THE LAST NOT THE LAST.
Rally to the Support of the Spectator

When we issued the SPECTATOR of Dec. 4th,
we thought that would be the last work we
would do on a newspaper, but such is not the
case; for, at the solicitation of the new Pro-
prietor, and in accordance with the expressed
desire of number of friends and subscribers,
together with our own wish to have the SPEC
TAToR published, and our willingness to aid in
that object, we have consented to give him our
services for while and, in making this an
nouncement, we would express the hope that
all whose names are on the list at present will
continue their subscriptions, and that each
one will constitute himself voluntary agent
to secure as many other subscribers as posi-
BILE. As the regular subscription price has
been reduced from two dollars to only one dol
lar year, quite large number can be obtain
3D. if the proper effort be made
To advertisers we would say, that this is a
good time to use the SPECTA TOR, as, for some
time, they will get the benefit of the publica-
ton of many extra copies, that will be sent
where they will do the most good
It is the purpose of the present Proprietor
to infuse new life into the old journal, and to
spare neither pains nor expense to make it
not only interesting, but, in every respect, de-
serving liberal support and cordial approba
ton. We earnestly hope to see its former
friends rallying to its support, accompanied
by number of new ones.
Let them come, not sngly, but in battalions-
The better the support, the better the paper.
Our friends can find US doing business at the
old stand" where we will be pleased to see
them.

A Judge Shoots a Lawyer.

On Monday in the Office of Congress-
man Brown in Chattanooga, Tenn,
Chief Justice D. S. Snodgrass, of the
Supreme Court of Tenn, shot John R.
Beaseley in the arm in a personal diff
ficulty. 1t seems that Beaseley, in an
article in a newspaper over his own
signature, had charged the court with
having rendered decision from pc.
litical standpoint, and that when Judge
Snodgrass met Beaseley in Browns Of
fee he denounced the publication as q
lie, when they instantly came to blows
and, during the fight, the Judge drew
his pistol and shot Beaseley. The bal
entered at the wrist and came out al
the elbow. The Judge was arrested
but released on bail.

Electric Street Railway.

Mr.. D. D. Parmly, of New York. who con-
trolls our street railway, left for his home on
Monday morning, after having spent several
days here looking over our town to determine
whether electricity should be used instead OF
mules. He left perfectly satisfied and gave
full authority to Mr.. R. D. Apperson his local
manager to push the changes to completion al
once. Last night there was special meeting
of the Council called to grant certain permits
and arrange necessary details which. when
arranged, the work will begin and will be
pushed rapidly to compl elton.
1t is understood that three belts will be ar
ranged, as follows: LIST. Out Greenville ave-
nue. across Sears Hill to Middlebrook avenue
thence back into town. End. Out West Bev-
erly street to the cemetery, thence around by
the fair grounds to Churchville avenue, thence
back into town by Lewis street. 3rd. Out
West Beverly street, thence down by Tame
hills ice plant, back by the Gas house into
Greenville avenue, and thence into town
About fifteen minutes will be consumed in
making the longest of these circuits. If the
company thereafter will issue mileage OF
trip book at very low rate so as to insure
travel, a rich harvest may be reaped.

A STRANGE ROBBERY.
A Daring Deed in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains.

A Daring Deed in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains.
LEXINGTON, Va, December a.
Especial. News has reached tere of a
startling and strange robbery. A cor
respondent of the County News sends
the following account of it. On last
sunday night Mr.. Frank Byers was
robbed of 81 200 at his home, in the
Blue Ridge, at the head of Irish creek.
The act, it is alleged. was committed
by John s. Grant and John M. Grant.
Mr.. Byers's wife died that evening,
and her corpse was in the house at the
time of the robbery. She was the
widow of Robert Grant when Mr..
Byers married her. John S. Grant is
a son of Robert Grant by his first wife;
hence he knew that Mr.. Byers had
money, so the two, it is charged, came
that night and called Byers into the
road near his house and threw him
down and robbed him of the amount
above stated. He had $500 in his
pockets at the time, but fortunately
mis- cries were heard by some of the
persons sitting up with the dead body
of his wife, and they ran to his assist
ance.
The Grants made off with what
money they had. Next morning $3.50
in cash was found lying in the road at
the place of the robbery. A warrant
has been issued for the two Grants, and
officers have been searching for them,
but they have not yet been apprehend-
ed.

Learned the Alphabet from the
Spectator.

To hundreds of persons in this county, the
SPECTATOR is the first paper they ever read,
and they have been reading it all their lives.
A subscriber living in Albemarle county, in
his letter enclosing payment, remarked that
it was the first paper he ever saw and read,
and that his mother taught him the alphabet
with the SPECTATOR, and there may be others
who got their first instruction towards an
education in the same way. Those whose
names are on the list should remain, and
those who have had them taken off, should
have them put back on the list. They should
be as loyal to the SPECTATOR as Mrs. Micawber
was to her husband, who vowed that ''she
would never desert Mr.. Micawber"

The Old Horse.

When farmer makes up team, he does
not put all untried horses in it, particularly
if he has a valuable load to be taken over a
rough road, but he puts an old and well-tried
horse at the wheel that will neither balk nor
kick, but may be depended on either to pull
steadily or to hold back as the occasion may
demand; so the new proprietor of the SPEC
TAToR has, from similar prudential consider
atoms, decided to retain for while the ser
vices of him who has for so many years con-
Quoted it, and this he does not only because
he thinks it will be advantageous to him,
but agreeable to the old subscribers on the
list who have become partial not only to the
SPECTATOR, but to him, personally, who has
furnished it to them for so many years amid
all the yicissitudes of life.

THE GRAIN rRADE-CRoPs. 60.

The Cincinnati Price Current of December
18th, says
1.-THE weather the past week has been cold,
with more or less of variableness in tempera,
ture, and has been somewhat trying on the
growing wheat, which has suffered from lack
of moisture to promote the usual growth OF
| the plant. In many sections there is lack OF
snow protection. 1t does not appear however
that positively discouraging changes in the
status of the crop have occurred as yet, under
recent weather conditions.
The feature of the week has been the unex-
pected showing of the visible supply of wheat
statement, showing a decrease, while the
trade was looking for large increase, which
| stimulated the market for time, but from
which there has been considerable relapse.
| The instance referred to illustrates the fuctu-
| ating nature of such exhibits from variations
in supplies in transit between points reeogniz-
ed in the visible reports.
While there is little to note of change in
the general position of wheat interests there
appears to be developing a more confident
view OF the future, and it should not be sur
prising if the near future should add some
thing to the gain in price which has been eff
fected for the week now closed.
The winter grain milling interests are more
urgently seeking supplies, and it is to be noted
that mills southwark, as well as those in the
central regions, have been obliged to look
farther than usual for wheat, and in some
cases have been confronted with the disap-
pointing results of milling grain of different
characteristics from what they have been &C
customed to.
change. There is no urgency in the offerings,
although the marketings have been sufficient
ly free to cover all requirements readily. As
previously noted repeatedly, the progress of
husking operations continues to disclose a
smaller average yield than was expected.
December wheat at Chicago closed &c be-
low the highest point of the week, 1sc above
the lowest point, and 1ac higher than a week
ago.
Corn at Chicago for December closed lie |
below the highest point of the week, and
at the lowest point, and The same as a week
ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were
6,919,0O bushels for the week. against $685.
900 the preceding week, and 1857 900 last
year.
Corn receipts were 2,2S0,0O0 bushels, against
,975 900 the preceding week, and 8 056 900 last

The Spectator Not Lost.

A subscriber, referring to the SPECTATOR
which he seems to have inferred from its sale
would cease to be published in his letter en-
closing money to pay his subscription, says
II feel like I had lost one of my Oldest
truest and best friends. The SPECTATOR was
a welcome visitor at my fathers house in my
childhood days. 1t has been in my own
humble home until now my grandchildren
are learning to read. As you fifty say good
name is better than riches, and your name
and that of the SPECTATOR are above re-
proach."
We are pleased to inform the author of the
letter referred to that the SPECTATOR will con-
tinue to be published and we hope himself,
his children, grandchildren and great-grand-
children will read it.

The insurgents fired a volley into the
