We have several times before taken
occasion to notice the exploits of a lit
tie street Arab and hoodlHm, who bids
fair to rival the most noted cracksmen
and highwaymen of modern or ancient
times. We refer to Ed. Mcclure who
though but child in years, is very
old in crime. Ed. has, even at this
early stage of his career been marked
for life-having lost part of one ear
in one of his numerous raids after
plumber. On Sunday last, Ed. took
his first lesson in the role of high
wayman. Assisted by one of his pals,
he waylaid young 18th amendment
who was on his way TO market, and
robbed him of the contents of his
pocket book cents. Being closely
pressed by the officers Ed DOTTED his
clothes and swan the river, but was
overtaken by the police and incarcer-
ated in the city Jail. Upon being
brought before His Honor where he
had so often appeared before-The
Mayor said he did not know what to
do with him. He threatened to Danish |
Ed. to the classic shades of Caney |
creek, but upon a faithful promise that
he would never be guilty again he
turned him loose on the world Did
Ed. keep his promise? Not he! In
less than five hours after regaining
his freedom, complaint was made at
headquarters that the young hoodum
was again on the rampage-this time
for stealing Il hat from a young boy.
Just what to do with this young
:capegrace is what is bothering His
Honor at the present time. We
would suggest that he be muzzled,
put in strait.jaclIet and sentenced to
solitary confinement in the dome of
he Capital until a complete reforma-
ion has taken place. If this is done,
We will never see or hear anything
more of this incorrigible young
loodlum.

GER Of August 9th, says
County mprovements.-We are glad
to note the fact that all kinds of improved
farm machinery are being purchased by our
Wake county farmers. Day by day the
number of engines increases, while good
cotton gins. wheat threshers and separatoTs,
moving machines, ETC., are sold IN all parts
of the county.
The use of better fertilizers has produced d
good effects on the cotton crop IN all parts
of the county, particularly in the western
portion We are right on the line between
clay and sand. West of US Is the clay, east
the sand. The difference in the soils = re-
markable as occurring in So small space.
This attention to crops If cotton has had
the effect of increasing the value OF land
suited to It's growth. More corn, wheat
and oats have been raised in Wake IN the
past two seasons than ever before. Wake
has nearly 1900 more people than al,
other county in the State and the value Q
its property is about a million dollars more
than that of any of the others
