He attempted to return and Tom Langley, Jackson's clerk and Puruell's son-in-law, pushed him back out of the door. Purnell fell, but picked himself up and again attempted to enter the saloon Langley pushed him down and in the fall the old man's knee was sadly crushed. It is donbtfnl as to his eyer walking again. A prelimi nary examination was held oy Mayor Green on Monday morning. Langley was discharged to await the action of the Grand Jnry. He has been under a justified bond for some time for selling liquor on Sun day, and a second bond was deem ed unnecessary. Stables Burned. At half past eight o'clock last Friday night the alarm of fire was given and tbe stables occupied by Mr. J. L. Wiggins, in tbe rear of M. Rountn e ft Go's., were found to be burning. Tbe alarm was given by Policeman Mayo, who bad just returned from Smitbfleld on the (Shno Fly' train and was going down Tarboro street. When discovered, the flames were leaping through the roof over tbe rear of tbe stables and it was impossible to save the building. AH tbe stock, buggies and harness was saved. The fire engine was playing a stream on the fire in 20 minutes from the time the alarm was sounded and saved other property in the neighborhood Mr. Wiggins lost some feed amoun ting to perhaps $100. Mr. A. S. Co pel and lost 25 barrels of corn. The building was an old affair and bad no insurance on it. It'e loss is a positive gain to tbe town as the space will be utilized for a prize house as will be seen by reference to another column.

"The City is Grow irg" Such is the verdict of an outsider Everybody here knows it. Rev. J. A. Speight, Associate Editor of tbe Biblical Recorder, is kind enough to say . ' Wilson is looking up, and Baptist stock is constantly rising. Rev. H. W. Battle has not been here but a short while but the progress has been of a very high order. The church building was never taxed as it is now to seat ihe great throngs that crowd around the ministry of this lovely Chris tian man and pulpit orator, and at night only those who are at tbe church early can obtain seats, lire Battle and bis people are planning to put up a larger and much netd ed church bouse, and to this end we say it with great credit to this people that the first effort toward the movemeut resulted in raising in subscriptions over five thousand dollars. Our people all over the State should lend some help to this truer pri - e, for a good house bas been needed here for years, and Bro. Battle is tbe mau to push it through. The city is growing, and everything seems to feel the iuin pulse and thrill of tbe movement to enlarge the borders of our Bap list Ziod. We did noo see many of our circle, but those that we met were hopeful of a better aud brigh ter dav in Wilson lor tbe "sect evQ eri where spoken against."

For some time the event bad been a fruitful theme of conversation. The con tracting parties are among the most popular of Wilson j eople and number their friend by the 8 cere. The church was a bower of bean ty, Loving and skilled hands bad decorated it very tastily. Aa arch had been erected over the pulpit proper. From the middle of the arch was suspended the initials W. and G. interwoven. The W. was constructed of evergreens and tbe G. of silver wheat and white flow ers, uver tne arch were piacen twenty-seven waxen tapers, all brightly burning. At the foot of tbe central aisle and in front of tbe pulpit a temple had been erected from the middle of whi( b was susn peuded a beautiful four.leaved clover Fortune's emblem cou structed of white flowers, The cen tre of the clover was a lovely calla lilly, and a white rose bud appear ed ou the tip of each leaf. The arch and temple were perfectly beautiful. Tne remainder ot tne cnurcu was not neglected. At 5 o clock the organ gracefully presided over by Mrs F A. Woodard pealed forth. To its accompaniment Miss Lizzie Porter sang a solo. Ser singiug is gloriously divine. This was followed by a trio by Miss Porter, Miss Lizzie Kirby, of Goldsboro and Mrs. Alex Qaalls, of Wilson, to whose 'mnsrc the bridesmaids, Misses Hennie Green and Nora Graves, Nettie El lis and Hattie Howard, Alice How ard and Mattie Lee, appeared through the windows at the side of the pulpit and marched down the aisle to the door. Then the inspirs ing strains of tbe wedding march broke forth and the ushers march ed up as follows; Messrs. E. B. Gay and A. 8. Copelaud, Doane Herring aud W. M. Carter, F. A. Davis and Dr E. K. Wrighr, and took their position on either side of the pulpit. They were followed by the groom, leaning on the arm of bis brohter, Mr. Walter F. Woodard, and imme diately afer by the bride, looking very modectly shy and lovely upon tbe arm of her Maid of Lienor. Miss Lizzie Barnes. They took their position iu the temple in front of Rev. R. P.

The attendants marched up from the door and arranged themselves in two Hues just behind the minis ter in the following order Misses Mattie Lee, of Goldsboro and Alice Howard, ot Tarboro; Messrs. R.

Then in his own impressive and peculiarly felicixus style Rev. K P. Pell pronouncec the words that made tbe happy couple man and wife. To the music of the grand marriage choral song, sung by those already mentioned and in addition, Messrs. J. M- Laath, Jno. F. Bru- tou and J, D. Bardin, the entire party marched out of the chutch and repaired to the residence of Mr. F. W. Barnes, where an elegant luncheon was served. The newly married couple took the 7 o'clock fast mail for Jacksonville and other Southern cities, amid the good wishes of the many friends' who had gathered at thoetatlou to bid them good he.

Ben is bard to beat on tobacco. Last year was bis maiden effort and he has been voted a success. Tbe Ringwood correspondent of tbe Rocky Monnt Argonaut says there will be fully as mncb and piobably more tobacco cultivated in that section this year as there was last. There ia one thing certain; yon cannot raise a crop of tobacco un less yon have plants. So, do not risk one bed, barn more. Better have plants to throw away than not enough.

It is reported that several large tobacco enterprises are being start ed in the Argo and Hilliardston sections This is what we need.

The reason is plain the projectors of tbe enterprise are wide awake lib eral minded basinet's men. They recognized the fact that to build and establish a market, they had to pay more than other markets for tobacco, and save tbe planters money id the charges for selling. We have done that very thing. We sold tobacco for belter figures and saved those who sold with us fully one third in Warehouse char gs. Facts and figures don.t lie. Bring your tobacco to Wilson where its merits are recognized, you will realize more than you can get else where. Ask those who have tried us.
