Court advising both parties to try

City Election.

As the time fol our city election
approaches, The hand shaking mania
revives. For two months there has
been a lull in politics. and we are in
formed that some Of our citizens have
not shaken hands since the first of
November. From the signs of the
times we think there will he some in
terest taken in the coming city cleo
ton. There will be a nice little race
for the office of city attorney, and a
sharp contest for the office of mayor.
The candidates for other offices have
not developed as yet. The heaviest
vote ever polled in Mexico will be
cast this spring. If there is no con-
ventlon, the race for the various
offices will be exciting, with the
chances in favor of the best men.

last February, shot and killed Frederick

Charlotte, last Thursday, little negro boy
named Walter Pemberton, only about 8 years

of one dollar and half, which sum he
had collected for his mother that morning !;
and when found, his pockets showed that they
had been rifed. One or two arrests have been
made, among them negro boy from Rock

How to Reach Yorktown.

- A correspondent says that what was
originally a difficult factor in the problem of
the Yorktown celebration, growing out of a
limited wharfage capacity and the impractica-
