The pages of on which are founded wild wonderful do not contain a story more strange than the of which The Post correspondents has just learned which will be re- lated as Some several ago there re- sided Pill county, near the town Farmville, a young lady named alias Addie May, who was as well known there then an she is now, and has a lather still living, who is a in the town of Farm- Over across the resided a young nun whose initials could not learn, but whose surname was Dupree. These two young people met, loved and were married. The young man was somewhat dissipated after two years of married life, which was not altogether pleasant congenial, Mrs. Dupree sued for a divorce in the courts of county and obtained it, afterward she met foreigner w had come into the community by the name of Vis- conies. He was intelligent, at- tractive and handsome, and when be naked Mrs. Dupree to become his wile she readily consented. This match was no more successful than the tint. The foreigner was also dissipated and In to bad habits he was buy. it is said, and failed to provide for his family. On grounds Mrs. sued for a divorce, which wits granted. Her last experience with matrimonial life covered n period of several years.

This peculiar love match resulted In n wedding in county day and Mr. Dupree was and Mrs. was the bride. the second time they were married yesterday, the writer trusts that their experience on present happy occasion will be from one which ed some years Post.

Now that the theatrical and cir- season is opening up, amuse- lovers North are confronted with the fact that circus to this State can only play at or two points where large be quickly The reason this is the tax, the lowest tax for a big show being live hundred dollars per day, with a possible limit of one dollars a What this excessive tax was made it is impossible to guess. It may be the old idea that i circus carries all the money out of a country, caused North legislators to place this prohibitive tax on the circus. If the high lax rate was made to increase the Slate it has fallen short, is a failure. the it will lie found that the license is excessive for those running the show houses, the result being that the amuse public must suffer, being given poor shows at high rates for admission, and if really good entertainments could the charge of admission would lie beyond the ordinary pocket.

The people arc waking up to the fact that this is one of the greatest caterpillar years on record. This pest is usually except the spring, but there have been three crops this year. Along with the caterpillar has another pest shape of a small worm, of a brownish red, with small White streaks, infests certain of the shade trees, notably the wood poplars, by the thousands literally strip them of leaves. The superabundance of worms and bugs is accounted for by the long wet spell. Super- Mose Thomas, of Elm- wood Cemetery, has waged a re- war on the pests all sum- mer and by dint of hard work has kept the cemetery comparatively free from them. Asa result, the cemetery trees look as green and fresh as in the early spring, striking contrast to of the shade trees about the city. The New York and Baltimore papers have lately devoted columns ravages of the caterpillar the parks of they say that nothing like it has ever been The only way to get rid of the caterpillars at the present time is to bum them.

One strong point made by the speaker was that many parents have more regard for the care of their stock than for their boys--if the animal has wandered off out of place there is diligent search until it Is found nod safe under shelter again; but if the boy is out of place and away from home at night be is given no concern whatever, bat allowed to wander wherever his may lead. Arc Fairly An esteemed subscriber asks something about the treat-1 in of railroads by the courts. Do they get a fair shake in damage suits Do they receive the same equitable treatment causes that Jurors the natural per- sons; We think not. Since the temporary triumph of ideas in this country, there has been a steady and studied of the idea that railroads, and other large corporations the enemies of the people than the natural allies of labor. are public necessities. While run primarily for private gain, and through that naturally offer advantages, still they will shy from a line that to run through a hostile The policy of a progressive pie will encourage the building of railroads. While holding them to a rigid account for carelessness either in the management or or their trains, it ill permit them to that they should have exact justice in the courts. We write this without the remotest reference tried the Burke courts, but because we believe the development of the South has been retarded by a feeling among railroad men that the courts would treat them like brigands and Herald. AUGUST TOBACCO SALES. Tremendous Gain Over Last Year. Mr M. A. Allen, Secretary of the Greenville Tobacco Board of Trade, handed the report of sales on the market for the month of August, with comparative figures for the, same month last year. The sales for August, were pounds, while for August, there were pounds sold. These figures show a gain year of pounds, an in- crease of more than percent. As our readers may be desirous of knowing what markets are doing we also give the figures from Wilson and Kinston for comparison. August this year Wilson sold pounds, last year a of sold this year last year a These comparative figures show that Greenville made the largest percentage of increase of either of the three markets.
