SEPTEMBER "a, 1880.
Mr.. John B. Anderson, OF the Banner
warehouse, has bought OF Mr.. Z. A. Wal
tiers, OF this city, the tract OF land on which
MIR. Walters once lived, The said land being
in this county and near Milton. n. &. The
tract contains about $50 acres, and Mr.. An
derson pays for it g. go per acre. 1t is
understood that our young towDsWan, Mr..
J. II. T. Oliver will take about $50 acres OF
this land from Mr.. Anderson. Mr.. Ander-
son says he is going to strike out for quar-
ter OF a million OF tobacco hills next year,
the aboye-named land being adjoining a
large body of land which Mr.. Anderson
owns and is cultiyating.
Somehow / have omitted to report that
the American Union Telegraph Company
has received permission OF the Council 10
erect its poles and run its lines within the
city.
Tue Dan Valley and Yadkn River Rail-
road Company, the necessary amount Of
stock having been subscribed, has been or
furd as president. Colonel II. B. Withers
vice-president, and directors as follows !:
+. Il. Wrhers, +. NJ. HamIin, Il. j. Tai
bolt, A. Y. Stokes, j. p. Branch. 1t seems
understood that The route is to be surveyed
at once as far as from Cascade TO the North
Carolina line. aud that this company will
use the Danyile and New River road as far
as TO Cascade, and then turn of TO Leaks
vile and seek connections beyond Leaks
Vile. wrote the Dispatch in July that it
was then thought pretty certain that there
would be road run from Cascade 10
Leaksyil'e. The distance being only six or
seven miles, and the demand Tor such road
being very great. But In the mean time the
Midland road has been disengaging itself so
that its directors can almost " seize with the
eye" the proposed extension, and has been
forming combinations OF an interesting
character south OF us. Well, we hardly
know wba, is In store for us and what Dan
vile has Ia store for herself, or whether she
Is 10 be anybody. She will surely make
something Of these many railroads.
The DoIe-raising by the North DanviIle
Democrats was more than an ordinary az
lair. Speeches were made by Colonel Cabcll
and MIR. j. ID. Blackwell, and some OF the
Danviile Dagnstes lent the help OF their
connlenances. The pole is ninety.six feet
high, and the flag twenty-three feet long.
But woman bad band IA the affair, 100.
Misses Epperson, OF Norm Danvile, made
she flag. and Miss Palte Carter, OF North
Danyilie, ran IL up 10 the masthead. Every
pact OF the ceremonies bad also been pre-
ss01sly referred 10 committees and respec-
tsdy reported upon.

non remark amongst them 10 which the
'uyeis DO not sgrec, Of course that the crop
beIow The average and Of an Indifferent
baraeter. Ii IL agreed throughout the
ountry that the crop will not afford the
sual proportion OF wrappers. But amongst

oIley. Mr. X. l.. Gosuey was fully in
