get this plum.
On account of the heavy Inauguration
travel the trains have all been much de-
iayed, to the great annoyance of the pas
sengeTs. But now that the inauguration
is over, these roads should be required to.
run their trains nearer ON schedule time.
There can be no reasonable excuse for
their being from one to two hours late
every day.

SUCCESSORS TO C.A.SHERWOOD co.
AN ANTE-BELLUM FARMER.

A few years before the war a Dutch shoe
maker, named Peter Blum Bloom he was
called here), moved to Raleigh Not content
with the profits of his shop, he concluded to
try farming. So he rented small tract from
landowner, with whom he had a verbal
contract. When the rent fell due law suit
was the result. The landowner first took the
stand, and in an elaborate manner told how
Peter had contracted, to fence, ditch, fertil-
ize and cultivate the land, only small part
of which had been performed. Peters eyes
were as big as saucers, and his ears as soup
plates, while he listened to the story. When
he was called to the stand, and asked what he
had to say. in rebuttal, he threw up his hands
and in a despairing way cried out Mister
shudge, petam,' and took his seat.
We do not wish, nor intend to appear to
swear, but we sometimes think that great
deal is expected Of the poor Grocer. We are,
however, sticking to the shop, and will treat
all who come to see US in a proper spirit. All
goods we recommend, fully warranted to give
satisfaction.

The Court House Site.

MR. EDITOR: Your paper of the 5th inst, had a communication under above title. and gave the authors reasons for not desiring the court house on the hill. will try to answer these and give reasons why it should be built there.
 1. The county owns ihis site.
 The court meets in March and Septsm. bcr of each year, when the weather IS neither too cold or warm, and I do not know why the offices could not be built facing east and south and the entrances north and west. and the court room in the northwest corner. Of course this will be left to the building committee.
 ,. The trains are not allowed to block Il street crossing. nor to block two streets at the same time. This is town ordi- nance and have seen our marshal enforce it by telling the engineer and conductor to move on.
 The noise of the railroads can be heard anywhere in the city, but admit plainly on the hill. But as to the Little Rock and Memphis railroad building to Texas, that is in the dim future.
 As for the judge refusing to hold court m the building is as he chooses-as the law goes he can hold court to suit himself.
 l sm sorry that We have not more indus tries to make more noise and hustle.
 5. A crer who could yell loud enough to be heard down town ought to be put down, as the witnesses, lawyers and every body else who has business at the court house ought 10 be there or on the prem iseS and not straying about town. The people usually stay at the court house says the writer of the court house site; then. what use for crier, put his salary to the D per cent coal aad awning fund
 4. The court house should certainly be with the jail, especially not to delay court and make trials easier for attornevs as well as witnesses. And the jail can be easier overlooked.
 The jail is not so much condemned as the writer thinks it is. If the building material is had. whose fault is it. Why was not Portland cement used and why Louisville. but this has nothing to do with the court house site.
 ,. Here is flat contradiction. The passengers on the Little Rock and Mem. phiS railroad could not see the building. and further says. recall your own eXppri- ence in travelling how often have you seen beautiful ediiices from car windows and as fact could not remember the name of the town in which You saw them.
 If the passengers of tue Little Rock railroad must see the building why can- not the hill be graded and drain pipe put in and nice park made of the lot. which would make an ornament to the city and county, and the travelling public could see this building from two sides of the city and give il praise. If l am in- formed correctly Mr. Irby, an old citizen of St. Francis county, has offered to grade the hill and cart of the dirt free ol charge.

G. Public buildings should be located for the convenience of the public. am certain there are as many on this side of the railroad track that live in the country and come by trains, especially as the depot is on the south side. and crossing 10 where passengers of the Iron Mountain get of. The road from Bonair is another factor. It is not as necessary to have a court house in the centre of the city as a 1 pestofiice.
 What is more preposterous than this. It would not enhance the value of adjacent | property for resident or business property 1 What business is there near the court house, or how many residences are there in the immediate neighborhood? The south side. especially the block ad- jacent to the court house site. is not much, but will leave it to the oldest residents to judge if the building of the jail there had anything to do with this
 If the court house augments deprecia- ton Of property then why not build on the hill site where II can do uo harm, why drag it to the more thckly populated neighborhod where property is of value
 Why not leave it on s150. lot in place or buying a lot for 3, 4 or S5, ,0O0. Take these thousands and add to the building or repair the jail or improve the site am opposed to the county going into debt To: site, as it owns one that will answer in every way and can be made slightly and pride to the city and credit to the county.
 The county is now burdened with debt. but do not mind aud really want court house, because 1t is necessity. and l want to see it erected just where it be. longs and where it should be. on the hill by the jail and on the SOUTH SIDE.
