NO matter what paper you take, always
save your subscription receipts, and when
you come in to pay another year bring
your last receipt with you, if it does not
correspond with the date printed on your
paper. Publishers have to rely on their
books, and sometimes when a subscriber
thinks his memory is better than the books,
the receipt at once settles the matter, and
saves any dispute.

Landy Grimes, of Nottovay county,
is a negro who tries to travel with
out paying fare. Last night he
secreted himself between two cars Of u
freight train and escaped detection until
the train had reached DiEputanta sta
tion. Here, by some mishap, he was
caught between the cars and crushed
nearly to death, both legs being bro
ken.
Heavy rains are reported in the

and honored resident. Mrs. Niche
was the aunt Of Mrs. Governor Came

held this afternoon in St. Paul's church,
Of which Mrs. Niche had long been a
member. The intermcnt was in Bland

The weather has been variable this
year in the SOuth-Side section, and the
season has been favorable in some To-

Hence the conflicting reports Of the
condition Of the crops that are brought
in by farmers. A letter received yes
terday By one of our merchants from a
farmer Of Sussex county says the crops
throughout that county are the best
known for years. lie states that the
cotton-plants in hi. field are nearly SIX
feet in height, and cover the space be-
tween the rows-four feet apart. And
the peanut crop promises a splendid
Weld. lie adds one thing, however
that is not encouraging, and that is thai
since the lst Of July he has lost fifty
fine hogs from cholera-some Of then
weighing fully two hundred pounds.
