NEW YORK RACKET STORE AT
BELINDA, va,

The Racket Store is daily growing
in popularity as place to get good
goods at low prices, admits of no
doubt in any ones mind that deals
there, to be a successful merchant,
one does not require large amount
of brains or tact. but he wants the
right kind of system. The old time
way of buying on credit and selling
on credit makes the merchant and
buyer both poor. Think of the diff
ference of 10 per cent. and 50pcr cent.
and then consider how much cheaper
one can buy the goods ii he has the
cash. No wonder the cash system
pays both parties.
We of the Racket Store have intro
duced the cash system here and have
surprised many. That goods can be
sold SO low considering the quality.
We sell Hamburg and Lace, Ne. ct
prices never heard of before. Why
can we sell so cheap? Because we
buy for cash Of the big failures like
Allnutt, Nixon s. Goldsborough and
otllersuch failures, so that we can
sell them at wholesale prices. We
have just received q large lot OF
SEOES from the trustees of Allnutt,
Nixon & Goldsborough, which we
will sell at wholesale prices, and you
have only to ask your neighbor to
prove our assertion.
We have other special lines in now,
such as Mems Shirts. Hats, Dress
Goods, Mating, Irish Potato Seed,
also Powell's Fertilizers for all kinds
of trucks.
Call and see for yourselves.

Advices from all sections of The

Advices from all sections of the
country indicate an uprising of the
people in favor of Mr.. Cleveland, that
is sweeping everything before it.
The only question now asked, &C
cording to special from Washington.
is whether he will Ee nominated by
reclamation or whether formal bal
lot will be necessary. The letter of
Mr.. Cleveland placing himself at the
disposal of the people presented the
broad issue whether the masses or
the few who manipulate conventions.
should control the great office of
President and the answer has been
so satisfactory to those who have
Leen running with the machine, that
they have practically acknowledged
themselves as beaten already. Tam
many even, it is stated, has struck
its colors and will be satisfied if its
favorite, Senator Hill, can receive
complimentary mention in the Chi
cago Convention. Indeed, if the es-
Inmates made of the strength of Mr.
Cleveland, are correct, and they seem
to be, there is nothing left for Demo
Gratis of every shade and description,
except to fall into the Cleveland pro-
cession. If, as stated by the CORES
pondent of the Boston Herald 737,
out of q total of 600 delegates are al
ready practically assured for Cleve-
land and only three of the Southern
States enter into that computation,
it is time surely that all true Demo
Gratis were falling into line.
In keeping with this view OF the
situation leading men of all sections
agree. Hon. Basil 3. Gordon, ac-
cording to the Richmond Times, who
has been recently making an extern
sive tour through the South, says,
that he found the sentiment every
where Enthusiastically In favor of Mr..
Cleveland, and that with the support
lie Will TCC0lfo III tilC ->HA eii OhN
Northwest his nomination is inevit-
able; General II. kyd Douglas, of
Maryland, who happened to go South
in the wake of Mr. Hill, says, that
his visit was political blunder and
to Mr.. Cleveland a fortunate event;
Ex-Postmaster-General Don NJ. Dick
inson, says, Cleveland is $4,000 strong
er in New York than ever before, and
has the confidence of the business
men of both parties. He also says
Cleveland will be nominated at Chi
cago with practical unanimity before
New York is reached in the call of
States; Governor Russell, who has al
ways carried Massachusetts,, and who
is recognized as the most popular man
in that State, asserts that Grover
Cleveland is 5000 votes stronger in
than he is, and Gov.

Sensational Story.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Herald
this morning prints q sensational
article purportins- to give the story
of a qnarrel between the families of
John S. Wise and Col. w. F. Skin
ner. of Virginia.
The story is that Mrs Wise spoke
disparagingly of Miss Belle Green,
grand daughter of Col. Skinner,
when requested to invite Miss Green
to q series Of dances given by Mrs.
NEise's set. Miss Green informed Col.
Skinner, who called on John S. Wise,
in New York, and not receiving a
satisfactory explanation, he wrote
Mrs. Wise suggesting that she set
Miss Green right and apologize. This
seems to place the matter i'll such a
light that if Mrs. Wise does not
apologize, the affair must be settled
between John S. Wise and Col. Skin
ner.
Colonel Skinner is rs years old and
a Southern gentleman of culture and
distinction. When a young man be
was an attachc of the United States
Legation in Paris, IN tho time of
Louis Philippe. He has since travel
ed the world over fought duels and
held professorsh;p at Lexington
University. Since reaching old age
bis chief JOY is the love o. his grand
daughter, Miss Green.-Cor. Norfolk

AccoMAc COURTHOUSE, VA.
Entered at the PostofFice at,Accomat
C. H., Va. as second-class matter.

An appropriation was made blythe
Government at the last session of
Congress for the Cape Charles harbor
and q like demand has been made ut
the present term, which the Commit
tee on Rivers and HarborS have
recommended on certain conditions,
to wit: THAT none Of the money shall
be expended until and except the
owners of the property make an alb
solute conveyance to the Government
Of the harbor and q public landing
and the approaches to the same
Our present able and efficient repre-
sentative, Hon. w. A. Jones. in other
words, has way of going to the
bottom of things and as the repre-
sentative of the people has not been
able to convince himself that it is
right to take the peoples money to
improve harbor which belongs not
to the public, but to the n. Y. T.. &
n. Il. r., and the estate of Hon. w.
l.. Scott. AS such representative he
opposed the appropriation, i'll behalf
of the people, until the harbor was
made free TO them and his opinion
very properly prevailed. before the
Committee. Now it remains for the
n. Y. P. & n. f. r. Co., and the rep
resentatives of the estate of Mr..
Scott, to say whether they will &C
cept the $4,000 which is awaiting
them upon the terms offered.
If they do not, that is their priv
lcge, and no one will find fault with
them for holding on to their right of
property in said harbor. Buff they
will not accept the money on the
terms on which it is offered, then to
complain that the Government will
OF appropriate money to increase
the value Of their private property
is, say the least of it, unreasonable.
10 say that the appropriation asked
for, to be applied as heretofore, is IN
the interest of the public, is, to put
it very mildly, mere twaddle. No
boat nor craft has the right to enter
the Cape Charles harbor without the
consent of the owners thereof, and
any competing line of boats would be
very promptly excluded, which de
manded access to the same or the use
IF their wharves, and no better proof
need be offered of the truth of the
assertion, than the fact that. although
the engineers sent there two or three
wears ago to examine the harbor with
the view to the appropriation, recon-
mended, that in the event of the
same being made. an additional APP
preparation of 1000 should be made
avenue, in order that the public
might have SIN fact" free landing
and wharf. while the appropriation
for benefit of the private parties was
made, the one in the interest OF the
people, was ruthlessly set aside and
went unnoticed.
Cape Charles harbor, free at pres
cnt, 1t is to the same extent and
about the same way that ingress and
cgress is permitted, by the owners Of
any property to others, as long as it
is agreeable and profitable to them.

accounted for by the trap-net fishing
