Demand exceeds

supply in pig sales

Prices were high as the 40-60-pound pigs at Courtland averages $3.50-$7.50 per head more than the last sale. In Culpepper, 425 head were sold Sept. 25. In Courtland, 589 head were sold.

Shooting charges dismissed against postmaster

Judge T.C. Andrews of the Nansemond Circuit Court freed Holland postmaster, J.H. Brown of a felonious shooting charge brought against him by an alleged mail robber. According to evidence, the robber was caught by Brown with his hand in a box other than the one rented by his mother. With a .38 pistol in his hand, Brown came from around the corner and told the robber he was under arrest. As Brown took the robber across the street, the robber pulled away and said he wasn’t going anywhere with him. Brown ordered him to stop, but the robber didn’t, and Brown shot him in the heel. Andrews pointed out that a civilian upon seeing a felony committed could make an arrest and could if necessary shoot to kill in such a case.
