Tobacco bed destroyed in Byrd Township reported
In Byrd Township a tobacco bed is said to have been destroyed. If weather stays favorable, tobacco will be set out next week as plants grow large. A strong patrol by cavalry guarded the roads last night and target practice continued this week. Two shots near a local farm prompted a farmer to investigate his tobacco bed, but it was undisturbed this morning, the shots having likely frightened off raiders.
