A recent Wilson dispatch says: The
business development of this town dur
ing the past year has been astonishing.
The amount of tobacco sold here in the

in the to wn for rent, and the demand
for more dwelling houses keeps our
carpenters busy building. The year
1900 will mark great progress and pros
perity in the growth Of Wilson.
