A petition has been sent up to our members of the legisla ture asking for the "no fence or "stock" law for Averasboro township. We have been in formed that probably a major ity of the land owners in the township favor it, but they will hardly have their wishes grant ed .by this legislature, iis no bill has yet been introduced fori it. The Cumberland county fence will be close by us. A bill passed giving the stock law to a part of Black River town ship in that county. Contracts have been let for several new dwellings to be erected here this spring. We are pleased to know- that our home contractors get the wrork. We need more dwellings for there is not a vacant one in town. The rain storm Sunday night was pretty general all through this section of the coun try.

Much business of impor tance will come before them then. A cotton-weigher for Dunn will be appointed, and we learn that there are a num ber of applicants for this" place. Only one can get it. The board will also have a settlement with Sheriff Pope. Another year has passed and the hogs are still allowed to roam at will over the " town. Are hogs worth more 1 to the town than the health of its cit izens? We have little fever here but the number of cases will increase each year unless more attention is paid to the sanitarv coudition of the town. A p?ep at the condition of some of the back lots will bear out our statement." The Newberry Bros. & Cowell have received their en gine and boiler for their furni ture factory. It is of the latest pattern and of 80-horse power Work on their factory building is being pushed now and in a few weeks they will have all their machinery in and ready for b USineSS. Last week four negro musi cians, styling themselves the "Big 4," struck our town and cave a concert at the town hall for white people. On Wednes-; iei is auernoon ior layette day evening' they furnished ; Ylle- The price of admission music for a dance given by the young men at Jackson House. The music was splendid and the dance enjoyed by a number of our young people. The time of shooting andj trapping partridges expired yes terday. The birds have from now until October 1st to raise and grow. We are of the opin ion that a' law should be passed making it a misdemeanor to shoot or trap partridges or any birds that do no harm to crops, during the times the . ground is covered in snow. This last snow and cold was very bad on" birds, and large numbers were caught in traps or shot. They need some protection at such times. We are iuformed by Sheriff Salmon that there are a num ber of merchants in the county that have failed to list their pur chases from , July 1st 1898 to December 31st 1898 The law requires that the purchases made in that time should be listed and returned to the regis ter of Deeds by the 15th of Jan uary 1899, imposing a penalty of $200 fine for failure to do so, half of the fine to go to the pros ecutor and half to the State. Those merchants, dealers in mules and horses, v and others subject to this tax: that have not listed should do so at once and prevent any trouble, for we suppose that they have simply overlooked this matter.

The excitement was not so in tense until he crossed over Wil son street . Business was su- SUUCU "x none could rest until they knew the cause. He was neither runing from fire,., earthquake, murder, or madrdogs, and,, "vvas far from being crazy. Soon after he crossed Wilson street he landed right into The Union Office, the story was told, and a simple one it was. He de manded everything be stopped and turn him out some hote heads, bill heads, letter heads, envelopes, etc. He proved him self no fool, but to the contrary, an econnomical, wide-awake business man.
