LEAKSVILLE NOTES,
| From the LeaksviNe Gazette. I

lESsna the LeaksviNe Gazette.l
We learn that the Farmers AL
lance has arranged to manufacture
tobacco at Irisburg next year.
Our physicians report diphtheria
among their patients in the vicinity of
Leaksville.
Miss E. L. Merrill arrived in
Leaksville last Thursday and has
taken charge of the music department
in the High School.
This has been a remarkably fine
season for curing tobacco and saving
fodder. There will scarcely be any
frost-bitten tobacco this year.
We learn with regret of several
losses of tobacco while curing. Mr..
Robt. Baughn, of Aiken Summit, Va.
lost barn last week, and it is report:
ed that Mr.. G. w. Bateman lost two.
In this vicinity Mr.. Robert Price lost
barn, as did also Messrs. Tom and
VIM. Roberts.
An esteemed correspondent at
Stockton writes us the particulars of a
homicide committed within two miles
Of that place last Saturday night.
There was party of some sort at
negro's house, and white man named
Dick Green was among the attend.
ants. Green trod on the foot of a
colored man named Hardin Manns,
when Manns shot at Green, but missed
him and killed a negress named Mary
Hairston. We regret that Manns'
bullet missed its mark, and that the
woman was killed.

could wade the Mississippi with a
steamboat ON his back, whip his weight
in wild cats, and ride streak of
lightning bare backed Davy is the
man who proposes to whip all the an
imals in menagerie, consisting of a
lion, parcel of monkeys and a zebra.
On a certain occasion he said he in
tended to speak in the House of Rep
resentatives, for he saw no reason of
being difident as he could fog any
man in it."
The fact that Davy produced evi
dence in refutation of the charges
made against him by the ''good Mr..
K, of Ohio," does not detract from
the interest of the story, In the sue
ceeding number of The Ariel no men
tion is made of Mr.. Crockett having
denied the above statements of the
Middleser Gazette, SO the present gen
Grafton must either accept them as
truths or account for non deuials of
them by Presuming that Mr.. Crockett
was not long in discovering that pub
lie servants are open to public criti-
cism, and that many stories are told
at their expense.
In this connection it may not be in
appropriate to relate an anecdote of
Davy which / remember to have read,
and which has been recently credited
to Tom Corwin, of Ohio:
Crockett was sitting in a hotel at
Washington in company with a num-
ber of other Congressman. A mem
Der from Massachusetts,, whose name
I do not remember, was standing in
the door. Turning to Davy, he called
out: "Crockett, here come some of
your constituents" Davy arose,
walked to the door and camly survey
ed a drove Of mules being driven
down the street
"Where are they going?" asked the
member from the Bay State.
"They are going to Massachusetts,
to teach school," replied Davy, with
out changing the expression of his
face. Crockett quietly took his seat
beside the stove again. He had turn
ed the joke. Let us hope that the
Massachusetts member was liberal
enough to treat"

GORDON AND LONGSTREET.
A Meeting Between the Lieutenants o
Lee and jackson.
[ From the Brunswick, Ca, Iimes.]

From the BRUNSWICK, Ca, Times.
Yesterday, while 1 was at the .:api-
tol Gov. Gordon came in. In his in
imitable style he began greeting
friends. In the midst of it all another
form came in view; the hair was
white, the beard of the same hue, the
eyes dim, the right arm trembling
with age and wounds.
"Why, General" said Gordon, II
am glad to see you"
"And ]" replied the other, Gam
glad to see you"
Gordon and Longstreet!
They were standing hand clasped
in hand. Lees old war horse and
Stonewall Jackson's worthy successor
standing heart to heart; the old 1st
and End corps once more side by side.
No politics there-no Democracy, no
Republicanism-only two soldiers
Their voices sounded less distinct than
usual-like the soft murmur of sum-
mer seas. Tears, too, c!ouded their
vision.
Other eyes also grew dim, for those
two represented, in the most tragic
hour, the Wilderness and Lees army.
Back again came the scene: The
light of May 5, 1864, has passed, and
from the "darkling woods' came the
sharp crack of the skrmisher's rifle,
groans, dying prayers. Each army
waited for the morrow. Longstreet
at Gordonsville, twenty miles away;
Hill hard pressed; Ewell only holding
his own; 10000 grays, 100000 blues;
Longstreet not yet up.
What of the morrow?
Down the line of Hill and Ewell's
troops is heard the cry: "Pass word
along that Longstreet is here!" From
the tangled depths of the Wilderness
mighty shout goes up, even the
wounded feebly answered back !:
<Longstreet is here!" Grand old 1st
army corps, brave old Longstreet, we
may differ in politics, but Second Ma
nassas is yours, the Wilderness is
yours, and amid the gathering gloom
of life's fading years, we dare deal you

old Republicans who Will see to IL
that "the son of his father" does not
go unsupported at the Republican
primaries next year. 1t will be Settle,
Reynolds. Goslen and others against
Brewer. Keogh, Boyd, Wheeler and
the postoffice henchmen, as they are
scattered through the district. Col
lector White, Of the Raleigh district,
is known to be under the influence of
Robert M. Douglas, son of the Little
Giant, and as Douglas is near kins-
mau of Settle, White will use his
officers in the counties of Brewers
district for Settle, and Eaves will do
the same.
Under these circumstances, the de-
feat 1sf Brewer for denomination is
certain, and the North State is paving
the way for Brewer to annouce his
candidacy without the aid of con-
vention, and run solely on his record
against the internal revenue, as en-
phasized by the hostility of the reve-
nue. officers. Last year Chairman
Quay wrote a personal letter to every
leading man in every township of
Brower's district urging and request
ing these men to support Brewer and
forgive him for his vote for the Mills
bill. He will not have this support
next year, as Mr.. Quay does not like
the "uppishness" that Mr.: Brewer has
lately exhibited in his talk about the
organization of the next House.
Brewer resembles very much the pic
x. cxl. C Il b,,,,:., nnl b;o
autocratic ways have given him, in
Washington and in his district, the
title of the Little Gar"
Brewer has done nothing for the
negroes of his district, and they are up
in arms against him. Notwithstand-
ing all these facts, Brewer believes
that he will be again elected to Con-
gress and that he will be elected Gov
nor in 1892. Bad as the condition
here is for Mr.. Brewer and the party,
it is not much worse than anywhere
else throughout the State.

From Wilmington Star Of 15th.]
Rev. DIR. Robey, who has been for
several days lowering between life and
death, was called from labor to rest
yesterday, at his hcme in Goldsboro,
where he was dearly beloved. AS a
faithful and Jealous minister of the
Methodist church, he was well-known
throughout the State. He was man
of positive views, of active brain, and
would make his impress felt OH any
body with whom he was connected,
but he was a worker in the Lords
vineyard, not for himself but for
others, and gave the labor+ of his life
that others might be blest, He has
gone to his reward.

THE BONDED DEBT.
State Auditor seibert's Statement In Con-
meet on With Proposed Changes.

JEFFERSON CrTY, Mo, April e.-Stats
Auditor Seibert has prepared the follow
Ing statement Of the bonded debt of Mis-
souri, and the reduction that win follow
the passage of the chapter ''of the treas
ury, F" including Senate bill No. 25e ''of the
treasury, cutting down the tax for inter-
est and sinking fund purposes from 70 to
10 cents on tue 500"
According to this levy the rate Of pay
ment Of the State debt will take the fol.
lowing course. making the debt at the be-
ginning OF the twentieth century 81. .2o4,-

Of $13, 197, ,0OJ on January 1, 1889. bearing
from 3H to per cont interest
A statement appended is designed to
demonstrate the adequacy of levy Of ten
cents on the 500 valuation to retire the
bonds as they fall due and to take up the
constitutional requirement Of $50 900 an
nually, when the amount falling due in
one year does not reach that amount and
to meet the annual interest as it accrues
and falls due. The total taxable wealth
Of the State, as shown by the assessment
made for The taxes Of 1889, is practically
1870 000 000 and il is but reasonable to as
sumo that am cunt will be materially In
creased during the period covered by this
statement. The measure of this increase
can best be approximatsd by comparison
with the actual increase during the past
ten years. In 1879 the total taxable
wealth of the State was 1855, 12O, ,0I0.
The increase necessary to swell this
sum to the amount of the present assess
ment Is mething over A per cent, or an
increase annually Of "A per cent To be
entirely safe the estimated increase upon
which this statement based is placed q.
2 per cent. per annum- 1t Is estimated
that the amount realized on merchants
and manufacturers' taxes will Offset the
delinquency and costs OF collection on tae
| current levi es, and that one-fourth OF the
levy for 1889 will be paid into the treas
ury In time for use during that year.
The bonded debt Of the State on Janu-
ary 1, 1889, is as follows:
