with reference 10 her. Nothing denmse
has vet transpired in regard to her efects,
and doubtless will not DO until after the
next County Court OF Lunenburg. One
inquiry comes from Iowa.
The county alliance met at Boydton on
Friday with large delegation. A propo-
sitior TO take action as an aliiance 10 tns
sprina election was defeated by vote OF
6fty-seyen to fifteen. The reports show
largo gains in membership. The County
Secretary published the fact that the Al
lance viii be heard from In the next iegis-
lative election.
There have been several cases of grippe
here, but mostly of mild form.
The fruit crop has not been seriously III
iured by the late frosts.
n Ia Estimated that not more than one
third of last years tobacco crop Is now IN
the hands OF farmers in the section OF
country tributary to this market.
GRATIFYING FACT.
Last year at this time many carloads of
corn wero shipped here from the
West and the people who failed in
crops supplied ut IS cents per bushel.
This wear there is a large surplus
In the county and quantities are shipped
south and the price here ia 80 cents per
bushel. A calamity of one year is relieved
bv blessing the next, and periodical as II
NAV appear the smaller the crop the lower
the price and the greater the production
the higher the price. This Is certainly a
gratifying fact to corn producers and con-
Oumers.
A few bright days this week gave the
farmers little announcement, but to-day
q heavy rain has been falling. The streets
and public highways are IN wretched con-
dition. No work can be done on them I'M
Ill after several days of clear weather.
Streams have been full oil the year, but no
damage from OVERLOOKING: No, gardening
has been done, no vegetables planted, and
prospects are gloomy for early horticui-
tural products
REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.
The best signs of q revival OF business Is
that the Jews have opened large store
here. A jew follows only in the wake OF
prosperity. When town is dead to pro-
cress and business activity the jew has as
little use for IL as the devil for holy water.
Hence the advent of jew is an indication
of life and fourishing trade.
