A Xeiv IJu.ver on Our farkel. Our already excellent corp of leaf deal- ers has recently been greatly augmented by the addition of Mr. E. O. Billy, who has acquired a big reputation as one of the most liberal buyers in the State. He was on our breaks Tuesday, and the way he stood up to a pile of tobacco and bid against the old veterans was astonishing to behbld. He bid lively and seemed to want al the fine tobacco he could goblde up. Efery pile nearly was knocked off to E. C Billy, who gave our buyers some good ppint in the art of bidding. This; gentleman created considerable excitement among the farmers and nu merous inquiries were made, such as: "Who is he ! Where did he come from ! May he stay here forever as long as he continues to pay $10, 50, 00 and 70 for tobacco !" One fellow was particularly enthusias tic overi Mr. E. O. Billy and threw his hat among the rafters of the warehouse and exclaimed: "I want to get to that fellow with the light coat on and hug him good! He is a dandy, you bet, must hold power ful big orders for tobacco and have a mint of money behind him." When he threw his hat up it distut bed the slumbers of the buyers pet owl, who straightened his ears and looked down in such a manner as if to say, "what's up, boys ?" and no doubt would have had something to say about being disturbed in his morning snoose, but he caught the eye of Abe Strause and "mum was the word." An old darkey stood by antl listened to the various comments made by those who gathered around the buyers was heard to exclaimed, "Whar tlat vidual come frum any how ? He is de wus man after bacco ever been in dis neck of de woods, for tie lord he is, surh !" Carload Farm Wagons at Owen, Bar bour As Smith. See the Disc Harrows at Owen, Barbour As Smith. i .

Corrected eini-vcekly by NV. A. Bobbin. J Oxford, N. C, Feb. 20, 1800. The receipts for the week have been very heavy. There has been a consider able quantity of line to fancy wrappers which sold for high prices. Upon the whole tobacco has been higher. There has been an advance on all grades. The farmers have been unanimously well pleased with prices, and the present high prices ought to have a tendency to cause the farmers to rush in their tobacco as they cannot hope for any better prices. Common smokers and fillers are higher than they have been for several years. There seems to be a heavy demand just now for all grades of tobacco and it would be well for the farmers to bear this in mind and market their tobacco as soon as possible. SMOKERS.
