STORE ROBBED AT FREMONT
YelvertOn Brothers Sustain Losses
Blind Tiger Cases Disposed of.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Goldsboro, April 13.-The store Of
Velverton Bros. at Fremont, WIS
broken into last night by unknown
parties and several suits of clothes
were missing this morning. 1t is
roughly estimated that more than a
hundred dollars worth of goods were
stolen. The police of this city were
notified of the thief carly this lcorn-
ing, and have been on the lookout for
the thieves, but so far they have
learned nothing.
In superior court here today Judge
Council disposed of a number of blind
tiger cases by sending the defendants
to the roads for different terms of
service. In the crowd were both col
ored men and women and white men.
The case of r. B. Williams, a white
man and a painter by trade, was u
truly sad one. When he was convict
ed. by his side sat his wife and on
his knees were his two children. The
tears of his wife and the cries of his
children were pitiable to behold. More
than half the audience that beheld
the scene dropped tears Of sympathy
for the unfortunate victim.

To PUSH THE SALE OF
ROGUE RIVER LANDS
Fruit and Dairy Farms q Speci-
atty With New Grants Pass
r Real Estate Firm.

The newest real estate firm for
Grants Pass is Meserve & Meade,
who have opened an office in room
three on the second floor of the
Courier block. The firm is made up
of Charles Meserve, for the last two
years on the editorial staff of the
Rogue River Courier, and who is
now secretary and manager of the
Grants Pass Fruit Growers Union,
and fruit inspector for Josephine
county, and II. V. Meade, for the last
four years foreman of the Courier S
composing room and resident of
Grants Pass for the past II years.
Both Mr.. Meserve and Mr. Meade
are we'll known in this county and
have good standing for integrity
and business ability. They will
make a speciality of handling fruit
and dairy lands and they expect to
push the development of the fruit
and dairy industries. Mr.. Meserve
by his thorough knowledge of this
section of Rogue River Valley, gained
through his connection with the fruit
industry and in the various series of
farmers institutes and fruit growers
meetings that he has assisted in hold
ing, will be able to give prospective
buyers full information as to the var.
ious kinds of lands that are found in
this Valley. The soil and formation
of Rogue River Valley is extremely
variable and on single section may
be found land the surface indications
of which is very much the same to a
stranger yet one part may be best
adapted to apples, another to pears, to
grapes, to peaches, or to alfalfa.
While to grow either of these on land
not adapted to them would bring at
least partial failure of the crop.
In probably no other section of the
Pacific Coast is land so variable in
surface soil, subsoil formation and
topography as it is in Rogue River
Valley, and it is largely due to this
that so many persons make such dis.
astrous failures in attempting to raise
fruit and other crops in this county.
To give intending purchasers the
fullest information possible as TO
where can he had the land especially
adapted to the crop they propose to
grow will be the rule of Messrs Me.

sires to grow apples will not be in

fiuenced to buy red hill land, where
only cranes Can best be grown, nor
black, wet bottom land adapted only
to alfalfa, nor granite land the
home of the peach. The rule will
be to SO treat customers that they will
have no occasion to rue their dealing
with the firm. but will feel disposed
to commend them to their friends.

the entire exhibit was draped bunting
