Mr. George F. Walter has had some of the lines, between his property and that of his neighbors, at Deep Creek, surveyed by Mr. J. H. Fell, C. E., of this town. He has also made a plat of the property in this town for Mrs. M. J. Hance, of Baltimore, Md.

W. T. Bundick, who has been lecturing on temperance and the Keeley cure during the past week in Norfolk and the surrounding towns, was called home by the serious illness of his daughter, Miss Maude Bundick, on Friday. Mr. Bundick will, during this week, deliver lectures in several towns on the Eastern Shore.

Master Claude Nottingham, teller of Onancock National Bank, was offered the position recently of assistant cashier in the office of Mutual Life Insurance Co., at Wilmington, Del., at a handsome salary. The Bank officials knew his value too well to let him go and offered him an advance to stay which was accepted. For a young man hardly out of his teens, surely the compliments thus paid him, speak volumes for his worth and character.

Fight Almost to a Finish.

Mr. Jeff D. Mears, of near KellerMoral -- Property crime, has been missing his fodder of late, and not being willing to part with it without having a say in the matter, secreted himself together with a boy companion in a stack of fodder on Tuesday night and awaited developments. He was rewarded for his watching about 1 o'clock and with it got a fight also almost to a finish at the hands of one Ezekiel Johnson, colored, who put in an appearance about that hour. The fun began soon after Ezekiel arrived, and Mr. Mears was soon informed by him "that one of them had to die." A hand to hand fight resulted and so close was the contact that Mr. Mears could only use the pistol by striking with it. This he did, and so effectively with the assistance of the boy, that Ezekiel surrendered after a fight of about half an hour, after receiving numerous and severe wounds about the head and neck. Ezekiel didn't get the fodder, but got a good trashing and next day was committed to jail by Justice Blackstone for three months.
