The Martha Washington Tea par
ty and Napkin supper came off as
heretofore announced in the Presby-
terrain Church, Belle Haven, and was
q grand success. The recitations of
the children from 2 years old and up
were all very fine, but the introduce
DRY by Geo. Smith is deserving of
special mention. Instrumental music
was finely rendered by Leila Smith a
Miss of 8 years and Carrie Wills of
same age, sang Marguerite, with pleas
ing effect. Reuben and Rachel hen
dered by Miss Rosa Mears and r. r.
Floyd, merited the encore itsreceived
and deserved the applause of any
audience, however critical. Miss
Rosa Mears also sang with thrilling
effect, 1.-THE old roses are the sweet
est.n The supperseryed was superb
one.
Mr.. John J. Blackstone, Treasurer
of Accomac county, and Major John
E. Wise, deputy, decline to serve the
public longer In those relations.
Yielding to the opportunities of
friends they have had the matter I'M
der advisement for some time but
finally concluded, on last Monday, to
retire at the end of their present term.
They do SO with the best wishes of
nearly all our people and it is no
fulsome praise to state, that the opin-
ion expressed concerning their official
careers practically unanimous, is,
that the county never had more
faithful and efficient public servants.
Serving the public together for TWEEN
ty years or more, first as Sheriff and
then as Treasurer, during which time
each has been the chief and deputy
for the other, with close business re-
lations of 30 years more, their record
has been as honorable as it is perhaps
without u parallel in Virginia. They
would have been reelected without
opposition. Their ages arg now IS
and IS years respectively.
