A Good Farmer.

A colored man named She.rod
Johnson, of this community, has
made such signal success as a
farmer, that l think it worth
while to give it to the public.
When the negroes were set
free he set to work to make a
living for himself. He says he
always voted because he thought
every good citizen ought to do
that. He has all the while vot-
ed the Republican ticket, but
further than that he has not
meddled with politics. He has
made quite an accumulation of
real estate, owning two or three
good farms III the community,
and a few days ago he brought
to Scotland Neck and sold six
teen bales of cotton and received
the money for them. He did
not owe the money, but in a
general way was clear of debt.
This is a good and worthy ex~
ample for other colored men to
follow. This man johnson
stands we'll with his own race
aud the white race as we'll. He
is a good citizen and independ>

HEAD OF THE FAMILY.
Judge Purnell Says 1t Is Some
times a Woman.

De Un1teQ StateS NllCui
Court of Appeals at Richmon'
recently handed down a decision
that is of keen interest not onl,
to the bar, but to the laity a
well, on account of the absolute
uniqueness of the case. The
case was in the bankruptcy cour
and the question at issue was
"1s a married woman, living
with her husband, ever the heae
of the family" Judge Purnel
| decides that she may be. The
question arose from the am big
uous wording Of the Virginia
homestead law, but is one that
could not occur in North Caro-,
lima. The opinion was written
by Judge Pu1nell.
The statement of the case is
substantially as follows:
Mrs. Marian H. Richardson
a married woman, conducted a
merchandise business at Plum
Point, under the style of J. L.
Richardson, agent. J. L. Rich
ardson, the agent, was her hus-
band. She was the postmistress
at Plum Point, and the postofice
was kept i'll the store and man.
aged by her husband, who cons
Quoted the business.
The husbands chief income
was from carrying passengers
back and forth from Plum Point
to the station, and money made
from this and other sources was
used to aid his wife in suppolt t.
ing his family.
The goods conveyed in the
assignment did not pay off the
creditors of J. L. Richardson,
agent, aud on the 5th day OF
January, 1899, Mrs. Marian II.
Richardson fled her petition
praying to be adjudged a bank
rupt. Afterwards J. L. Rich>
ardson filed a petition in bank
ruptcy, and claimed all his pro-
perty under what is known in
Virginia as the "Poor Debtors
Law" which exempts certain
specific chattels to a "household-
er or head of a family" Mari>
am H. Harrison. filed an amend
ed petition and claimed her real
property under what is known
as the Homestead Exemption
law" which exempts to the
householder or head of a fam
lily" s., 900 free from levy, garn-
isnment or distress.
The title Of the real estate is
in the wife, Marian H. R1ch>
ardson, and the husband testified
the wife managed the business
of the family, had always been
regarded as the head of the FAM
lily since their marriage, and he
was an assistant or helpmate in
getting along, that she was post
mistress, took boarders, sewed
and was a dressmaker. The
petitioner on examination testi-
fed she was a householder and
head of a family, she supported
the family by the income from
the store conducted by her hus-
band as her agent, and other
sources.
The only question presented
and argued is whether being a
married woman, living with her
husband, petitioner is entitled to
the homestead exemption as "a
householder or head of fans
ily as provided by the constitu-
ton and laws of Virginia. No
question of procedure is in
volved, as to whether the banks
rupt had properly set up claim
for the exemption.
In his opinion, Judge Purnell
says:
"The husband is generally
and for many purposes the head
of the family. He owes it as
moral duty to support his wife
and children-a failure to do SO
is in many jurisdictions made a

respecting water at Kalihi was referred
to the superintendent Of water works
Dr.. Garvin recommended the con

street near the Magoon building on ac.
count OF unsanitary conditions.
Dr. Wood doubted II the soil would
be unsanitary II the promises were con.

Dr. Garvin said the ground was
below the street level and water stood
upon IT, The fire commissioners would
certainly not permit the buildings TO
be repaired.
Another recommendation Of DR.. Gar

said some parts of the district could
not be drained.
The recommendation were referred
