conference.-the Kuklux passed through
our county one day last week, but did no
serious damage. A Yankee teacher of CO.
lored children was said to be SO badly
alarmed that he ran out of his shirt. The
next thing heard is an order to arrest some
eight or ten of our good people, one of whom
at least has been in bed and house quite
sick for some weeks.
Our farmers and planters are all busy on
the tobacco crop, and with q few gentle
showers just now it will be very good one.
Much of it is late, and fear will not ripen
we'll without the most genial weather.
We have no hope at present of chance
to vote on the new Constitution, 80 called.
But whenever they do give US the privilege,
our shot will be so sure and unerring rs to
knock out the black and SILVER the board
A wide margin of land is for sale in our
county, and at very low figures. Indeed
land in this county, and more particularly
on the south side Of the county, is pro-
verbally cheaper than at any other place
Yet We are only eight miles from the South
side railroad, and on Appomattox river
atfording any amount of water-poWer, anu
some very fine lands.
The weather is most oppresslvely hot
and our lands are becoming too hard fol
the pillow. Most of the freedmen are busy
about very little, and consequently farm
labor for the next crop is making no pro
gress. More anon. u.
