Snow HILL, Nd July 1.-The twenty
five Western farmers who have been IN
this county recently prospecting for
farms have returned to their homes in
the West after expressing themselves as
very much pleased with the Eastern

negotiating for farms, and It Is Thought
that sales will be consummsted in a
short time. Another large party is
expected soon
Judges Page, Lloyd and Holland, of the
hrst Judicial circuit, are about TO com
mence the com pilation of a new set Of

the counties which did not apply to all ,
until there has become q necessity for a
general revision IN order TO make the
practice uniform throughout the circuit.
Marriage licenses taken out by women
as applicants are rather unusual, but
