Wilson News Carriage of Progress With New Prizes
The Wilson scene shows a building boom with a large brick tobacco warehouse near Tarboro Street and multiple prize houses under construction. Notable moves include J T Wiggins converting Edwards livery stable into a tobacco storage unit and W M Carter adding a prize house near Planters Warehouse. Local social items praise Miss Lizzie Porter and Miss Addie Earl, plus civic talk on improvements and a forthcoming Brown's Opera House lecture by Henry Blount.
