Next to Mr.. Dodson's float the onG
most commented on was the HER
AIDS tiger. This represented a great
big dead Tiger. Underneath was
written, "Third Party in Republic
can Tiger-Tiger Dead" Peeping
out of the tiger were several heads.
Among the number was that Of His
Whiskers, and underneath read,
"Oh, take me back to Ole Jehazy."
Next came the head OF Tennessee's
Governor, and underneath this was
written, "John Henry tempted me
and / betrayed the people" Then
could be seen Archibald's side-burns,
and Arch was saying, ct wish could
get out of here" Then Coal Oil
Billy's head arose in the background,
and Billy, just as in the good old days
Of old, was praying, "May my tongue

Rogers is as black as tar and
about five and a half feet in
hight. He will weigh between
1870 and $50 pounds. He has
very thick lips and a large
mouth. His hair is cut close.
He generally dresses in good
style, being bountifully sup
piled with money and good
clothing taken from the resi-
dences he enters.
Let every body be on his
guard. Rogers is now thought
TO be about Roanoke, Va, plying
his nefarious business. The
town commissioners have offer

rest. ..-.
Since the above was written
Rogers has been arrested and
placed in Jail in Durham county.
He had gotten far away from
home, near Norfolk, Va,
and was employed as cook
on a dredge boat. He wrote a
letter to a friend in this city and
by mistake another party, by

Fire Monday Morning,

AT two o'clock Monday morn
ing our citizens were aroused
from their slumbers by the cry
of fire and when the scene of the
coniiagration met the eyes of
the people it looked as if the
whole town were in a blaze.
Messrs. j. s. Carter, r. 7.
Howerton & Bro, and A. NJ.
Riggsbee are the losers. The
fire originated in Mr.. Carter's
stable and no one can account
for it, except as incendiary. Mr..
Carter lost about every thing in
connection with the stables.
His horses were taken out, and
it was a narrow escape for them.
Mr.. Riggsbee lost a two-room
dwelling adjoining the sable.
A colored family occupied the
house at the time, but most OF
their effects were saved, though
in a damaged condition.
X. T. Howerton & Bro. suf-
fered a considerable loss in their
Misunderstanding mill &c
We learn there Is u partial in
surance on most Of this proper
ty, but not enough TO cover the
loss.
This was q fearful fire aad
hut for the faithful work of tht
firemen, and citizens generally
the damage would have beer
much greater. II was though'
at one time that the stables be
longing to the Methodist par.
sonago would have to go anC
/ had they burned the parsonage
and several other building
would have burned. A gentle
breeze from the east bore th,
greatest Of the heat westward
and thus protected a lot Of prop
erty that would otherwise hayt
burned.
Il The supply Of water was in
adequate and this shows ushoy

had a big fire.

Business at Home.

Wedo not fully realize what
we are doing at home until we
go away and take in the sur
roundings at other points. Dur
ham, in proportion to its size, is
the greatest tobacco market in
the South.
"A visit to Richmond, Lynch
burg and Petersburg, has made
this fact more prominent to us
than ever before.
Richmond, during the expo
sition, was in a great stir and
did a thriving business, but a
visit to her warehouses with one
exception, revealed to US the
fact that the tobacco trade was
on the wane.
Richmond is a beautiful city,
containing about 10000 inhabl-
tants. Her streets are kept in
fine condition and her electric
street car system is excellent.
The City Hall, located near
the capitol, is a magnificent
structure, built entirely Of
granite. Its cost, when COM
plete, will approximate about
two million dollars. The city
is billy but some parts of it are
occasionally inundated by a
rise in the James River.
The white population is al
most entirely Democratic, while
many Of the colored people are
following on in the same line.
1t was our misfortune while
there and at other points in the
Old Dominion, to be mistaken
for Billy Malone. In every in
stance we demanded a retrac-
tion which was gladly adhered
TO. We felt very highly COM
plimented in that Mr.. Malone is
acknowledged to be one of the
brightest men in Virginia, but
on the other hand he is noted,
we are told, as being one of the
greatest rascals that treads
Virginia soil.
Petersburg is located on the
Appomattox river, and a good
iy portion of the city is subject
to overflow. The city holds its
own pretty well, and is the abid-
ing place of Billy Malone.
Lynchburg is located on the
head waters of the James, a.
mong the hills, and from all APP
pearances, must be a healthy
place.
We were told by some of her
citizens that the tobacco trade
at that point is not as good as t
was some years ago.
She has a good electric rail
way system and a clever citi-
zenship.
We noticed during our short
stay in these cities a great deal
of cruelty to animals. The wag.
ons are loaded too heavily for
the strength of the horses.
We saw three horses down at
one time, at Richmond, from
being overloaded, and they were
being beaten numerically, by
the drivers, while down.
We saw at each of the other
places mentioned the strength
of horses taxed to a very great
degree. With this exception,
cruelty to animals, we were well
pleased with all we saw during
our stay among these people.
