Yesterday the Alexandria Gazette entered
upon its ninety-second year, green old
age, to be sure" as it says. 1t is an after
noon paper, and its columns are always
filed with choice news. General LEE was
very fond of reading it, and often spoke OF
its candor and fairness. Although we
sometimes disagree with it in the positions
it takes, we never doubt the sincerity, pa.
triotism, and ability of its editors and
managers. and it is one of our most valued
exchanges. From its foundation 1t has
been in the SNowDEs family, and through
out its long and useful life 1t has been q
devoted exponent OF Virginia views and
interests.
In its last issue it says:
Unlike Senator Ingalls,, the Gazette be-
leves that the Decalogue and the Golden
Rule have place in politics, and, like
Rev. DR.. Hoge, il does not believe that
what is morally wrong can be politically
right. Ii thinks that its long life is due tc
the courage and honesty with which II ex'
presses its belief: but. whether so or not,
il will continue to do IN the future as 1t has
done in the past, and, with that determi.
nation, il wishes happy New-Year to the
families of all into whose homes 1t daily

A Fatal Application of the Fad to a
Brother of senator Pettigrew.
by telegraph 70 the Dispatch,l

Sioux FALLS, S. D.. January 1.-Austin
Pettigrew, q brotherof Senator Pettigrew,
died last night. He was forty-fve years Of
age and leaves a wife and daughter. He
had been ill since Thanksgiving-day and
his wife being an ardent believer in Chris
tian science persuaded him to accept that
treatment. Last week relatives living in
the city telegraphed TO Senator Pettigrew
in Washington TO come home at once. AS
soon a. the Senator arrived he cleared his
several regular physicians, who declared
that it was too late. The Christian
Scientists, on the other hand, assert that
had their treatment been left alone Petit
grew would not have died. There is con-
siderable feeling in the city over the cir
cumstances.

Prosperous Year-Bad Roads
Correspondence o: tho Richmond Dispatch.l
STUART, Va, December 81, 1890.
Christmas is over and our people have
settled down to everyday work. The sea-
son was not gay. Only two entertainments
were given, one by Hon. G.. r. Martin, ex-
mayor of Stuart, the other by Slr. G. f..
Smith, one of our most prominent mer-
chants. Both of these festive occasions
were greatly enjoyed 10y the large number
of guests present.
The public schools throughout the
county will open tomorrow.
CROPS AND PROVISIONS.
The past year has been q prosperous one
for Patrick county. Good crops were made
and provisions are abundant. The mer-
chants have had good trade, money IL
more plentiful, and all classes Of our peo-
pie are in better condition than they
have been for years.
BAD ROADS.
The roads are in fearful condition. In
some portions of the county the snow is
still two feet deep and travel is almost en-
tirely suspended.
The prospect now il bright for Stuart to
be on big boom in the early spring and
take rank along with her sister towns of
Southwest Virginia. DRIVER.

Our quiet little village was aroused at an

by the night operator Of the Norfolk and

There was not much excitement, and the
flames were soon extinguished. Though
had it been little later discovered the en-
tire building would have been destroyed.
The fire originated from a defective 1ue.

EMANCIPATION PABADEs.
For some time preparations on quite an
extensive scale have been made by our
colored citizens to celebrate Emancipa-
tion-day. Crowds of darkies from the sur
rounding counties came into town. Owing
to the ram and the muddy condition Of
our streets the line did not move until |
o'clock. After parading the principal
streets the procession was dismissed IN
front of Rev. John NJ. DawsOn's church,
when the crowd entered and for several
hours listened to speeches from their ora
tors.

very well and reflected much credit upon

Baptist rrligion-constantly preach.

opportunity escape where he could
get in few links on other creeds and
especially the Methodist belief.
The other night he struck mem
ber OF the Methodist persuasion,
whom he found as valiant 10 the
cause as himself, and consequently
the war Of words and arguments was
red hot.
After an hours dispute the Baptist
member turned to his foe, and with
look of triumph said:

Two well-known authors. who are
also very successful lecturers, were
talking together few days ago over
their experiences on the platform.
One Of the twain was James Whit

were discussing the question Of the
best way OF handing audiences, when
one OF them said:
What do you DO, Riley, when you
find you have n cold audiencef How
do you warm them upg'
Don't try" said the poet. You

dietetic needs Of our bodies announce
themselves In IA versatile language OF
