Suffolk is a to.?n of 5,500 inh'abis tants, to split the difference between two estimates. It is a clean, hand, some place. Wide streets, lighted by arc and incandescent electric lignts, are split in the middle by horse street cars, except one that is some times a mule-car. They charge 5 cents to ride on these cars to Nansemond river, or 8 rides for a quarter of a dollar that's cheaper. The resnlenctB are, on the average1, the neatest and handsomest I ever saw in a town of that size. "Unlike Concord, it has bar rooms, and quite a number. The markethouse is larger than Cannon's factory and the tower is decorated with the town clock.

I was told that this town shipped more oysters and lumber than any town in Yirginia. Lumber goes there by thousands of feet from North Carolina for shipment by boats to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. Suffolk is a boat build ing town.

Suffolk ha3 a daily paper, "The Progress;" it is owned by a Mr. Wil cox, of Portsmouth, whom I met in Raleigh last November. Well do I remember the little fiat white derby the affable gentleman wore. The people are kind and hospita ble, many of whom are North Caro. liniaus ; if they ain't, th'jy ought to be. Norfolk is the town of Yirginia, It throb3 with life itself. To fully realize its importance, one must visit it. Yirginia Beach i? the worst over rated place in America, so to speak. It is, a3 a pleasure resort, no better than Morehead and can not compare wih our own Carolina Beach. Style is the fhiefest attraction there, but a fellow ivith the ennui can't re enrerate very on a diet like that. If an body is wanted by the Police authorities of Philadelphia, you had better examine the portraits and descriptions of men wanted before you visit South Eastern Yirginia. If you resemble any one slightly, stay away, or you'll be run in, sure. About one month ago, a gentle man with black hair and mustache, who wore "specs" and was about 28 years old, left Philadelphia without complying to some legal demands. The description said he was "weal thy" and thought to be "demented." A North Carolinian happened in a town of South Eastern Ya. The chief of police followed him four squares, believing the North Caro linian was the man wanted, and that the $300 reward would soon be his. The deputy sheriff doubted the accuracy of the chic-fa suspi cions. The chief thought, himself, that the man didn't walk like a representative cf wealth ; if he did, the chief swore he wasn't used to it. At any rate the North Carolinian had a eleal of trouble in convincing the Chief of Police that he was not "demented," but pleaded guilty to the charge of "specs" and "wealth." N. B.

According to the statement of Mr. Samuel TJnter- nieyar, of the law firm of Gugen- heimer & Uutermeyer, a wall paper trust was perfected yesterday. It is said that fully forty of the leading manufacturers of the country are interested, and the value of the pro perty involved iu the eleal is said to exceed $200,000,000. The promoters deny that the affair ia a "trust." Mr. Untermeycr says the purpose of the move is to reduce expenses, not torn crease prices. One of J. A.

Ocatou Has a rron i:-io At the railroad crossing on Beat ties Ford road, the cuts are deep and an approaching train can not be seen or heard unless a signal is blown. Monday evening as the heavy cloud was rapidly coming up, Mr. Deaton was diing at a brisk rate to get home before the rain. Just as he got within five feet of the railroad the lady with him eaid, I believe there's a traiu, and Deaton gave his horse such a sudden jerk that he fell on his hind legs, break ing the shafts. In a moment, the train dashed by at a f ist speed. Had the lady not accidentally heard the rumbling noise of the train, she, Mr. Reaon ami the team would have been caught on the track It is worst kind of negligence the engineers have in not blowing the signal at such places. The Standard learns that several other parties have had narrow es--capes at thi3 very place recently. It strikes us that it would be an easy matter to pull the whistle cord at that place. TI10 Orntor nntl Whmih. An amusing incident happened recently at a popular resort not a thousaud miles from Concord. A literary individual of the oratorical genus, tweli known for his hyperbol ic composition, as well as for his exhaustive disquisition on billy-goats and rats, was spending a few days at said resort for the betterment of his physical condition. He was de-lighte-d with the place its beautis ful scenery, gigantic forests, and especially its meandering rivulet flowing close by the health-giving spring. The meandering rivulet had for him an irresistible attrac tion. It reminded him of days gone by. A suelden impulse seized him. He became a boy again. In a mo ment shoes aud sto-. kings were di3 carded, his pants were rolled up above kis knees, and elown the rivu let he went wading and splashing, nothing abashed by the presence of the ladies at the spring. About twenty yards below the spring a foot-log spans the rivulet high enough for a boy to pass beneath. Oa reaching this log and attempting to pass under, the aforesaid wader dis turbed the usual serenity and tran quillity cf a wasp family. This disturbance brought on a lively state of affairs for the intruder. The wasps seeing his lovely counte nance and shapely leg3 were moved to greet them with a stinging kiss. Then there was screaming and roll ing down of pants with one hand and beating the air with the other. It was a picture that only an artist can paint.

There seeni3 to be a lot of valuable breath lost around our town, blow ing for or over Democratic, Repub lican and last of all Third party polities. No-v did you ever think how little breath was lost on blow about our town? Say for instance our Fire Department, the most neg lected organization here. If the citizens took the pride in this branch they should, they would soon have a Fire Department not only to be prouel of but one they could rely on in that dark hour of need. You gentlemen, who work so hard for votes, and are so anxious to ocs cupy the position of city fathers, what is the reply of your couscienc-'S when you ask yourselves, if you ever do, whether yon are doing your whole duty to these men who are doing a thanky job and giving their best time and often there best clothes, to serving the people?

The case was heard by Messrs. Boss and Bed wine Justices of Peace. John Biles claimed they had caused the separa'ion of him and his wife; she denied it. The Stan ly news has this to say ; Not having sufficient evielence to convict them, the magistrates re leased the Mormons. But though there was no written lt.w to get them out of the way, there was a moral law inscribed upon the hearts of our people, ami when the saiuta (?) walked out cf the house they were met by a crowd of citizens who were determined to rid our county of such evil3. Mr. J. 11. Burris, their leader, told the Mormons in a de cided tone that they must leave or be carried out of the county. They read the same in the resolute faces of the crowd aud quickly promised to leave on the next day. This sat isfied the people and violence was thus avoideei. We learu that their counsel also advised them to leave. The Mormons have gone, and now let us have peace. II McNamara ia in Lynchburg, Ya., selling his house-cleaning brush rights.

As the bus got oa the track, below the depot, a freight was pulliug in from the North ; had the '-'us been 2 seconds later the smash would have occurred. The train could not be seen, being obstructed by depot and box cars on the track. None on the bus heard any station blow, r.or was any warning given, sntil the freight was within 15 feet of the bus (then on the track) aud then the danger signal was blown. "Uncle Ephraim," the flagman, was engaged in checking trunks and of course was not there with his flag. The engineers are becoming too careless they don't Mow signals at crossings, and statements to the contrary are not true. The bus dri ver needs to be a little more 'careful, too, a3 he took his sweet time in getting off the track, but he may have been terribly frightened like the rest of us. Somebody will be killed at thi3 depot, and it looks now to be proba ble at no early day. The local man agement is not worthy of censure, but the fault lie3 with 6ome head long engineers. Only n Kout:i-nu. An er.citing discussion between a stalwart Democrat and a Eowan Weaverite occurred in the Standard ofiice Wednesday afternoon. The Bo wan man claimed to be a Demo crat and gave his reason for his com. version to the faith of the Third Party. He asserted that at one of the recent Democratic primaries in Kowan a dozen Democrats controll-, ed the primary and prevented the majority from defeating the purpose of the call. Therefore he abandoned the Democratic party and cast in his lot with the Third party. The stalwart asked him, "is it not true that the majority of those present at the primary came togeth er to capture eaid primary in the interest of the Omaha ticket ? And if that was the case, how could he proye loyalty to Democracy ?" The Kowan man did not give a direct answer, but seemed to argue tint the majority, no matter how disloyal to pronounced Democracy, had the right to control a primary called in the interest of the Democratic party. It was the same old argument of capture if you can, and if you can't, howl about the rights of the down trodden majority. But majority of what? Certainly men who have pledged to vote for undemocratic measures, in advance of the calling of a Democratic primary, cannot be called Democrats, 'and ought not to think of participating in such a pri- mary. No other course is consist tent, anel no other is honorable. The funny part about this discus siou was that the stalwart found out later in the evening that he had been trying to pour light upon the benighted mind of a Bepublican.
