DROUGHT IN SPOTSYLVANlA.
Funeral of Mrs. Josephine stephens-Poor

SPOTSYLVANTA, VA. July H-(Spe-
clal)-There is prevailing through this
section drought of unprecedented
length. In many localities in the county
there has been no rain since about the
middle Of Nay. The corn crops in many
places are stunned so by the dry weather
that il would be impossible now for
heavy rains 10 reclaim them 1t has not
been so dry in this section as 1t Is now
since 1864. Then there was no rain from
Nav 18th to August eth. This tells
heavily on the farmers and will produce
want and lack of food.
Mrs. Josephine Stephens. nee Scott. anu
reiict of Mr.. John j. Stephens, was
buried yesterday at the old family home

persons were present. She was lady
Of exalted worth ana character. and died

Mr.. T. II. Harries, who has been III
for some weeks with typhoid-fever, is
slowly improving.
The yield of wheat and oats through
this section is very poor. and the char
acter of the grain is below the average.
Politics have not stirred our people

Democratic vote OF this county, and hence

our people are anxiously awaiting the
passage of the tariff bin that it may be-
come a law, and that We may see its
effects upon trade and business generally
OF the country.
The recent riots and troubles at Chi

show a deplorable state Of things in those
sections, and all good people must hope
for the hasty reinstatement Of good feel

who are now provoking so much disorder

THE CORN-STALK BORER.
Information for Thoughtful
Agricuiturists.

written for the Dispatch)
II has lust been discovered here that
the villainous little corn-stalk borer (dia-
trae saccharalis) has again made its un-
welcome appearance in some Of the
corn-helds OF King George county, and
that II has already put in some ugly
work Its appearance so early in the
season, and that in such vast numbers.
Is. indeed. just cause for widespread
alarm and serious apprehension among
agriculturists. for II Is most indus
trious little depredator: its work is fatal,
and il IL a species OF insect that multi
plies rapidly.
IL was first noticed here in the summer
of 1891, when a correspondence between
the writer and Professor l.. o. Howard,
of the United States Division OF Ento-
mology at Washington, ID. c., resulted in
"A visit TO this county by an entomologist,
and a prolonged and critical investigation.
That investigation fully justified the con-
clusion that the worm infestng the corn

lepidopterous stalk-borer scientifically de-
cribed by Fabricius in 1893 as 'pyrals
saccharalis," and FIRST brought to notice
in the United States by DR.. j. b. Wilkn-
son, OF Louisiana. in 1851. and suisse
quently described by DR.. w. L. Ander-
son, OF South Carolina, as 'diatraea sac
charalis" Two papers written by Miss
Ormerod, and read before the Entomo-
logical Society, OF London. 1873. describe
the coleopterous borer, calandra palma
rum, and also another species. which is
evidently identical TO that now infesting
our fields: but so little has been written
on the subject In the United States that

damaged their fields, and which is de-

PROFESSOR JOHN T1NSLEY.

the pleasure OF meeting Professor john
Tinpley. OF the Miller School. In this
county. We borrowed his aneroid barome-

the main body OF the rock measured
S,ii5 feet above the sea level Last Octo-

there In order 10 see the sun rise the

came so very cold that he was forced
to climb over the rocks rugged sides

10 build fire. When We left the young
Humbolt he was on his way to point
two miles further South. which measures
about 200 feet higher than Hump-Back.
THE RETURN.
When we left the rock Il was crowded
with visitors from Augusta. Aibemarle,
Nelson, Richmond, and other points. II
was now high noon. and the descent TO
our Carriages began. BY l o'clock we had
finished our third meal Of the day. and
as the sun began to leave his zenith, the
fox.horn sounded once more. each Jacob

is buster than ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty
left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his

of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishearten him; obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
of it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in use everywhere. We are
informed that during the mex ten years
he intends to sell 200, 900 more OF his
make. That means a business of $780,

1t is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.
