Young and other gentle men will build have perfected an organization and are ready to receive bids for the erection of the building which will be known as the "Star Tobacco Warehouse." They have pur chased a lot near the railroad w;est of the Free Will church. The Planter's Warehouse Com pany will erect its building on the corner near Gerald s stables. Both houses will be of large dimensions and built after the most improved plans. People and Their Movement. Dr. J. F. McKay, of Dickin son, was in town yesterday. Mr. H. T.

We learn that there will be an effort made to have the Gen eral Assembl- enact a law whereby the people of Dunn may vote on the question of establishing a Dispensary here. The Dispensary system seems to be popular and to save time and trouble we do not see why the legislature could not enact a general law to allow any town, township, or county to establish one by holding elections, as is done b' local option. A great expense to the State would be saved by the enactment of a general law regulating the es tablishing and conducting of dispensaries. In all cases the people should decide by a pop ular vote. . ' In another column will .be found the programme of the Musical and Dramatic Enter tainment to be given at the Town Hall on Friday night, February 10th. A glance at the programme is sufficient to convince every one of the rare treat that is in store for all who attend. It is given for the bene fit of the Brass Band and is composed entirely of home tal ent. The entertainment is un der the direction of Prof. J. W. Portis, who has had consider able experience in stage work, having traveled for several years with professionals. It promises to surpass any thing of the kind ever given in Dunn. Don't forget the date, and don't fail to attend. Read the programme. The Wilmington Star cor respondent from Dunn draws a veiy rosy picture of a million dollar development, cotton mills in numbers, and several other fancy things about Smiley's Falls. We regret to say that these are largely in the air as yet. We learn from Mr. John W. Hays, the Petersburg engi neer, who has been examining the falls, that no syndicate whatever is behind him, but that he and one other party hope to organize sufficient capital to develop the falls if the necessa ry property can be secured. There are many difficulties in the way, he states, and it is by no means certain that the pur pose can be accomplished. Tobacco Stems. Burning land for tobacco plants should be done during .1 i o tne montn ot .February or early part of March. Land should be of dark, smooth, moist na ture, should be cleaned! off nice ly and well burned, after which dig up and pulverize nicely ; taking out all roots and trash ; then sow uniformly about nine ty pounds of fertilizer to the hundred square yards ; chop in well, and rake smooth. Sow a very full tablespoon of seed, mixed well in half a bucket of dry sand or ashes. Then pack the land well with a roller or tramp with feet, leaving it smooth ; cut s m a 1 1 trench around edge of bed, and coyer with tobacco cloth about eight inches from ground, should be so as to exclude the cold air. The Durham correspondent of the Raleigh; Morning Post writes to tliat paper on Janua ry 25th : "John T. Nelson, a promi nent farmer of Person county, sold 914 pounds of tobacco at the Farmers Warehouse in this city. to-day, which brought him a check tor $332.)4, or an all round average of 3Gi cents per pound. In cashing his check the banker crave him sixteen 20-dollar gold pieces. J. C Fleming, of Granville county, sold 1,854 pounds of tobacco at the same warehouse for which he got $492 5G. Six hundred and twenty-eight pounds of this lot brought $45 per hundred. Prices are better now than for several years -past and a large quantity of the weed is being sold."
