Winchester Leader Ga Tuesday night
last Mr.. Dennis Fenton, we'll known here
abouts on account of his great size and
remarkable strength, aud who has been
at the Stanton Asylum q time or two,
was placed 10 Jail on account of exhibit
ing dangerous symptoms. As marvellous
stories have been told of his muscular
powers, we can account for the false
rumor that it required hundred men to
take him to Jail. We learn that during
the night lie tore up the bed and some
other things in his cell. He has been ex-
amincd, and will be SECT TO tie StauntoD
Asylum in few days.

The Board of Supervisors at their last
meeting decided to fund the outstanding
railroad debt of Rockingham county. The
total amount outstanding now is about
100000 This is bearing six per cent.
interest and is due on June 30, 1891. 1t
is proposed by the Board TO issue new
bonds to the amount of $50. 900 at five per
cent. to be due in twenty years, but the
county to have the tight to redeem them
any time after ten years. The remaining
bonds will be paid out of the sinking
fund.
Instead Of still keeping sinking fund
the Board proposes to apply the tax here
tolorc raised for that purpose to the
macadamizing of the principal roads Of
the county.
We think that this is move in the
right direction. Nothing improves a
place more than good throrou, hfares.
