It would be a grand scheme, and would add thousands of dollars to the worth of real estate in the suburbs as well as the city proper. Ex-Mayor Thompson informs us that he received today rather dis couraging news from his farm five miles from the city. He says that while the frozt yesterday morning did not damage bis cotton generally, yet it was hurt somewhat in streaks, probably rendering it necessary to replant. Capt. W. H. Green, General Man ager of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, has just emerged from a long siege of the grippe.

An old man named Simeon Conoly was murdered a few days since, in Robinson county, and it has leaked out that the crime was committed by a nephew named A. Mc. Dougal, a prominent merchant of Lauriuburg for the purpose of getting the amount of insurance on the life of his uncle, for his benefit. The murderer blacked himself with lamp black and going to Conoly's house called him out to show a pathway. Going along McDougal shot his victim. The mur derer was afterwards seen in the act of washing his clothes in Lumber River. There is great excitement oVer the matter, and the commis sioners of the county have offered a big reward for the criminal. Died.
