Uutil Tuesday, Nancy Mills, a we'll
known colored woman of Fairfax county,
has been missing for some time past, and
her absence gave rise to much alarm
among her friends. The general supposi-
ton was that she had been fouly dealt
with. An inves tgation was made, aud
it was learned that she had had diff
Guilty with a cOlored man named Stephen
Cross. On this information a warrant
was issued for his apprehension and
placed in the hands of constable who,
with posse, started Saturday to make
the arrest Cross, in the meantime, bad
fortified himself in his house and barri-
caded the doors, and as the posse came up
opened fire on them from window. The
fire was returned and kept up for some
time during which three of the attacking
party were slightly wounded. Crosss
ammunition finally gave out when he
was captured and lodged in the Fairfax
Jail. About this time colored preacher
in that neighbOrhood dreamed that the
woman was dead and was buried in a
manure heap near the house Of Cross
He made known his dream on Monday
and with a number Of persons went to
look tor the body. The manure heap was
found just as seen in the dream, and upon
search b cling made the body of the woman
was disco yered under the heap with bel
throat cut from ear to ear. 1t has been
learned that after the quarrel Gross
killed the woman and dragged her body
into some bushes where he hid it. He
intended to bury the body in a grave, but
afterwards concluded to place it under the
manure heap.

Give Us Better Roads.

Last week our attention was called TO
an item from an agricultural paper which
we published with hasty COMMENT
Since then we have made inquiries INTO
the condition Of the county roads. with
the exception of the Valley Turnpike
and several short strips we find our roads
are in bad condition. In a number oil
instances where there is great deal OF
travel they are lmost impossible. This
condition Of our highways should be
remedied, and the sooner the better As
breakage of his vehicles and his inability
to reach the market in one year than be
would be taxed to have them put IN
a good condition. To better the condition
of our roads a different system must be
brought about. The present way Of road
mending consists in each farmer working
for several days that portion of road
near him. The work done consists Of
ditching and throwing the DIRT from them
on TO the road bed. OF course the first
rain washes the dirt back into the ditch
and continued rain together with the
steady travel soon make them almost i'm
passable. This mode of working the
highways originated in colonial times
when our country was thinly settled and
ira fic was nothing to be compared with
now.
The farmers in or der to bring this i'm
provement about must take the matter in
their own hands. The State has had a
entury in which to do something in this
direction and what has it done-nothing.
1t does not appear that they are likely
to do anything very soon. Let them get
together in a county mass meeting and
there show the proper parties. whether
they are State or county officials, that
they are tired of such roads and intend
TO have better Let them state their will
ingness to stand heavier tax for several
years so as to secure the improvement.
In the south western part Of the State
the people are awake on this subject and
do not intend to stop until some reform is
brought about. Why not do likewise in
Shenandoah In Pennsylvania where
the roads are much better than ours, the
governor is urging upon the legislature
the necessity of improving the condition
of the country roads. THE history Of
civilization says Governor Beaver, lis
the history Of roads"

We have always maintained that adj
vertising pays, and farther that the
HERALD was a good medium, but quite
recently our assertions on this subject
have proven well founded. Last week
we placed atwo-lIne local in these columns
stating that the wintry wea Their which we
are accustomed TO experience at this
season had either strayed or had been
stolen. When we wrote that item the
weather was as balmy as May day, and
little did we think that our call would be
reward ed so soon. We bad come to the
conclusion that the cold weather then
due had been waited to the ends of the
earth, and supposed we could safely in
dulge in q little sport at its expense
without fear of retrbutlOn. But such
was not the case, for before the paper had
reached many Of our country subscribers,
it became evident that our notice would
be rewarded. On Saturday the tempera-
ture changed from that of spring TO win
ter, and early Sunday morning 1t began
to snow in regular way back style. On
Monday morning snow had stopped fall
ing and the mercury was rapidly descend
ing. All week it has been lowering around
zero. As we have said before we did not
think Gen Greedy wOuld see the item and
answer it, but to all we have thus Of
Tended, we ask their pardon. The ice
men, no doubt, are laughing in their
sleeves, over the condition of affairs the
item has brought about. Let them not
forget us next summer when the mercury
is playing around one hundred. 1t they
do we will certainly keep standing ad.
for cold weather. and from the recent
experience what will be the consequences
no need of ice. In closing we want
to say q word TO our merchants You
have Just noted what returns two.llne
local will bring. Why not try the same
means to increase your trade. We are
sure Your reward will equal that Of our
item. Try our columns and be convinced
