In furtherauce Of BIS plan to establish fraud

Chesterfield county, fell from his wagon at
the Old market to-day aud badly fractured
his right leg.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
Most OF the tobacco now coming into mar
ket Is frost. bitten and OF inferior quality.
For such there is but little demand, and
prices are low.
Tue peanut crop in this section is repre-
seuted a. being not only short IN quantity
but indifferent in quality. This is the money
ed crop N the counties east OF Petersburg.
and its failure Of course means disaster TO the
farmers.
Efforts have time and time again been made
by our merchants to induce the railroad au-
thorities centTiug here 10 erect grain eleya-
tor, but so far without success. The argu-
meut has been adv need, and not without
good grounds that Petersburg, the centre OF
the great lines Of railroad running north aud
south and east and west, and the location,
too, OF large and impO rtant mills, would be an
admirable point for a large gam elevator.
The probability is that this fact may be fully
appreciated in the near future, aud the ele-
vatOr become an established need.
