preceding week with the usual large pro-
portion Ct low grades and tunked condition.
In red smokers there was even less ANNA

At last weeks decline. On the other hand,
bright smokers were very strong at quota

illers were in small supply. very firm and

tines Of the better grades as high as at any
lime this season. and offerings Of good and

With good color, scarce and unchanged,
common to medium being strongest.
Funked tObaccOs very dull and nominal.
Darks.-O offerings Of all kinds at auction
very light, with no improvement in the
market generally, arising more from the
want Of desirable Regie sorts. now pretty
well Cleaned up in this market, and the
bulk Of that here being what very few
people want. Prices nearer inside figures
This week. The sales privately this week
embraced 22S hOgsheads 1889 crop ~

crop dark leaf and Tugs, and hurley Tugs.
Weather and New Crop.-The fine warm
weather in the early part Of the week
changed to very cold and rainy, causing the
balance Of the crop to be cleared off the
fields. BY such changes in the weather
the crop in the house, as well as on the
scafiolds, has continued to be damaged more
n less, with an increase in the reports 10
that effect, said to be to the extent OF
-wenty-tive per cent. in the upper hurley
counties. In the dark stemming districts
the damage is less. Henderson county re-
porting that there will be none damaged by
house burning.

EDINBURG ITEMS.

Our good shoemaker friend, Benz. HlSey,
IS quite sick of fever. His many friends
are anxious for his speedy recovery.
Cant. G. j. Grandstaff is here on a
weeks visit. We are ever glad to grasp
the hand of the Capt. Notwithstanding he'
in his affluence, may treat us lndifierently
and with little appreciation.
Miss Mary Ellen, daughter OF Lewis
Pence, near this place, died on last Mon
day evening, 2lst inst, at the age OF -
years, months and "a DAYS. Ella was
kind, affectionate and dutiful daughter.
Truly a vacancy will be left in this fam
lily not easily filled. We earnestly SYM
pathize with the bereayed family in their
sore affection.
We learn that few evenings since one
of our very best young men went to the
country, against the advice of jamie, and
brought to town fair young lady visitor.
When the hour of departure came to his
chagrln he found that he had better have
needed the advice of jamie However,
Ed. says, as a general thing he Is not
particularly fond of Green(s.)
We notice that the officials of the cor
poratlon of Woodstock have again made
public a statement of their financial
standing, expenditures, receipts, &c. We
believe this is done annually with them
Can't we, of Edinburf. afford to show
up, at least once in ten or twenty years
Let us have it now, that we may see how
much was added to the treasury by the
fines of the late Dutch and Native
trouble.

Several weeks ago we published an
article in which we blamed Col. Hill, the
Virginia railroad Commissioner with
trying to have the time of morning
train on the Valley Branch, b. & o. rail-
road changed so as to connect with
train on the c. Il o. X. X. at Stanton.
The proposed change would cause this
train to pass through the Valley at such
an early hour of the morning as to de-
stroy It's convenience as an early passen-
ger or freight train for the people of the
entire Valley. We have since learned
that the demand for this change came
from the Chamber of Commerce of Rich
mond instead of Col. Hill. who IS in no
way responsible for the demand. Now
we are anxious to see our Richmond and
East Virginia friends have all the con-
yenient railroad connections they can
possible need, but we do not want to see
the people of our entire Valley put to
great Inconvenience aud loss by the pro-
posed change in this early train. We
hope the railroad management can ar
range so as to run one of its trains on such
time from Staunton 30 that the Richmond
and East Virginia travel can come down
the Valley without being put to the loss
of time aud money by an all night deten-
ton at Stanton.

Long drives of two or three weeks

Chief Engineer Williamson. Mrs. RiAey
ACCOMPANIES her husband. Passed As
si,tant Engineer b ,ird and Mrs. Baird

same country, and other officers co tenn
plate putting in their vacation IN this
way. The Valley Of Virginia is truly the
garden spot of America, aud this fact Is
rapidly becoming known to the people oil
the great cities. IT, will not be many
years before We will see 1t filled with
visitors from all parts of the land as
the fame of It's great beauty becomes
more widely advertised.

Why not fix the pump at the court
house square There is no sense in max
ing people bang out their lIvers and lights
every time they want water. We are
satisfied that the bad condition Of this
pump is responsible for much of the
drunkenness we see around us every day.
Only last evening we heard three fellows
who were loaded down to the waters
edge with the "Old stuff, +" say that they
tried to get water at the court house
pump but after knocking out their breath
at the handle without getting drop they
Just pitched into beer and whiskey in

Several boys of this place, who seem
anxious to be known as toughs, are in
fair way to fall severely into the hands of
the law. Some days ago they went to
the residence OF Mr. Levi McInturf, on the
river near town, and at once proceeded to
show what young rascals they were by
wantonly killing number of Mr.. Mcln-
turff's ducks. When charged with their
mean conduct by Mrs. McInturff they
poured out yolley of filthy abuse that
would have done credit to the vilest
horde of roughs that ever emenated from
Five Points in New York. We have their
names, aud the next time their vile con-
duct is reported to this Office we will sur
prise their parents by publishing them
while the law will doubtless invite them
up to pay heavy fine to keep them Out
of Jail.

DALLAS, July 14.-The Times. Herald
has a special from New Birmingham, an
nouncng the killing of Gen. w. H. Ham
man at that place this morning, by S. c.
Coouey, a retail grocery merchant. Gen.
Hannah was noted lawyer and planter

dicted for slandering the wife of COoney
and last week obtained continuance of
the case

and was met by CoOney who killed him
with a double barreled-shot gun. Mob
law Is threatened.
Mrs. COOney is niece of Hon. l. B.
Wheeler. Hannah was noted green
back politician some years ago.
The above is all the news we have so
far received of what we believe to have
been a cold blooded and dastardly muir

friends of William II. Hsmman will be-
lieve that he knowingly or willfully
slandered a woman. He was native of
this county, was born few miles west Of
Woodstock, graduated at the Virginia
Military Institute, studied law and was
admitted to the Woodstock bar. In 1858
he went to Texas where his fine mind and
brilliant attachments soon brought him
into prominence. When the war broke
out he came to Virginia as an officer IN
the celebrated 4th Texas Infantry, II
which command he greatly distinguished
himself until after the battle OF Gettys-
burg, when he returned to Texas and
raised a brigade which he commanded
until the close of the war. Gen. Ham
man was a ripe scholar, an able and
brilliant speaker and one Of the leading
lawyers of his adopted state, His age
was about 60 years. We hope to have
fuller particulars of this terrible muir
der for our next issue.
