An Explanation OF the Rapid Spread OF
the Destructive Disease.
The leaves and twigs are the only
portions of the peach tree which are
known TO be affected by the fungous
disease popularity c-led leaf curl. The
chief cause of the spread of this dis
ease is doubtless owing to the fact that
the mycelium is perennial in the leaf
buds, that is, it passes the late sum
mer, autumn and winter months in the
tissue of the leaf buds. ana in the fol-
lowing spring grows out with the de-
veloping leaf, multiplying more abund-
antly in certain portions than in 9th

The Democrats in attendance at
the silver conference held in the city
of Washington, last week, were SO
temperate in their utterances, that
they seem to have given offence to
no one. Their address TO the coun-
try, too lengthy for publication
Though our columns, is generally
described by the Press OF the country
as conservative in tone and the pro
ceedings were such, as not to give
the most stalwart Democrat any just
ground for complaint. IN consider
iag the silver question, fealty to their
party was not forgotten, and Hon.
WIn. A. Jones, our representative in
Congress, seems to have voiced the
sentiments of the most of the dele
gates present, by declaring, that
while as warm friend of silver as
anyone in the country, that he had
been q Democr&t before he had been
q silver man and would remain &
Democrat no matter what platform
was adopted. The resolutions were
presented by Hon. John W. Daniel,
and adopted without opposition.

The Atlanta Exposition.

The San Francisco Examiner says:
''Ihe Cotton States and Information
al Exposition to be opened at Atlanta
next month promises to surpass in
size and variety of exhibits not only
the Midwinter Fair held in this city,
but even the Centennial Exposition
held in Philadelphia, and hence every
other exposition in this country save
the Worlds Fair at Chicago. In eH-
hibits from the Southern States and
from Central America and South
American countries it will exceed the
collection at Chicago. In all respects
it will be fair not to be underesti-
mated by either exhibitors or visi-
tors. California, though tardy, is
preparing to send collection of her
products, and if the supervisors of
the counties fulfill their agreements,
this State will be fairly represented,
Notwithstanding the unfortunate diff
ferences between the State Board of
Trade and Mrs. Dooley concerning
the place for their display. Every
Southern State will be well repre-
sented, and several of the Northern
States. including New York, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, will have
State buildings. Congress has APP.
propriated $250,OO0 for building and
exhibit for the government. The
Atlanta Exposition deserves the cor
dial support of every State in the
Union. It's success will stimulate the
trade relations between the Northern
and Southern States, and also be
tween the United States and the re-
publics that lie closer to the equator.
it will add to the new commercial
activity OF the South and contribute
to the amity OF States. The symp-
toms of this manufacturing activity
and commercial energy, the signs OF
the new social conditions and the
patriotism of the South will be eX.
pressed at the Atlanta Exposition in
a way that will make the Northern
visitor wonder and admire"

Potato Bugs Impede Traffic.

An army of potato bugs, having
completed the seasons work among
the farmers of Long Island, has taken
to the railroads, and the insects
swarm on the irons in such numbers
as to interfere at times with the
speed of the trains. Superintendent
Larke, of the Sea Beach route to
Coney Island, said yesterday: 1.-The
potato bugs began to trouble US
about five days ago.
"They are as bad as caterpillars.
and in each trip over the road we use
one box of sand. Even that does not
suffice. Yesterday it took one train
twenty minutes to make three miles.
To-day we tried the experiment
of attaching brooms to the pilots of
the engines, and that worked well.n

seekers, should admonish us that the

work and will use every element to

Copartnership.

The undersigned have this day
formed a copartnershlp under the
firm name and style Of Needles y
Wilson, at Franklin City, Accomacll
county, Virginia. for the purpose of
engaging in the Real Estate Agency
business in all its various branches,
at that place. We flatter ourselves
that, our facilities for conducting
said business successfully are not sur
passed by any other in the same line
on the Peninsula, and we hope, there
fore, that by strict attention to bust
ness and careful regard for the in
terest of our patrons to merit and re-
ceive a liberal share of the patronage
of those having real estate to dispose
of and also of those who desire to
purchase. Our terms will be moder-
ate and accommodating. In connec-
ton with our Office is Il Notary Pub
lie and General Conveyancer, who
has had MANY years of experience in
the different lines of his business.
We propose to purchase, sell
and exchange all real estate
that may be placed in our hands, to
the very best advantage for our pa
irons. We now have awaiting us,
to place upon the market q number
of tracts Of land, farms, houses and
lots situate at Franklin City and in
other sections of this county, all of
which will be sold cheap, and upon
such reasonable terms as cannot fail
to suit any purchaser.
Accomack and Northampton coun-
ties are proverbially known for hay
ing lands well adapted to the raising
of fruits, early vegetables, and trucks
of almost every kind. The location
of the said counties render the situa
ton very desirable for residences;
there is excellent society, good schools,
churches of various denominations,
postoffices in every locality, railroad
and telesraphic facilities within easy
reach of every person; the nearby
waters abound in fish, oysters, CLANS,
crabs and terrapin, and the shores
and flats in. and adjacent the waters
are covered with whitewater fowl and
game in their season-in fact, no sec
ton of the United States offers great
81 inducement to investors III real
estate, whether for profit or for
healthful home locations than 90
these eastward counties of Virginia,
and the Eastern Shore counties OF
our adjoining sister State of Mary
land. Having the broad Atlantic
ocean and its tributaries on the east
side, and the great Chesapeake bay
and it's tributaries on the west, the
Eastern Shores of Virginia and Mary
land stands to-day unrivalled by any
other country, in its many advan-
tages to the citizens and those seek
ing investments.

in regard to the lands, Sc, in this
section, address Needles 81 Wilson,

Roads Association with a view to
holding a convention in Richmond,
on the 10th day of October. A gen
eral invitation has been issued by the
association to all who are in any way
interested in the subject OF
road improvement but in Or
der that there may be
delegation from each county au

cular letter has been directed
to the chairman of the board
OF supervisors in every county,
asking him to appoint delegates
to the convention, one repre-
senting the entire county and one
from each magisterial district.
The question of road Improvement
is one, in which our people are too
much interested at present, for them
to neglect any opportunity to get
light on the subject. The delegates
will be appointed from this county,
and only those should be, from whom
a pledge is obtained in advance to
attend.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal lee
lures the Stanton News for under
taking to read Major Daniel out of
the senatorship because OF his partic-
ipation in the silver conference at
Washington;" and our contemporary
adds:
Major Daniel is so good Demo
crat, so loyal a Yirginian, and so dis
tinguished senator that 4 little
thing like Washington silver con.
ference will not be bar to his re-
election to the Senate. Besides, the
Democratic party in Virginia has not
so many big men in its ranks that it
can afford to turn the cold shoulder
toward John Daniel. If that were
attempted by any faction in the party
there would be such g howl from
honest money and free coinage Dem
ocrats in all parts at the State that
our Staunton friends would fee to
the mountains to escape the popular
wrath. At the same time we trust
that Senator Daniel will act with
great discretion and continue to JUS
tlfy the confidence which his friends
repose in him.
The silly twaddle in which the
News INDUCES is apparent to every
one at all acquainted with the lite
and character Of Senator Daniel. Nc
one doubts Daniels democracy, and
every Nirginian ought 10 know that
he is "a Democrat first, silyerite
afterwards and that there is just as
much consistency in being a Demo
crat and silverite as q Democrat and
gold bug. The money question is
one SO little understood bythose best
informed in the matter that we can
not afford to be uncharitable in our
Upinios Of those differing with us.
