Do Not PLANT A LARGE CROP OF To-
BACCo THIS GEAR.-We fear many of the
tobacco farmers are going to make mis-
take by planting large crop of tobacco
this year. An overcroe means low prices,
and it is needless to say that such a course
would be suicidal. The Richmond Whtg
says on this subject:
The experience of last year, when a
small crop was raised, c0ntraSted with the
/ few heavy-crop years just preceding,
/ should be enough to convince the tobacco
/ planters of the folly of "overdOinC the
/ thing. There are great risks to run in
+ making large crops OF any one product :
among them, the risk of unfayOrable sea
sons and, above all, of depression in prices.
Such risk the planters of the tobacco sec.
tons are at the present time in poor condi-
ton TO assume.
/ LITERARy.-In the American NIqnsint
for May, William Elroy Curtis will begin
series of illustrated articles on The
Oldest American Cities" The first paper
will deal largely with Carthagena which
was the first city founded on the continent
although several colonies had previousl,
been established on nearby islands and a
fortress had been built at Panama. Til,
city became the rendezvous of the Spanish
galleonS that went to South America 70
treasure, and consequently a most tempting
held for pirates. Incidents in relation I
these, together with the descriptions O
the large churches, palaces and othe
buildings, afford great scope for an articl
of this character, and Mr.. Curtis has take
full advantage of the opportunity.

The CONCERT LAST EvENING.-1he en-
tertainment Of the Henderson Musical AS
ISOLATION at Burwell Hall last evening, |
when the beautiful Cantata, The Flower |
Queen. or the Coronation of the Rose,
was presented, was The most success III |
and pleasing thing of the kind our people |
have yet been treated to by home talent. |
The performance was good all through, |
but the coronation march in which nearly
a hundred little girls and ladies took part,
was simply grand. The children acted
their parts we'll, and the ladies who took
part perhaps never appeared to better adj
vantage. The tableau scenes were very
pretty and formed very striking feature
of the evenings entertainment. The au
dience last night was by far the largest one
we have seen in Burwell Hall to witness
any performance other than Of a free ma
! ture, and we have not seen more thor
oughly appreciative and well pleased one.
| In fact so highly delighted did ali appear
to be that by special request the perform
ance will lie repeated Friday evening with
Slight changes in the programme.
! Following Is Sl HopSlS Vi l1S CaHtdtd,

| The Flowers meet in a secluded dell in the
forest, to choose their Queen. A person
disconnected with the world, seeks, in the
same place, retirement from its cares and
ldisappointments. The Flowers tell of
love and duty ; and the Notwithstanding
that to fill we'll the station allotted by
Providence, is to be happy-resolves to
return again to usefulness and content

Monday morning after brief Illness. He
lived here with T. ". Ford & Co., at one
time when they were manufacturing to-
bacco, and came back after Allen & Gin
ter's establishment was built and obtained
employment there. 1t seems that no one
knows where he came from or what place
he claimed as his home, and neither relations
nor friends outside of those he had made
here could be found when he died. De-
ceased was about 50 years old, quiet and
peaceable, and had the respect of those
with whom he came in contact. In looking
through his effects to learn if possible
something of his former history and con-
nections, commission as Lieutenant in the
