n. w. Aver & Sons American
Newspaper Annual for 1884 has
reached us. 1t is the most complete
work of its kind published in the
United States, and probably the
only reliable guide in finding out
the circulation, politics, age and
size OF any periodical published in
the United States and Canada. In
addition TO this it gives the location,
county-seat and population of every
county in the United States. From
it you can learn the character of the
surface, the nature of the soil, and
its adaptability to the growth of the
various agricultural staples, OF ev-
cry state, territory and county in
the United States, and of each of
the Canadian provinces. A very
interesting feature is the fact
that 1t has a list of the cities,
towns and villages of the United
States having a population of five
thousand and upward, arranged in
alphabetical order.

Red Riding Hood.

The oIeretta Red Riding Hood,
was presented at the Academy,
Thursday night by the children OF
the Methodist Sunday school. / ie
entertainment was prepared and
supervised by Miss Sallie Bryan
who deserves the highest praise iu
its eminent success.
The draDadtis pe,sOiaoe consisted OF
Red Riding Hood, the wolf, the
grandmother and about % iaries.
The heroine was a fine PRESERVATION
of the little girl who met with such
sad adventure in the old nursery
romance, but she had better luck in
the Operetta than she did in the tale
as ii was told when We were young.
All of the actors were preitily and
appropriately costumed and went
through with their respective parts
in fine style. The FAIRIES were AS
sweet and almost as dainty as their
legendary prototypes that swung on
gossamer, lived in lily bells and per-
formed so many merry pranks in
the green wood.
The audience was highly enter
tanned and gave ample evidence of
its appreciation.
The operelta was repeated in a
matinee Friday afternoon at
o'clock. Admission 10 cents.

Tammany Hall refused to unite
with the other Democratic factions

John Kelly made lengthy address
which concluded by saying that it
was the desire of Tammany Hall to
give Grover Cleveland a full and
honorable support. 1t is neverthe-
less believed by some that Kelly
will "knife" the Democratic candi-
date and trade him off for votes for

AS stocks on sale in our marke:
were about exhausted at the begin
ming of September. and receipts
and sales since that time having
been quite Insignificant, the mcnth
has passed without any feature OF
special interest to note.
The present crop in this district
(though somewhat curtailed by
drought in some localities), is yet a
large one, and about two-thirds OF
1t already cut and in the house, but
as the weather has been very warm
and wet for several days past it has
partially checked cutting, and it
yet remains to be seen what the re-
suit will be upon the outstanding
portion of the crop Taken as Il
whole, l think the crop will not be
so leafy as last year, but will pos
sess fully as much, il not more, gum
and substance however, in a meas
ure, the quality and future useful
ness will greatly depend upon its
proper curing and handling in the
barns.

We were shown to-day, the 1st of
October, a large bunch of Concord
grapes fresh from the vine. These
grapes, every one knows, ripen
about the LIST of August. They
were protected from birds and bees
and hung on the vine all this time.
Mr.. Rice says the grape has another
enemy almost as bad as the bird
and bee, which is moth that de-
posts an egg in the grape that
makes worm that destroys them.
The canvass is good protection
against them, as the bees and birds.

An Interesting Race.

Ofiirer HOlleman, of the Clarks-
willie police force, had foot race
after a negro named Henry Banks,
Tuesday. He had arrested Banks
on a charge of bigamy, and in COM
pany with Mr.. George Harris, the
jailer, was carrying him 10 Jail when
the prisoner made a break for liber-
ty. He ran in the direction of the
river, Il | Mr.. Holleman followed
in lively pursuit. They skirmished
hither and thither through the
streets and alleys that lie between
the Jail and the levy. When they
got into open space Holleman
brought his pistol into play and
di charged it three times at the flee
ing criminal. Banks finally jumped
ihtU the river near the ferry, but
didn't have the courage to swim
across and returned and surrendered
himself.
He had only been out of Jail three
days when arrested, having been
confined on a peace warrant. The
warrants in both cases were sworn
out by his father-in-law, Tom eau
die. Banks friends say that it is a
case of persecution. That Caudle
wishes to get rid of him in order
that he may have the sole possession
