>
ELEVEN VALUABLE BUILDING LOTS FOR

tension of st 'res for the accommodation of trade.

the Depot of the Norfolk and
Petersburg Railroad,
Which will be in operation now in a few months
EQUALLY CLOSE TO MOST OF THE
STEAMBOAT LANDINGS.
And the entire site presents an
UNSURPASSED LOCATION FOR A NEW
HOTEL,

braska street,
All of which could be rented at once, SO great is
the demand for business locations.
If not sold entire, the property will be divided

fronting Main street win extend back 100 feet,
and those on Nebraska street extend back from

here in regard to the rapidly increasing value Of
this property: Every one familiar to the urgent
demand which already exists for Stores, offices,
and Dwellings must at once see its desirability

SMALL Pox-ITs CURE. while we
believe that small pox is on the de-
crease in this community, and would
fain hope that the same is true of
other localities in the State, it is still
worth while to say that recent expert
ments have conclusively shown that
the North American plant known as
saracenia !pu'purd is both an antidote
and cure for the loathsome disease.
The same plant known to our people
rs the f1y-trap or pitcher plant grows
abundantly and is found extensively
IN South Carolina-perhaps in our
State, too. The Instructions for it's
use is as follows: can ounce of the
root is sliced and infused in quart
of water, and allowed to simmer
down to pint, and given in two
tablespoonsful doses every four hours,
while the patient is well nourished
with beef tea and arrow root. Four

the disease, all been perfectly sensi-
BILE, have been free from pain, and
have never felt weak. The effect of
this medicine, which was carefully
watched, seemed to arrest the deve-
lopment of the pustules, killing, as it
were, the virus from within, thereby
changing the character of the disease,
and doing away with the cause of
pitting, (if I may so express myself
to the uninitiated, and thus avoiding
the necessity of gutta percha and
India rubber applications, or of open
ing the pustules. In my opinion, all
anticipations of Disagreement from
pitting may now be calmed, if this
medicine is given from the COM
mencement of the disease. The only
useful part of the plant is in its root. -

The Criminal Court of Washington

The Criminal Court of Washington
has commenced the trial of General
Lafayette G. Baker, on the charge of
robbery, preferred by Mrs. Lucy
Cobb, well known as pardon broker.
The specific charge made by Mrs. G.
Is that General Baker, while she was
under constraint from him, robbed
her of 50, 900, which she had received
from man named Hine or Howell,
for procuring him pardon.
The Huntsville (Ala.) Adoocate says:
"Our farmers are generally planting

GoLD.-Gold went up, in New York, yes
terday, from s1.25 to 1.2s!. The rise was
reported here to have been caused by some
news (the nature of which was not stately
from Washington; but we think it much
more likely that the steamship China, al
ready overdue, has arrived, and that her
news has affected the gold market. If
United States securities are dull in Eu-
rope, or have fallen, that would prevent
their being sent abroad, and a demand for
gold and rise in it's price would be the
immediate consequence. 1t is not believed,
however, that gold will go higher, if as
high as 81 80, it being the. generally re-
ceived opinion in financial circles that the
Government, which has shown itself COM
pletely the master of the gold market, has
resolved not to permit the premium on gold
to rise above that figure
