At the June term the Judge OF the Coun-
ty Court OF Chesterfield appointed Charles

the term OF four years, commencing July
|. 1888. Mr.. Grave: is a Roadiuster and
the present incumbent.
The Board OF Supervisors have pur-
chased OF Mrs. Isabella Weyer, OF Michi-
gan, at the price Of $1,000, a farm OF 2ij
acres OF land, known as the "George Cog
bill tract" about three miles from the
courthouse. The farm was rented by the
county authorities few years ago for a
smallpox hospital. In fact, however, no
patients were ever sent there. The poor
house will be removed to this place in a
short time. 1t has plenty OF land for the
paupers to cultivate and large quantity OF
timber and wood. The cost Of providing
for the poor will thus be greatly lessened.

An Exquisite Work of Art.

find in the parlor Of Major j. c, Taylor
masterpiece OF portraitme. the work OF
Mrs. William III. Powers, OF Richmond,
Va. who, as labor Of love, has painted,
as gift to the bereayed parents. speaking
picture OF the late beloved Mrs. Maggie '.
Kent. A glance reveals The striking ana
perfect likeness Of Mrs. Kent as she was
when Maggie Taylor, girl OF sixteen. In
color, pose, drawing, and all the little de-
tail. that make the art so divine, the pie
ture is worthy OF its authoress, who has
already acquired no little fame in art clr-
Giles. In its dimensions, Mrs. Powers has
avoided the glarlng effect OF too large, a
face. and at the same time has avoided the
dwariing effect Of miniatures. The color
inc il life-like, and the effect so perfect that
tears spring to the eye OF those who knew
Mrs. Kent in the beauty and loyelineSs OF
her girlhood as they gaze on the weil-re-
membered features. Mrs. Powers follows
art for its own sake, which makes her sue
cess all the more delightful to her large
circle OF friends and admirers.

was seen by Sun reporter last night, and
states that Captain McCahan disappeared

81 200 i'm gold, the cargo money, is also
missing. Every part Of the vessel was
searched for the money, but without sue
cess. Mr.. Uart's son and Mr.. Il. +. Leach,
one OF the owners 0: the schooner, went
down TO Fortress Monroe by the Norfolk
boat last night. Captain McCahan be-
longed to Baltimore, ana resided on FelPs

I'm referring to the above we Will state
that reporter OF this paper was at Old

learned that it is the belief OF anumber OF
people that the captain Of the vessel was
murdered for his money aud his body made
wav with. The owner Of the craft was also
at the Point Friday. but whether anything
different was learned by him or not we are
unable to say. The pungy has been or
dered TO Baltimore.
