HOMES FOR THE oFFIcE-HoLDERs.
A Great Building Boom In Alexandria

A Great Building Boom in Alexandria
County-Increased Drunkenness.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
ALEXANDRIA, October q, 1890.
Alexandria county has building boom
on now, and large number of houses
are going up in different sections of the
county. About the village OF Ballstone
some sixty houses are in the course Of
erection, and Carlin's Springs, Nauks-
vile, Arlington, and other places in the
county all show the rame improvement
The boom is not forced one by real
estate spectators, but is the outgrowth
of an Increasing desire on the part OF
Washington office-holders to own their
own homes, and as it is impossible for
men of limited means to purchase q
home in Washington city they have pur-
chased lands in Alexandria county and
are putting up their bones.
THRIVING AND PRETTY.
The village OF Fall Church, about
nine miles west of this city on tho line
of the Washington and Ohio railroad, is
settled entirely by this class of people,
and a more thriving and pretty little
place could not be found in the State.
Alexandria city, too, is feeling the effects
of the high price of Washington real
estate, as large number Of oflice-holders
have bought homes in this city and aid
much in its prosperity. All the COM
mons on the northwestern edge of the
town have been bought up and are now
being laid of in streets, and In short
while an auction sale Of the lots will
take place.
THE USUAL REsULT-MoRE DRUNKENNESS.
1t is a mooted question here whether
the recent crusade against the liquor
dealers for selling on Sunday and the
closing them up on that day has not done
more harm than good Before the re-
form was inaugurated it was not an I'M
common thing for the Mayors Court TO
have no cases for trial at all on Monday
mornings, and such cases as it did have
were generally Washington people who
came down here drunk and tried to
run the town. Now it il a regu-
lar thing Tor the Mayor to have
large number of cases before him on
Monday mornings, and nine tenths Of
them for drunkenness. The police say
that nearly every man arrested on Satur-
day night or Sunday now has bottle Of
whiskey in his pocket, and explain the
increase in the number OF arrests by say
ing that when man wanted q drink be-
fore the restaurants were closed he went
in one, got his drink. and stopped now
he gets bottle ON Saturday night, and
having paid for it feels in duty bound to
drink it all, and before he knows it is
drunk.

NASHVILLE, TENN, October GA

they will never forget. They were

rock wall one hundred feet high. on the
other precipice OF one hundred feet,

Strong calls are making for Hon. W.
Fl. kitchen from many parts OF this dis
trict The people want him in the field
for Congress. IL the committee should
reconsider the matter and bring him out
he would make a vigorous and perhaps
successful campaign.
News comes from BERTHE county that

less about registering. 1t is said that
not more than q two-third vote will be
cast in that county by either party.
By an accident on the Scotland Neck

TO MAKE GOOD 81, 900.
The postmistress at Halifax has at last
been shown up. A few days ago her
bondsmen had to make good something
more than 81, 900 for her. Some of the
bondsmen were white and some were
colored. They were said to be q sick
crowd when they learned that they had
to fork over the money. And yet the
Government retains the postmistress III
| Office.
PROUD OF HIN.
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, d. D., of
New York, who will speak next week at
the Weldon Fair, is billed for several
lectures in this State. All North Caro-
| lima is proud of her youthful divine,
| who has made such wonderful strides to-
wards national popularity in so short a
time.
HOME INDUSTRY.
A good example is set by some OF the
farmers of this county, who raise sheep
and have their own clothes made from
the wool off their own sheep. They
send their wool to Leaksville, In this
State, have it manufactured into beauti-
full, heavy goods, and then make it into
clothes. Your correspondent saw q
farmer wearing a handsome suit oil
clothes few days ago that cost him
81 80, and like suit ordered from New
York or Philadelphia would have cos
him $3.50.

SCARED BY A NEEDLE.

A CoIored Man Refuses TO Have n Slight
Surgical Operation Performed.
Last evening William Brown, colored
man who lives at No. 5 Clark street, was
passing down Fifth avenue, and when op-
posiUe the Court House he encountered a
man, who objected to Brown staring at
him in such vigorous manner, that the
colored mans upper lip was cut open.
Officer Wagner brought the colored man
to the Central station and DR.. Meyer was
sent for to sew up the lip. Every prepa-
ration had been made for the
work, and Mr.. Brown was seated
in a chair when suddenly he took a
notion that he would like to see needle
with which the sewing was to be performed.
DIR. Mover and the officers explained to the
colored man that everything was all right
and he would be fixed up in five minutes,
but this did not satisfy him, and finally he
was shown the needle. The sight of the
needle settled all doubts in Mr.. Browns
mind, and, as he bounced from the chair, he
remarked: II just leave that lip the way
she is"
No amount of persuasion could induce
him to change his mind, and as result he
will be marked for life.
