The social event of the week was the
marriage of Mr.. Warren Slaughter Flick
len, formerly of Danville, Va, but now
engaged in business in this city, and

bill officiating.
The beautiful bride was handsomely
attired in light tan-colored travelling

If his looks did not belle his feelings he
was, indeed, a happy man.
The attendants were: Miss Pinnie
Yates, attended in mourning, escorted
by Mr.. Ballard Bandy, "a brother of the
bride,) as best man, and Miss Lille
Hill, in light tan colored suit, hat and
gloves to match, escorted by w. c..

The entrance of the bridal party was
signaled by the enlivening strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march ,skillfully
rendered by Miss Daily.
The popularity OF the contracting
parties was evidenced by the large at.
tendance at the church, and substanti-
ally and lovingly attested by the many
valuable and useful presents. and by
the many friends who followed them to
the station to wish them a safe and
pleasant journey. The happy pair left
on the 1895 train for Lynchburg, whence
they will extend their trip to Washing,
ton and other points, via Norfolk.

CHINA is RIGHT.
General Manager.

In an interview with a press repre-
sentative Mr.. Yen, the Chinese minis
ter to this country, states that he has
received nothing from his government
in regard to it's reasons for being un.
willing to receive Mr.. Blair as tho
American minister to China.
Mr.. Yen said that he entertained the
highest regards for Mr.. Blair and init.
mated that he had only laid before his
government the facts of Mr.. Blairs at
titude towards China as recorded in the
Congressional Record, without attempt
ing to influence the government one way
or the other.
Minister Yen did no moro than his
duty in laying this matter before his
government, and it is no great surprise
to the country that China is unwilling
to receive the newly appointed minister.
President Harrison has been unusu-
ally fortunate in his appointments. and
it is hard to understand why he did not
find more suitable place for Mr..
Blair.
China has done no more than any
other government OF the world would
do under similar circumstances.
The administration must now be
Inundated by the necessity of re voking
the appointment, and Mr.. Blair must
admit that even the heather Chinese
understand his attitude toward China,
Notwithstanding his recent efforts to
evade lis record.

THE EXCISE BOARD.
Charles Brown Granted License at the
Wayside Inn.

Wayside Inn.
The excise board met yesterday oven
ing. Not many spectators were present,
as there were but two applications to be
acted on.
Charles Brown made application for
beer license at tho Wayside Inn. The
board had already refused William
Queitch at this place and suspected that
Brown was acting in concert with
Queitch.
The applicant was represented by Mr.
Lockett who stated that the board had
no right to question his client how no
come into possession of the property.
Mr.. Eckloff said several persons who had
been refused license had went directly
and procured some one else to make APP
plication for them.
Several witnesses were examined,
among them being Mr.. Sholtz. They
all testified to Mr.. Browns good char
acter, and the license was granted, but
not until he had rented the whole build
ing. lie then procured barroom and
ordinary license combined.
Mr.. Hoge appeared for E. r. Huddles-
ton, who had been refused q few days
ago. He made a motion to have the
case reopened on the grounds that the
the board had not heard Mr.. Huddle-
ston's witnesses. The request was
granted, the witnesses heard, but Mr..
Huddleston didn't get his license.

TO ADVERTISE VIRGINIA.
Major Jed Hotohkiss to Prepare Part of
the State Exchange Pamphlet.

| Major Jed Hotchkiss to Prepare Part Of
| the State Exchange Pamphlet.
At the recent meeting of the directors
of the Virginia Real Estate Exchange,
held in the city of Richmond, tho senti-
ment was unanimously expressed that
| tho time had arrived when united
effort should be made by the real estate
agents of Virginia to influence and in
duce as much foreign capital as possible
| to seek investment within the borders Of
| our State.
TO accomplish this end committee
was appointed, charged with the impor-
tant work of devising and maturing q
plan whereby the attention of capital
lists and artisans and commercial men in
the various States of our Union, as we'll
as in the countries of Europe, might be
specially attracted to the magnificent
resources of Virginia, and to the I'M
equalled opportunities SIZE offers both
for immigration and profitable invest
ment.
After considering a variety of ways
and means, the committee finally de-
cided that the interests of the different
localities represented by them, and of
the State at large, would in all proba-
bility be best subserved by the puplica-
tion of a pamphlet or book, of about
fifty pages, containing descriptive
matter of such q character as will en-
able all who run to read and become
enlightened upon the sdbject of the
richness OF Virginia's mineral and other
material wealth, and of the grand in
dustrial development that is now in
progress, from tho shores of the Chesa.
peake and Atlantic, on her eastern
limits, to the extreme western confines
of her domain.
The general plan determined upon is
to have the pamphlet about 12x14 inches
in size, with covers, and on a similar
style to the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record. 1t is proposed TO issue first
edition of 100000 copies, to be followed
by further editions if desired.
The first ten pages are to be devoted
to the State at large, it's climate, resour-
ces and advantages, and the committee
are highly gratitied to state that this
part of the work will be prepared by that
worthy and accomplished son of the
South, Major Jed Hotchkiss, of Staun-
ton, gentleman who is widely recog-
nized as an able and forcible writer, and
to whom, it is said, every foot of ground
and every ore bed in Virginia is known.
The remaining forty pages are to be de-
voted to advertising the advantages of
particular towns and localities, each to
furnish its own matter.
Arrangements are being made for the
commencement of the work as early as
possible, and the management o. the
State Exchange gives assurance that the
100000 copies will be judiciously dis
tributed.

They Don't Bury Their Dogs There.

A letter recently received from a,
American missionary in Central Africa
reveals curious bit of superstition Oh
the part of the natives in regard to the
burying of dogs. The letter says: "The
king of Bihe made great disturbance
because Mr.. Arnot, Scotch mission
ary, buried in the ground dog which
he had been obliged to kill. The chief
sent word that this was a crime, and
that the missionary must take up the
body and throw it into the river After
this he must kill chicken and sprinkle
its blood upon the ground where the
dog had been buried.
"Now, it was not deemed best to
anger the king by refusing to do as he
commanded, so Mr.. Arnot took up the
body of the dog and threw it into the
river and paid a fine. All they can
pay with is cotton cloth, and of this
Mr.. Arnot had to pay forty yards. But
he did not sprinkle the blood of the
chicken on the ground, because that
would look like paying homage to the
spirits. However, there was an old
native who felt that this must be done
in order to avert evil consequences, so
he killed the chicken and went through
the ceremony. New York Tribune.

A City of Pitfalls.

Ever since the Crimean war many of
the populous thoroughfares of Odessa
have been undermined. In 1884 law
was framed by the municipal council
(dooma), making it obligatory upon
every landlord to fill up the mine which
opens from his premises. But obedi-
ence to that law was never insisted
upon, and the house owners ignored
its existence. OF late several accidents
have occurred where the ground on
the streets and sidewalks caved in and
fell into the mines. The municipal
council contemplated the enforcement
of the law, but the house owners pre-
sented a petition against this measure
on the plea that the mines are used as
cellars for the storage of goods, and if
they should be filed up their proper
ties would deteriorate in value.
Hereupon the city council adopted a
resolution obliging the landlords to line
the mines which open into their houses
with cemented walls so that the ground
above them should not cave in. In
cases where this cannot be done the
mines must be filed up. The landlord
who fails to do one thing or the other
will be responsible for all accidents that
may be caused by his negligence, and
be liable to an administrative fine" for
disobedience. The board of city archi-
tects, moreover, drew up a plan of all
the mines in the city, marking those
which can be made secure and those
which must be closed.-Exchange.
