100000 was paid to farmers who sole

time mentioned, from Aug. LIST to Sept
21st. That this market is long way
ahead of any other in this part OF TIL
State in the number of pounds sold ant
the amount of money paid out for tn
same, admits of no question of doubt
That fact has long since been settled b,
the records-railroad receipts, warehous
books and bank checks. The figure
are put down in plain black and whit

Cooper's warehouse has been in exist

amount OF money paid out annually t
the tobacco planters of this section ia
exceeds that of any other man.

Map of the Town.

The Board of Commissioners at their
last meeting authorized advertisement
to be made for bids for survey and map
of the town. This ought to have been
done long time ago. Then much
confusion and irregularity about the
opening of new street,, titles to certain
properly, &C., would have been avoid
ed. Such work to be well and accu-
rately done will necessarily be slow
and tedious it appears to us and will OF
course be expensive, but we are of the
opinion that it will be money we'll
spent in the long run. AS it is now
whenever person wants to open up
a piece of property he cuts street
through it to suit himself, without re-
gard to whether or not it ends abruptly
in the rear of another mans premises.
This ought not to be so but it will until
a proper survey is made of the town
and future streets are mapped out.
Since it has been determined that a
work of this kind shall be undertaken
! Capt. J. B. White who is an old anC
practical civil engineer and surveyor has
shown us scale and drawing of how
the work should be done according to his
plan. 1t is that not only the exac
bearing of the various streets be given
but the size. dimensions and loca tio1
of each separate lot shall be ascertain
ed and record made of it in bool
kept for that purpose. In addition tt
this the name of the owner togethe
with the taxable value of the propert,
would also be registered the same des
ignated by number. The idea is yer.
simple and such plan would certainly
be useful and effective, though it woul
require considerable time to com
plete it in all its details.

The WarrentOn Burglars Caught.

For the last two months reign of
terror has existed in and around War
renton, on account of the number and
manner of burglaries committed. Peo-
pie were afraid to 60 to sleep without a
pistol under the pillow or double bar
rel shot gun placed within convenient
reach, and the females would hear to
no such thing as the men folks going
from home after dark. Every effort
was made to capture the burglars bu:
without success. Finally a clue was
got, however, and an organized party
went in search of one Tom Mitchell,
colered, and captured him Monday.
He was lodged in Jail and since then
has implicated others. Three more Of
the gang have been caught and are now
in jail with their leader and companion
in crime, and it is expected that the
fifth and last one Of the band will be
apprehended also.

a pair of horsos attached to wagon
created considerable excitement and
did some damage on Main street Tues
day. They ran into r. A. Payne's mar
etwagon in which two boys were seated
at the time and overturned it. Beyond
upsetting it and soaring the occupats no
damage was done. A short distance
further J. w. Beck's horse was stand
ing tied. The tongue or some portion
of the vehicle attached to the runaways
struck the animal on the tleshy part of
the left hind leg making terrible
wound. The skin was torn off on a
place about as large as a mans hand
and cut three or four inches deep was
made in the flesh. The wound was
dressed by Chief of Police Switzerland
and the horse will probably be well
again in two or three months. The
runaway team belonged to Billy Green.

Died..

Eugene Tucker, only son Of Mr.. j..
B. Tucker, died at his home in this
place Tuesday night, of consumption.
He had been sick several months but
his most intimate friends did not
realize that his end was SO near and
the announcement of his death was
painful surprise to many. Deceased
was a quiet, steady and industrious
young man, of kindly nature and pleas
ant disposition, and was highly esteem
ed by those who knew him. He was
between Is and 10 years of age, and
for the past year and a half had been a
member of the Presbyterian church
from which the funeral was held yes
terday morning. The remarks of Rev
Alex Sprunt, the pastor, touching the
life and character Of the deceased were
full of tender pathos. Eugene was
kind, dutiful and atfectionate son ant
brother, and his early death is sor'
I affiiction to his father and sisters. Thu
remains were taken to Oxford for in

Proposition to Build Water Works.
Much has been said about building a
system of water works in Henderson,
and while one or two surveys have
been made and experts have been here
to look over the situation and confer
about the matter, up to the present
moment the town continues to "draw'
its water supply from holes in the
ground as heretofore. And when such
thing as fire occurs, why we just
run to those same holes in the ground
and procuring a few buckets full of
water hastily dash it on the burning
building and then thrust our hands in
our breaches pockets and stand off and
see her burn But we hope it will
not always be so. Mr.. w. H. Bosley,
of the firm of John S. Cuttings & Co.,
bankers, Baltimore, was in Henderson
last week to see about establishing
water works here. He conferred with
several prominent business men, town
officials and others on the subject anG
