Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.I
CHASE CRY, Va, October 29.-Farm-

the most favorable weather for securing
their crops ever known. One man who
is q large cultiyator informed me that no
saved every blade OF his fodder,
thoroughly cured it, and stood it in his
barns without one drop OF rain ever
touching it. This in our section Is q
valuable forage, always saiable, ana
more was secured this season than IN
any previous year.
An unusually large crop of wheat has
also been seeded, and many winter oats.
The warehouses here have sold more
tobacco up to this time OF the new crop
than ever before 80 early. The offerings
have been chiefly brights. and prices
have been so satisfactory that the chrome
grumblers have disappeared from the
market.

AN ELECTRIc-LIGHT SYSTEM.
At the last meeting of our Town Coun-
Gil Messrs. Jefiiross and Hughes were aD-

A SMALL FOLLOWING.
THE SITUATION IN FAUoUlER.

No Opposition to tho Democratic Candi-
dates-General Lees Probable Successor.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.i
BETHEL ACADEMY, "a, October o.
The political canvass for the House has
been unusually quiet. The two Demo
cratic candidates, Pitcher and Mason.
have no opposition from the Republican
ranks, and therefore Fauquier will GER
tainly send two Democrats to the next
Legislature. Mason is IN sympathy with
the Alliance. He has, however, not for
saken his party, but holding his past
honored colors will, together with
Pitcher, receive the entire vote of the
Alliance. The Alliance very wisely
seems disposed to stand by the De-
mocracy, and if they nominate the right
man, which they seem always to do, they
support HIM.
THE SUCCESSOR OF GENERAL LEE.
Considerable excitement prevails as to
who shall succeed General Lee in the
next Congress. The good people of
Fauquier and perhaps those OF ioudoun
are very bitterly opposed to Meredith.
Major A. Il. Smith has been urged by
come of his many friends to announce
himself as q candidate. Major Smith
has shown himself eminently suited for
the place. Payne is also spoken of as a
probable candidate.
OTHER NOTES.
Rev. J. ". Grub, aided by other
ministers OF Warrenton, has been con-
Quoting during the past three weeks
q revival at Bethel church. There have
been only two professions, but the
Christian reople should feel spiritually
strengthened. rs tho preaching has been
fine and the attendance large.

Macon College visited the Academy re-
