CITATION As heretofore stated in the GA
ZErrE the tifth annual meeting of the Flr-
GINA State Pharmaceutical Association will
convene in this city on next Tuesday. The

ing the public will be invited. The meeting
will he opened with prayer by the Rev. 0.
F. Fiippo, Of tho First Baptist Church. An
address Of welcome will next be delivered
by Hon. Charles Il. Stuart, which will be
replied to by the president ofthe association.
The B:addock House has been selected as
the headquarters of the association. The
customary banquet will be given on the
evening of The 18Th, and the resident drug
gis,s and pharmacists will do all in their
power to make the occasion pleasant to their
visiting brethren. This association has over
two hundred and fifty members, and num-
Der of Others have applied for membership.
The State Board Of Pharmacy will also meet
in this city on Tuesday morning next at 10
o'clock, and will be in session until Friday
or saturday night. At this meeting the
board expects simply to examine the appli-
cations for registration, sign the certificates
OF registration and turn the same over to the
secretary of the board, Mr.. f. R. Beckwith,
of Petersburg who will issue them as rapid
~ as possibly. Fir. Beckwith has received
up to this time three hundred and sixty-nine
ho hob ia w
the time the board meets there will be seven
or eight hundred applications, and conse-
quently there may possibly be some delay
in issuing them.
The RAIN which commenced falling on
Thursday evening has continued, with more
or less severity since, and has caused all the
runs in this vicinity to become so much
swollen that in some instances they cannot
be lcrlcd. There is also slight current in
the river, and the brisk east wind has caus-
ed The tide to make quite high. At times
to dizzy the streets have been flooded, and this
morning many people from the country had
difficulty in reaching the city, on account of
the high water in the streams. Several
small "washouts' have occurred on the rail-
roads, bu. no serious damage has been done.
A piece of trestle work at Buffalo bridge,
near Lovingstop,. was carried away last
night. which has caused delay in the ar
rival here of the trains on the Virginia Mid
land railroad, and washout near Bucks
ton, on the Manassas branch Of the road,
caused the abandonment of the east bound
train on that branch this morning. The
water in the streams on the W., o. and w.
railroad is also very high causing some de.
lay in the running of trains, but as yet no
material damage has boon reported
