constant endeayor to perform the duties
of his position no matter how minute
in detail to the best of his ability, and
thus the workings of his office under his
administration have run smoothly. I'm
like many, he is easily approachable and
wins great many friends by the deep
interest he takes in the welfare of one
and all. True to himself and his people
he has made an officer whose record is
exceptionally praiseworthy. As an evil
dence of this it is only necessary to
state that he is now serving his sixth
consecutive term as Sheriff or Johnston
county. He has also represented his
county in the Legislature. His father
was a Baptist minister, and also raised
in Clayton.
Mr.. Ellington resides at Clayton, and
has a most interesting family. lie is
e, nsively engaged in agricultural pur-
stn.s, and takes great interest in de-
veloping the resources of his county.
He is a Democrat of Democrats, and al
ways helps to draw the strings in county
and State elections. He has probably
done as much as any other man in john
ston to make it the banner Democratic
county of the State. He is one of john
ston county's most esteemed and respect
ed men on account of his knowledge as
a business man, his heightened method of
dealing with his fellow-man and his per-
sonal worth.
