Carolina Hoard of Pharmacy in Raleigh j on the 18th. 1 Mr. A. W. Graham is one of the conn- : sel in the Revenue shooting case tried at j Hillsboro this week. Since the cold wave has disappeared the golden tobacco is coming in, and sat isfactory prices are realized. We were pleased to see out riding on Wednesday Mrs. Sol. Cooper, who has been sick for several months. We had the pleasure of meeting on oar streets Tuesday Mr. C. W. Conway, the excellent merchant at Wilton. Mr.J. K. Young, of Henderson, oilers for sale a splendid tract of land near Williamsboro, on most satisfactory terms. Capt. Landis.' excellent milliner, Miss Aldie Travers, is now north buying one of the finest lines of millinery ever seen in Oxford. which he failed to return over to court in the sum of $75, failing in which he was locked up. We were pleased to meet on out breaks Tuesdiy several of our farmer friends in Ihe persons of Messrs. S. II. Longmire, T. W. Yergan, M. S. Daniel, S. It. Parham and II. II. Iletlin. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. J. Feild returned from their bridal trip on Tuesday, and held a reception at the residence of Capt. R. P. Hughes the same evening from S to 11 . It was a very pleasant affair. We direct the attention of our read ers to the advertisement of valuable farm land for sale in Person c unty. Remem ber this is a rare opportunity to purchase a splend d farm in this good old county. We are more than gratified to learn that Mr. II. O. Furman, who lately took the rod in the interest of a large drug ; house in New York, has met with such success that, the house has increased Ids salary. Granville County is still ahead on fine tobacco. Mr. Henry T. Knott, Sr., sold some line tobacco Tuesday at the Al liance warehouse at an average of $-10 00 for all grades. The quality of this tobac co speaks well for the Durham fertilizer, which was used in its production. There are to-day 2,002 sub Alliances in North Carolina and ninety-Jive coun ties have county Alliances besides. That is all the counties save one, and that one is New Hanover. There are some sub Alliances in that county, but as yet the countv Alliances has i.o: been formed. NEWS A1J0UT THE STATE. trustworthy and affable business men, has at last become a benedict. He was mar ried on Wednesday evening last to Miss Belle Goode, of Mecklengburg county, Va.,who is well-known and recognized as :i most estimable voting lady. She is the i daughter of Mr. E. B. Goode, a promi nent farmer who resides near Five Forks. After the ceremony the guest were in vited into the dining room where every thing that could tempt the appetite was served in an elaborate manner in honor of the nuptual. A large number of our ladies and gen tlemen were in attendance. They were Misses Annie Landis, Fannie Hughes and Berta Burton, Mrs. A. Landis, Drs. W. O. Baskervill, J. E. Wyche, John G.

A CoiTfctioH In the proceedings of the County Com missioners published last week we did an injustice to Mr. L. G.Smith in stating that he was allowed $11 80 for 4 cords of wood furnished the county. The follow ing is the bill as presented to the com missioners : Granville County, To L. G. Smith, Dr. 4 cords of wood, at $2 50. per cord, $ 10 00 Cutting up and putting away, 1 SO ! Total, $11 80 ; The price paid for cutting and putting away up stairs in the Court room is con- sidered very Jow, and shows that Mr. L. ii. Smith has an eye single to economy. We understand he is looked upon as be i ing the "watch dog" of the county treas- nry. In fact no county in the State has a A Jc-noral Epitome of Recent Occur rences Around ami About I". From tlie lIountaiiiM to tlie Sea. as Fulled from our Slate Fapers. In Sampson county ,two weeks ago.Miss James Henry was married to Mr. Henry James. Matrimonial records do not proba bly furnish aj parallel. The details of a mammoth undertaking in light-house building hav been published The struct ure is to be1 on Diamond shoals, Cape TJatteras. It is to be in twenty-four feet of water, one hundred and fifty feet above low-water mark, and to cost $500000 The condition of Revenue Officer Kirkpatrick is reported as more hopeful It is now thought by his physician that he may yet recover the sight of the eye which was at first thought to be hopelessly gone. As the inll anmation subsides a little light is perceptible by the worst injured organ. The other one will be all right. Only the size of the shot rendered possible his es cape from death. Commissioner Rob inson, of Deparment of griculture, had a car load of guano seized belonging to a company which had not taken out a license to sell in this State. The goods were seiz ed at Dunn, in llainett county, and be longing to Anverican Fertilizer Company, of Norfolk.-r-The New Berne authori ties are determined to prosecute the gambleis who -infested the place during tlie ftdr week fjefore last, all of who were captured, and! have since been held in cuttody. Sfartling figures are reported I from Halifax bounty regarding the dis- astrous shortage of this year's crop in that J section. It lias been definitely ascertained that that line stretch of cotton land near Palmyra, consisting of 15.0C0 acres, which has always produced 2,000 bales of cotton or more, produced this year by actual ISerea .lotlins. Mr. R. L. Clarke is sick witlt the grip. The wheat crop of this section is look ing well. Miss Alice Fuller is visiting friends in Roxboro. The cold weather has killed all the to bacco plants. The pneumonia has accompanied the grip in several cases around here. Johnnie Reagan, who lias been very sick with pneumonia, is much better. The recent rains and cold weatlier have convinced the bugs that they came ot.t too soon. The Berea Alliance has had several ac cessions of late, and tlie farmers seem to have lost the proverbial "hay seed," and are determined to revolutionize this gov ernment. Some one lias said "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation." One of our best men, who has kept that commandment about multiplying, told us the other day that he had been suffering for several days with tlie grip; that he went to his home to go to lied, but found three in one bed, two in anoth er, and so on, so he did not even enter his complaint, but went back to Ii is shop and went to work. It is no respecter of per sons. Une ot our darkeys, whose lan guage is not always of the best Sunday School English, found that it had entered his humble cabin uninvited and fastened itself to the nape of his neck, wrenched his sides and struck him plump in the chest, so Sambo was forced to succumb.

Tom O vet by, a negro, was captured near Shoo Fly Wednesday by Messrs. L. Goss and Rufus Aiken with the horse stolen from Mr. R. W. Stark a few nights ago. The negro was brought to Oxford yesterday and lodged in jail. There must be a band of these thieves in the county as a horse was stolen from Mr. II. II. Harris at Flat River on the night of the 12th. Farmers look out for your horses. Bad blood causes dyspepsia and dys pepsia reacts by causing bad blood. So both go on, gro xing worse, until the whole system is poisoned. The surest means of relief for the victim is a thor ough and persistent course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. fertilizers therein badly damaged. The building was valued at $10,000 and the stock at $20,000. There is $17:000 insu rance, of which $0,500 is in foreign com panies, $1,500 in the Southern Insurance Company, $1,000 in the Virginia Fire and Marine, and $1,000 in the N. C. Home, the remainder being in Hartford and Philadelphia companies. The factory will arrange to supply all its customers. In front of the factory there were several freight cars, five of which were burned. Three belonged to the Richmond & Dan ville railway and two to the Durham & Northern railway. Greensboro A Blue Wins Itailroad. , The project of connecting Greensboro j by an almost direct or air line railroad j with Norfolk, says a correspondent of the Richmond Times, continues to grow with steadily increasing interest. It is a re cent conception, but its promoters are sanguine. A straight shoot from Gieens boro to Blue AVing, Granville county, and tap the Atlantic : Danville at that pi. ice. The part of the route to be thus built would traverse parts of Alamanc e, Gran ville and Orange counties, north of the North Carolina Railroad, and thus give shipping facilities to the finest golden tobacco belt in the State, to say nothing of the splendid fruit growing section that is now practically shut in. A Xew Ieal. The newspaper interest of Sandford and Jonesboro, which are only two miles part, will be combined ami go out to the world as one paper. This Is undoubtedly an excellent move and will result in great good to both of the towns, as well as give the editors a chance to live. The Jones boro department will be conducted by Mr. Flowers Seawell, a graduate of the University and a good writer, the Sand ford end will continue to be held up by the able editor of the Express. The name of the paper will be changed and the date line will read Jonesboro and Sandford. Spring Getting- a Start. The sudden winter snap knocked out which has befallen the Roanoke section. The oyster shucking industry is on tlie increase at Elizabeth City, New Berne and other points along the eastern waters. Large numbers of negro oyster ush tickers" are constantly arriving at these points. These "shuclleis" are expert. They make good wages, jreceiving twenty five cents per gallon for all the oysters they get out, with the privilege of eating all they want. In this way they get their board without expense and without interruption in the day's workl-r At Hickory two important damage suftsl have been brought against the Richiioiid and Danville Railroad. Mrs. Harriet E. Sherrill has instituted suit for $1,000 for the killing of her hus band ten .'lays ago, and Mrs. Sarah A. Moose is also suing for $10,000 for the killing of lu r husband, J. R. Moose, in October last. A quarry of fine building stone has been opened in Moore county, near the line, of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rililroad. It is owned by W. II. Sm'th, wliO will put in $50,000 worth of machinery. Tlie output of the quarry will be shipped to Wilmington. The branch revenue oillce at Winston, sold stamps in February amounting to $08,500. A Mr. Bethel, of Cabarrus county, and liis wife, died within a few weeks of each other, leaving a family of five young children- The two oldest were taken by neighbors. The other three were sent to the Oxford asylum. A man named of Joe Beam, living as a tenant on a farm a few miles from Charlotte, while out hunting treed some kind of an animal, and getting assistance killed the "var mint " and found it to be a large cata- From Adouirain. Wheat crops are looking remarkably well. A good many of our best farmers are preparing to build new and substantial dwelling this summer. Our farmers have sown a very large crop of oats this spring. The winter sow ing of oats have been much damaged by the oat louse. Farmers are very busy burning more plant lands on account, of the hard freeze which killed out the entire prospect for plants. Being the vt-ry best time for burning, nothing will hinder making a good crop of tobacco if seasons will suit from this out. The Atlantic & Danville Railroad has put up the telegraph wires and estab lished an office at Tucks X Roads, near Blue Wing, and it seems that a large town will be built at that place at once. A good many lots have been so.l there to Pennsylvania capitalists, and they will erect houses on them immeiiiately. Ev erything bids fair for a lively town in the near future. G. D. P. Iots Derived From !:. Ine . Six thousand pounds of ship stuff and a quantity of groceries for the Alliance at this place have just been received. Captain Will Burroughs, of this place, received a letter Monday from Dr. C. D. Wyche, at Pittsburg, in which he states that he will not marry the Pittsburg lady as was expected.

Uphcurch, Clerk Superior Court of Wake, says "it means good bye to all the Republican candidates for Congress. I shall speak right out and expect to denounce the Harrison Bdministration from the stump all over Wake county next fall." Raleigh, for the year ending February 28th, is interesting and valuable. There were 202 deaths during the year, in a population (in the city proper) estimated at 15-0(0. The death rate was 13.50 for whites..; 21.68 for colored; or 17.46 for all. ThisSisavery fine showing. It proved Raleigh's healthfulness. 1 ; Miss Bessie II.
