TIE YALE or POCHUNK.
A Land OF Peace and FIeniy. Where the
Grows Are Full of " Wisdom,

Crows Are Full OF Wisdom.
In the region where the Pochunk
creek gropes its slothful way along the
western edge of Sussex county, to
eventually become an integral part Of
the great drowned lands of New Jersey
and New York, good farming land is
plenty, and the follower Of the pillow
grows fat and rich.
Nowhere, perhaps, in all the land Of
jersey, writes Ed. Mott in the New
York San, does the industrious and
mellihuous crow abound and appear
more thrifty than in Pochunck's garden
/ spot. Yet. prevalent and obtrusive as
the crow is in that section, none of
those iearlully and wonderfully made
efigies which the old-time farmer
fondly believed carried terror to the
soul OF the marauding crow is to be seen
guarding the cOrnfeld. The POchunk
farmer does not dangle carcasses OF
dead crows from networks of Irvine to
convey to the minds of live ones the
alarming impression that the dead birds
were caught and hanged while visiting
the field to undo the planters work
nor does he hang gyrating fragments of
dazzling tin from lofty poles to awaken
suspicion in the prowling deyastator Of
the corniield. | suggested to a repre-
sentative Pochunk tiller Of the soil that
these facts were odd.
"l-a-a-s," said he, " it does look so.
But We used to set up the scarinest o.
all scarecrows, an run miles an miles

crow or two to hang on the strings;
an the hunks o. tin we used to tie TO

county. But when we took to seem

on the scarecrows an tearin' their

the dead crows from the strings an

stuck to the swingin' an clat-

if the crows didn't take to settin' on

they'd throw the reflection o. the sun

a resolution to sell the tin fur old iron,

SANDY CREEK, Va, July IL, 'S5.
Five years ago visited this good old
county. To-day | an here again, and
as ride through the country and note
the changes that FIVE years have wrought,
it is hard to realize that anything less
than magician's wand could have so
transformed things. And it is magic
that has done it, the magic Of gold, the
product Of their golden yellow tobacco
that you may now see piled in bright
heaps, or hanging like yellow clouds in
every barn you pass, or meet twenty
times a day on the market roads, neatly
packed high in covered wagons going to
Danville, OF South Boston, or Glover,
where the auctioneer finds quick sales
and large profits for the well-pleased
planter.
THE CASH VALUE
of these changes IN property IN Halifax
cannot be disputed when it is known
that the assessment Of property in the
county, just completed by Messrs.
Charles c. Darlington and W. NJ.
Barksdale, shows an increase Of over
100000 since 1880. OF this sum,
$4,000 is the increase in the
South-Boston district, where a new
town has sprung up within the
time named, and where also more
yellow tobacco is made than in
the other two districts Of the county.
There are many fine new business
houses and a number Of handsome resi-
dences, while the value of land all over
the county has advanced more and faster
than in almost any other county in the
State. In some sections land has adj
vanced in five years from $3.50 and s.
per acre to sl2, sl5, $50, and $25, and
in many instances it has gone much be-
yond those figures.

PENSION FOR CONFEDERATE SOL
DIERs.-No Northern soldier will
blame the States of Georgia and
South Carolina for awarding relief
to the manned survivors of the
Confederate army. The aid so far
given is but little, being limited III
North Carolina to $50 annually,
and no person with an income OF
$500 or $500 worth of property, can
derive any benefit from the act.
One negro member OF the North
Carolina Legislature voted for the
bill, after inkoducing a just amend
ment, which was adopted almost
without a dissenting vote, to the
effect that negroes who were
wounded on the breaSt-works, or III
the service of their masters, during
the war, should share in the help
extended. The total amount ap-
propriated is $4,000 a year, a con
siderable sum for such an impover'
ished State, 1t is an example fol
the States of the North, who, al
though relieved by the national
government from the duty of pro
viding pensions tor the disabled
a do something toward making
comfortable the closing years o.
worn out veterans of the UniOn.-
