This adds much to tne looks .01 the iront room, besides giving 1 x 1 . . r euer opportunities ior transacting vthe increasing business of the Bank. The quiet of the town was dis turbed on last night week whe;n the tire alarm sounded. Of course a crowd was soon on the street,, but to rind any fire was an impossibility, and to this day no one knows where it was. All hands made, a dash up Green street, tut ' haulted at Mrs. King's corner and proceeded to .'"guess" where it was. People&should. alarm.

The streets are just as full of mud .as they have been for some lime past, and we are just as tax from the paved - streets as ever. It this can not be done why not have stepping stones placed at all the important crossings in town? This can be done with little cost and will certainly be a source of much conveniqe to 1 those who are . compelled to "navigate" during bad weather.' If, the step ping stones are riot obtainable let the proper authorities make a contract with some of our saw mills for sev eral hundred feet of plank.

No.' It is bad cooking, overeating ot indigestible stuff, and .other heahh-destrovinp-nabiis. J . o The remedy is an artificially diges ted food such as the Shaker Diges tive Cordial. Instead of irritating the already inflamed stomach the Cordial gives it a chance to rest by. nourishing the system itself and di gesting other food taken with it. So -flesh and strength return Is not the idea rational? The Cordial is palata- table and relieves immediately. . No momey risked to decide on its value. A ioc trial bottle does that.

Act sec ond: An interior of a'newsboys' lodg ing celler, Mott Street, New York City Act third: An East River dock, New York City, Brooklyn and her famous bridge illnminated in the distance.

The constantly increasing demand tor electric lights has lorced the city to' put in a larger engine. . As will be seen from a notice in another column the 90 horse power engine now in use is for sale. This engine is of the best . make and for a plant ol 600 lamps is plenty large. It can proba bly be bought at a bargain. The present needs of the town re quire an engine ol 150 horse power. This will enable the town to, sell lights to all th6se who may desire them, and in addition the service will be much mnre stisfu tory to all con sumers. , Heretofore the engine nas been so over loaded that a sixteen candle power lamp would give off not to exceed twelve candle power light. ,The True Keiueil.v. W. M. Repine, editor. Tiskilwa, lib, "Chief," says: "We won't keep house without Dr. Ming's New Dis covery for Consumption, Cnughs and Colds. Experimented with many others but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New.Dis covery. No . other remedy can take its place in our. home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guar anteed. It never fails to satisfy. Tiial bottles free at Hargrave's Drug Store.

Every one knows that it requires money to sup port a team, as there are many inci dental expenses during the season, bats, balls &c. : Between this date and Lent (Mar. 3rd) the boys propose to treat the people of Wilson to one of the best amateur minstrels they have ever witnessed. A meeting was held on Monday night when the participants were assigned their different parts. There is a large amount of talent in Wilson and onlv the best has been selected to take part in the perform ance. . The costnmes are gorgeous.

No market has ever begun under more favorable conditions than did the Wilson mar ket, the best class of buyers . were upon the first sale and a number of I these are still in business here. This alone is a good reccommenqation for our tobacco market These gentle men would not continue to buy here unless there were some good reasons. The past year has witnessed tl e erection of two of the largest build ings for handling tobacco in the State. We refer to those ot Richmond Maury and Briggs & Fleminjg. Both of th.e buildings have all the latest imjf ' ements for preparing the weed for : rt and can handle an enor mi r. t mount.

Not only is a great ' amount of tobacco bought on this market! but? he has buyers in all the neighboring towns where the golden weed is. handled; These are by no means all ive liavc.
