Success of the South-River DInner-An
the Candidates At Work.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
SrASAnpsvrLLE, May 22-The grip de-
layed coming to this section until late IN
the season, but it is putting in some tell
ing symptoms now. 1t is in most.mnlignant
form near Stanardsville. Several cases
have resulted in pneumonia.
The South-River dinner was success.
The eatables were served in very desira-
BILE manner. The crowd was large, con-
sidering the busy season of the year.
Ample money was realized to buy the
needed organ. The young people enjoyed
themselves with suitable games on the
river green. The older ones paired of and
became sentimental under the inspiration
Of the surroundings. The oldest folks
talked gossip and election news, 80 the
day passed pleasantly 90 all. Many par
took of the excellent supper which awaited
them there.
PERSONALS.
Miss Matte Beasley and Mr.. John Beasley
returned to Charlottesville.
Miss LouwilEe Stevens and her two chill
dren came from their Kentucky home
Wednesday on o visit to her parents OF
South River.
Judge Mcmillan left here yesterday for
Madison Courthouse.
The Rev Balm and wife visited the Luray
Caverns this.week. They had pleasant
drive over the mountains.
Mr. q. L. Blskey had another very bad
attack of paralysis this evening. His sick
ness is very much regretted, as these at
tacks forebode serious result. lie is one
of our best men.
LIVELY POLITICS.
Next Thursday is election-day. The fun
is growing fast and furious. The canvass
ing Is getting lively here. The candidates
are becoming excited. They had big
soup-boiling and fsh-fry on Middle r.yer
to-day. About O hundred beauties-the
mountain trout-were eaten. A large
crowd of men were at the election feast.
THE CROPS
The wheat crop will not be as large here
as IL promised earlier. The extremely dry
weather has cut it short. The cherry crop
is unusually large in this county this year.
There is an abundance of all kinds of fruit,
This is naturally fine fruit growing sec
ton. The fruit which natures here can
not be excelled in quantity, nor quality
either when not blighted by frost. 1t is
not as often frosted here as in other Sec
tions. The mountains protect it.

garden, when he heard noise through the
leaves Of the adjoining woods which he
thought was made by a squirrel, and look
ing around saw very large and long black
snake advancing rapidly toward him. A
large log was between them, and on reach
ing 10 tho snake elevated himself above IL,
and as Tilman turned to get O stick 10 de-
fond himself, leaped upon him, taking IN
his mouth the left-breast lapel OF his coat
and wrapped himself twice around his lett
arm.
DESPERATE srRrGoLE.
Tlman caught the snake just below his
head and finding that IL was slipping from
his grasp caught him again below that
hand with the other. and thus continued
10 hold him from hand to hand probably
about five minutes, when, finding the
snake weakening and pulling through the
grasping hand more slowly, with the other
got out his knife, which he vainly attempted
to open with his teeth. Finally Olsen:
gaging from the snake his thumb be opened
the knife and cut his head of. MIR. Ill
man being very industrious and hard
working man was fortunate enough TO
have hard hand and a vigorous grip. else
no one could say what would have been
the result, as the black snakes bite IS or
dinarlly innocent. yet when the reptile be-
comes excited it is said to be fatally
poisonous. Who can beat Powhatan IN a
true snake story? He measured 1t and 1t
measured feet inches.
