HALIFAX.
A Remarkable FamiIy-A Bold, had
Man.

correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
South BOsToN, Va, March IS, 1883.
The marriage Of Mr.. Elijah Lovelace
to Miss Eva Spencer, both of this
county, q report of which sent You
yesterday, gave rise to some inquiries
which developed very remarkable facts
regarding the well-known Lovelace
family of Halifax. BY this union it APP
pears that the last of ten children Of
Mr.. John L. and Mrs. America A. Love
lace have been hap PLY married, and it is
g curious fact that, including the father
and mother, aged respectively about
seventy and sixty-three years, and ten
children with their husbands and wives
and thirty-three grandchildren, making
fifty-fve in all, there has not been a single
death during all the forty-three years
since the now venerable couple were
married in 1916.
IT is also q noticeable circumstance
connected with this family history that
every one of these fifty-fve Lovelaces
live in Halifax county and none ever
lived anywhere else. With only one or
two exceptions all Of the adults OF this
large family are church members, and
they are all good, thrifty, influential
citizens-an honor to their churches and
their country.
1t is not probable that any other
county in the State, or perhaps any
other State, can furnish as remarkable a
record OF family of nearly sixty mem
bers.

TO-DAY'S ELECTION.

1t is too commonly the case tina
citizens think it hardly worth theil
while to take the time and trouble to
perform the duty they owe to them
selves and the public by voting at al
election for councilman. But they
prefer to let the matter take care o.
itself, and then get in and kich
against those who are SO unfortunate
IS to be elected to the thankless and
gratuitous office in the council.
THE Historian believes that the of.
fee of councilman is one which above
all should not be made a political
matter. The question whether this
man or that man is Republican
or Democrat should not decide 9
mans vote. The question which
each voter should decide for himself
is. which candidate will be the most
likely to secure a wise and economical
administration OF the city's affairs
On this question different persons
may honestly hold different opinions,
and it is for each voter to use his in
dividual best judgment.
This is a matter OF personal prefer
ence and Judgment. It should be
business, not politics.
The candidates for the first ward,
which includes that part of the city
west Of Olney street, are John Fox
and P. w. Weeks. The candidates
for the second ward, which includes
that portion of the city east of Olney
street. are J. Q. A. Bowlby and I. B.
Elbon.
The polling place for the first ward
is at Holt & McCurtrie's shop, on
Fourth and Genevieve streets, and
the judges appointed are @. b. Stock
ton, P. W. Weeks and G. @. Fulton.
The clerks, +. L. Parker and T. G..
Boelling.
The polling place for the second
ward is at the office of Welch Bros,
situated on Water street, between
West 9th and West 7th streets. and
the judges appointed are d. Fl.
Welch, Fred Wickman and B. Glib
son. The clerks, G. W. Shively and
j. P. Hynes.
Those entitled to vote are male cit
ixens over the age OF 81 years, or
those who have declared their inten-
tions Of becoming citizens at least
one year preceding this election, who
have been residents of this state six
months, and ninety days in the city
and must have beer a resident of the
ward in which they vote ten days
preceding the election.

CEDAR STREET.

The present council have earned
we'll deserved credit in having agreed
upon plan for the repair and i'm
proyement of this troublesome thor
oughfare. As it stands now, parties
interested have subscribed several
hundred dollars toward the repair of
the piling, stringers, etc., of the road
way with the understanding that the
city will supply the balance required
to complete that part of the work.
The ordinance declaring time and
manner of improving the street,
passed without a remonstrance.
The ordinance declaring the proba-
ole cost of improving the street,
(which is to be the cost of planking

its third reading, and 30 the matter
Of its impro yement is settled, and will
now be done in due course Of time.

serve credit for having set at rest and
settled for a considerable time. mat

much annoyance and trouble.

THE NAVY YARD.

It seems that the article which ap-
peared in THEDAILY Historian Of the
7th inst, has had the effect Of break
ing the lethargy which seemed to
have enveloped the cities of Portland
and Astoria, and they have awakened
to realize that there is to be a new
navy yard on this coast and that
there are some good reasons why il
should be established somewhere on
the Columbia river.
At the meeting OF the board of
trade Of Portland last Monday even
ing, the matter was brought up sand
Hon. William Kspus called attention
to the fact that the government pro-
posed to erect and maintain a navy
yard at Tacoma. He thought it
should be located somewhere on the
Columbia. He moved the chair ap-
point committee of five to meet q
like committee from the Astoria
chamber of commerce. The joint
committee are to prepare a statement
OF the advantages which the Colum-
bia river presents as q site for the
proposed navy yard. This statement
to be presented to the board which
has been appointed to select the site
on its arrival here. The motion pre-
vailed.
At the meeting of the Astoria
chamber Of commerce, held on the
same evening, the subject of the pro-
posed establishment of q. s. naval
yard on the Pacific coast was intro.
duced and discussed, and motion
passed that the Portland board OF
trade be requested to cooperate with
the chamber, in an endeavor to secure
the establishment of the Q. s. navy
yard on the Columbia river.

Of the commercial organizations OF
both cities, should succeed Ill show.
