DIANA MILLS, November II, 1889.
The trouble in the colored school AT We'll.

10 the satisfaction of all parties, and the
school will 90 on.
William Fontaine was arTaigned at last
court for killing Walter Burton (coIoredD.
and elected TO be tried before the Circuii
Court. Bail was refused by the County
trial. ''''
There has been a good deal Of sicknes,
IN some parts OF our county this fall and a
number OF deaths. Among the deaths,
Mrs. Sarah Williams, the oldest person I'm
the neighborhood, died at her residence.
near Buckingham church, the first part Of
'asi week. She had been living there about
sixty years. Mrs. Thompson, wife OF Rev.
W. ;. Thompson, died last Saturday and
was buried at New Canton on Tuesday.
Tier burial was largely attended, and Mr..
thompson and family have the sympathieS
OF the entire community.
The first killing frost this fall was lust a
month later than we had il last wear. The
season has been remarkably warm and
favorable for farm work. The wheat has
come mp well, and all the crops that have
been seeded are looking well. The grass
crop is more promising than it has been
for several years past.

OF the election generally, and are hopeful

CR0PS-NO DISEASE AMONGST The CATTLE
THE RAILROAD FROM NEW CANTON, ETC.
BUCKINGHAM, November l., 1882.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Our corn crop is pretty well gathered,
and wellnigh every farmer is gratified at
having a better yield than he expected.
All our food-crops yielded well, and a
larger margin OF wheat and winter oats
was seeded.
There was some apprehension that the
Texas cattle disease prevailed in the lover
end of the county, and Mr.. Robert
Saunders, Jr., Of Campbell, made q tour Of
the county last week in the interest Of the
cattle commission, but as far a. | can learn
he failed TO detect any malignant disease
amongst our cattle.
We still look for the railroad from New
Canton diagonally across the county to
Lvnchburg, or some point on the Norfolk
and Western railroad, which will furnish
a ready home market for our valuable hard
wood, and the immense forests OF pine and
poplar timber for lumber which abound
in the county.
1t will tend to develop more fully our
valuable interests. and give life and activity
to all Our varied pursuits, and contribute
immensely to our material prosperity.
This county was organized in 1861, and
in the last decade has exhibited more di-
verse and valuable industries than it did in
4 half century before.
1t is pleasing that Our countyman, Col
onel Fisher, Of Fisher & W.'leS Of your
city, manifests commendable interest in
the welfare OF the county. :.
