Mr. Jas. R. Meyers of the firm of Walker & Myers, Baltimore, who have owned and operated a saw mill here for a number of years, was in the city thi3xweek and while here sold the mill to our enterprising townsman, Mr, Enoch Ludford. Mr. Ludford is an expert tim ber man of long experience and he informs us that in all probabil ity a stock company will be form ed at once and the mill fitted up for the manufacture of laths, shingles, headings, ect. In our opinoin such a plant would pay well in Plymouth and we trust our people will heartily co-operate with Mr. Ludford in this enterprise. Her Friend, The Enemy. ' 'Her Friend, The Enemy ' ' was presented by local talent on Wed nesday night to probably the lar gest house the Majestic has ever held, the house being completely packed. , The play was carried through from beginning to end without a hitch, and the manner in which eacin participant executed his or her part, reflects great credit upon Mrs. V. T. Nurney, under whose supervision it was produced- So. far we have heard no one say but that they were more than satisfied with the time and money expended, and many have expressed themselves as think ing it surpassed many of the traveling troupes which charge double the admission fee. They left yesterday for Wil liamston where they played last night. They, will play Edenton on Monday night. "Blind Tigers," but Wide ' Awake Officers. On Thursday last Sheriff Reid was notified that Ionia Faulk, wife of King Faulk, (suspected "Tigers, or perhaps "tiger and Tigress") had gone to Norfolk and ' ivould probably return "loaded". The Sheriff together with Chief of Police Newberry, night Police Doughtieand others, boarded the night train at the junction. Ionia was there, so were twj suit cases containing three gallon jugs of liquor each, and the husban j, who had come to meet them. ' Before the train reached the station the Sheriff found one Lemon Little of Greenville on his way home from Norfolk with two suit cases and a large pack age of liquor, and also one Jonas Beamanof Walstonburg, who not only had a suit case but a trunk full as well. The officers took tde whole outfit to jail and on adjournment of court Friday night they were giyen an airing before Recorder Gay lord, who found them all guilty. Ionia, who has a small child, was let go on payment of cost, but the three men were giv en four months on the roads each. All appealed to the Superior Court, and on 'Monday Beaman and Little were heard before Judge Whedbee and upon second conviction were givin.the same dose administered byithe Record er. Faulk's cat e continued until August Term. The seemingly most cruel fea ture of the proceedings was en acted on Wednesday morning when cheriff Reid proceeded to empty1 the confiscated fluid upon the ground near the market hou?e in the presence of a large anc exceedingly thirsty crowd of i-jtatorii.. i Superior Court Proceedings I The following civil cases were disposed of by judgement final in the Superior Court since last issue of this paper and before Dixie uic aujuuiiiiiieiii un lucauit eveninng : W.

Grand Jury Best Ye The Grand Jury of Washington County convened at 12 o'clock P. M., on Monday of last week. it being the first day of this term, and His Honor Judge Harry Whedbee gave them a short me ter charge, yet to the point- G. H. Harrison was made foreman of the body and they reared at 2:45. At 5:05 His Honor Was called up to his hotel, ( the crim inal docket having been disposed of and court having adjourned ) and notified him that the were ready to make their report. The Judge returned to the Court House and received the report and discharged them in a few com plimentary words, saying that he had been on the bench five years and that this jury had bro ken the record, having visited the County Home, the Jail and examined the officers ' of the County discharged every duty required of them in about three hours, -doing in- that time what it would have taken some like bod ies two or three days to have done, thus saving the County several hundred dollars. . He said that their suggestion that a new Court House be built was very timely; that while he, coming here only" once in every few years, could put up with it; that the oM Court House was not what the good citizens of Wash, ington County were entitled to and that the spirit of pride shown by that body, as recommended by that body, ought to arouse the en tire County ; that if it did, it would not be long before this County would have on this spot or some other in the County a Court House that would an orna ment to the County and a credit to her citizenship. He ordered that a copy of the report be served upon the chair, man of the County Commission ers. This jury was composed of some of the best business men from all parts of the county who had the interest of the county in hand were not on the job just to draw their pay and kill time; and His Honor was right when he said that if they had not had to wait for Jim Smith, his good friend, who was always out of the way they should have gotten through an hour sooner.
