In the cause of Mary Ellen Wal ters vs. 'WW Stewart, bastard v, J udge Adams reversed his ruling as - pub lished in our last i -sue and dis missed the matter. Quite an Item. f Some of the insurance men repre senting the different companies were here this week and it was learned that when our. water works are put in the rates on the business houses, stocks of, merchandise, etc., will be reduced on an average of 40 per cent. Isn't this an inducement to go for ward in this matter? y This of itself should make it a popular issue. - But aside from the reduction of insur ance rates, with a good system of water works 'no one would feel called upon to carrv as much t insurance as at present but would carry his own insurance, feeling safe in so doing. Again, you can have' wrater all over your house, in your front yard, pretty iountains playing- on your lawns cooling the parching atmosphere. If wre ever expect our town to prosper we mut go to work ourselves and get jn the procession wi th other li ve towns. : We now have an opportun ity to make an advanced step and we cal I upon our worthy M ay or and 'commissioners 10 do their duty and give us water works. , Of , course, there are some who are opposed to this advance step, for that was to be expected, but a large majority are in favor of it, and the-future welfare of our, town demands it.. . . ' - Mr. Knox, the engineer, "has made his report and recommended either of two plans. Decide which is the most plausible and go to work. , We must have water works. ; " Our Home Market. , Our warehousemen are in great glee over the prospects for a tobacco' crop in Person county, and also over the Roxboro tobacco s market." Never since the establishment of a market here has everything looked so bright for our farmers. , There is ' already more than $20,000 cash here that '.'.will be used on this market" for the first time this season! and in Addition to this our buyers 'have placed their stock, to a very great extent, and are ready and anxious to load up.4 , r New priming are being sold every day, ranging from 2 cents to 10 cents. Bring it along,' our ' warehousemen will treat you right. - Since the above was written "we learn that the Hyco will be run by Pass & ; Garrett, s and the - Pioneer by the same old firin, Burch, Newton & Oo. with prospects tht the Farm ers will be run by an able and efficient firm. No market . has ' better houses or more honest, accommodating busi ness men to run them, than Roxboro, arid we confidently expect to see our market sell double the amount of any previous year. Stand by your home market it will pay you every time. Not so Green After All. . . A' fewdays ago the revenue otlicers from' Greensboro and Durham, with our home officers, made a raid and not. a great way froWRoxbo.ro found tionie b! ockade brandy. They asked the owner of said juice where . his S ti 1 1 was. ; Ve ry ui u c ri to (hei r su r prise he gave them the desired infor mation. They proceeded to the. spot; and destroyed what is called a little coffee pot" still ' - The "revenuers" had a good deal of fun- over their victim being so easily frightened and giving himself away. : ' . , . - But now for the joke. It turns out that iuthe same lo cality near , by was a still "c of large dimensions, and by 'giving" himself away he threw - ttiev officers off the scent and saved his real stil 1.
