Plain Tom, our Caslalia correspon dent asks the question" in his letter, ' Why do all the farmers of our sec tion haul their cotlon, buy their meat and horses and mules in Wilson?" The reason is obvious. , Our Wilson merchants pay more for cotton than any Uwn in this section, and sell their meat as cheap as it can! be purchased in the State. Further Wilso.n is one of the best stock markets in Eastern Carolina. All three of our llivery stab'e men are good buyers and sell at a close margin and always keep suitable stock on hand. Wi son is improving very rapidly, and the farmers of Frank lin and Nash may always be assured that the Wilson merchants will mnke it to their advantage to trade with them.

Tuesda7 right at about 12 o'clock when Ihi larger portion of our citizens were sofely wrapped in the arms of Morpheus, and the 3'ouiig peop'.e on youthful pleasures bent were dancing at the Briggs House, the alarm, of .fire was sounded, the fire bell was rung and,men and boys rushed pell-mell through the streets crying "fire fire" at the top of their voices! Soon the straets were crowded, and a general rush was made for the fire which proved to be the burning of Mr Hutchinson's stables. It seems that the stables were in a light blazs when the fire was dis covered by some young men who were coming from a parly so lie distance out of town on the Nash road, who first 8vt it. A soon as they saw the fire they gave the alarm which resulted in bringing together the larger portion of our male population but to what purpose? Wilson has no fire engine or no facilities for fight- ir? fire and if the stablea had have f been near the house it wjuld certainly have been burned also.
