RAMBLER.
Wilton Dots,

To the delight of his many friends
Mr.. H. j. Douthat returned some days
ago from trip through the West.
Sunday was such an lnclement day
that Sunday School was suspended, also
the usual sermon at night by Rev. s. NJ.
Bowman.
We are glad to learn of the decrease
in our sick list, and that those who have
for some time been confined to the house
are able to be out again.
1t is being whispered around that one
of our most popular young men contem-
plates matrimony in the near future. If
SO, we wish him much joy and success.
The majestic old mountains that sur
round this little glen have presented an
imposing aspect as they doomed up in
the distance, clothed in their robes of
spotless purity.
For several days ourquiet little village
has been enjoying the first big snow of
the season, and the young folks-as well
as some who are not so young-have
broken the monotony of quiet winter
by INDUCING in the delightful sport of
coasting.

noon at O'Clock for the transaction Of
business. Applications for relief can be
made to any member of the Committee
who will give them immediate attention.
It is the intention of the Committee not
to allow any worthy poor to suffer for
want of the necessaries of life or proper
clothing.
The appeal made by the Secretary and
Treasurer should receive hearty re-
spouse. If you can't give money, pros
visions, clothing or anything that will
assist the Committee in its work will be
acceptable. Don't think, because you
don't know of any one in need that there
are nops, but send what you can to Mr..
H. L. Van Sickler, so that the Commit
tee will always have enough to supply
the demand made upon them.
Help little, help much, help all you

tivity when confidence is restored to
the commercial world. Every agency,
both human and divine, seem to CO.
operate to assure the future of Clifton
Forge. 1t is the junction of the East
ern, Western and James River Divis-
ions of the
! Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad System
and its close proximity to the great
Coal Fields just west of us, and the

featuring.

A Large Cargo of Cotton.

The British steamship l[ontezuma
sailed from New Orleans for Liverpool
Thursday last with a valuable cargo,
which included 1910 bales of cotton,
46,473 bushels of corn and 1900 pieces of
slaves. This is the largest cargo of cot>
ton ever shipped from New Orleans in a
single vessel, and the second largest
cargo of the feecy staple which ever left
the United States. The Montezuma is
a large twin-screw ship, which has been
plying regularly in the New Orleans
trade this season. She measures 1904
gross tons and her net tonnage is 1874
tons. She is capable of carrying $500
tons dead weight, with draft of 25 feet
and 10 inches. The exports of cotton
from New Orleans this year have been
much larger than last year, the excess
being $50, 900 bales. The departure from
the wharf at New Orleans of a vessel
with such cargo demonstrates that the
Mississippi jettie are of immense value
to the commerce of the Crescent City.

At Oil City, Pa, one night last
week thousands Of people in that city
and vicinity were gazing at marvellous
spectacle In the heavens. High towards
the zenith in the East, huge cross
white in color and indescribably bril-
liant, blazed in the sky, while the moon,
encircled by 4 star light, made a beau
tiful centerpiece. At each corner of the
cross appeared to be huge balls of living
fire, of all the colors of the rainbow.
The phenomena lasted for nearly half
an hour The meteorologican sharps
silence the saperstitioQs by saying it was
caused by a peculiar condition of the
atmosphere and the presence of a thin
cloud that performed sort of lens, caus-
ing a refraetion of the rays of light from
the moon

Our Celebrated
A Great Success.

The entertainment given in the Opera
House Friday night. 23rd inst, under
the auspices of Judge G. f. Moore for
the benefit of the poor was success IN
every way The program had to be
changed owing to the unavoidable ao
sence of Miss Blanche Pierce and MI. T.
G. Taylor.
The entertainment opened by con-
cert recitation by Misses Mayne Quinn,
Mary Bryant, Mollie Tulloh, Lille Tul-
lob, Leana Savins and Hettie Ham.
The recitation was followed by music
by the orchestra, after which Judge
Moore, having been introduced by Kew.
Mr.. Book, delivered his lecture entitled
1.-The Boom as we now see it"
The Judge evidently spoke from ex-
perience, at least SO far as the result OF
the town is concerned. He first dwelt
on the causes which produced the boom.
These were good and legitimate. He
then showed up the methods adopted in
developing it, which seemed to cause
some restlessness and remorse among
that part of his audience known as real
estate agents. Lastly he touched upon
the results of the ''bocln." This brought
sad recolIections to the minds of the ma
jority of the audience, and the mourn
full countenances among the audience
showed plainly that many present had
tried to get rich quick, but had fallen
into snare instead. and consequently
we're bound together by common bond
of sympathy.
The lecture was good in every respect
and contained enough wit to give it the
right flavor 1t was delivered in the clear,
easy and natural style so characteristic
of the Judge and elected much applause.
The house was we'll filled, and the net
receipts were about $50. There were no
expenses, as everything was donated.

The Big Storm.

The snow storm which visited us Sun
day and Monday was widespread. 1t
started Friday night on the Gulf of
Mexico and came northward along the
coast, the wind blowing from the north
east. The snow was preceded by cold
wave which made the storm very severe.
In Texas, Arkansas and Alabama it was
the worst that has visited that section of
the country for years. In Alabama the
fruit is very much injured.
In New York and New Jersey the storm
developed into blizzard and several per-
sons were frozen to death. In the North.
ern cities the street cars were run with
great difficulty, and the drivers and
motor-men suffered considerably. The
railroads were considerably interfered
with and nearly all trains were late
In this section of Virginia the snow
fell from early Sunday morning till Mon
day morning, making it from 10 to "a
inches in depth.
