An Uptown Telegraph Office.

The business OF Scotland Neck has
gradually grown Until an uptown tel
egraph Office is desirable for the CON
yenience OF the business men and Others
Of tie town.
THE COMMONWEALTH has talked the
matter over with some Of the people
and we find that the business men es-
pecialIy would like it.
The distance from the business and
residence part Of town to the depot
makes it inconyenient to go there every
time and The COMMONWEALTH would
like to ses this needed improvement.
What has any one else to say about
it?

Death of MIR. D. M. Hardy.

Mr.. r. L. Hardy received at church
Sunday night telegram announcing
the sudden illness Of his brother, Mr..
ID. NJ. Hardy, IN Goldsboro.
Monday morning he received anoth-
er telegram which conveyed to him the
sad intelligence that his brother died
Sunday night about s o'clock. Mr..
Hardy was taken sick Saturday and
thus without warning to himself Or
his friends was suddenly summoned
to go.
The COMMONWEALTH joins his many
friends in sympathy for our townsman,
Mr.. r. L. Hardy, in his many atf1ic-
tons. About four years ago his moth
er died in hospital in Baltimore two
years ago his father died; last August
his sister, Mrs. Richardson, died, and
now he is greatly bereaved IN the death
OF brother. whom he loved devotediy.
The Goldsboro correspondent to
Tuesdays Wilmington Messenger wrote
as follows:
"Our community was shocLed this
morning to learn ot the death Of our
young townsman, Mr.. Dial III. Hardy
"Mr. Hardy was suddenly taken sick
| yesterday with congestion of tie brain
| and lungs and died last night at the
home of Mr.. Ben King, in this city
He was bright, promising young
lawyer and will be sadly missed He
leaves several brothers and sisters
among whom is Mrs. Alice Hunter, o.

Among the truest and best friends

Detective Work Near Llttl eton.

A Littieton correspondent to the
Richmond Dispatch under date OF
March %, gave the following:
"On the nlght.of the Sth of this
month an attempt wa. made to burn a
barn containing number of horses,
mules, and COWS and large quantity of
corn, fodder, &C., situated on the cot
ton farm oil Mr.. J. II. Harrison, seven
miles from Littleton, n. c., in Halifax
county, but owing to recent hard rains,
the incendiaries only succeeded in
burning the building in part. The
farm was tenanted to Mr.. F. n. Porter,
who, together with Mr.. Harrison, a
a large merchant at Littleton, determ-
ned if possible to bring the guilty
Earties to justice. These gentlenen

After few days OF careful and skiitul
investigation by the detective, Mr..
Drownell himself was telegrapbed for,
and from information gathered through
bis representative caused him to arrest
Lindsey Jones, alias Hines, ana John
Robinson (both colored). Alter dill
gent and skilful work upon them, he
succeeded in obtaining a full confess
ion from Robinson, to tbs effect that
| he went with Lindsey Jones to within
a half mile OF the barn the night OF
the burning, and that Lindsey Jone.
went on up to the barn, over some
ploughed fields, in his stocking feet,
tracks of which had been seen after the
burning, and poured kerosene Oil from
two bottles that he had with him, and
after lighting this with a match, re-
turned to him (Robinson) on a run
They both then went on to Robin
sons home, where they spent the
night. He gave as the motiye that he
had been sub-tenant of Mr.. Porter's
for several years, and OH the beginning
OF this year Mr.. Porter had rented his
(Robinson's) land to another party
Lindsey Jones, knowing of this, said he
would burn Mr.. Porter's barn for Rob

OUGHT Nor TO BE ALLoWED.--One
thing farmers allow for which it seems
they are inexcusable, and that Is the
habit Of all dryers riding On their carts
and wagons when the team is drawing
a load. With bad roads OR good roads
dryers should not be allowDed to ride
on heavy loads. Ordinarily a dryer
is as able 20 walk as a team is to pull
