Eastville, Va., May 29.-- Another cold spell struck this section yesterday, following in the wake of the heavy down pour of rain. Today fire is a necessity for comfort, but there was no frost last night. A number of truckers are shipping spring peas this week. a large quantity left this station last night. The falling off of the price of cabbage caused the shippers to hold up to some extent. The cool, wet weather, has been fine for Irish potatoes. The crop in this county is not looking well. A number have dug some potatoes for their tables already.

Mr. W. J. Leatherbury has purchased of Mr. W. T. Fitchett about eighty acres of the farm of the latter, in Old Town. The price is stated to be $7500.

There is considerable complaint about the mails lately. It is not possible to state where the fault lies, but both northern and southern mails seem to go wrong.
