represents forty millions Of golden dollars. and
the holders of tickets that may draw prizes are

old man who left the original property points

we're found hidden away 10 magpie places about

The sum he left to be fought over was two
millions OF pounds, and it has now become eight
millions. Scores of people have been ruined
in the effort to grasp the old miser's hoard and
scores of lawyers have made fortunes by it.

Items like this appear in the San
Francisco papers: "We'are requested
to state that five hundred boys, be-
tween the ages of fifteen to twenty
years, are wanted in San Joaquin
county to pick hops, a kind of work
which, through mistaken policy, was
formerly assigned to Cinnamon. Each
boy must come provided with a blan-
ket. Fare advanced to destination.
Wages shall be regularly paid at the
rate OF SIS to $25 per month, with
good board. lodging and kind treat
ment.
To which we beg to add that if the
beer-drinkers of California get no
more of their favorite beverage until
those hops are picked by the boys of
San Francisco they will have a long
protracted drouth. We venture to
say that crop will be picked by Chi
namen, mistaken policy" or not
or it will not be picked at all. Your
hoodlum is not pining away for want
of work at SIS to $50 per month. He
doesn't want any kind treatment,
either, if he knows himself.

Ye editors, a bank cashier, a mer-
chant and a visitor to our town leav-
ing business and worldly cares behind
them proceeded to the Potomac on
Saturday, and made themselves hap

TWO BOLD
Bed Rooms Entcrcd--r sunt them
Down.

Bed Rooms Entcrcd--f sunt them
Down.
Two Of our citizens suffered at the
hands of some bold burglars on Sun
day night. Hon. w. II. III. Flick.
living on North Queen street, be-
tween Martin and Race streets, had
his bed room entered and a fine gold
watch and chain and about twenty
eight dollars in money taken from
his vest pocket. Mr.. Flick states
that he had his watch in his hand
between IL and 1o'clock at night, SO
it seems the burglar elected the NOR
ming hours for his operations.
Strange to say, the doors were all
found locked in the morning and the
only other means of ingress was by a
window opening from a back porch
into Mr.. Flick's bed room. The vii
lain left no track, not even a foot
print whereby he might be tracked.
Mr.. O. E.. Ripley suffered in the
same manner as Mr.. Flick. His bed
room was entered, every door in the
house being found locked in the
morning, about thirty-five dollars in
money was taken from his pocket
book, and the book put back in his
pantaloons. In this case too the only
means of ingress and egress except
the locked doors, was by a window
opening from a back porch into his
bed ROOM. Mr.. Ripley lives on Raj
eigh street, several squares from Mr..
Flick, hence it is hardly possible that
these two houses were mapped out
by a gang of travelling experts; and
the probability is that if the perpe-
traitors OF these concurrent crimes
should ever be apprehended, an or
gained band OF methodical ,systema-
tized desperadoes will be unearthed.
Let every honest man keep a sharp
lookout for every possible clue, and
assist in bringing them to justice.

Guides" In every instance the
boards are painted red and the let
tiers black. We don't know whose
idea this is, but he ought to have
known that such a combination of
colors is not proper for a "guide
board" It cannot be read at any
distance. The board ought to be
white and the letters black.

He Advice.

An exemplary minister of the
gospel residing in Raleigh was bu-
sy at his sermon the other evening
when q caller came to disturb
him. 1t was q stranger, and he
said his name was Dolsocker. He
extended his hand for a shake, sat
down as if in his own house, and
presently began:
II called to see ifyou would give
me a little spiritual advice?"
"Certainly / will, and be glad to
was the reply" Are you a profess
ser?"
"No."
"Then you are thinking of turn
ing your feet into good paths 1
hope?,'
tating reply.
Don't you want to be a Chris
tian?' asked the good man.
"I'll tell you how it is" said the
stranger, after quite a lengthy in
terval. "I've got a ticket in q lot
terry, and l wanted to ask you if
you thought it would stand any
better chance of striking the big
prize If l was sort o. good than it
would If l kept on being sort o.
bad!"

Mr.. Dolsocker very long. Raleigh

More Misfortune for Mrs. Crowl.

Mrs. Crowl, who has already been
a sufferer through the loss of some
stock, and also of her crop of grain
at the hands of thieves and incen-
diaries, was on Thursday night again
subjected to loss by having two of
her horses shot in one of the fields of
her farm. This thing is getting to
be unbearable, and it is time for the
sheriffs of the county to be looking it
up. People are under the wrong I'M
preston. 1t is the duty of the Sher-
If to catch and hold, and of the
Prosecutor to make it lively in Court
for criminals.

Old Buzfuz is disgruntled because
one Of the editors of this paper, in
his individual and personal capacity,
spoke of the county court as the Elm
fernal county court system" But
how about BuzfuZ? He denounced
the members of the court as a set of
jackassess, but had nothing to say
against the system. Wepresume he
has forgotten all about it-how he
had to take it all back and eat hum
BILE pie and crow, just as he has been
doing eve since the State Conven-
ton. But Buzfuz signifiesa willing
ness to defend the Conrt and the sys-
tenn for a consideration. Buzfuz is
always around for a consideration
He can be bought cheap-from a
drink of whisky up to SIS. He would
defend the county court system if the
members of the court would not take
the INDEPENDENT. That's what
hurts old Buzzy so much. It's gall
and wormword to him that so many
more of the people of the county, of
both political parties, will take the
INDEPENDENT in preference to his
smut machine. People generally buy
the best article for the same price
and make no exception in newspa-
pers. Buzfuz oughtn't to show so
much venom because the people re-
fuse to take his paper, because they
know, and he ought to know, it is
not worth the half what he asks for
it.
