Leon Alexander, of Philadelphia,
arrived at Accomacs G.. f., to-day,
with n large line of men and boys
cheap clothes, and can be found n
Market square. He WIS here la t
year, as the ;Johnstown Jew, comes
to stay only few days, but while
here proposes to sell so cheap, that
no one who wishes for a dollar or so
to buy ten dollars worth or more of
clothes can afford to pass him by.

Card.

To the Citizens of Accomack County
1t is very evident that there is a
wide spread dissatisfaction with the
present public road system of this
county. This is made specially APP
parent by the resolutions adopted at
the last Democratic Convention, by
the action of the PENINSULA ENTER
PRISE, and by the report of the re-
cent meeting held at Atlantic, to dis
cuss the subject. The resolutions
adopted by the convention simply
, demanded a change and the use of
late mechanical appliances in con-
STRUGGLING and keeping in repair the
roads The editorials of the ENTER
PRISE also demand change, and
call upon the representatives of this
county in the Legislature to make it.
The meeting at Atlantic alone made
any suggestions as to what changes
were wanted. 1t is expecting too
much of the members of the Legisla-
ture, to think that they can draft a
road law to give satisfaction to the
people of the county, when the only
suggestion made is q change. All
changes are not advances in the right
direction. 1t is expecting us to make
bricks without straw, if we are not
told what the people want. With a
view to the passage of new and
suitable road law, which would en-
body the views of q majority of the
citizens of this county, l would re-
specially make the following sug-
gestions: That the voters meet at
each voting precinct of this county
and pass resolutions setting out their
views as to what road legislation
they desire. That at the same time
they appoint delegates. say one for
every one hundred registered voters;
10 meet at some central point on a
cert.in day. That the Beard of
Supervisors, the attorney for the
Commonwealth and the county
Judge, ioflicers especially convelsant
with the road nee Is of the county)
be invited to meet with these dele
gates. That This convention of dele
CATS and Ulcers agree upon pro-
visions of - law. That the county
Judg and attorney fo- the Common
wealth draft such u law and forward
it to the members of the Legislature.
IT this is done in time / will agree
that it shall pass the Senate. Un'css
some concert OF action is taken to
express tie views and wants of the
people. there will probably be no
change. Ifmy suggestions gre acted
upon, I have NJ inu@t the ! i'll which
may be forwarded to Richmond, will
be the law of this county in u very
short time. make these suggestions
only with vjcwof obtaining road
law which will be acceptable. to the
people.
lam with respect,

RESOLUTIONS of Respect.

To the memory of Levin T. Brad
ford, late member of Keller Farmers
Alliance.
Resolved, That while we submit in
Christian meekness 10 the infinite
wisdom of Him who in his divine
providence has saddened our hearts
by removing from time to eternity
our worthy brother, in the early morn
of his life at 20 years of age, with
equal earnestness do we mourn our
loss, which is his gain, by passing
from world of anxious thought to
that Of perfect bliss.
?. That we extend to his deeply af-
flicted family our warmest sympathy
in this their sad bereavement, of d
kind and affectionate husband, an
indulgent father, and a worthy asso-
ciate in our Alliance.

FROM SAMOA.

Tamasese, who was in bad health
for some time, died Friday, April II
while being carried from his boat
house to his house at Lufluf, on his
return from Aleipata. He was about
sixty-one years old.
The funeral was conducted very
quietly, goodly assemblage being
gathered from Lufiluti and Saluafata,
together with a number of the chiefs
and taipule from all parts of the isl
ands. The ceremony was conducted
by the London Mission Pastor Pa
napa, Naia and Motina also giving
appropriate responses.
A suggestion has been made to the
natives of several districts to combine
together and bring in their copra to
Apia and dispose of it by auction.
There is no doubt if copra was sub
mitted to the fall of the hammer
just now it would bring very good
prices.
Sauni and Leapa, two chiefs, from
Male and Faleasiu, were charged
with having sent messengers round
asking for meeting of chiefs in the
interest of Mataafa or some other
chief to the kingship of Samoa. The
Chief Justice sat with the King at
the trial. The were convicted upon
the charge and both sentenced to
imprisonment for a term of six
months.
The natives of several districts are
still harping on the kingship ques-
ton, Notwithstanding all the Chief
Justice said to them at their talolos
Many of them still keep talking
amongst themselves and raising a
feeling in favor of Mataafa. A rumor
was current last week that messen-
gers had been privately sent to most
villages with the object of inducing
the chiefs of the islands to hold a
great meeting and discuss the king
ship question. = samoan Times,
