RICHMOND.
The Irish Citizens Preparing to Celebrate
st. Patrick's Day.

RICHMOND, Feb. CO. Special There
has been great religious awakening in
Richmond this winter. OF course none
of the meetings, taken singly, compare
with the great Moody revival of six or
seven years ago, or that conducted by
Sam Jones last summer. The agrrc-
gate results, however, would perhaps
nearly equal either of these All de-
nominations have shared in the bone-
hts. but the acccssions to the Baptist
and Methodist churches have been
largest.
The Irish citizens arc preparing for
glorious st. Patrick's celebration on the
18th OF March. The weather may be
bad, as is usually the case. but the true
sons OF old Erin mean to celebrate any
how. There will be Il grand parade, =

Governor Mckinney has granted per
mission for tho formation of an artillery
company in Norfolk, and the organiza-
ton Will take place at once. SiXty-onc
young men signed the application. The
new command will he called Grimes

PROFITABLE SHEEP RAISING.
Southwest Virginia Farmers Looking Moro
Toward Wool and Mutton.

Southwest Virginia Farmers Looking Moro
Toward Wool and Mutton.
During the recent trip of Vice Prcsi-
dent Eddy, NJ. Boisscvain, tho Amster-
dam banker, and other capitalists up
the road to Bristol, the party commented
on tho greatly increased number of
sheep visible on the hillsides and inter
walls where the grass was beginning to
show greer. The lambs, too, were nu-
merous and surprise was expressed at
this by the Northern members of the
party.
Tho sheep seemed to be vigorous and
in good condition. Inquiries were made
at several points and considerable in
formation obtained. The party was in
formed that farmers had found that
they could get spring lambs from this
section into the New York and Phila.
delphla markets month earlier than
the Pennsylvania sheep raisers. Tho
business of sheep raising was reported
to be very profitable, and it was said
that nearly every farmer along the road
was beginning to get Il ilock together.
The Shropshire seems to be the favor
ito sheep, though the Southdown is
generally considered the choicer NUT
ton. But the Shropshire lamb grows
moro quickly than the Southdown, and
seems harder for the hill farms. BE.
sides the Shropshire has heavier
fleece.
Wool is now becoming an important
item in the Southwest Virginia farmers
sources of revenue. In the rush and
immense advertising which the coal and
iron arc giving this section many peo-
pie overlook the fact that there arc
eight profitable and flourishing wooden
mills along the line of the Norfolk and
Western in this section, giving the
farmers home market for their wool.
1t is safe prediction that sheep will
double in number in this section within
the next two years.

1t has just leaked out that that tho
colorcd citizens have held 4 meeting in
which it was resolved to take action
against certain of the bond ordinances
recently passed by the City Council by
defeating the measures at the polls.
Tho meeting was held in the High
Street Baptist Church on February 12.
1t was a kind of real estate meeting,
and when all business OF that nature
was disposed of p. W. Oliver, Il Railroad
avenue merchant, got up and stated
some things, which put tho whole as
semblY in furorc of excitement.
Among those present were Revs. r.
K. Jones and w. w. Brown, ID. w.
Harth, j, III. Davis, Il. II. Henry. A. j.
Oliver and r. w. Oliver.
Tho latter stated that the recent ac-
ton of the City Council in passing ordi-
nances for appropriations to be voted on
for certain purposes, needed to be looked
after by the colored people. IIo said no
was In favor OF any amount of appropri-
atoms for streets, sewers and schools,
provided the localities in which the
colorcd people lived would be guaran-
tecd their proportionatc part. lie was
oPPoS" VI SNeiJ W any appropriation
for new fire department in East Roa-
nokc, as well as the electric fire alarm
system. llc was also opposed to the APP
preparation for the Mayors office, and
thought that building sufficient to the
present needs.
The speakers madc known their dis
approval of voting for any expenditure
OF money unless some guarantee was
given them that they would enjoy a
part Of the benefits.
They did not think the colored citi-
zens could consci antiously vote for these
bonds in justice to themselves, and
thought it advisable to appoint COM
mittec to investigate the matter.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to call to be issued two weeks later.
TINES reporter interviewed several
OF the leading colored men on the sub.
jcct yesterday and was told in substance
what is related above. In speaking of
tho appropriations, p. w. Oliver said
that the colorod people living along
Gainsboro' avenue, and any section in
the northern part of the city, had
received no attention whatever from the
Council, save in tho matter of schools;
that no board-wallss, street improve
mcnts or water had been furnished
them, although they had been paying
taxes ever since the city was incorpor-
atcd.
AS to school facilities, he thought
they were adequate for tho present de-
mand. BUT would not object to any
amount appropriated for that purpose.
Water was what he wanted; streets
were what they needed, and not great
underground tunnel that would swallow
up the whole sewer appropriation and
only benefit one part OF the city.
n meeting will be held in few days
at the same place, wien committee
will be appointed to investigate the
matter and report. Some of the mem
bcrs of the City Council have been in
vitcd to be present for the purpose of
explaining things for better under
standing.
The larger number of the colored peo-
pie are open in their disapproval of tho
way things.have been going on, and de-
clare they will vote against the whole
thing of some guarantee is not given
them for proportionate share.
