Mrs. Crawford, who as Mi» Martha Biggs, was a belle in both North Carolina and Washington society when her father represent ed the state in the senate. As u young lady she was beautiful and charming, qualities which she now possesses, enhanced, however. by the passing years in which she hat grown old so gracefully. In v journal kept by her sister, Misf Lucy Biggs, is an interesting ac count of when young Martha was presented to Washington official society during the administration of President Buchatiiiau aud whilt his niece, the brilliant Harriel Lane Johnson, was mistress of tlu White House. Siie was described as "a beautiful young girl wear ing a simple muslin gown suitable for a debutant." ' Mrs. Crawford clings tenaciously to the traditions of her forefathers, especially in her love for the South she lias never forgotten the terron of war, still strongly defends Hit beloved Confederacy aud has nevei allowed the "yankee" the pleasurt of her acquaintance, she still strongly insists that he must bt kept at a distance. In religion, too, she holds fast to the teaching* of her father, and oue may see hut now at Skewarkee, a church neai town, in whirli her father and fore fathers worshipped. Mrs. Crawford is surrounded by au interesting family, the circh having been broken by the deatli> of her husband and one daughter, Martha. Her children living and by whom she is so dearly beloved and respected are: Messrs. William Henry, Asa Thomas, Kada Biggs, Benjamin Coffield and Miss A nun Maria Crawford.

Martin, the superin tendeut of roads in Edgecombe County, arrived last night. He | returned to Taiboro this morning carrying with him five prisoners who were sentenced at this term of court to work on the roads. Mr. W. Polk McCraw, the genial prescription clerk at the Jeffress Drug Store, will resign his position the first of April to accept a sim ; ilar position in Rocky Mount. Mr. McCraw has made many friends in town who will reKret very much to sec him leave, but they will all be glad to know that he will better his condition by the change. ! Instead of appropriating $1, 000,• 000,000 it seems that the short ession of Cotigress only appro priated $919.94800. This looks like considerably more of a bar gain.

Rob ersou & Co. vs J. C Stevens and wife was compromised. The granu jury did good work. From accounts of court officials this jury did more work in the same length of time than any grand jury empanelled in many years. The judge complimented them very highly. Their report on the jail, offices and the county home wa> that everything was in good order. The following gentlemen com posed the giand jtuy: J, W. V. R. Taylor, F. Edwards, B. B. Sher rod, B. S. Cowing, R. I). Jones, J. A. Powell, J. K. Gurgatius. Jacob Spivey, J. R. White, A. R. V'ick, A. Hassell, W. H. Hopkins. H. C. Northani, B. H. Rolierson, W. 11. Bennett, L- B. Harrison and J. L. Beasley; H. I). Taylor, officer of the grand jury. The following gentlemen com posed the petit jury: A. J. Adams, Paul Rogerson, R. G. Sexton, E. E. Rd>erson, S. L- Ward, J R. Griffin, Jas. H. Hardison, 11. L. Iwerett, 11. T. Roberson, Howell Warren, Mc G. Warren, A. E. Smith. H. D. Peel, J. D. Roberson. The charge of His Honor to the jury in substance was as follows: That the grand jury is one of the most ancient, venerable and important bodies of the Knglish Judicial System. It was the pe* culiar product, the gradual out growth of the life, manners, cus toms and conditions of our ances torsjti Brittiau. The exact date of the origin of the jury system is not known, it is shrouded in the mists of antiquity. Suffice it to say that after many ye us of war fare between the petty monarchs of the Heptarchy, that regime gave place to the first united kingdom, ; to the first monarch whose sway ; extended practically throughout the bound of what is now England ! and whose supremacy was recog j ui/.ed bv the factions that had been engaged in almost constant war fare for seven hundred years. When this united nation api>ears on the pages of authentic history, | the first eaily beginnings of the jury system, a system hitherto un known to the world, are found deeply imbedded in the social and political life of these people. From this crude beginning our Grand and Petit Jury sprang. It appears tlieu, that the Jury had its origin with thore customs and manners of the early English peo ple that in the course of centuries crystallized into law and became the strong right arm of the courts. It has held iu our system, this proud position to the present day. From these beginnings there de veloped the Grand Inquest, the Grand Jury, a body possessing ! J*.i ■ •- .. •- -• . - ii-\ . >. large and important judicial func tions. By reason of its judicial character and in order to preclude the possibility of outside influence of any kind, this the very foun tain head of Justice was carefully guarded. The peculiar duties of this body makes it encumbent upon it to keep secret iU proceedings. This the court charged was most vital and most important That it was not necessary for tlu of the grand jurv to know the law, or the various definitions of crime, T>ut merely to ascertain the fact: and submit thein to the court. •Here His Honor briefly defined the four capital felonies that, re main of the two hundred that ex istcd at the beginnig of the eight eenth century, and gave some gen -ral directions to the Grand Jur> for their guidance in the j»erfoi uiance of the duties of their office HASSELMTEMS Mi s Bessie Savage of near Rock> Mount, who has been visiting Mis- Laura Salsbury lift Moiidjy morn ing.

The old and cheap way is called air cured; the lajpr discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re tain the heat, and there kept in the* proper temperature until this curing process developes in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands of high grade, flue cufed tobaccos.

If the kind of tobacco y6u are chewing don't satisfy, more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chew ers formerly bought costing from 75c. to SI.OO per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs.
