Another Freight Train Needed With the approach of fall the roovin of the crops requires more freight service on the railroads, and it is to be hoped that the authorities of the Wilmington and Weldon road will put a daily freight train on the Scothnd Ncek and G-reen ville road. List season it was found necessary to run a daily freight on this branch, which was reduced to a tri weekly during the dull season. It should again be run dailv. The mail train otigl not to bo required to do freight businer every other day. It is an unnecessary inconvenience to the travelling public and the travelling public has some rights. W have no doubt, however, that nnotht freight train will be put on the road at an early day. Sent on for Housebreaking. Saturday night about 1 o'clock several gentlemeu who were in their room above Messrs. P. N.

She was put under arrest and tried before Mayor Gooch Monday, who sent her to jail in default of bail to await the action of the grand jury. Het name was Annie Day and she said the goods were .iven to her. The window had been broken with a brick.
