C., Monday April 18,’97. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, is- sued by the North Carolina Weather service, for the week ending Saturday April 11th, indicate rather unfavorable weather for the growth of crops, though farm work has not, been materially interrupted. The temperature was con- siderably helow the normal, the mean for the State for the week being about 25 degrees, and indicating a deficiency cf nearly three degrees. The week was very dry, less than a third of the average precipitation occurred. The amount of sunshine was above the normal. A warm, gentle rain is much needed to cause the germination of seeds. Eastern Dirtict.—The weather this week has not been favorable for the growth of crops, and very little im- provement in vegetation is reported. The temperature was too low, the min- imum falling to nearly the freezing point on the 8th. Several frosts, especi- ally Sunday morning, the oth, damaged uncovered strawberries considerably, and truck and young corn slightly, and thinned out young tobacco plants. Very few correspondents in this district think that the fruit crop is seriously damaged, as the winds were too brisk. The rainfall for the week averaged less than a quarter of an inch and occurred mostly on the 9th, mixed with some sleet. Planting corn has been pushed rapidly and early planting is coming up fairly well. Large areas of cotton land have been fertilized: and thoroughly prepared and a little cotton-planting las’ been done. Irish potatoes are com- ing up’tticely. Gardens as yet show little progress. ‘The ‘first shipment of strawberries was made April 10th. PD Sear ao PROGRAMME OF RACES. To-Morrow’s Races. ee eres SECOND DAY—2:00 CLASS. Harold, Br. G.—S.T.

Remarkably strange things... : We have here a thrilling en- counter, more excitins than what we read in fiction. 4 ~~ H. H. Stewart, of Caswell coun - ~ fy, was in the city to-day with to- bacco and gives the Sun a most -- exciting account of the trip Dock McAdams, a prosperous farmer ‘living above Prospect Hall,’ in| Caswell, made to Danville three or four days ago. ° oe _ Mr. McAdawms is small of stat- are, but grit’ to the backbone. Some three or four days ago he carried a load of tobacco to Vane | ville which he sold, and the “load¢ netted him the neat sum of $300. _ He went to the bank to have his. check cashed. and in there he no- tieed a woman becomingly at- tired, with face veiled. He gave her a passing noiice, thinking ~ she also had business with the bank. He secured the money, but obseryed that the woman watched his every movement, ~ though not a word she spoke. | \) Phat altérnoon Mr.’ MeAdams. hitched up his team and started ‘for home. When some throe or four miles from Danyille, as he was pearing what is known as “the dry bridge,” he saw the same _. woman in the road, attired inthe » osamecostunje, witha small satch- -e@l on her crm. As he drove along and overtook her, she asked _ Ina verv pleading way if he would aJlow her to ride with him, _, as she was Bing Most, way some distance. Mr.’ McAdams véry readily congeated. ase took - her satchel and placed it iu! the wagon, then he unhitched | one trace in order that she might “get in more conveniently. As ashe was stepping up a puff of wind blew her dress one side and Mr. McAdams saw a pair of boots : and the pantaloons. As quick as _ | a flash his mind acted and baying _ @loaded whip in bis hasd—the Only weapon of defence he had—~ he whacked the fellow a most ter- rific blow across the head which knocked him out senseless. Mr. McAdams then hitched his trace, - and putting the whip to the horses, Jeft that vicinity in post haste, and the disruised man in| the road. He went on to Yan- ceyville and reported the’ matter there. Up to the present time nothing has been heard from the robber. . In his haste to get away, and doring.the excitement, Mr. Mc- Adams carried along with bim 10 _ the wagon the satchel the robber | had.
