The following complimentary no.
tice of our countyman is from the
Martinshurg Herald. which is in
tenseIy Republican: Sheriff Baker,
of jefferson county, was in the city
Wednesday. He is an affable gem
tleman but slightly partisan. When
it was suggested to him that he
should subscribe for the Herald, he
begged tobe excused as it is according
to his notion rather too aggressive,
which is an indication that he is not
convertible.

OPEN LETTERS.
Says the Time Is Too Short.

I wish to say a few words in reference to public matter which is now attract ing the attention of many of our citizens. It is in regard to the city order to the tax collector to collect from the property owners for street improvements, and that executions be issued against the prop erty in all cases where not paid by June 1.
 I do not object to these collections be- ing made, but the short time in which the people are allowed to settle is se- riously objectionable
 l have as agent for property owners that l represent, paid out several thou sand dollars for street and sidewalk inn proyements, and I don't remember hay ing an unpaid bill which has ever been presented to me; yet there stands charged upon the books of the city sev- eral hundred dollars against these peo- pie that l represent.
 Now. the point in question is this: Is 1t right and proper for the city to en- force these collections on two weeks notice, and in many cases no notice at all? There are hundreds of people charged with these improvements who have not the slightest idea that they are indebted to the city, and it will work great hardship on them to have the expense of cost for executions and ad- vertising without first giving them req

Some of them date back as far as 1SS7.g l at once commenced to investi- gate. have thus far been able to prove to the city auditor that twenty-five of these items are erroneous, or have been paid. am still searching for receipts, and one can we'll imagine it is not a ver2. pleasant or easy task to go through piles of old receipts dating back for eight years. My search. however, is proving very satisfactory, for I will be able to make a good showing by the time I get through.
 l think many people and all the real estate agents will join me in the opinion that it is but simple justice for the city to give thirty days additional time for the people to lok into the matter. Re- speetfully. T. H. MOTION.

 An unusual incident was the presenta- tion of a $50 gold watch to Alfred c. Newell a Constitution reporter for his fine work. The conductors propose to give a gold watch hereafter at each con- vention for the best write-up.

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located In Birmingham and modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her. ald that he would treat only a special class of oftliseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away Eng gland, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

 No specialist h the south is more fa- miliar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. D. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tients suffering with private troubles Of every conceivable form. This great expe- rience, together with his skill and ability, not only places the doctor at the head of his profession in such matters, but Is a guarantee to, all that place themselves un- der his care that they will receive the best treatment possible to be obtained.

On Sunday last Rev. F. j. Pretty
man, of Trinity M. E. Church South,
preached a sermon to the Knights of
Pythias of this city. The members
of Washington Lodge assembled at
the Castle Hall at 10 q. H., and pro-
ceeded in body to the church few
minutes before eleven. Nearly 100
were present. Excellent music was
rendered by the choir on this occa-
sion, and the day was certainly graf
flying to all of the members.
Rev. Prettyman, who is a member
of the order Lexington Lodge, Va,
No.66) delivered a beautiful and i'm
appropriate sermon. He took for
his text Gains reply to the voice of
God, as set forth in Genesis, Gam |
my brothers keeper" and the theme
of his discourse was Brotherhood.
He spoke most earnestly and elo-
quently, and the most rapt attention
paid left every word uttered take
root with his hearers. The knights
are most thankful to him, and espec.
tally invite him to attend their meet.
ings and work with them.

CROP BULLETIN For THE WEEK
ENDING MoNDAY,JUNE 10.-On Tues
day, the 4th, the period of warm
weather that had prevailed through
the preceding week, eliminated with
the most excessive hot day of which
there is any record for that period
of the month. Reports from obser-
vers in all parts of the state show
that the highest temperatures on that
day ranged from $40 to 1902.
Tuesday night the temperature fell
very rapidly, and until the 9th con-
tinued from 80 to 80 below the nor
nal. The only rainfall of theweek oc-
cured on the night of the 4th and on
the following day. In many sections
the rain fall was heavy and Of sufli-
Gent amount to make the total for
the week above the normal. The
weather conditions have been on the
whole very favorable for crop growth,
especially for the wheat, corn and
grass. In the sections where suffi =
cient rainfall was received the crops
have materially improved corn and
grass, and are generally in fair con-
dition. Corn is growing well where
not injured by the worms. Mead
ows and gardens are improving and
promise good yields.

ASSAULTED AND RoBBED.-On
Monday night about midnight as
Edward Carroll, who works for the
B. & O. r. R, and lives at North
Mountain, was returning to his
boarding house he was attacked,
knocked down and beaten by some
party or parties, whose evident in
tention was solely for robbery. He
was very badly hurt, but had strength
enough to go to the City Hall and
lay in a complaint lie did not know
the party. but from the description
given the officers went out on a
search. Carroll claims that he was
robbed of $50, but it is not supposed
he had that much money about him.
The officers have arrested Joe Far
rim, but as yet no one has appeared
as prosecuting witness, although
Farrin is still held.
