We had the pleasure of seeing in Weldon last Thursday our young friend Col. W.H. TUCKER of Raleigh.  The colonel was just returning from an extended tour in Europe in which he was accompanied by his charming nieces Misses Maggie, Lulu and Florence, daughters of Maj. R.S. TUCKER.  Mrs. R.S. TUCKER, still no less charming than any of her daughters had joined the party in New York and was with them on their return trip.
