Wilson News Notes
Correspondence of the Messenger
Wilson, N. c., November


Wilson, N. c., November %.
The funeral of Mrs. Laurfne Barnes.
who died here Thursday afternoon, was
held yesterday from the Episcopal
church..
During the past week there has been
another deal in hotel circles here. A
syndicate, headed by MI. w. I. Can't
we'll, has purchased the Briggs hotel.
The consideration was SIS, 900. It's new
owners will spend about $40, 600 on i'm
provements, thus giving Wilson as
nice a hotel as any in eastern Carolina.
The hotel being built by Captain J. T.
Mrs. Foote, who will run it, hopes to
get h house in running order by the
18th of December.
There seems to be quite a difference
OF opinion among tobacco men here as
to how much the Wilson market will
sell during the year.. Up to the present,
including the sales for November, the
market will sell over IL, OOO, 900 pounds
These are about the same figures as
last year. Many prominent tobacco
people say hat the total sales for the
season will mount to IA, 000, 900 pounds,
while there are a few who say the total
will be $4,000, 600. At no time since Will
son has been a tobacco market have
prices been higher.
Quite a number of Wilson people
went to Norfolk today to witness the
foot ball game between the UNIVERSE
ties of North Carolina and Virginia.
Mr. Whitehead. the North Carolina
manager, is a Wilson man.
Mr.. J.. w. Thompson. who for the
past our years has been engineer for
the Maxwell Tobacco Company, has
resigned to take charge of the electric
light plant Of the town of Wilson.
