EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Our farmers have
not done much for the past few days, but
Judging from the way some OF us walk
about our tobacco fields you would think
that we are broke down by hard toll The
heavy rains have put long faces on us all.
Our cultivated fields are badly washed,
and tobacco is not growing to please us by
any means New land is doing fairly well
but old land tobacco has turned yellow
and stopped growing.
The Farmers Alliance which meets here
once a month is growing In membership
will be the strongest in the county.

the afternoon and are we'll attended. The
membership is something over hundred.
Fishing and pic-nicing is the talk Of the

ing for the watermelOns to get ripo. but
fear we will not have enough to satisfy the
crowd. The heavy rains have done the
work for them. Half the vines are dead
and dying. and in few days your town
will be full of three and five cent melons.
There is a great deal of travelling by
here. 1t would surprise you to see the
number of wagons pass here loaded with
tobacco-many camping here and along the
road. Wagons loaded with cotton will
soon be as numerous as tobacco wagons
Every commercial traveller and agents oil
every kind passing through the country

OBITUARY..

"Budded Oh earth to bloom in heaven"
God, through his good wisdom, called from
earth to heaven little Charlie, son of }. &.
and LOttie II. Bacon. He died at half-past
one o'clock on the morning of the 10Th of
July, at the residence of & l.. Lewis,
where his mother was on visit to her
brother. He was three years, two months
and ten days old.
He was devoted to his parents, and never
complained. He was sick for several days,
but no one thought he was so near his
heavenly home but God knowing best
what is best for us-called him to rest with
the angels in heaven. He was young, and
we know it is hard to be separated from
our loved ones. When we look into the
future we see nothing but darkness until
we are called, as little Charlie" to enter
the home which God has prepared for those
ments'' He was a beautiful child, and
had the finest countenance the writer ever
saw on face SO young as his. We know
it is hard for his parents to give him up,
but they should remember he has been
taken from land Of sin and suffering to
one Of pleasure and happiness.
On Saturday his body was carried to
Chase City, the home of his parents, and
inferred in the cemetery. Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom Of heaven. -

The Jurisdiction OF Magistrates.

Says the Charlotte Daily Meas:
The belated copies of the laws passed
by the last legislature have at last come
to hand and the magistrates find that
in consequence of a misunderstanding,
they have been exceeding their jurisdic-
ton in important particulars. 1t was
understood among the lawyers aud mag
istrates, from newspaper reports, that
among the acts passed by the legislature
was one giving them final jurisdiction
over cases of assault with deadly weapons
where no damage was done. They have
been acting accordingly, but they find
since the laws have been issued that no
such jurisdiction is accorded them. The
sole extension OF final jurisdiction granted
the magistrates is in the following cases ::
Section go, abandonment of wife and
children; 972, failure to provide for fami-
ly; 1854, neglect of duty by overseers !;
1901, peddling without license; 1115,
hunting on Sunday; 2S11 ,missappropria-
ton of money by impounder of live stock ;
1919, receiving or releasing live stock !;
1890, injuring fences or leaving gates
open in live stock districts; 1927, live
stock at large; 1928, trespassing; 1898,
willfull driving or riding stock over cult
waited lands. 1t is important for magis-
trates to be informed on these matters.

way Of the advent of this rival for pub

The Landmarks doesn't feel that it has
any exclusive rights in this territory and
consequently has no feeling that the heus
is an intruder. We hope it will do we'll
There will be no quarrel between it and

papers do not get along agreeably at all
times it will not be the fault of this one.

WHAT ADvERTIsISG DOEs.-Judjcious
advertising creates many new business,
enlarges many an old business, reviye,
many dull business. rescues many a lost
business, saves many a failing business,
preserves many a large business, secures
success in any business. This il worthy
the attention of every business man. And
as no town can live without live news
paper, it therefore follows that every bus
mess man-largc or small-should show
some appreciation of his town paper
either by subscribing for it, or placing an
advertisement in it. The wide awake
local editor tries to boom every shop or
line OF business in his town; but it helps
his memory wonderfully to know that
his efforts are appreciated-and there is
no better way to do this than by liberal
dvertiSing.-W arrenton Gazette.
