there are no better to be found in the

Fayetteville, ana However lively the
competition for this trade may be it will

from the mule seller one hundred dol

in a short while that the check was
worthless, ho sought the swindler who

It is understood that the Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue will not re
commend a change in the tobacco or
whiskey tax. Mr. Leipald, one of
the Commissionei-s of the Freodman's
Bank, has prepared, in anticipation of
being called upon by Congress so to do,
a report setting forlu the actual condi
tion of the financial a flairs of that insti
tution. It may have been an oversight
on the part of Congress, but as the law
now is, those in charge of the bank are
not required to mako a report to any
one. Anticipating such a call, howev
er. he report has been made out, and
covers upwards of fifteen hundred pages
of manuscipt, showing ihe available
asset's on hand, and the liabilities of the
bank, classifying its assets as "good,"
' bad," and "absolutely worthless." It
is the intension to print this report after
the session of Congress in pamphlet
form for the examination of those inte
rested. From tne reooit it would ap
pear that the bank is in a worse condi
tion than has been anticipated. Up to
date the total amount of assets collected
and in hand is but seventy thousand
dollars, which is scarcely three per cent
of the liabilities. Miss Neilson has
concluded a brilliantly successful week
atSavill's National theatre. The New
