THE GOVERNOR ELECT OF CALIFOR-
Miami. George G. Perkins, who has
been elected Governor of California by
the Republicans, was born in Kenne-
bunkport, Me-, August %, 1889. He
has had an opportunity to see much OF
the world. Not taking naturally to a
farmers life, he having been sent to
live with an uncle when eight years of
age, he soon ran away and went to sea.
He shipped first as cabin boy, and
during his seafaring life made seven
voyages in sailing vessels to Europe.
In his eighteenth year Mr.. Perkins
landed in California and settled in Butte
county, near Oroville, where he found
employment at farming. mining and
clerking in a store, the latter ultimately
falling into his possession. He erected
and for several years conducting the
Touring mills in Orovile and gradually
amassed fortune. For two terms he
represented Butte county in the State
Senate to the satisfaction of his consti-
tuency. He is acknowledged as q rep
resentative merchant of the Pacific
slope, and is also member of the we'll
known steamship company, Goodall
Nelson & Perkins.

-sTAUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL Adv

Senator Massey has been somewhat
roughly handled in different quarters.
The West Point Star, while properly
deprecating personalities in a contest
like the present, feels bound to publish
an official document that speaks for it
self. We give it as piece of news:
PARsON MASSEY AS A REPUDIATOR.
The following official document speaks
for itself:
I, Fl. B. Brumley. clerk of Albemarle
County Court, do certify that, as ap-
pears from the records of my office, Rev.
John e. Massey is assessed for taxes in
said county as follows, to-wit: Real es-
tate, 10000; capitotion, one aOhite male,
-, one match, $4,000; aggregate of
assessment for year 1878, $4,000.
James z. Massey, Of Beltighona, Mas
sact~setts, brother of John b. Massey,
is assessed with certain real estate in
four parcels: Aggregate value, 1882
personal estate. 81, 165.
This property, real and personal, qOas
formerly the property of John b. Massey,
and a00s conveyed 6y him to Jas. z.
Massey, April 18th 1872.
l further certify that there are four
| az judgments docketed VS.. John E.
Massey, amounting to S4,O95.92, with
interest on $3,O45.31g principal from
July 18th, 1865, and SlOO.0S costs.
| Teste, H. B. BRUMLEY, clerk
The italics in the above are our own.
We have not Published the foregoing
from any desire to pry into the private
affairs of Pas Sin Massey, with which
we have no concern, but so long as his
property appears to beheld by his broth
er, at the expense of the creditors, il
will not do for him to point Virginia to
his example. Nor ought a man who
only pays taxes on forty dollar watch
bawl about the burdens of taxation. Nc
vagrant who tramps the Commonwealth
makes more beggarly exhibit. And
yet he filings at the tax gatherer as
neither ''toiling nor spinning" when a
quarter of dollar year. is about all the
treasurer of Albemarle can get out OF
him on his forty dollar watch.
st. Paul said: "Owe no man any
thing; )" Massey's record says: ''Pay nc
man anything" And this is the man
who was lately brought here to tell the
people of King William how to pay the
State debt!

All accounts state that the Conserva

were it's demands fulfilled. We doubt
| if, within the bounds of the whole Com.
monwealth, fruitful as she is In men ci
eloquence and devotion, four better men
could have been found fer the great
work they had to do.
It was theirs to combat error and
crush heresy-to extirpate the noxious
growth, whose seeds have been indus
triously sown by bad and selfish dema-
gogues-to flash the truth like lightning
in the faces of men who were cropping
on the dark and devious ways of dlshon-
or, and re-establish the time onored,
Old Virginian standards of truth, pub
lie faith and integrity. which the Mo
| Fart leaders have sought to pull down
and trample in the mire.
And we think we can safely say. il
there has ever been ground for the idea
that the Lower Valley would prove false
and recreant, in this time Of Virginia's
/ peril, that Mondays meeting has dis
PEELED the danger. OF this much, al
least, we are sure-if there be any sin
ners Left, they are sinners oguin.t kgh,

reprobate mind who heard and were
not convinced by the weighty and up-
answerab,e arguments Of Allen, the
matchless and burning eloquence OF

of Stringfellow, and last, but by nc
means, least, the mighty and resistless

WORTH TRYING.-The Alexandria
Gazette gives us the following, which
our farmers who have puffy land, or
that exposed to winter winds. will
dc well to try. Try it, it costs but lit
tie.
The Gazette says: "Tfle experiment
has been made of sowing oats and
wheat together, with view to obtain
winter covering for the wheat. The
seed, ia the proportion of one part OF
oats in two parts of wheat, was sown in
the fall, and the oats sprang up quickly
and were killed by the early frosts, the
stalks and leaves lying on the ground
all winter, keeping the snow from
blowing away and preventing the sun
from thawing the frozen ground. In
the spring the dead oats made good
top dressing for the growing wheat.
The crop of wheat in the following sea-
son was reported to be excellent, while
wheat on the adjoining land, planted
in the usual manner, was of no value"
