Florence returning to England.
During last year Mrs. Church and
her daughter were witnessing a re-
view and sham fight at Chatham,
when they met Colonel Lean. Some
time afterward, Mrs. Church and her
daughter having parted, the latter re-
ceived letter from her mother to the
effect that owing to all the unhappi-
ness she had gone through in her mar
ried life she had taken step, startling
no doubt to her children. but which
could never be recalled, that Of living
with Colonel Lean, himself a father
of eight children, and released by this
Court from very unhappy marriage.

ted the divorce. No more sentimental

What Our Farmers are Doing.

According to the statistics of the
National Bureau, North Carolina, dur
ing the twelve months preceding jan
uary 1st, 1878, increased her wheat
products half million of bushels, ads
ding exactly one bushel per acre to
the average yield of the State, and Co.
900 acres to the wheat acreage of the
State The increased value of the
crop for the year was $500, 900. Oats
fell off ) 0O0 acres in area. and cents
in average price, Yet by increasing the
yield bushels per acre, adding 45O,-
600 bushels to the product for the
State, the total value was increased
about 800, 900. Corn fell off 200, 900
bushels, notwithstanding an increased
acreage of 5000 acres, and lost in
value $500 Rye increased its
yield S5, GOO bushels, but fell off p
cents in price, losing S74, 900 in value.
Hay increased 10000 tons, but having
decreased in price more than 81 per

Irish potatoes increased 1000 bushels,

Bro. Cameron, of the Hillsboro Re

lures of popular demand
SHEEP HUsBANDRY.
'And first : we..think the demand is
loud enough and general enough to
give the Legislature sufficient back
bone to stand up to legislation on the
subject of sheep husbandry. The
question has been approached gingerly
enough heretofore, aud members drew
back sudde lly as if they had burn ed
their fingers. 1t is not so dangerous
question after all. 1t will only bury
few. politicians; time-servers die
soon enough anyway. The people APP
preciate boldness, and they are not SO
deficient in common sense as might
be supposed. Most of them are ripe
for the dog question. Let it be met,
and If it must be met, and if dogs
must be protected let them be made
to contribute something to the revC-
nue. of the State. A bowling nuisance
and wasteful curse they now exist
THE ROAD SYSTEM.
Let that be amended. North Caro-
liua roads are disgrace to civilization;
and are the fruits of system discre-
ditable to intelligence and reproachful
to Justice and fair distribution Of bur
q MS. But roads can never be better
under q system which eXacts compule
sorv labor from those least interested
to keep them in repair. The sense of
Justice revolts from the idea of en-
forcing penalties under such circum-
stances, and therefore all roads are
going from bad to worse. Now let the
Legislature take the bull BY the horn
with boldness. Let it resolve that our
roads shall he made such as the age
demands. We have passed the era of
. Greer paths to or through the will
derness. We demand highways for
ira -el and traffic between established
~ rts and towns. Such highways co t
something. Let them be built and
maintained by taxation. The people
will sustain legislation to that effect.
PAYMENT OF POLL TAX.
Let that be made prerequisite for
voting. Every one applauds the action
of the Judges who require that all
grand Jurors shall have paid their taxes
before they are privileged to enter
upon their inquisition into the moral
condition of their respective counties,
still more should they who choose those
who are to make or to enforce laws
show before they exercise their right
of suffrage that they have given that
substantial evidence of interest in the
affairs of the State. 1t need disfran-
chise no one. 1t is impartial in its
operation. And the enforcement of
the law would relieve the Common
School system of much of the odium
which grows out of its poverty.
THE COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM
Against its short comings there is
general clamor. Remedies we cannot
suggest-only this-because the sys-
TEN is bad, do not destroy, but amend
it. A foundation there is to build
upon. A start has been made, the
very clamor that IS made is evidence
of the eagerness of the people for
something better. Let this question
have profound consideration.
