All our merchants need could be raise for above purpose was I is a little more life and an advertise- adopted. Messrs. F. W. Barnes, ment well displayed. John F. Bruton and J. R. Uzzellwere appointed a committee to take sub scriptions and immediately raised two passenger service between and Atlanta later. Our boys playeoVa game of ball last week at Rocky Mount against a club from Spring Hope. They were licked by a score of 6 to 5. Another game was billed for yester- hundred and 6fty dolars with a day, but up to going to press we naa not heard the result. We respectfully call the attention of our readers to our advertising col umns. The merchants whose names appear there will make it to-the inter est of every customer to spend money with them. They are after trade. They want the world to know it. Our Lucama correspondent was in to see us yesterday and begged us to excuse him for missing fire this week. He said that he had been very un well and unable to writeit. He re ports that the crops around that live little town are the finest ever seen and that it is only a bad habit that is to blame for the grumbling of the farm ers. Silas Lucas has returned from his "trip to Virginia. He brings back the news that Wilson is being talked of as the coming town of the State. He heard reports of our big breaks all along the line. With tobacco to create the demand and Mr. Lucas to supply the bricks and building mate rial, there is no telling how far the town limits will be extended. The Wilson Military Academy will be open for the regular work of the session on Wednesday next, Sep tember 4th, and as the first two or three days will be devoted to the ex- toimination and clafesifi ration rvf cti- y dents, it is very desirable that all yvho can do so should be here on f Wednesday morning. We shall be glad if all, who can, will call at the Academy before the opening day and enroll their names and give us a list !of the studies which they wish to take up. J. W. Yerex. v I Killed on the Rail. A wnit man was found dead Mon Jay on the railroad near the sec Mion house about a mile south of Wilson. He had evidently been Killed by some passing train. He had on his person nothing by which ;he could be identified although there were a number of letters recommend ing him as a tobacco curer. He spent Saturday and Sunday at Luca- 1 and was making his way towards -n. The railroad company lim buried. promise of more from many of those present, on account of absent partners and friends. The chair then appoint ed Messrs. George D. Green, N. B. Herring and F. W. Barnes a commit tee to take charge of funds and ex pend same to the ; best advantage. Col. Bruton called attention to the fact that out of six tobacco ware 1 housemen, only one was present This fact was all the more noticeable when it is remembered that these , are the men who will be most directly benefitted by the improvement of our roads. It is but another instance of their lack of public spirit. When the stemmery was talked, they rose as a body and cried with a loud voice, "Yes! let us have it, it will be the making of the , market." They waited upon the citizens to secure funds to buy a site, they talked early, late and loud, and in fact did every thing but go down into their own pockets to help along the scheme that was to add many dollars to their annual income. They utterly refused to subscribe one cent until they found that those citizens that had come for ward with liberal donations were growing disgusted and about to give the whole thing up, then and not un til then did they agree to give a small sum toward the amount that re mained unsubscribed. The meeting then stood adjourned subject to the call of the chair. Exposition Rates.

They are strictly business men and know that to succeed means to advertise. Give them a call and be convinced.
