Apple Ueft Sunday for his home in Reidsville. He ex pects to make Wilson his home next year. We will gladly extend him the hand of welcome. I ' ' r; The Baptist church is now in the midst of a revival, Mr. N. B. Brough ton, of Raleigh, conducting the servi ces. There are two services a day, one in the afternoon and;one at night. Mr. Bruce Cotton, ot Cottondale, was in town this week looking after a large lot of his choice Pitt county to bacoo. His fatner, Mr. R. R. Cot ton, is one of the' largest tobacco planters in the State. Briggs & McDaniel, Insurance Agents, have dissolved partnership. Each will, in futnre, conduct a fire of fice, Briggs occupying the old stand, and McDaniel opening an office over Mesdam Quarles & Manning. . Mess. A. Willingham, Jr., and F. H. Chamberlain, two of Goldsbo ro's hustling tobacco buyers, were in the city Sunday, talking the weed with our people. They seem to think that the Wilson market wonld soon be put down as the "Northern sub urb of Goldsboro." 1 1 A New Prize House. Messrs. Briggs & Fleming have bought the "Ben" Cobb lot," on the corner of Mill and South streets, and will build thereon the largest prize room in the State. It will be 50x1 80 feet, six stories high with a pitch of 13 feet clear between each floor. Another Cotton Mill. Two men, one from Connetticut and the other from this State, are in correspondence with parties in Wil son with a view to building a cotton mill here. It is to be hoped that one or both of them may be securejd as citizens of our town. With two more cotton mills added to our present la hor employing plants Wilson would, to use a slang expression be put "strictly in it." The town is bound to come. ' ; .. ": . After Thirty Tears. At the age of sixteen Frank Webb of Wilson - county, went to the front under Captain Scott . S tailings, who commanded what was originally call ed the Stantonsburg Guards after ward Company D-2d., N. C. Regi ment. Notwithstanding his yonth. Webb was a steady soldier, perform ing his own duties and in" addition thereto; standiug night guard in his fathers stead. He was a "front rank man in every battle up to that of Ghancellbrsville where, on the morn- ing nfter Jackson was wounded, he re ceived 'a?, wound from a minnie ball, which, striking just above the right knee. penetrated to the bone and up several inches toward the thigh. He was taken to Winders Hospital, at Richmond, where several attempts were made to extract the ball without success, finally the wound was par tially healed and Webb returned to his command, where he remained uri-. til Lee's surrender. It is needless to say that during all these thirty years that ball has kept his memory fresh, as piece after " piece of lead coated bone worked itself to the surface and out. Of late he had been so much troubled that he decided to have the doctors make -another attempt. This was done on Monday last with suc cess. Mr. Webb was in our office thirty minutes after the operation with the ball in his hand instead of buried in his thigh. Some of our old soldier friends will be able to appreciate the relief he now enjoys. Pierce Daans. i On Tuesday at one o'clock " Miss Minnie Deans and Mr. Ovid W. Pierce, of Weldon, were married in the M. E. Church, Rev. T. N. Ivey officiating. The church was beautiful with crysanthemuiris and potted plants Promptly at one Mrs. Woodson Ven aj?le played LohengrenV wedding march, and the ushers Messrs. Da vid. Woodard, W. S. Harriss, ' Jas. Lipscombe, Kenneth; Weaver 'and H. D. Allen (of Weldon). preceeding the bridal party entered. The maid of honor, Miss I Mattie Hadley, entered alone, looking very beautiful in a gown of blue boucle with a bou quet of La France roses in her hand. The bride, in a tailor made gown of green cloth, entered on the arm of her brother. She carried a bouquet of lillies of the valley. They were met at the chancel rail by the groom and best man, Mr. S. B. Pierce (brother of the groom), and in an impressive manner Mr. Ivey united them according to the simple but beautilul service of the church. The bride is a daughter of Mr. E. B. Deans, one of Wilson's best known citizens. A sunny charming dispo sition united with vivacious manners has made her justly beloved by a large circle of friends and admirers, to whom it is a source of much gratifica- non mat notning Dut good is ever spoken of Mr. Pierce, who is one of Weldon's rising young business men. They took the train South to spend the honey moon. Still Uustling. The fame of Wilson has spread abroad. It has now attracted the at attention of the people of Wimington, One of their leading merchants, Mr. B. F. Penny, has decided to open a branch in Wilson. He has rented the store next door to G. T. Stron ach's and will open a clothing and gent's furnishing establishment (see ad. on 8th page). We have known Mr. Penny, personally, for fifteen years and can assure our readers that what he says can be depended on. The store will be in charge of Mr. kE. L. Applewhite.

Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show pitched its tents on the Eastside flats Thursday, and all day the grounds were swarmed with eager spectators. Both afternoon and evening periorm- ances were largely attended, and all were well pleased with the exhibition. AH the different phases of frontier life were portrayed in a realistic and and thrilling manner, and for an exhi bition of its kind it is the best tha ever visited Warren. The daring riding and feats of horsemanship ex hibited by bands of Indians, cowboys and Mexicans, was of a high order, and filled the hearts of all with admi ration. The boomerang throwing by the Austrelian bush men was a novel feature and deserving of special com mendation, in short the entire per- iormance irom start to nnisn was ex cellent, and held the closest attention of theJarge audiences. Warren, Pa., Mirror. , : Brownley Bobbins. Mr. Calvin Brownley and Miss Blanch Robbins were united in the holy bonds of matrimony yesterday.
