when we recollect the trouble and loss-the
potato-bug, cabbage-bug, and the something
that DESTROYED our wheat last spring, We
welcome this cold, freezing winter, In hopes
that it will kill out all the bugs, and that the
early spring will open with good prospects
for an abundant harvest.
This section Of our county (lowcr end) has
met with serious losses In the potato crop.

The Buried village.

The Alexandria Gazette, in publishing
the story OF the village buried in snow
drift, says:
A gentleman just from upper Fauquier,
near Paris, states that the story, if not alto
geiher Incorrect is at least greatly eXag9e-
rated; and that while there is great deal
OF snow, nothing like covering up OF vii
lagos or freezing 10 death or starvation
really exists except in the fertile imagina-
ton OF the writer OF this really thrilling
romance.
So we supposed and minated.

A CONTRAST. Mr.. PHILIPS, Of Missouri,
said In a speech in the House Of Represent.
atiyes last week that the Inauguration OF
Mr.. GARFIELD "promiscs 10 its wastefu
outlay Of money and imperial ostentation TO
vie with the crazy triumpbal reception OF 0
returned Roman general from bis carnival
Of blood and plumber, and that, too, when
the poor of Washington city BLOCK It's
streets begging"
All that IL needed TO complete the picture
Is the presence Of General GRANT as the
"returned general" In 1884 we may have
that.

Tobacco and Cotton.
BUFFALO SPRINGS, }
MECKLENBURG COUNTY, VA. :
January 1901


Editors DiSpQtch: The articles appear
ing in your paper with reference To inc
White Burley as suitable TO supersede the
t0baccos made by our ancestors, and which
have been steadily cultivated by the people
Of Southside Virginia, when either high oil
low priced, in peace and war. are attracting
attention. Experiments will only be evil
dence OF its suitability as substitute. The
climate, soil, mode OF cultivation and ferti.
.zing have marked effect upon the quality,
texture, aud odor OF tobacco. Our neigh
bors OF Granville aud Person counties
North CarOlina, if transferred to the
coarstr and more fertile lands OF our coun.
walton, aud handling, would ind a very de.
cided difference in the production Of yellow
tobacco.
II have seen repeated experiments OF this
in the last few years, and from observation
can say that zone Of our farmers can pro-
duce an article to equal the golden color
smailness Of stem, silky feeling, and deli
cate fineness of our Carolina friends.
Occasionally some people will select 6
small area which will produce passable
yellow tobacco, which to the eyes OF the in
experienced appears surprisingly good, bu'
when contrasted with the productions G.
the bright-tobacco regions is wonderfully
defective; and when the report comes Of
prices realized the producers are struck
with amazemeDt.
The prices OF dark tobacco are now toe
distressingly low for money crop for the
people OF this section, and hope the White
Burley may be successfully substituted
for the planting community are sadly IL
need OF the introduction OF some producI
from which they could realize more thar
the cost OF production. They would hal
as a public benefsc0r any one who woulc
introduce commodity so they could say
"From our touch. like Midas OF old,
II has surely turned 10 gold"
But my purpose In writing was 20 speak
OF the adaptabiIity OF our section for cot
ton. Experience has demonstrated that
this staple can be made here In sufficient
quantity and OF superior quality to reward
labor and meet the demands Of commerce.

residents Of that locality. On arriving al
Sicher's hotel the horses ran into the team
of a man who WAS unloading some coke ON

wagon up pretty badly and were pretty
badly used up themselves. The broken
tongue of the coke mans wagon entered
the side of one OF the horses of the run
away team. tearing open the flesh along the
side several inches. This had the effect of
stopping the mad career oil the stecds.
The horse was sewed up and will probably

Gap" Witcher Behind the Bars

The de>picable, drunken wretch,
Cap" Witcher. who has made ~
much history in tine past few years,
was in the city again yesterday, and
TILED up with fighting bug juice,
which always gets him into trouble.
The fact Is he takes the advantage OF
his drunkenness. like Felix Black, and
when in an inebriated condition taxes
delight in rendering himself not only
obnoxious and stencil to all decent
people, but endeavors to terrorize
everybody whom he takes dislike 10,
while at the same time he is a rank
coward and vile cur. All the cour
age he ever had was what whisky
temporarily gave him while under is
influence.
Yesterday evening Witcher rode ON
horse To the front of Bruto> barber
shop, on Usage street, where Brute
and railroad engineer stood talking
Witcher commanded Brute To- hold
his horse. This Brute declined ID 30,
when the cowardly Cap. pulled
pistol and prepared to DO
some shooting. A moment later ne
fell into the hands of the police aid
was landed in the cooler to spend Sun
day, thinking what his fine viii be
tomorrow.
This miserable whelp should be
banished from the country, or Or
made to behave himself when trav-
ersing the same streets with respecta-
bic people.
