MANURING PLANTS. After mixing

They doubtless assume that the issues In

internal revenue, popular education,
&c, will have effect upon the public
mind Ordinarily this would be so. But
inthis campaign questions affecting ma
ti0nal administration and legislation,
receive very little thought from the
people. They are not practical SO far as
State affairs are concerned. Neither the
Governor nor the Legislature will be
called upon to recognize them, nor Will
the people in the least be affected by
them. Were there no State inter

Creston Clarke Tonight.

Doubtless the announcement of Mr..
Creston Clarkes, the justly celebrated
tragedian, expected presence in the Or
era House tonight has been conducive
to the most pleasurable anticipatiOns
amongst the lovers of dramatic CLASH
cality in it's more refined sphere, and it
is to be hoped that the hearing accorded
him will be in proportion to the Gus
tomary taste and intelligent Judgment
distinguishing our citizens in their dra-
matte preferences. Certainly, Mr..
Clarke's claims to good house are well
with which his former appearance here
is recalled is in anyway a criterion.
Probably the opportunity of seeing this
gifted young actor at his best will be af-
forded in the role which he assumes to-
night; for while approaching the cap
stone Of histrionic perfection by more
roads than one, his characterization of
Hamlet has been received with more en-
thusiastic eclGt than any one selection
from his varied and brillian repertoire.
In the artistic conception of this most
complete of Shakesperian creations,
Mr. Clarke is said to adhere closely,
although not slavishly, to the model OBJ
served by his distinguished relative, the
great actor Booth, whom also he is said
closely to resemble in personal appear
ance. The Juror created by Mr.. Clarke
here in the character of ShylOck in the
Merchant of Venice did not relate solely
to his masterful exposition of this intri-
cate role, but the winning address, the
rare personal magnetism, the distin-
guished physique, and above all the ex-
quisite modesty of bearing of the man,
apart from the wonderful genius of the
artist, combined to complete the con-
quest obtained over hearts.
Outside of the stage attitude, wherein
Mr.. Clarke so ably unprecedented the
cringing gait, the covering counte
nance, the alert, furtive gaze, and
the dramatic despair of 1.-The dog of
Jew" or perchance penetrating even
this subtle masquerade of the baser pas
sions, there was sure and fine intima-
ton of the majestic presence, the prince
ly brow, the dauntless, and if need be,
scathing glance which sought a moth
er's heart ito break in twain and all
the other qualities essential to the fin
ished portrayal of Hamlet, but to
which those embodied in Shylock were
antipodal.

Death of Adam Stephenson.

Adam Stephenson died at his residence,
Glenwood, Highland county, Va, on the
Sd inst, at an advanced age, after pro-
tracted illness. He was a gentleman of
the highest integrity, genial in DISPOSE
ton, and very popular. He was Clerk
of the County and Circuit Courts of
Highland from the organization of the
county in 1847 until 1866. He was mem
Der of the Constitutional Convention of
1S5O-'51, being elected on the ticket with
Judges H. W. Sheffey and David Fultz.
Their opponents were Thomas j. Niche,
A. H. H. Stuart, and Mr.. Hull, Of High
land. He was the father of L. H., j.
W. and J. b. Stephenson, well known
lawyers, and had several other sons
whose names we do not now remember
His death, while not unexpected, is a
loss to his county, and deeply mourned
by large circle of relatives and friends.

Kentucky Denmark.

OF all the splendid horses on exhibit
ton at the Baldwin District Fair last
week, there were none superior to Ken
lucky Denmark. Magnificent in appear
ance, of easy gait, docile as child with
an elegant SUIT of jet black hair which
indicated the noble blood that flows in
his veins, this splendid animal moved
as with an intelligent consciousness of
his proud lineage. With his grand rec
ord, and an exhibition of his fine points,
and his wonderful muscular develop
ment, it is tribute to the good judgment
of the Judges, that Kentucky Denmark
came out of the contest wearing the blue
ribbon Of conquest at his bridle-head.
This noble animal owned by Messrs
Gilkeson and Maslin of this county,
and bearing the traditional name of his
line, maintains the splendid record
handed down from Granger, Gaines,
Denmark, Cromwell, billiard, Gray Ea
gle, Holcorn, Crusader, Jewell, and the
rest of the long and brilliant line of dis
tingu;shed horses, which have produced
the finest saddle horses of America
AS an evidence of the appreciation by
good judges of the excellent qualities of
the Kentucky Denmark stock, Messrs.
Gilkeson and Maslin sold on the Fair
grounds three weeks old colt, sired by
their horse for $3.50 cash. Mr...Pat. Do
Ian. of Lexington, Ky, the owner of the
sire of Gilkeson and Maslin's Kentucky
Denmark, refused $4,000 for him short
time since. Kentucky Denmark has been
owned by Messrs Gilkeson and Maslin
two seasons, and their success with him
has been phenomenal. While the in
creasing demand for horses of the high
est qualities continues, Kentucky Den
mark will be in great demand
Messrs Gilkeson and Maslin are Justly
proud of their noble horse, and deserve
credit and encouragement in their eff
forts to furnish our people the very best
improved stock.

A Voice from Culpeper.


EGGBORNSvILLE, VA, October 5th 1889.
Editors Valley Firginidn:
In your issue of the Sd you class me with those
who have become Republicans since 1881.
While have no objection to being classed with
those gentlemen who have shown (by refusing
to wear Mahone's collar that they are Republ-
cans from principle, you are mistaken. | have
been Republican all my life-never voted the
Democratic ticket and never refused to support
the Republican party. l wish we had a Repub-
lcan OF a good Readjuster to vote for this time.
/ shall not support Gen. Malone, because he is
not Republican and does not represent Re
publican principles as ] understand them. L
voted for Col Cameron in 1881 because the name
Of the Hon. John +. Lewis the ticket.
/ wish we had Cameron or a Lewis to vote for
now. The name OF the Hon. John F. Lewis
brought success to the Readjuster ticket in 1881,
and his letter refusing to support Malone for
Governor will cause great many of the old
line Republicans to scratch the little Boss it they
don't give Phil. Mckinney vote. You are DC
ing grand work for the Republican party, and
your timely warning will doubtless prevent Ma
hone from wrecking it in 1892, as he did Mr.. Ar
thur. Keep on pouring hot shot into him.
BOSSiSm and RepublicaniSm don't mix. Unless
the signs of the times fail, the little Boss will
feel the effect of that crushing machine he has
so much delighted in operating others. We
carried Culpeper in 1881, when Mr.. J. S. EggbOrn
was our candidate for the Legislature on the
Cameron ticket. We have not carried it since
and never will as long as Malone has control of
party affairs. Yours truly,
VIM H. EGGRORN.
