tCorrespondence OF tho Richmond Dispstch.l
HUNTSVILLE, October ~. 1890.
Registrar W. ID. Hoskriss for Centre
Cross precinct, Rappahannock magiste-
rial district, Essex county, reports the
result of the registration Saturday, 10Th,
as three whites and seventeen colored.
There seems to have been general
scraping up of the colored and getting
them to register, whilst none of the
whites seem to have been overlooked or
failed TO register if entitled to do so.
This is a strong Republican precinct.
The Republicans had a supervisor pres
ent experimenting the work of regis
tration and taking down the names of all
who registered. This fellow, whose
name or color your correspondent has
not been able to learn, is said to be from
Caroline county. This seems to be IN
keeping with the Radicals programme
and the force bill in embryo. A very
laxative colored Republican remarked
to a prominent Democrat few days
since. in speaking of the election. that
they, the Republicans, would meet the
Democrats son ice upon the day OF
election" Our Democratic brother intl-
mated TO him he had better spike his
shoes for the occasion. What was meant
bv the icy remark the party would not
explain.
A SEPARATE CHURCH.
There have been quite number OF
colored people members OF Ephesus Bap-
fist church here, all of whom have with
drawn with the view of forming q
separate organization, and they will
build church near by.
The Ozeanna Jones Club met Saturday
evening the 25th. There was a pretty
fair attendance of white and colored,
who were addressed by Lewis II. Gar
nett and Hon. Thomas Croxton. Upon
the conclusion of their speeches II. L..
/ Newbill, county canvasser, was called
for, who excused himself from a set
/ speech on account of the lateness of the
hour, yet delivered brief but strong
exhortation to his brethren to be up
/ and doing, and on the 4th of November,
with long pull, strong and phil
altogether, drag the old First district
from the breakers where Bailey Browne
has had 1t Laundering for four years.
The response was that with squadron
square they would all be there" There
is TO be a grand rally of and big free
supper by the Tappahannock Jones
Club on Thursday night the Both.
Everybody is invited. Washington, of
Westmoreland DR.. Douglass, OF War
saw Judge Blake, Hon. L. Il. b.

On Saturday, LIST of November, grand
barbecue under the auspices Of the
Owen-Store Club will come of. Press.
ing cordial invitations and notices are

This is the banner Democratic precinct
OF the county and a great crowd is looked
for on the lst.
Chairman Ellyson's address to the
Democrats of the State is strong. time.
ly, and irresistible, and is arousinq
the party to duty. 1t is suspicious Of
