Mr.. James NJ. Parham, one Of our most
respected citizens, and for many years
an inspector of tobacco at Moore's ware
house Is critically III.
There was a meeting OF the Populists
or Dinwiddie county at the courthouse
yesterday, at which several strong
speeches were made and the determine
ton evinced TO push forward their cause
at all hazards in the future. 1t is almost
needless to say that already the Popu-
lists are working hard for the advance
ment OF their party interests. and that in
the next election for Congress they will
make big fight in this district. They are
even looking ahead to the next presidential
election. and to gaining much greater
strength I'm the next Legislature or Vir-
ginia. Their activity puts 10 shame the
organization OF the Democratic and Re
publican parties.
CAROLINA WINS.
The cooking main between chickens from
North Carolina and those raised in the
vicinity OF this city was won by the
North Carolina chickens. Nine battles
were fought, and North Carolina won
seven out OF the nine battles.
Mr.. T. T. Hewlett. on old and respected
