We are informed that mail ser vice will be put on between Lum- berton and Hope Mills, over the V. & C. S., on the first day of October. This is good news to Lumberton, insomuch that it will put mail here from the north about four or five hours earlier. Rev. R. W. Townsend. of Rae- ford, was in our city on last Thursday. Mr. M. J.

We are unable to get any details of what the doctors found, but what we can learn, the doctors failed to find any signs of Distal shot wounds. This weakens the confession of Malloy, or Green, as he stated in his eonfftssion that Ross was shot two or three times. Some are inclined to br ieve that Malloy, or Green, com mitted the murder himself, and that the negroes held on his con fession will have no trouble to prove an alibi. J. M.
