Rev. j. NJ. Dawson will speak at Motto
way Courthouse on the 9TH of October and
Louisa Courthouse oIfthe 9th Of October,
and at Williamsburg on the 18th.
II is stated that Colonel John f. Penn.
OF Patrick Courthouse, expects TO leave
Patrick and locate at Salem, Roanoke
county, some time this fall.
A fiendish attempt was made this morn
ing to wreck the northern-bound passenger
train on the Piedmont railroad about two
miles south OF Ruflin station. At sharp
curve in the road some person placed seve-
raj logs across the track. but the engineer
saw the obstruction Just in time to stop the
train, the cow-catcher even running against
one OF the logs. Such an act deserves the
seyerest punishment.
The up train had passed the point where
the logs were lying but few minutes be-
lore they were placed upon the track

To-day ends the peanut year, and the
stock in this market is very light, no sales
having been reported for several DAYS. Ii
viii be about ten days before the new
crop will commence to arrive. From par.
ties who are thoroughly familiar with the
peanut section OF our State we learn that
the acreage planted this year is about
10 per cent. greater than in 1881, being
about $4,000 acres 10 10000 last wear. and
that the yield will probably be in the neigh
borhood Of 30 bushels per acre this wear as
against % last year. This years crop. ac-
eording to the above figures, will there
fore be between eleven hundred and fifty
thousand and twelve hundred thousand
bushels. Norfolk Ledger, September SOfh.
