More Marrow Gauge Views
from Hartford.

Mr.. EDITOR We believe in rail-
roads. We believe that the proposed
narrow gauge to Emporia and South
west would bring property into Lyon
county. It is claimed that the 80
miles of railroad thus placed in the
county would be WORTH $1,000 per
mile at their assessed value for taxa
ton. 1t is also claimed that the ma
chine shops said road proposes to
build in Emporia would be worth $780,
900. Thirty times $1,000 gives $3.50, 900,
plus the $50, 600, equal 5000, 900. Three
per cent. Taxation on such an invest
mentwould make $1,000 annually paid
into our treasury.
Granted.
Reverse the machine and count the
other way. The PROF osed 100000
bonds are to bear per cent interest,
which makes $1,000 per annum. De-
dscting the $4,000 taxes said road
would pay into the treasury, we would
have $4,000 interest to pay on bonds,
annually, above what the road would
benefit US on taxation. A small
amount of itself; but 30 tines $4,000
amounts to 100000 we will have paid
at the end of 80 years, and that plus
the principal gives 100000.

POWHATAN COUNTY.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dlspatch.l

PowHATAN COURTHOUSE.
Nav 22d was bright and happy day for
the young people Of the county. Fifteen
gallant knights had resolved to contest on
that day, in honorable rivalry, the success
Of their knighthood. At + o'clock ?. II.
the grounds, which were near the Court
house, were filled with anxious spectators
who were awaiting the arrival OF the
knights. In due time they were drawn up
in order by Marshal Joe HobSon, and the
attorney OF the county, Mr.. Thomas Miller,
introduced Mr. Robert Southall, OF Amelia,
the orator OF the day, who delivered an ap-
propriatc, spirited charge to the knights !;
after which the riding commenced. The
knights, with their handsome costumes and
steeds gaily caparisoncd, made fine APP
pearance, and caused the heart Of the pro-
spectiye queen to CULVER in anxious sus-
pensc as they dashed by at lightning speed
with lance skilfuIlv poised for the ring.
The result OF the contest is IS follows ::
Peaclly S. Dance, ''knight OF the Fallen
Banner,'' was declared the successful
knight; William Hardaway, d" Knight Of
Erebus, - next in order; p. Finch. "Knight
of Tomorrow Night" neXt;' and John
Cosby, "Knight of the Crazy Horse"
fourth in order.
The result being announced, the crowd
repaired to the courthouse, where the cor
enation address was delivered by DR.. Hen
ing in his own appropriate style, and the
crown was placed on the fair and beautiful
brow OF Miss Fannie Harvie, who had on
previous occasion secured similar laurels by
virtue OF her lovely, peerless womanhood,
and the following maids, Misses Mary Ma
son. Charlotte Page, and Sallle t'lnch, were
chosen as her royal attendants, who, by their
beauty and grace added, a brilliant lustrc to
the royal party as they fitted through the
maZes OF the dance. The supper at the
hotel was most sumptuous one; and alto
sether the tournament and ball was de-
cidcd success. And as one Of the spectators
we take pleasure in returning our thanks to
the knights for their very pleasant and en-
iovablc entertainment.
