This would have seemed inored ble a few years atro, when most of the North Carolina cotton was shipped to Norfolk and New York where tbe price was always high er than it was in this State. This change is very significant and means a gret deal. Iu the first place it greatly ben efiisour farmers, who now have almost at their doors a better market tban they can find else where. Thus, at less expense and trouble and at a higher price. Ibey can now sell their cotton to the fac'ories here at home. It is now no longer necessary, as it wis formerly, for qui- farmers to haul their cotton to some large town for shipment to the North, paying heavy freights and sever al middlemen to haudle it. Tbey can now haul it to some cottou mill in the neighborhood and sell t direct without any extra ex- xpense. It is therefore to tbe best in terests of the cotton planter to ncourage the building of cotton mills all ovnr cur State, so as to have a Lome market ar.d stimu late tbe demaud for, tbeir cotton And of course every cotton mill creates a demand and makes a home market for all other pro- uce raised by tbe farmer.

The lady prospered, and paid the last dollar of the debt before the end of the five years.
