The Salisbury Watchman says :
We understand that all train will
run from Paint Rock via Statesville
to Charlotte after the first of May,
instead of coming direct to Salis
bury, and that a mixed train will
run from hero to Statesville. A
merchant in this place, who deals
in provisions, was heard to say, this
week, that nearly all the country
bacon bought at his house this year
was bought from negroes. He sold
to a gentleman in Concord a very
nice lot of hams made by a darkey
of this county, an old plantation
servant of the late John Lyerly.
We are not informed whether this
old daikev patronizes the iruano
businr-s or not; but being of the
,'old issue" it is probable that he
does not.
