We see it stated that over 500 packages of robacco tmve been shipped from Battleboro this reason, and the bulk of the crop is jet untouched. Our growing town needs better accommodations at the depot in the way of a passenger reception room. Caunot our city fathers be induced to lay the matter before the Railroad authorities The growing demands of our tobacco market is for more room to handle the increased trade. If yon would have this trade increased, prepare in time to build suitable factories to handle the weed.

One of our live leaf dealers sold last week to a western manufacturer 109,000 pounds of Tobasco, price paid is a secret, but his genial smile when talking of it, shows he was not Mr Thos Renfrow, of this county delivered bis entire Grop of Tobac- co at the Wilson Warehouse.

Cal Barnes, the pioneer of tobacco growing in this county, who carried off two cars to one of the upper markets, has been helling right along on the warehouse floor here the pant week.

He is satis fied we have aa good a market as any of them, and tje saving in ex. penses and warehouse cnarges attending the shipping to other markets is a matter of considerable importance. E. M. Johnston, sheriff of Pender speaks in high terms of our market.

He has tried a good many of them and says Wilson is good enough for him. Last season was Maj. Johnston's first effort iu raising thejweed. He says be has the finest tobacco land In Eastern Carolina, and offers extra inducer ments for tobacco raisers. From what we have seen of his tobacco sold IB this market, we should say be has the land.

Maj. Robt, H. of Nash, was in town Monday aud visited the warehouse. He spoke encouragingly of our market, and prices being paid for tobacco, and pre dicts a great future for Wilson in the tobacco line. He also had a good word his own growing market, Rocky Mount.

He says the planters will very soon find out that our home markets will pay them more for their tobacco than they can possibly realize elsewhere He drew out of his pocket some sales to verify his 'statement. He takes his losses kindly, saying he had to pay for his schooling. Maj. Ricks is one of the level headed men that has done so much towards building up Rocky Mount. Come again, Major.

After remaining there six weeks, and traveling over the entire State, he turned his face towards the "Old North and has returned to Wilson to remain. We questioned him about Arkansas. Well, he said, yon may say the bottom land is rich and very fertile producing a bale of cotton to the acre without any fertilizer.

But jou have to pay 1 per day for labor and from 75 cents to $1,00 per hundred for picking it otrt. It requires from nineteen hundred to two housand pounds of seed cotton to make a six hundred pound bale. So when you count it all op yon will see that the difference in making a bale of cotton here in Wilson and in Arkansas is about 827. Now with that amount of money for I can make a bale of cotton on any acre of land in this county." ''Is it healthy we asked. "You may said be 'that it is not so claimed.

The inhabitants of Woodruff county will tell you that they make no such claim. If you keep out of the swamps, keep your feet cry. and let liquor alone, you may not get sick.

The hereditary scrofulous taint afflicts the large majority of people, while many others acquire diseases from impure air, improper food and wrong indulgences. Hence the imperative necessity for a re liable Dlood purifier like Hood's Sar-sa par ilia, which eradicates every impurity, and gives to the olood vitality and health. It cures scros fula, salt rheum, humors, boils, pirn pies, and all other affections caused by impurities or poisonons germs in the blood.

A Ground Hog Case. Monday of last week was ground hog day. Tradition has it that on the morning of the secoud day of February the ground hog emerges from his burrow, and takes a look arouud him, to assure himself of wbat' may be expected in the weather line. If his greundhogship shall see his shadow, say-that he at once betakes himself to his hole and there remaims for six wet-ks, for that much of horrid weather is sure to come. But, howover, if the day should be cloudy, the ground hog retires to his hole and prepares to come out and enjoy six weeks of sunshine and happiness.

Believers in "signs'' will remember that the sun shone bright and fair on Monday. If they are true, the ucritter' slyly crept out, saw his shauow, and scurried back to prepare for some more cold weather. It came. We concluded last week to wait and see how much of a prophet the ground hog was. We conclude from the weather of the past week, that heis a good one, and we are going to swear by him in the future, Gay has just nicejiine of Shoes.
