Replying to the question as to how
many bushels of onion seeds one pound
of seed will produce, a writer says:
"The more tkcldy the seed is.sown the
smaller the sets. hence 10 is difficult to
estimate the number of bushels from
one pound, the sets varying In size from
pea to a large marble. 1t requires
about five pounds Of seed per acre for
an onion crop and about eight times
as puch for sets. A pound contains
aboutN15,OO0 seeds, and II allowance is
made for loss in termination, ETC., at
least one bushel Of sets can be obtained,

All the old officers were reelected al

EQUATION. 1t was laid on the table UNI
til the next regular meeting.
No changes were announced in the
list of cammittees.
The officers Of the town elected 10y
the council, and their salaries are as
follows:
Clerk of Council, +. J. Whitehead;
$4,000 per annum.
Town Treasurer, John A. Scott 800
per annum.
Commissioner Of Revenue, Herbert
Rice 500 per aunum.
Town Sergeant, r.. d. Miller > per

Policeman, X. 1. Orange; 800 per
annum.
Superintendent Electric Light Plant,
o. T. Wicker no salary.
Electrician, II. X. Bullock $50 per
annum.
Mr.. Bullock asked the council to in
crease his salary to 5000 per annum.
He informed the council that the cleo
trio light line was about to topple
down throughout the town and that he
would do the work Of repairing it if
the increase in his salary was made.
There was opposition to combining
the offices Of policeman and street COM
missioner as was done in the case of
Mr.. Beal's election. Mr.. Gillian said
he believed the one would necessarily
conflict with the other, and that Mr..
Beal could not properly discharge the
duties Of policeman and do street work
as well. Several other members Of the
council took the same view of the mat
ter as did Mr.. Gillian.
Mr. Bugg favored the election Of Mr.
Beal to both positions, and his election
was effected by vote of'4 to 3.
The members who voted to separate
the offices were Messrs. Erambert,
Gillian and Farrar. Those, therefore,
who voted to give both offices to Beal
were Messrs. Bugg, Wall, Davidson
and Anderson.
1t was announced by Mr.. Erambert
that Mr.. Orange would decline his re-
election as policeman unless the pay
Of that office was increased. Mr.. Eram-
bert accordingly moved that the salary
be increased from 800 10 $500 The mo-
ton was lost by vote Of 1 to3.

On Saturday afternoon, July lst
about five O'Clock the young people in

joined in a picnic to Leigh's mountain.
There were about twenty-five or thirty
present; among the number were Misses
Maggie Roach, Of Richmond; Maggie
Elliott, of Charlotte, and Ella Moore,

were Mrs. John Gillian, Mrs. r. b,
Wilson and Mrs Macon Gillian. After
scrambling among the rocks for the
most comfortable seats, and talking
awhile, refreshments were served. The
house keepers, though they had had
but short notice, seemed to vie with
one another in the preparation Of
dainties. The excursion stayed on the
mountain until after sunset, and it
would have amused one accustomed to
a mountainous country to hear many
remark on the picturesque scenery
and so it was. The collection of
souvenirs, though meager, were kept
in all sincerity, and when the time
came for returning each expressed
himself a. having thoroughly enjoyed
the evening. ONE OF THEN.

Judge Fiuurnoy's Lecture.
On last Friday evening. i'm the As
sembly Hall of the State Normal
School, Judge Henry w. Flounoy de
livered his well known and highly en-
tcrtaining lecture. entitled: days i'm
Old Virginia Before the War; The
Judge is most attractive and finished
speaker, and i'm mis- description Of the
good old days. and i'm his delinea-
ton of the old time darkey the nature
of his work, his love for and faithful
ness towards his master Judge
Flouruoy not only greatly interested,
but also instructed those who had the
good fortune To- be present on that oc-
ca-ion.
The lecture was fun of anecdote, re-
plete with incidents Of pathos and ten
derness and a most graphic and beauti-
ful picture of the life our fathers lived
upon their broad acres and i'm the small
villages of the Commonwealth. The
lecture touched upon every phase In
the life of those anti-bellum days, and
thus speaking of what he himself
knew TO be true, he gave colour, glow
and beauty TO the picture he drew.
While the Judge made most appro-
pirate illusions 20 the glory Of those
days that are now past and forever
gone, he also paid high tribute to the
chivalry and honoro of themen, and the
purity and oeautyof the women whose
lives and labors made up the story of
patriotic and noble people who held
their honor dearer than life, and the /
purity and chastity Of their quiet |
homes greater riches than all the treas
ure of the world I'm conclusion Of his /
lecture Judge Flournoy spoke earnestly /
of the present reunited country, and /
while lac declared his loyalty to his
State, he urged the duty all patriotic
10 remember their duty to
the nation.
The lecture was given for the benefit
Of the Confederate Monument Fund.
Judge Flouruoy was for many years
city Judge for Danville, Va, for eight
years Secretary of the Commonwealth
and has always held a position Of prom
nence i'm the legal fraternity of the
State. He has now named his resi-
ience here for the purpose Of prac-
icing his profession.

laid aside his club and notified the
