Combination is the best OF all novelty,
comedy and gift shows. This company

night Price of admission % and So cents.
The Norfolk landmark says of the COM
pany:
The show is made up of specialties, many
OF which were very good. The Hillyer5,
as the Living Marionettes," created a
great deal Of fun, and were alone worth
the price of admission. Burtine, in his
Egyptian Juggling. Charles Ward. in his
clog dance, Baby Barry, Hillyer and Bal
linger, in limitations and performance, on
numerous instruments, Barry and Ward, as
grOtesque comedians, and Russell, Win
chester and Harris, in their plantoingr graphs,
all came in for rounds Of applause. After
the entertainment those vino held lucky

We WILL GLADLY WELCOME HIM.-Mr.
r. Perry owner OF the Central Hotel
building has put a force of carpenters at
work to renOyate and repair the house.
Some needed Improvements are t. be made
and MI. j. 2. Massenburg of FranklingtOn
will take charge of the hotel the first of
January. Mr.. Massenburg is a competent
and experienced h0telist, and is popular
with the travelling public. Such an excel
lent mouse does he keep at Franklington,
and SO cleverly and hospi tably does he
entertain his guests, that travelling men
make it point always to put in Sunday at
his house if they happen to be any where
in striking distance, skipping both Raleigh
and Henderson to do SO. With a larger
and better house, and the advantage of a
market that supplies much greater vari-
ETY. Of articles, he will of course be enabled
to keep better house, and the GOLD LEAF
predicts that Massenburg's hotel at Hender-
son will soon have reputation among the
travelling public second to none in the
South. We will cordially welcome Mr..
Massenburg and his family as citizens of
Henderson.

An OUTRAGE.-The new schedule Of run
ming mail trains on the Raleigh q Castor
Railroad is an outrage upon the travelling
public and all persons along the line who
are served by it with the carrying of the
mails. Under the new order of things no
connection is made with the Coast Line
trains at Weldon, going or coming, and
passengers are subjected to great incOnven-
fence and expense as a consequence. Pa
pers from the North and from Wilmington
do not reach here now until the day after
publication, and have been coming very il
regular at that. How long will an out
ragged and indignant public have to put up
with this sort Of thing? The GOLD LEAF
does not believe in outside interference
upon general principles, but it appears to
us as if the way is being rapidly paved for
a Railroad Commission in this State. The
ob iect of the Seaboarl system is to force
Northern travel over the Bay Line route,
hence the cutting off in connecting with
the Atlantic COast-Line at Weldon. Such
SelfiShness is an abOminatiOn and an lmpO-
sition upon the public.

be the Hillyer & Ballinger Comedy Com
pany, which is to appear at Burwell Hall
for three nights next week, commencing
Mondhy night. The Norfolk Landmark
says of this company:

amusement was crowded again last night
with an audience that appeared, by the APP
plauSe it gave, To be greatly pleased with
the performance of the Hillyer and Bal
linger combination of novelties. The per-
Torrance went very smoothly, and the va
rious specialtieS, especially those Of the
HillyerS and Ballinger, were very we'll
worth the price of admission. The show is
one of the best of its Kind that has ever
visited the city. After the performance
the holders of the lucky tickets received
some very useful and handsome presents,
which were distributed with 4 liberal hand.

CHAPTER XIV.

A NIGHT OF STRANGE EVENTS.
The lamp left sitting On a table in the
Hartman house by Trean burned on steadily
hour after hour, but no one came. A little
cloud of firc-worshiping insects thro55ed
about it with faint purrlng murmur, and
criclets in the grass-fringe along the edge
Of the porch softly filed the silence. The
old clock on the smoky wall licked on as
steadily as the lamp burned, and so clearly
in the dead stiffness that \ tiny squeak was
discerniole In the turning of the wheels.
As each hour closed, it heraldcd the event
with beat and wh;rr so abrupt the little
cloud Of insects swayed to one side, and the
crioliets ceased their rasping. But in IN
instant silence had fallen. the insects were
back with tie lamp for a heart, and the
crickcts began 10 file in Rhythmic unison
again.
But no one came. The lives this room
had sheltered for twenty years were not TO
enter it again; on. into the darkness the
inherent tragedy Of the place had extended
as in a widening circle.
When the dusk of evening began to creep
up the rugged sides of Eagle mountain,
Eichard was writing busily in the little Of
fee By the mines, and when, G. length. the
sable sea rose TO the mighty prongs. and,

The Same day, in the afternoon, Paul
Elchard rode down through Emigration

garden of flowers and shrubs that lay be-
fore the house, now seeming rose, and
now lifting wistful eyes with hope of FL

perb. Elchard lifted his hat with thrill
Of pride and reverence, she looked 50 clear
and fair. In moment she had donned her
hat and vail, and they rode away toward the
mountains.
ssWc will have an hour to ourselves now,
darling" said Elchard, as they rode north
ward through the town. She gave him q
grateful look. Presently they passed the
Prophets residence, q large, square house
with double porch encircling two OF its
broad sides. and crowned with stone bee
hive. On its left another long building,
surrounded by high stone wall, was joined
to it. This was the Prophets harem, into
which he could pass from the main build
ing at his pleasure. Over the door lay
carved lion sncering at the world with
stony muzzle, much as the master snecred
with stony heart, while across tho street .
fine residence for his favorite wife was
coming to completion, and just beyond the
Prophets dwelling great gate, surmount-
ed by IN iron eagle, entered tho grounds.
Trean looked at it all with . shudder. To
her it was polluted spot, the homo Of
tyranny and shame; here, from this house,
had come the power which had crushed her

Then away to the lett and over some ragged
points, and up chaotic slide Of rock he

At Last he ICY on the summit OF the great

ABOUT CORN Rows.

No Field Il Properly Prepared Unless
They Are Straight Eseh Wsy.
The amount of seed to the hill should
be regulated somewhat bv the dis
lance between the rows Four and
one half. with three kernels, are nearly
equivalent to two kernels at three feet
eight inches apart. prefer the latter
distance and number Of kernels There
are quite good many reasons why ]
prefer this distance to any other. In
the first place. it divides the acre into
exact lines and spaces. corresponding
TO the divisions of the modern survey.
States are run out into parallel lines
or sections mile apart and these
section lines cross each other at right
angles. making a square section. =
mile on each side. This square makes
four square farms half . mile each
way. When these farms are properly
and naturally divided into fields again.
they will be either 80 or 40 rods In
length or width. A field 81 rods long
and 40 rods wide Is my ideal Now
when such field is marked out for
corn. at three feet eight inches apart be-
tween the rows. nine rows the long
way or eighteen rows the short way.
will make exactly an acre. II tho
hired man has cultivated seventy.two
rows the short way or thirty-six the
long way. you know he has gone over
four acres when he comes mp to dim
ner. II the corn is cut up nine hills
square. forty shocks anywhere in the
field will make just one acre. and four
shocks pulled together and husEed in
different parts of the field and meas
ured or weighed. will give one-tenth
the product Of corn per acre. There
il NO guess work. every thing IS
mapped out and every days progress
can be read. Nor is this all the adj
vantage. Every farmer who makes
any pretention to accuracy in his
methods. knows how impossible it is
to turn corn-sta'ks completely under.
unless the last furrow before turning
the row. comes up close to the hills.
and how impossible this latter task is.
when corn is planted so wide that
the furrow slices will not take 1t all
up between the rows or so mar
row that the plowman must scant each
furrow to gauge them properly. AT
the distance apart which I practice
and recommend. three burrows will
take all between the rows naturally.
with no undue effort either way. AMI
there is no necessity or excuse for
crossing The row in blowing. No corn
field is properly prepared for crop
unless the rows are straight each way.
l find my men take more delight and
interest in their work when there IS
some exactness required IF them. and
they see that they are doing work
properly, after some regular plan.
Working corn is practiced very dif-
ferently in different States. and We
must assume that there is reason for
method. especially when 1t is general
ly adopted so that question If cultiva-
ton will sooner reach uniformity. -
