of tobacco, is fully satisfied with the sues
cess that he has met with. He has shown
us some of as fine specimens Of leaf tobac>
co raised on his place as can be produced
in Virginia. He cured it by the furnace
process and realized the most gratifying
results. The cured tobacco is OF a bright
yellow and will command an excellent
price. He says that there is only one
drawback as he now sees from cultlvating
tobacco here, and that is the dews are not
quite heavy enough to thicken the leaves
de will send some of his tobacco to che
State Agricultural Commissioner and to the
Experimental Farm. Mr. Harrison is a
Vlrginian, raised in tobacco country and
understands its cultivation and he thinks
our people would do well to engage exs
tensively in tobacco culture. To see the
beautiful, large-leafed tobacco he has raised
this season, would remove all doubts as to
its successful growth in this climate.
CAR BREAKERS have been depredating On
freight in cars on the track at Elizabeth
tor several months. Efforts to fud out
who they were have been futile, until last
Thursday night, when Messrs. Miller Walk
er and George Green were on the watch and
detected three men in close proximity to
the cars about y o'clock. The colored
men fled and the watchers fred upon them
without doing any execution. With the
aid OF Deputy Marshal Moon they arrested
Lula Bates, Ida Hopkins and Idelle Moore
all colored, who confessed that they had
knowledge OF the thieves and thieving.
They gave the names of some train hands
on the M. & N G. R. r., as the parties
who had broken open the cars from time
to time and carried off meat, -four, whisky
etc. The parties are all colored and their
names have been given as Dock Kennedy
George Linebogger and Joe Snapp. They
got wind of he matter and left for parts
unknown.
