From the number of Valentines purchased so far of our merchants both of comic and serio-qomic (sentimental) many hearts are going to be Won and many others will "see themselves as others seehem."

This morning officer Benton found a negro man with a bullet in his body lying in thejwoods on the outskirts . of Hay mount. He arrested him, notwithstand ing the man's resistance, and took him be fore the Mayor. The darky stated that he was accidently shot by another negro at Duncan Cameron's saw mill near Mazton. There being no one to contradict the man's statement Mayor Cook was on the point of ordering his discbarge, when a Mr. Norment, who happened to be in the city and hearing of the arrest, hurried over to the Mayor's office and informed his Honor that the negro was Sam Jones wanted in Maston for attempted burglary. Upon this statement the Mayor turned the prisoner over to the Sheriff to await the action of the "Maxton authorities. Mr Norment informs us that last Thursday night some one entered the room, by a window, of Mr. L. L. McNair, a prominent merchant of Maxton, and was discovered and shot by Mr. McNair. Although he made bis escapej it is said he was recog nized. I The Roseboro Robberjr Case The Defend ants Acquitted. Last night at 9 o'clock the jury in the case of the State against Dr. Cooper and Mr. Butler, charged with robbing the Express Company of $950 at Roseboro, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Col. Thos. H. Sutton, of this city, the leading counsel for the defense, returned home this morning much elated - by this great victory-. Immediately after the verdict Grier, the confessed robber, was arrested and lodged in jail. He has been out on bail heretofore, and it is presumed that, if the defendants had been convicted, he would have been allowed to go free. -It is said that sentiment in Clinton was evenly divided, with a leaning to the de fendants. We learn that there was some demon stration of approval by spectators when the verdict was reached. Sentiment in this place has been rather against the defendants. Immediately after the verdict Cooper and Butler both left for their homes in Roseboro. Thus ends one of the .most sensational trials ever held in Sampson county, both on account of the prominence of the de fendantsone being Mayor of Roseboro and the other a leading county physician and the incidents occurring during the trial and pertaining to the case. They were charged, it will be remembered by our readers, with entering into a con spiracy with express agent Grier at Rose boro to rob, and with robbing,- the Express Company of $950.

' . ! . JOTTINGS ABOUT TOWN. BY A PERIPATETIC. A commercial gentleman who, in the course of his travels in the interests of a large mercantile firm frequently visits Fayette ville, informed me a few days ago that. he had discovered the existence of a new and peculiar disease in our midst no less than an epidemic of knobless door-handles ! "I cant go into a public or private build ing here," said he, "but what I come across an instance of this peculiar malady. And the knobs, too, are almost invariably miss ing from the inside of the door. How do you account for it ?" I don't account for it, but since the mat ter has been called to my attention I will use my best endeavors, as well as my eyes, to give a correct diagnosis of the disorder and formulate a sure cure. Some days ago the Observer contained a paragraph to the effect that farming operations would very soon be pushed with a vim, and that the sale of fertiliz ers was already very large. That this is true has been evidenced the last day or two by the number of teams going out of town loaded with bags of "red-tagged" fertilizers and also by the small and di minishing number of visits which our sur rounding agriculturists make the town. And for some weeks their visits will con tinue to be as scarce as , angels. This is a good sign and augurs well for the coming season. People and their Movements. Mr. T. W.
