A farmer in Wilson, N. c.,
bought "a couple ofcarloads Of guano
and ashes where two railroad trains
smashed mp, and distributed it
upon his farm. While unloading
the stuff, negro found fine cut
diamond worth 5000. He and his
friends naturally looked round the
fields for more, and up to date
twenty-eight diamonds have been
found, valued at 81, TOO. The fields
are covered with negroes night and
day and the superior court haa been
called on to decide on whom the
diamonds belong to. And yet some
people contend that farming is not
profitable.

There is as yet but little talking

and in harmony work for Democratic

Congressman G. 3. Patterson has
many friends here, and the report is

thought here that he will be chosen

In the matter of the Democratic

mainly for Major Stedman, though
Capt. Glenn has some strong friends.
1t is pointed out that Major Stedman
went to the war from here as one of
