There are many superstitions common
among fishermen. Should woman haps
pen to stride the rod no fish will be caught
that day. To lose the first fish is regarded
as an indication Of bad luck. Old fisher
men along our mountain streams have
been known to go home in disgust if such
mishap came to them. When fishermen
start out in group it is considered un-
lucky for some one to count them. 1t is
considered unlucky to start on a fishing

success will depend rot upon coll

other parts of their premises-and for
that reason home institution-com-
handing their affection and deserv-

You will not be ashamed of and which

The last election by viva roce vote
vas held in Kentucky, last Monday,
with the usual majority of about
twenty thousand in favor of the Dem
ccratic ticket. The new constitution
voted for without party significance,
despite the powerful opposition of
railroads, banks and corporations
g' nerally, was carried by an over
whelming majority, and the last
State constitution that still recog-
nized slavery is a thing of the past
The new constitution will tax rail
ways, banks and stock companies,
abolishes the office of public printer,
provides for secret ballot system
and municipal government reforms
and carries an anti-lottery clause,
which will wipe out the lottery char

1t is reported that Colonel Robert
Beverly, of Fauquier, will be the
Farmers Alliance candidate for Unit
cd States Senator against Senator
Daniel before the next Legislature OF
this State.-Norfolk Virginian.
Col. Beverly is reckoning without
his host if he expects any help from
tie Eastern Shore in his aspirations
fer senatorial horors. The candidate
for the Legislature from either of the
counties who would declare for Bev-
erly against Daniel would find him
self without corporal's guard at the
polls, or who, if without making the
issue should vote against him as q
member of the Legislature, would be
cut very short in his political career.
There is no class of our people with
whom Senator Daniel is more popu-
lar than with the farmers, to whom
Mr. Beverly is undoubtedly looking
to for support in the event he should
be candidate.
