MARION, VA, June %, 1886.
Yesterday was Smyth County Court.
The usual number of drummers and
visitors from abroad were present.
County people were scarce, owing to the
fact that it was a day suitable to work
upon the farms. OF rain we have had
enough, and to spare. The wise ones
begin to predict drought in July and
August.
The court and bar passed resolutions
in reference to the loss sustained in the
death Of Judge John A. Campbell,
who practiced in this county. We
found in Judge Campbell model man
courteous, kind, and generous. We
will miss him as a man and as law
yer. lie was able and fearless.
Next spring being the time to elect
all the county officers, candidates are
coming out already. The usua "hand-
shaking" that precedeS an election is
noticeable.
Produce is cheap, and to live high is
not difficult thing to do now. Batter,
lard, and hams at 8 cents per pound
spring chickens from to 10 cents
apiece mutton and beef, the sweetest
that can be had, at 8 cents.
The tariff does not affect the farmers
and mechanics out here. We hear Of
it, but we do not feel it, the politicians
to the contrary notwithstanding. But
We are interested in one thing. The
educational bill that Congress is about
to let 60 by this session. We need
every dollar that can be had for educs-
tional purposes. II We had all that the
bill proposed to give it would not be
enough. Money and efficiency are what
the schools Of tho South need. 1t is a
shame that any member Of Congress
from the South should object to such an
appropriation as was offered by the
terms of the bill. The general well
fare Of the country should not be
jeopsrdized by technicalities.

The Common Council last night
adopted An ordinance fixing the rate Of
taxation for the next fiscal year at
s1.65 per slO0 of value. This is q
slight increase over the present rate.
The Democratic members Of the Coun-
Gil. evidently foreseeing q deficiency
before the close of the next year,
moved to make the tax sl.9O, but this
was voted down by the Republican ma
iority. The chairman Of the Finance
Committee stated that if all the taxes
we're collected the rate of sl.65 would
be sufficient to meet all the expenses Of
the city; but, unfortunately, the expe-
rience the past has shown considera-
BILE delinquent list every year.
The estimated expenditures of the
city for the next fiscal year are s2O3,0
This amount includes nearly sS7 900
for interest on bonds. 1t also includes
$4,000 for streets, gil ,424 for gas and
kerosene lights, GA, $50 for the police
department, and sl2, 900 for the public
schools.
An effort was made to increase the
salary of the Mayor from $1,000 to
$1,000, but this was defeated on the
score of economy.
The meeting Of the Council last night
was the last one Of the old body, and
before adjournment several Of the retir-

tories.
A colored man named Archie Quinn
was yesterday fined $50 by magis-

The statistics Of the various indus

The statistics Of the tobacco trade and

the peanut trade.
The city owns about 5000 shares Of
the common stock Of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company, which
there is some talk Of selling, providing
Q satisfactory offer can be obtained.
A few days of fair weather would
