Road to La Plata. public road to
La Plata is the most Travelled thoruughtare in
the county aud last winter was in the worst
condition it has been in lor m,rty years past.
A. the present tine it is filed @ith ugly holes,
made by carts and wagons hauling timber
aud tobacco to the Station. Time and again
has the attention Of the authorities been cali
ell to It's condition, but no work other thtu .
htJle patching has been done on it for two
years or more. The eloquent aiIusions o.
Senator Edelcu during the memorable cam
paign of S. to the sand pike made for the
convenience Of Republican residents along
this picturesque road seems to have frightened
every Democratic Board of Commissioners
from doing any thing towards keeping it in
its proper condition, and democratic cart and
wagon drivers have to suffer the annoyance
Of bad road, because energetic progressive
Republicans have bought land and built resi-
dences in the immediate vicinity.

4 CoI0red Mans Success,

A COlOred Mans Success. For twenty
three years in succession, Isaac Richmond, a
North Carolina colored man, has won the
prize in his neighborhood as the most skilful
curer of the tobacco leaf. lie has lust dispos-
ed Of his last years tobacco crop at So cents a
pound, which is at the rate of $500 per acre.
This successful colored planter owns an excel
lent plantation, but still remains with the
gentleman who formerly owned him. The
success of this colored man in proving his SUI
perority as successful tobacco planter. is
spleudid criterion for the colored farmers in
our own section. Whilst Maryland tobac-

siyen above, yet there are other products
which eau he successfully raised that viii
1ring prices equally as profitable provided
hose who engage in their culture have the
necessary knowledge aud skill. To all such
persons, there is great opening in this sec
