GREEN'S FARMS.

Visiting Green's Farms to familiarize
himself with the exact location and rela-
tive positions of the land of Austin Jen-
nings, the Consolidated railroad and the
land lying east of Mr. Jennings's fence
and in dispute, Judge F. B. Hall has dis
solved the temporary injunction obtained
by Mr. Jennings. The work of four track
ing the road at this point, interrupted by
the placing of the Injunction, will now
go on. In dissolving the Injunction,
Judge Hall said: 'sFrom the evidence
presented upon the hearing and from an
inspection of the place, l am satisfied
that there is ground for dispute, wheth-
er the plaintiff has, either by deed or adj
verse occupancy, acquired title to the
land lying east of his fence; and, wheth-
er said land is public or private, that the
defendant ought not to be compelled to
recognize the plaintiffs alleged title until
said questions can be presented to the
court. The location, character and di-
mansions of this enclosed tract would
seem to indicate that it was intended to
be used by the people. From time inn
memorial, this tract has been known and
called a public green or public common
and not private land. The public, as oc-
casion required, have treated and used
this entire tract as public property. In
view of the foregoing facts and of the
Importance to the public of the work in
which the defendants are engaged, and
that there is no danger that the plaintiff
will sustain any loss or serious inconven-
fence by delay until the decision of the
court of the payment of such damages as
may be found due him, / think the tenn
porary injunction should be dissolved
1t appears also that in 1868 the town of
Westport conveyed to the railroad COM
pany for station and approaches part
Of this tract and considerable portion
of the part which the plaintiff claims to
own. The company have since without
objection maintained their station there.

Meeker's boat, was sailed by Fred Sher-
wood. Other boats which ran down to
the point we're the Estelle, r. L. Shep-
herd; the Thomas Finnerty, Charles Jen-
nings. The judges of the race were1 Il.

gether during much of the time, crossed
the line few moments later 1t was

pennant to the Ramona, as having won
by eight seconds; but, later, the judges
gave the honor to the Natalie, the time

The Wool Market.
BrGdSLreet's.


The leading wool markets still report
quiet trade. Manufacturers have
taken very conservative course, and
are buying to meet their immediate
wants. The season for heavy weights
has 80 far been disappointment, but
the conditions are liable to change any
week, and with free movement in these
goods manufacturers are expected to be
liberal buyers Of wool. Prices
are now in favor of buyers,
and this applies as much to
foreign as to domestic woods. There is
very little doing in Ohio and Michigan
woods. While some fair sales have
been made in Texas and territory woods
it has taken concessions to secure this
movement. Pulled woods are moder-
ately active and firm, owing to the lin
tied supply. Australian woods are
quiet and lower. Advces from Aus
tralia report some heavy purchases for
America. The Sydney and Melbourne
markets are said to be firm and the de-
mand fairly active. Carpet woods are
dull and easy.

market was quite nervous to-day and still
showed the effects of yesterdays excite
ment over Secretary Stones unfortunate
error in reporting Russia's cereal yield.
Nearly every influence domestic as well
as foreign tended towards decline, and all
efforts of large holders TO keep up were in
effective. Lower cables only moderate ex-
port clearings, liberal receipts in the
Northwest and snowy weather in the
wheat belt all contributed to the decline.

blned. Yet the men we elect always
come from those counties.
In the next State Convention Gilmer
county will present the Hon. Robert
+ Kidd for Attorney General, and he
will be heartily supported by Baxton,
Calhoud, Gilmer and Roam, and ought
to have the solid vote of Lewis, for we
always pull the Lewis candidate
through.
Professor Kidd was actually nomina-
ted at Huntington at one time, but be-
fore the secretary could announce the
result, Marion county changed its vote.
And they did right, for the convention
had begun to endorse the old officials,
and General Caldwell surely merited
the same endorsement.
But next year we want new material,
new deal, with square tariff reform
plank to stand on, with no silver side is
sues to pull off and distract. Mr.. Kidd is
thoroughly self-made man, profound
scholar, an able lawyer, and an eloquent
campaign orator. He is liked by all
who know him, and has that happy fac
ulty OF making friend out of every
one with whom he becomes acquainted.
He is, without doubt, the most skillful
organizer in the central counties. Mr..
Kidd,after voluntarily retiring from the
head OF the Chenille Normal School,
began to practice his profession, and
represented our county in 1887, and soon
became a leader in that body. Last
winter Gov. Fleming appointed him
Director of the Specer Asylum. Mr..
Kidd will be candidate, and IL nomi-
mated will be tower of strength to the
ticket. Place his name on our ticket
and we can pledge Braxton and Gilmer
to give 1000 Democratic majority.
