sufely say that is tho best cotton
I have over soon. It was injured

bt8hcls of this seed for sale at 11.00

Tho Dublin hurt Wrightsville
ICailroad.
The stockholders of the Wrights-
ville and Tennille rail toad compa
ny met, iu answor to a call from the
president in Wrightsville Inst Wednes
day to endorse the action of tho com-
tnitlco appointed from their board of
directors in consolidating that road
with the end leading from the last
named place. There was more oppo
sition than was anticipated by many,
and quite a lively time was tho re
sult. The Central road, however,
has the controlling vote, und slu 1
being in favor of the consolidation,
there was no trouble in accomplishing
tho desired object. While it now
looks protty hard on the stockholders
of tho other cud, it will doubtless
prove the best thing for all parlies
concerned, in the end. The vote
stood ubout 500 against und 1700 for
the consolidation, and it is now
styled the Dublin and Wrightsville
railroad.
Mr. G. G. Raines, a merchant of
Bruton, had an encounter with a
negro by tho name of Green Pullen,
on the evening of the 15th instant,
at Lovett. The negro hud purchased
goous from Raines on a credit, and
meeting him at Lovett he (Raines)
asked tho negro when he intended
to pay him; told him that ho had
frequently promised to settle his
account but'had failed in overy in
stance to do so. The negro then de
clared that he had made no such
promises. After telling him once
twice more that he made the prom
ises, and had them denied by tho
negro, Raines struck him with his
fist. The negro then cut a gash on
the forehead of Raiues with an axe
that lie had just purchased from oue
of the stores, and made a brake for
the woods. Raines, blinded by the
quantity of blood that was flowing
from tho out, ran alter him, brush
ing back the blood and shooting at
him at the same time, for several
shoes. It is not known whether the
negro was touched by the bullets or
not, for tho negro hud not been
home at last accounts and no one at
Lovett could hear anything of his
whereabouts. Perhaps lie has decided
that prudence is the belter part of
valor and decided not lo return, for
it would not be healthy for him to,
while tho feeling is so bitter against
him.
Mr. Lewis Beaoham, of Condor,
was shot at five times last Thursday
night, at (hut place, by Mr. 'Fenley
Kea, of the same town. It seems
that the latter was angry with the
former ubout a piece of land on
which Condor station is now shunted.
Kea, on tho day above mentioned,
hearing that Beucham had sworn in
the grand jury room against him,
decided to settle the mat ter on short
notice, and advised l.im accordingly.
Then, although one hundred turds
off, he began to shoot and emptied
five barrels at him This was the
end of the difficulty, but it is feared
that it isfiot the last of it.
Mr. W. J.- Hightower has gone
into the livery stable business with
tho determination to excel, in point
of accommodation, etc., anything of

front town to the depot. It is hoped
that he will meet with much success
in the business.
