The tobacco market has been dull Tor the
last week. Very few sales have been
made. Worst s. Shertz have bought
several crops they have about 100 cases
packed. Their packers intend having an
oyster supper in their packing establish
ment this week from the proceeds Of do
nations contributed by the growers, who
have delivered crops to Messrs. w. & s.
According to the New Holland Clarion
Mr.. c. Musser is considered the boss
grower Of the county, but Salisbury can
boast Of at least dozen crops that were
sold for higher figures than Mr.. Musser
received; and Salisbury growers claim
that they can compete with any district in
the county for both quality, yield and
prices received.
Messrs. Shingle & Hershey have received
quite a number of fino crops In Salisbury.
Mr.. Sample White, Of Gap, died from
consumption on Friday last, after linger-
ing for many weary months. Mr.. White
was consistent Democrat and one of his
most earnest desires was to live long
enough to be able to cast vote fOr Han
cock-and see him elected. He was high
ly respected by all who knew him and will
be greatly missed by his many friends.

mains of an infant by Mr.. Hiram Slauch,
considerable comment. At least 800 per.
sons have viewed tho skeleton, and all
have different ideas in regard to it. Some
pronounce it human remains, some the
body of pig others claim it to be COON
it is. The body when found had neither
head nor limbs, and the bones were almost
devoid of flesh. Tho bowels were still
there, and they are the only clue that can
unravel the mystery. It was reported that
have not heard Oft taking place, nor have
amined it. In our opinion, it will end ir
an animal of some kind, instead of a dis
covery Of crime committed By some of the
denizens of the hill.
Improvements are still taking place in
Clarksvil.e, several new houses being in
the course of erection at the present time
Only few days ago the ground now oc
cupied by the village was a dense thicket
Now it is thriving village supporting 6
nice little store, kept by Daniel Clark and
known in this neigiborhood as ssRambler's
Store" The citizens of the village have

their own potatoes and garden stuff, beside.
a respectable crop of tobacco for market
and if they continue to improve as they
have done for the past year they will ont
strip all their neighboring villages.
Mr.. George Frybergcr, Of Stark county,
Ohio, is now paying visit to his brothers
removed from this ncighborhoOd som,
eight Or ten years ago, and is a carpenter
and builder. He speaks highly of his new
home and only intends to spend shor
visit here.
The weather has been very inclemen
during the past week. The roads have
pretty we'll filled up with snow again
making them almost impossible. Par.

None of our stalwarts were loyal enough
to incur the expense Of a trip to Washing
ton to be present at the Inauguration.
They thought the cost would Overrun the
profits, asSalisbury is not likely to receive
IN appointment ut the hands of the new
executive.
Mount Airy has the champion drover o.
this locality. A short time ago he took q
sleigh ride, upset, and his horse commenced
kicking. He escaped with few bruises
but he claims that had he not held up his
blanket for the horse to kick against, III
would have been badly hurt. He has nov
a new horse and we hope that he may moi
have occasion to use his. blanket to pre-
vent his horse from kicking him in the
face, but still he is one of Our best fellows
and a boss grower of the weed.
We also have the champion oyster eater
of the eastern end. The last oyster sup
per he attended it required three walters
to serve him, and after disposing of ove1
| 800 of the biva!ves he claims that he gu {
hungry. He offers to eat against any mar
in the county, the one eating the lcas
number to pay all. Hope he may be &C
commodated, but VIC pity the man who
