ORLEAN, Fauquier Co Va, Mar. 26. 1885,
There are thirteen persons living within

about seven miles distant. whose ages COM
bined are one thousand and forty-seven
years, making an average of eighty years
and seven months the oldest being ninety
four years and the youngest seventy. five
Seven of them are males, and six of them
females, the former are all active farmers
and, with one exception, superntend their
farms. One of the latter is married lady,
four of them widows and one an old maid
Two of the widows are real estate owners,
aud all of them in independent circum-
stances. One Of the above number of males
is eighty -four years old, is worth between
forty and sixty thousand dollars and has
brother, who is eighty.s years Of age, never
fail to 60 to the polls ard vote the demo-
cratic ticket. They have made their mo.
ney by industry and rigid economy and are
now enjoying it in their own quist way. Six
of the above aged persons are professors Of
religion. The rest Of them attend church
occasionally, with two exceptions, and one
of them has not been inside OF church for
80 years. and another one has beeu 10 twice

why Not Seek Deep Wafer at Nor
folk and Portsmouth

We noted some days ago that the Coun.
cls of Richmond had taken steps toward ex-
pellirg the Richmond and Danvile railroad
from the streets of that city and thus imped-
ing its passage to deep water at West Point
its present outlet. Now is the time for the
Richmond and Danville road to do what it
no doubt sees it ought TO have done at first,
namely seek deep wafer terminus at this
port from Godsboro or Raleigh. The peo.
pie of this section invite it here. If it will
make this ts terminus aud move it's great
shops hers i5 can take its general offices
wherever it likes. We will take the rank
and file and the local offices, and let the
president and other general officers gowhere
inclination leads them. The Norfolk and

Company has ts in New York, the Clyde
