Our Good Market,

A little incident which occurred here
week ago shows very conclusively
how much better our produce market
is than that afforded by surrounding
ing towns. A gentleman who raised a,
field Of client corn near Monticello
has begun to haul the golden ears to
Princeton, ana when asked why he did
it stated that he could get cents per
bushel for$it here while there he. could
only realize 20 to % cents per bushel.
The difference in the price would
make it profitable to haul the corn a
much greater distance. 81 :5, -

the evening was Rossini's Stabat Mater.
This celebrated Latin hymn on the cru

Catholic churches during Passion week.
ard has been favorfte theme with both
Italian and German composers. Some Of
these compositions have been masterpieces.
but Rossinis can be said without fear of
contradiction to be the most popular of
them all. Mr.. Gumprecht showed not only
good musical taste in making this selection,
but also a knowledge of the kind of music
that would be appreciated by a Washing
ton audience, if one may judge from the
crowded church. Certain portions of this
composition are very familiar to Washing
tonans but it is claimed that whole
it had not been given here for twenty
years.

The solos given by Mrs. Gumprecht and

the gem OF the evening was the noble and
inspiring "1nfiammatus.' This familiar
selection was rendered. both solo and the

dwels in Rossini's music.

AT meeting of the county commissioners
held here yesterday Messrs. G. Minor An
derson, member-elect of the house of dele
gates; Thomas Dawson. clerk of the circuit
court, and Guion Miller. one of the officers
of registration. all republicans, made a per-
sonal request to the board to offer reward
for the apprehension of the person or per-
sens who, between the, evening of Novem-
Der and the morning Of November s. stole
from the court room two of the ballot boxes
used at the election on the previous Tues
day. and which had been placed In the
custody of the clerk Of the circnit court by
the election supervisors after they had COM
pleted the count and made up their returns.
similar request was also made to the
commissioners by the members of the DEM
oerat 1.. state central committee for this
After consultation, the commissioners
concluded to offer a reward of $500 for the
apprehension OF the party or parties guilty
Of the crime. The boxes taken were those
belonging to the first precinct of the fourth
district. and of the twelfth district. During
the sitting of the late grand jury several
persons appeared before that body as wit
nesses in regard to this matter. but their
evidence was not sufflcient to warrant
preSentment OF any person.
There Is some talk among leading republi-
cans here of asking GoVetaaor Lowndes to
also offer a reward for the apprehension of
the guilty parties. );
