The recent improvements on the east side of Nash treet serves only to emphasize the uneven, delapidated condition of tiie walk on the west side. We. are informed that Mr Oettinger is Teady and willing to have the walk in front of his stores-repaired if the next two fronts are put in shape and we trust that his honor, the Mayor will wait upon Mr. John F. Bruton, in his capacity as administra tor of the estate of the late John T- Barnes, and see if it cannot be ar ranged. With a good walk from E R. Gays corner to Boykins, on the west and Mr. F. W. Barnes new walk on the east side Nash street will put on quite a festive appearance. Freights Looking Hp. . . . The is no better way to guage the actual state of trade than .. by the amount of freight which is moved by bur railroads. We are reliably in formed that freights are. looking up, and are getting right heavy. Fertilizers ere very light, during the early part of the season, but thatv too, is slowly but surely coming in. There will be less used this year than lasti but that argues welU We want our acreage reduced very materially. Intensive farming is. the ticket, " Alignment of S. K Tyson & Cn. Tyson's assignment on Monday was somewhat of a surprise to the community. 1 Every one knew that all branches of trade had been very much depressed by the backwarkness of Spring, but all thought that the worst had been passed, and a general improvement was in sight all around Mr. Tyson is a young man of energ and a good deal of business ability. He started up in business some time ago and steadily grew in favor as long as he remained on Nash street. About six months ago he found that his business was too much to be ac commodated at his Nash street stand, and therefore decided on a move to more commodious quarters. For a time his trade held up. but shortly after his move a number of circum stances made the grocery business less profitable and the general de pression seems to have given the finishing touches. We trust that .the. assignee, Mr. Win, Woodard, Jr , will be able to bring something out of the wreck. S pkiast Hues It has been said tiirti our north Carolina farmers could not raise large hogs, perhaps not, but Mr. Thomas Watson of Springhill Township, Wil son county has just killed a "good sized pig" 794 pounds dressed. The hams weichechSN pounds each and the sides were 11 inches thick. Mr Watson tells us that he got 300 pounds of lard from this porker.

A Oikm! as Hie H-Kt No Keanon Why' the S! k Mutual Should not do a ISig Dnsl- There appeared in the paper yes terday morning an advertisement of the newly chartered Southern Stock Mutual Insurance Company, of Greensboro, and attention is. in vited to its plaa and to the list ol its officers and directors. Fabu- ous.sums go out of North Carolina yearly for insurance and for other purposes money which should be kept at., home; but this statement would not' be w;oith a moments con sideration by a business man in con templating the claims ot a local in surance company unless somet such statements as this could be made about it. That the capital of this new company is Jiioo.ooo, sub scribed by twenty capitalists, each of who testify that he is worth not less than $25,000; that all profits except 10 per cent., which is set aside for a reserve fund, are divided among the pDlicy-holders; that policy-holders are non assessable. These features make the. com pany as good as tne best. It is a dangerous tning lor an in dividual or a newspaper to give ad vice to the public about matters in which money is involved; but the Observer, without the slightest reservation, gives its endorsement to the Southern Stock Mutual Insur ance Company.

Hurrah for Our CoiiiUMiineri! We are pleased to announce to our readers mat tfie coumy unn missioners decided on Monday last that the county would join the town in improving the sidewalk on the s'de of the Court house" square facing Nash street. Mr. F. W. Barnes has just completed a handsome pavement in front of his block of buildings, run ning from Tarboro .street to the county property. Now the county will complete the walk to Goldsboro street. This will give us a nice smoothe walk from the post office to Wootten& Stevens, corner of Spring street Lookout, boys, we will have it completed to the depot before next "A Had Kxttnple. We are grieved to see our worthy Mayor set such a bad example to the property owners of Wilson. ,The town is furnishing, the labor necessary to lay new sidewalks and only asks of the property owners that they furnish the bricks. In other towns ordinances have been passed compelling property owners, on lh j business blocks, to" not only furnish the material but also put it down. Now when our town meets its citi zens half way we think it only fair that the citizen on his part shall not take advantage of the . authorities. To ak the town to -patch up an oli walk is not, properly, within the or dinance, in such cases made and pro vided, and even if it were, then we claim -that his Honor should not be the one to avail himself of the privil edge, tor as St Paul said'If meat make my brother to offend , I will eat no flesh while the world standeth." Not that the act in itself is so very wrong but its influence upon others is to be taken into consideration. We must submit that it would have been mqch better if his honor had invested in the extra 200 brick.

The first at tempt was made on the window in the rear and next to the street, but after breaking the shutter slightly 'the parties transferred their attention to one in the rear of the dry goods de partment, through which they suc ceeded in fleeting an entrance. From the dry goods department they passed into the other room opening the money drawers and the drawers to the book-keeper's desk, from which some small change was ob tained. Mr. Hadley was unable to say what tiad been taken in the shape of goods, tut thinks he missed two pairs of she es. Mr. Riley's the ory that the robbers-.were acqiaintcd with the premises seems to be refuted by the circumstances attending the entry -at Hadley's, as it i evident that no one familiar with tiie store would attempt to enter a window that was boarded up on the inside, as the onefirst attacked was at 'Mr. Hadley's.
