The people of Middledurg and
vicinity contributed S367.6S in
food, medicine, clothing and money
for the starving Cubans. 1t took
only two days for the contributors

AT Bellefonte Saturday a long
continued litigation, that has cost
about 81 900, exclusive of attorneys
fees, ended with verdict for the
plaintiff for & cents. The action
was one in trespass, brought by

to settle a dispute over strip of
land 40 rods long and 6 feet wide.
Besides the 6 cents the plaintiff got
about two-thirds of the land in dis
pute.

investigated by the authorities Of
the church involved, we forbear fur
ther comment at this time-Wniata

Will it pay the citizens of Middle
burg to donate ten acres of land and
$I0,OOO to a company who will
guarantee to erect a building 52Ox
453 feet costing $l5O,OOO and to
at least GOO men for 8 years? !?
There may be 800 or 1000 men en-
ployed, but the question is if 600
are guaranteed will it pay and will
the money be raised? This is a
business proposition and any one
can see what it means to Middleburg.
If an industrial concern would
come to Middleburg and agree to
erect a $l5O,OOO building and em-
ploy at least 600 men for 8 years
guaranteed, would those who are
able donate 10 acres of land and
This would necessitate
he building of 400 or 450 new
dwelling houses and at least 50 new
business houses for the use Of the
Of the new concern alone.
