' ; j We have so persistently and con- i , tinuously stressed the wonderful ( ,! possibilities of the fertile soil and marvelous climate of grand old Williamsburg that possibly it sometimes [ grows monotonous, but even at the . risk of becoming tiresome to some of j [ our readers we intend to cease ex- ( j ploiting the resources of our county I only when our pen is stilled forever. ; The following tracts of land were ( > sold here Monday: Eight acres, sold r for taxes, were bid in by W T Rowell for $20; 434 1-2 acres, foreclosure sale Avant vs Avant, were bought by D W Avant's attorneys, - Gilland & Gilland, for $2,000; E C - McDaniel's interest in 242 acres near Salters Depot brought $320.25,1, being bid in by Stoll & Stoll, attor- j f 5 neys for J C Everett, the mortga- i 1 gor. 1 , Every now and then we see or I hear of some fruit or flower or sta1 pie product that attains to perfection j 1 in our soil and climate.

The fruit is r ' ' ? ?i- ?u? ??t. snapeu iiKe an appie, guiueu nusci, - colored and is very palatable. On? 3 of the pears weighed one pound and ( ' t vo ounces and measured 13 inches , ' i around. Our land is truly the garden spot of the world and sometimes 1 " we wonder how people can be contint to dwell anywhere but in old . Williamsburg. 1 ;! Yesterday morning,about 6 o'clock ; as we turned over for a morning nap after a sleepless night on ac- 1 j count of the terrific heat,our repose 1 was disturbed by a continued "rap- < ping at our chamber door". Think- j ( ing the house was haunted or some-1. thing had happened demanding prompt action,, we hurried to the ?* door and faced a small colored boy!? who artlessly advised us that he | j wanted to know the name of "'this i) street"?that a lady had asked him j, and he came to us for the informa- j * tion! While we recognize the fact; y that a newspaper man is regarded j as a disseminator of all sorts of in-; formation to all conditions of peo-11 pie, yet this seemed to be carrying j r the idea a little too far. That is j < what we told the dusky scion of the c Adamic race, couched in as polite j phraseology as in the circumstances j we could command. RIM'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS !
