If our town officials will lake the trouble to examine the Hues, ntove pipes and chim nies iu this town they will not fail to see the importance of having a Fire Inspector whose duty it shall be to make weekly vis its to every ho"se in the town and see that the flues and stove pipes are safely arrang ed. Seventy-five per cent, of the fires are caused from defective flues, aud as a matter of safety to the town such au orllcer should be appointed at once and given power to condemn all defective flues, and pipes and to have tho same safely arranged at the ex pense of the owners. Existing circumstan ces demand that this safeguard be placed about the town, aud we appeal to those iu authority to give us this protection. . We are requested to announce that Dr. W.

He is well known throughout the State and comes highly recommended. marl7-tf Charged with Arson. Deputy Sheriff Jesse Nooney, of Crosweli, arrived here Friday night with Darius Jennett, col., and com mitted hiui to jail under charge of arson. It appears that Bennett was re cently ejected from n house in Ores well by process under mortgage. Then and there said Bennett is re ported as prophesying that if any one moved into that house lightning should striko it the first night. A family moyed in and that night tho house was burned, the inmates bare ly escaping, and Bennett is now rest ing behind the bars, awaiting tho ac tion of the Superior Court. A Sad Death. On Saturday morning last our people were shocked to learn that Mr. Charlie Weede was dying, lie was taken ill just a week before with pneumonia, but his condition was not considered serious until Thurs day, from which time he grew worse until released by deathit 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. iMr. Weede was in his ililh year, bom and raised on a farm near this town. About two years ago he ac cepted a position as salesman with W. C. Ayers. lie was a faithful employe, a clever companion and a moral young man, and had won a warm place in the hearts of ouijieo ple, who mingle their tears with those of a fond father and mother, brothers and sisters who mourn his seemingly untimely death, llis re mains were removed from his room iu tho store-Saturday evening, being taken to the home of his parents in the country, where they were inter red Sunday afternoon. A Cemetery a Necessity. Ere many years shall pass Ply mouth will not lie a burying ground. The time will come when as a mat ter of necessity the town wiil pass an ordinance prohibiting the inter ment of dead bodies within the town. or if this is not done, it is only a matter of time when all the availa ble space will be taken up. how, as a matter ol reason, we surest that this town have a ceme tery; let our people co-operate in making such a place worthy those who sleep beneath the sod, by giv ing it every care and attention. in view of ibis i.ecessity, Jlr. D. O. Briukley has consented to lay oil' and put iu sliaje a cemetery ou the hill at the right as you pass uow.i tho lloper road. This is a pretty site, high, level and set with young oaks, which with a little work could be made a beautiful place. Mr. Briukley does not ask the town to purchase the laud, all he re quires is the co-operation of enough of our citizens to justify him in ma king the necessary improvements. Will our people not consider this matter? It is our duty. Better Mail Service Needed. That the people of Washington county are having to suffer great in convenience because of the iusuf liciency of a mail service, is most sadly true. There is supposed to be a daily mail route between Plymouth and all the offices of the county, but such is a farce. Even a letter mailed at lloper, (distance S miles) does not reach Plymouth in Jess than two days, and often longer, to say no thing of the lower offices. Hoping to remedy this evil, a pe tition is being circulated asking the department to establish a star route between Plymouth and Mackey's Ferry. From the fact that the mail from all the lower offices is carried to Mackey's Ferry, it seems to us that the route from there to Fly month is a necessity in order to in sure the prompt transmission of the mails. With this route established the mail for Plymouth could come di rect instead of having to go to Edenton, thence to Norfolk, and around by rail several hundreds of miles to get eight. For the conve nience of the people throughout the county, we hope this route may soon be established. Tobacco a Town Builder. From experiences of other towns we say that tobacco is a "town builder." Look at Greenville and Scotland Neck, to say nothing of the Western towi-ss. These towns have made Vapid progress during the past few years. Tobacco did it. Note the lin uncial progress made by the farmers of Granville, Greene, Pitt, Halifax and other tobacco growing counties. Then wonder why Washington county faruers are not seeking to advance their interests by the culti vation of tobacco. Wonder, if you will, why Plymouth is notencourag ing the farmers to grow tobacco. There is no reason whatever, save that we are loth to deprrt from cot ton and peanuts, and thus grow poorer and poorer year by year. Mr. W. J. Pairmoore, an experi enced tobacco grotver, of Edgecombe, is' in our midst and has induced several of our farmers to put in a few acres this year as an experiment. He tells us that our land is equally as well adapted to tho grovving of. the weed as Pitt, Granville or any other county., lie is here to remain. and his services can be had at small cost, if others wish to try a crop this year. Thus far there is about fifty acres to be pianted. Tim of course will show just what can bo done, and how the farmers planting it may be benelitted. , Let others grasp this opportunity to oetter tneir condition. A MEMOIll.

Weede, and wafted his soul home to the rattier in neaven. tie was confined to his room a week with a severe case of pneu monia.
