Notes at Richland, Mich.
Richland, Mich, Aug. Gone of the
most daring and successful bank rob-
berries ever perpetrated in Michigan was
carried out by six robbers. Some of
them came from the east on a hand
car, and evidently had confederates
with a horse and carriage. They Sc
cured about $4,000 in cash from the
Union bank and $4,000 in notes. The
horse and carriage were taken into Au-
gusta and left there. There were three
explosions, which awakened many peo-
pie.
Alvin Barnes. an old man, who lived
near the bank, was ordered into the
house with a threat that they would
shoot him. George Robson and Ed
Barrett saw the robbers, but did not
modest them. The safe was a complete
wreck, nitro-glycerine being used to
open it, The inside doors were blown
ten feet out into the Office and pieces
went through the plate glass front
twenty feet distant. The. chsels and
other tools were left there. The hand
car was disabled so it could not be used
to pursue the robbers.

The commander of the Maine,
Captain Sigsbee. is a tavorite in
the Navy Department. For four
years he was chief of the Hydro
graphic Office and by his energy
brought the Office up to high
standard. He was lucky to get
so important ship as the Maine,
considering his actual rank ,
which is that of a commander,
but immediately he justified the
departments judgment in the
selection, by running his ship
straight into a dock in New
York harbor to avoid running
down packed excursion boat.
This was a display of quick
judgment, nerve and pluck that
pleased the department SO highly
that the captain was sent a COM
p.imentary letter. His officers
are also a good lot. including

Fishing and Farming,

We copy the following from
Col. F. A. Olds' correspondence:
Two interesting chapters in
the forthcoming annual report Of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
are those on the trucking and
fishing interests The figures
are of value. AS to truck grow
ing, it is nearly as early here as
to crops at Charleston, and fort
night or more earlier than Nor
folk. On May 3 of last year,
over one railway, 100000 quart,
of strawberries were shipped.
One grower got $4,000 for his
berries. One trucking far;l at
Newbern got $4,000 for the
produce one season. 1t is esti>
mated that last years truck and
berry crop was worth $4,000, 900.
Craven is the first county as to
trucking. The value of the
huckleberry crop IN SAM mpson
and Duplin is worth as much as
S25o,ooo in one favorable sea-
son. AS to the fishing industry,
it may be remarked that few
States have SO large a popula
ton dependent upon 1t for liv-
ing. There are 10000 persons
employed in the fisheries, and
$500 vessels and boats are used.
There are $4,000 gill nets,
The catch of fish last year was

were sent to Admiral Sicard, of
the North Atlantic squadron,
and within forty eight hours af>
forwards the war vessel was at

Assistant Secretary of State day
this trip was simply the 1esumps
ton of friendly naval relations
with Spain, and portended moth

was royally received in the

an exchange of visits between
the acting Captain General Of

the attention of the farmers of

to the culture of tobacco. 1t

the crop of John Norwood, of

And the question is seriously
asked in connection with this
crop, "what state can equal or
beat IT." l cannot help thinking,
that, if our enterprising farmers
regard theil own interest, they
will do we'll to enquire at once
into the advantages of this crop.

HIGH PRICES FOR TOBACCO IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
The Messenger for years has
been anxious to obtain reliable
statistics of fine farming in
North Carolina. 1t wished to
publish actual statistics. 1t has
sought for examples of success
full farming, and the various
products therefrom, and the
prices obtained. We have only
now and then seen in an ex>
change some report of fair sale
of tobacco. But what was de
sired, was the average per acre,
the average per laborer, the
average per mule or horse. The
fine farming from 1868 to 1880,
had often been reported with
the prices secured. When North
Carolina has been properly re-
ported and duly credited she has
generally done we'll. The last
few years prices have been low
and unsatisfactory and not many
farmers have made much money.
The returns have been small as
a general thing, when compared
with better years. We have
known since peace came for an
average bale of cotton to be
worth 500. We have known
farmers to count 100 bales as
$4,000. How much would 100
bales bring in these Landed and
magnihed "prosperous" times ?
Reliable statistics are to be
desired-actual results obtained
on farms. In the Southern To-
bacco Journal there is long ar
ticle Oh the "Recults from To
bacco Growing" in the South.
The statistics given are certain
" highly encouraging. and if
true show that North Carolina

keeps not only to the front, but
ahead of the procession as she
did in ISo8-'8o We 90 not
know who furnished the figures,
nor how trust worthy they are,
but as names are given, we may
suppose that the statistics may
be relied upon. The writer

LOVERS MAY KISS LEGALLY
A Gallant Georgia Judge Tells
Them to Go Right Ahead.

The kissing epidemic which
has been raging in society cir
cles at Atlanta, Ga. has reached
the courts, and the vital ques
ton of kissing or not kissing
passed upon judicially. D. A.
Engesser has a pretty II year
old daughter. Mary. and Mary
has a serious beau, Louis CARGO
la, who, while ardently wooing
her, INDUCED i'll the luxury of
kissing her ruby lips. Papa
Engesser belongs to the anti
kissers, and also believes that
Mary is too young to permit Of
such familiarities on the part of
her steady company.
But Mary had a different view
of the matter and permitted her
lover to indulge i'll his propen-
sity for kissing. Whereupon he
was cited into court by the irate
parent.
Mary not only defended her
lover against the charge that he
had insulted her, but admitted
his right to kiss her and claimed
her right to be kissed. Cacola
declared his intention of marry
ing Mary, and Judge Calhoun, !,
after soundly upbraiding the
father for his interference, ad-
vised Cacola to go ahead with
his kissing and love making.
