CHELSEA.

On Wednesday evening of last week
Mrs. Lorenzo S. Spear was driving
from this village to her home in Yer
shire when she was attacked by an un-
known man at the point where road
leads to the farm last inhabited by
Homer Alger. The man smashed the
lantern, jumped into the wagon, and
tried at the same time to turn the
horse up the side road and to cover
Mrs. Spears mouth SO that she could
not call for help. He did not succeed
in turning the horse and fierce
struggle ensued, during which the
wagon moved on some fourteen rods.
Mrs. Spears strength was finally ex-
hausted, and she was dragged from the
wagon At this point Smith Taylor g
dog began to bark and Mr.. Taylor
came out of his house with lantern
to see what the dog was barking at.
Thinking help was coming, the man
decamped and Mrs. Spear succeeded
in reaching home. Her health is in
firm and she has been recovering but
slowly from the shock No arrest has
been made as yet, as Identification of
the wretch is not certain.

TOBACCO MEN OESPoNDENT.
Low Prices for the Weed Are Forcing
Crouers TO Plant Other Crops.

Tobacco men throughout the State are
predicting that the crop next year viii
be smaller than any grown Tor some
years pact Their opinion is based on
the ground that the farmers have come
10 theconcusion that prices will be poor.
owing to the lack of competition Tor the
weed. They zee that The American com.
pahy and the companies allied with 1t
will not buy IN competition with the In
perIal company because they use differ
emit grades Of tobacco, and therefore there
will he no competition to send the prices
up.
Tobacco growers take a despondeni
view OF the future outlook, owing to the
monopoly OF the market secured by the
trusts. and II is probable that more and
more Of them will turn their attention to
othercrops. In some sections of Virginia
where in recent years tobacco was th'
staple crop, very little Of IL is grown
and farmers are paying all attention Il
corn and other grain crops.

GRAIN FROM THE RnPPAHAN
MOCK.
It's Coming This Way.


A few DAYS ago we published an arti.
Gle showing the advantages farmers
along the Rappahannock areenjoJ ing by
shipping grain To fredericksburg. Large
results have followed and the proof OF
what We stated has been demonstrated
The river boatr brought up this week
on two consecutive days over one thou
sand bushels OF grain each day, and
enough bugs have already been shipped
down to bring 5000 bushels more.
Farmers have their grain put ON board J.,
bag hire free. then come themselves ana
rell il without commission and save sets
per bushel over Baltimore, and have
plenty of time Ia get their money, make
their purchases and lose only one day
from home.
The advantages OF the river llnei TO
fredericksburg and the farmers along
the river are incalculable and will lead
To still greater results Long may the
river boats run and may both make
money. These steamers bring over zen
thousand dollars month to TINS Guy
and everybody gets share OF the trace.
