It is a pleasure to us to note the prosper

Citv will keerj it shinine brilliant.lv-w

The continued wet weather is not
only bad for outdoor workmen in town
but it 13 is interfering with the tillers of
the soil, so the farmers tell us. Many
have not yet been able to burn plant beds
preparatory for another year's crop of to
bacco, and it is getting rfither late to
begin this work now. On this account
many predict that there will be a scarcity
of plants, and the result will be a small
crop of the weed raised this year.
It is predicted that less tobacco will be
planted in Virginia this year than any
season since the war. There are two
reasons for this. In the first place, farm
labor was never so scarce, as the negroes
are all leaving the country for the public
works,, and those who remain demand
higher wages. Secondly, the farmer is
beginning to realize that it pays him
better to cultivate his ground and to
raise the quality ot the article. The re
sult will be very little inferior tobacco
grown, and better prices will result.
Forewarned is Forearmed.
The business men of Oxford are equal
to any to be found elsewhere. The to
bacco dealers and warehousemen deserve
credit for what they have done for the
town in the past but latterly for some
reason or other while Oxford has been
selling a great deal of tobacco, there has
much tobacco been sold on other markets
that properly and legitimately belongs to
the Oxford market. This information
we think is reliable and therefore we
urge our warehousemen and others inter
ested to buckle on their armor and see to
it that Oxford, certainly one of the best,
if not the very best, tobacco market in the
State shall sell her full fdiare of tobacco.
We know that our town can compete with
any of our neighboring markets most suc
cessfully as we have plenty of money to
pay for the tobacco, and also have facili
ties not to be surpassed. We learn that
some very active work is being done by
representatives of competing markets in
the way of drumming by having agents
or drummers at the various railroad sta
tions accessible to market who have been
putting in effective work for getting the
farmers when they carry tobacco to these
depots, to carry to their marKets instead
of Oxford. A great deal of tobacco that
would otherwise be brought to Oxford
has no doubr been shipfjed to other points
through influences of this kind. Oxford
' being in the heart of the bright tobacco
belt and one of the enterpris
ing snd progressive towns of
North Carolina, we believe will assert
lier strength i
handling the tobacco of
the farmers, and only a word of warning
is nec essary. We Delieve it is a fact that
Oxfoid leads all other markets in paying
high prices for the finest grades of to
bacco, and many of the farmers who
think with us patronize our market.

THE RECORDS.
I see your Commissioners and Magis
trates, in joint session, have decided to
enlarge the court house and put in vaults
for the preservation of the books and
records of your county. It "will take
some money to accomplish the work, but
you have the money and cannot more
wisely use it. A prudent foresight
should characterize your action in the
matter, f see some member of our Leg
islature has introduced a resolution to
restore the public records in counties
where destructive fires have occurred and
burnt them. I trust such a resolution
will not be applicable to such an intelli
gent county as yours. Granville county
is an old and worthy county,, and has had
many transactions of an important nature
the evidence of which could- not be traced
were your records destroyed by fire. A
great many of the deeds of your people
have been lost by the carelessness of their
owners, and the evidence of the title
under which their descendants hold their
lands ought not to be lost in the ashes.
It might be necessary to prove the legal
marriage and the date of their marriage
of parties in your county to enable their
descendants to come in possession of
property left by a deceased relative , I
hesitated writing this fearing some might
think I was actuated by selfish motives
in the matter. But such is not the case.
I simply wished to give to the people of
my native county my views in the matter

TWO LITTLE KITTENS.
Two little kittens, one stormy night,
Began to quarrel, and then to fight.
One had a mouse, and the other had none,
And that was the way the quarrel begun.
"I'll nave that mouse," said the bigger
cat.
"You'll have that mouse ! We'll see about
that."
"I will have that mouse," said the elder
son.
"You shan't have that mouse!" said the
little one.
I told you before 'twas a stormy night
When these two kittens began to fight;
The old woman seized her sweeping
broom
And swept the two kittens right out of
the room .
The ground was covered with frost and
snow
And the two little kittens had no where
to go.
So they iai4 them down on the mat at
'the door
While the old wojuan finished sweeping
the floor.
Then they crept in as quiet as mice,
All wet with snow and as cold as ice,
For they found it was better that stormy
nieht
To lie down and sleep than to quarrel
and fight.
Moral: The Legislature should imi
tate the old woman's example.

BELLEVUE.
Being shut off from the outside world
for so long a time by swollen creeks and
constant floods of rain, I have felt a great
desire to communicate with that same
"world," if only to say that we are stili
"alive and flourishing" out here in tnis
quiet neighborhood, even though we
have failed to receive a single copy of
the Ledger since the New Year began.
I do not know how it is with my neigh
bors, however, as until a few days ago, we
had not beheld the face of one of them
for many a day; and then it was a face
that we little expected to greet through
such storms and winds and floods" not
to speak of the bottomless roads ! Yet it
was no other than the venerable, but stili
hale and genial countenance of our old
friend Capt. Gil, from the Stovall neigh
borhood. Yes, he came riding up like a
youth of twenty-five, upon a spirited
horse, which he told us "was twenty-
three years old," and this elicited the
fact that it was the 22nd of February,
and the eighty-third birthday of the Cap
tain himself, as well as another distin
guished personsge whose name may not
be as familiar as that of our friend the
Captain, but is at least as famous. We
are not wine drinkers at Bellevue, or we
would have given him a special "toast
ing," but we pledged his health and hap
piness in a glass of good home made
'cimmon beer. And we hopa Jhat for
many years to come we may find him as
hale, b.eartv, genial and sensible as he is
to-day.
Well we are happy to inform the "out
side world" that we have to-day (the 24th)
some bright sunshine, for which we are
heartily thankful ; as it seemed as if our
entire Lenten season was to be one of
and other "flowers that bloom in the
spring," and we have been looking over
our seed box and overhauling our hoes
and rskes with a view to gardening. We
are also trimming our grape vines and
shrubbery, and the incessant cackling
from the hen house reminds us that we
should be attending to the demands for
eggs to set upon. I have heard, though
it may be but the voice of rumor, that
some precious hens in the neighborhood
have already hatched out their broods;
but I wi 11 not vouch for the truth of this
hens are usually too wise and provident
to be premature with their offspring. The
young lambs, however are frisking
around and welcoming the sunshine with
tails in the air, and gambols that would
do credit to a company of trained acro
bats We hope that all "outsiders" are
having a good time, and that there will
be a "boom" in lhe money market as that
is the scarcest article with us just now.

Salem Township.
The bill that passed the Legislature
creating Salem township has been
amended as follows:
The amendment provides that the
boundaries of said township shall begin
at the point where Sassafras Fork and
Oxford township lines meet on Vance
county line, thence in a southernly direc
tion with? Vance county line to John E.
Callis' house, thence a due west line to
Fishing Creek, thence up the meanders
of Fishing Creek to the O. & C. Railroad,
thence with said railroad to Sassafras
Fork township line, thence with said
township line to the beginning, and the
territory south of the due west line from
Mr. Callis' house is restored to Oxford
township.
It also provides that Salem township
shall not be released from her portion of
the Oxford township debt, and that the
hands liable to work the Clark sville road
shall still rtmain on said road though
they may live in Salem township.
Cbas. F. Crews, Amos Dean and J. B.
