repors that Mr.. John B, Bonner living at
Aapera, in Beaufort county, raised, during
the past year, on less than acres, 375
bushels of corn, or an average of 42 bush
els per acre. This land was cleared 1851,
and has been under cultivation every year
sinees and has never had any manure ap-
piled to it, The entire expense for this
crop, including plowing, planting and cul-
tiyating. was SIS. The Echo also learns
that Mr.. J. B. Bryan, living. at the same
place, produced, on 13 acres of land, IA
bales of cotton, weighing 500 lbs. each.

DoN'T LET THEM.-We join our cotem-

suggestions to the Postmasters in the sur.
rounding country, in reference to the i'm
propriety of allowing persons, not author

their Postoffice. Numerous complaints
have been made to US by subscribers, and
without naming the Office complained of,
we beg our friends, the Postmasters, not
to permit borrowers to sponge on paying
subscribers.-It is unjust to the subscribers
and very injurious to us.-Milton Chroni-
Gle.
Very true, and yet we have it on good
authority that it is common practice in
certain Postofices, which we will not now
name, to allow parties who are not subscri-

CAPT. R. A. WATsoN-Of the Whining
ton, Columbia and Augusta Railway made
a flying trip to this place last week. He
was looking well and expressed himself as
pleased with his new place. The lTarbero
Branch seems unnatural without the genial
face of Capt. Watson and if another change
is ever made in the Conductorship, we hope
the position will be given the old occu-
pant who filled it SO satisfactorily to the
people at large for a number of years.

MIsTAKKN.-The Washington Echo says
a colored man by the name of Napoleon
Patterson, former resident of that town,
was shot in or near Tarboro Wdays ago
by another colored man (name unknown,
and that he has since died.-Wil Star.
Correct in the premises, gentlemen; but
mistaken in the conclusion. Don't be in
too big hurry to get Napoleon dead. He
has been shot, it is true, but is doing very
well at present, and will be able, ve hear,
to he out in few days.

bled and manned. were fourteen
woman and children in the party. What
these people can expect to find in Texas to
benefit their condition we are unable to
surmise, but we will venture the prediction
that they will conclude, ere year has passed
that their move was bad one. The pecu-
MARY condition of our people, in many cas-
es, is desperate and unpronlising, but sell
dom it can be benefited by move to Tex

MADISON BROUGHT TO GRIEF.-The Mis- |
representative of old Edgecombe in the
North Carolina Senate was justly brought
to grief and his official position ignored by
the town Sergeant of Rocky Mount last
week, as we learn from our ente1prising
neighbor of that village. Says the Mail
During the political campaign of last
summer W. P. MADISON, COL, present State
Senator from Edgecombe, made speech at
Rocky Mount, in which he used such loud,
obscene and blasphemous language, as is
forbidden by one of our town ordinances.
Having violated this ordinance, the Mayor
issued a warrant for his arrest, but before
it could be served MADISON had left town.
Last Saturday officer Crumbler saw MADISON
in town aid at once arrested him and car
ried him beforel the Mayor, who fined him
S.. MADISON irkgsted that he was a men,
ber of the Legis lAlre and could not be
legally arrested, 1T the officer telling him
that he would st President Grant if
he were to come our quiet town and
offend its laws, red him to the Mayors
office. Here he rn insisted that he
could not be er d and read from
Battles Reyis, uisia h9 the Mayor held
that und+ the Drign rrest was legal,

path to see Mary.
They were absent long time-in fact,
as old Jabez thought, an unreasonably
long time, before he discerned through
the dense foliage of the acacia hedges
their advancing forms-Mr. Lacy look

and Mary leaning on his arm, with her
pretty face flushed, and her lips wreathed
in timid smiles.

"She says she'll consider it" answered
Jack, demurely.
A week or two afterwards, Minnie
Chester received neat little package
containing the diamond sleeve buttons
and the following billet:
DEAR MINNIE I've lost my wager,
but cheerfully deliver over the forfeited
stakes, for l have won something of in
initely more more value-a wife
cousin JACK"
From which we may conclude that the
result of Mary's 'consideration" was
favorable
