Him-Successful Sugar-Mill.
fCorrespo ndence Of tho Richmond Dispscth.I
WARRENroN, Va. August p. 1890.
Mr.. William Kearns, perhaps the Oldest
man in Fauquier county at the time of his
death. died last Saturday. He leaves a
son seventy-fve years of age. Up to few
months ago he was apparently IN good
health and used TO walk into town, a dis
tance of several miles. by himself.
A number of Warrentonians left town
this week for the Berryyille races.
THE THIEVES SPOTTED.
A number of thieves broke into the
oke-house of Captain Charles Gordon,
near Bealton. a few nights since, and car
RED of about sixty pieces OF meat clue as
to their identity has been discovered. and II
is hoped that they will be soon brought to
justice.
A sugar-mill has been recently started
near this place with surprisingly encour-
aging results. The sugar manufactured is
OF q very fine quality. The mill has not
yet begun regular work. but on the first
trial il turned out about two sugar wagons
from twenty tons of field cane.
AN ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE.
The courthouse is Just completed and is
one of the handsomest public buildings IN
the State. II is built on the plan OF the
old courthouse, but Is hnished OF more
artistically. II greatly adds to the beauty
of the town. and can be seen from all parts
Of the town, owing TO the high hin on
which it is situated.
CHURCH FAIR WITH A MILITARY FEATURE.
The ladies of the Warrenton Baptist
church will give fan drill on next Tues
dav night for the benefit of that church.
A great number of pretty girls will parti-
cipate and will be divided into two CON-
panies, one styled The White Roses and
the other The Red Roses. Colonel Green
vile Gaines, the well-known commandant
OF the Fourth Virginia Infantry, is drill
master fer the occasion.
OTHER NOTES.
Warrenton and the surrounding country
has been for the past few days rejoicing in
abundant rains. which were very much
needed by the corn.
MIR. Eppa Hunter. Jr.. has returned from
O very enjoyable stay Of three weeks ut
Narragensett pier.
News has Just reached here OF the death
OF Mrs. Chew, daughter of Colonel Robert
Beverly, the we'll known farmer from the

II is announced by General BARSUM, as
from the inner counsels Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, that the present
mission of the order named is to make
General RUSSELL A. ALGEB President,
little Benny HARRISON being generally re-
garded as out of the race. There is thus
made evident the fact that there is walk
ing ahead for the former suffers and camp
followers, who now make up the body OF
the G. A. r., more serious than any they
did even during the war. The probabili-
ties are that the next President will be a
