Roekbridge County.

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. 18.-The
weather continues dry, no rain Of
any consequence for many weeks.
The distilleries in the county are
practically shut down for want Of
water, and as a result thousands of
bushels Of apples are rotting and
cannot be used By the brandy dis
tilleries, who haye bought and stor-
ed large quantities. The fall
blowing for next years wheat crop
is far behind and but small acre
age is ready for seeding, and unless
there is rain soon to put the ground
in condition for blowing there will
be no wheat sown in this county to
speak Of, exception the corn land.
Northern and Western fruit buy
ers are in several sections Of the
county buying up the choice fruit
crop, the like of which was never
before seen in this section of the
Valley. Choice Northern Spies
Pippins and other grades of fine
apples are being retailed here at 1t
cents per busheI, and the fruit mel
are glad to get that price for the
fruit. Baltic. Sun.

of the ladies of the Cabinet fami-
lies, which left Washington ON the
DIST on a special train for Atlanta
carried no banners, brass bands or
other implements of war but their
arrival was no doubt hailed with
much more delight by the citizens
Of Georgia's metropolis than was
another party which visited the
same city something like thirty
one :, ears ago, amid the roar OF
cannons, the rafting Of drums
the blare Of trumpets and waving
of flags.

Waynesboro Sentinel, 18th; An
epidemic has broken out among the
COWS of this section. several CT
which have died. DR.. Cooper CRl-
lis, specialist of the agricultural
department at Washington, was
through here last week and says
be thinks the disease is caused by
the dropping of ticks from cattle
passing through this section from
buckingham and iluyanna conr-
ties. He says the ticks get ON the
cattle, the bite causing Il sore and
the germ is thereby taken nito the
blood, causing what is commonly
known as tse g fever.

A little 6 year-old fellow on his
way to school this morning was
met by gentleman who twitted
him about carrying so many books
why do you carry 50 many books
asked the gentleman, you don't
learn anything" The reply came
back in the shape Of the following
very bright remark: why do you
talk so much, you don't say any
toing." The young hopeful's ar
cument was unanswerable.-Er.

yention held at Warm Springs on

ties of Allegheny, Bath and High

ries with it. -
It's proper shat | should let the
voters of this district know my po-
sition on the political questions
that will probabl y come before the
next Legislature Of Virginia.
It is.a notorious fact that the
election law under which we now
vote is one Of the most partisan
acts of legislation ever enacted
That it was passed for the purpose
Of fraud and for the purpose of
perpetuating the Democratic party
in mower there can be no doubt.
Such law IS a disgrace to any
State and to the party responsible
for it's enactment. Every honest
man who loves his country and Is
proud Of the past history OF ylr-
Einia should assist in wiping this
! law cut Of existence. If | an elect
! ed, | promise the people OF this
district to use every honest means
in my power to have the present
election law repealed, and i'll hav-
ing enacted non-partisan election
law such as proposed by the la
Petersburg conference which vii
give every voter the right to cas-
his ballot and to have that ballo
honestly counted as cast.
/ believe in the great principle
of the Republican party and stan'
ready to carry out those principle
whenever and wherever can.

ton Of our State government an

vas written in the prison dead
house at Camp Chase by Colonel
" S. Hawkins. A fellow-prison-
n was engaged to a beautiful lady;
she proved faithless and her letter
came breaking the troth soon at
ter he died, and this was the Colo
nel's reply:
Your letter came, but came too late
For Heaven had claimed its owns
All, sudden change! from prison
bars
Unto the Great White Throne!
And vet l think he would have
stayed
For one more day Of pain,
Could he have read those tardy
words
Which YOU have sent in vain.
why ala you wall. lar ia"S'
Through so many a weary hour!
Had YOU other lovers with you
In that silken dainty bower?
Did others bow before your charms
And Irvine bright garlands there?
And yet. | ween, in1all that throng
His spirit had no peer.
| wish that you were by me now,
AS | draw the sheet aside,
To see how pure the look he wore
A while before he died.
Yet the sorrow that you gave HIM
Still had left its weary trace;
And a meek and sanity sadnes
Dwells upon his pallid face.
Her love-" he said, could change
for me
The winters cold to spring.
All, trust Of thoughtless maiden :
love,
Thou art a little thing!
For when these valleys faIr IN May,
Once more with bloom sEall wave
The northern vioets shall grow,
Above his humble grave.
Your dole of scanty words had been
But one more pang to bear;
Tho to the last he kissed with love
This tress of your soft hair;
[ did not put it where ne said,
For, when the angels come,
| wouldn't have them find tho sign
Of falsehood in the tomb.
I've read the letter, and | know
The wiles that you have wrought
To win that noble heart of bis,
And gained it-fearful thought
What lavish wealth men often give
For a trihe, light and small!
What manly forms are often held
In Fancy's fimsy thralll
You shall not pity him, for now
He's past your hope and fear;
Attic [ Wish that you could Stan'
With me beside his bier.
Still, I'll forgive you, Heay'n know
For mercy you'll have need.
Since God His awful judgemen
sends
On each unworthy deed.
Tonight the cold winds whistle by
AS | my yigils keep
Within the prison deal-housa wher
Few mourners come to weep.
, A rude, plank coffin holds him nov
Yet Death gives always grace,
And | would rather see him thus
Than claaped in your EN- brace.
Tonight your rooms are very gay
With wit, and wine, and song;
And you are smiling, just as If
You never did a wrong.
: Your hand so fair that none Youl
] think
1t penned these words Of pain;
Your skin so white--woulC to &c
your soul
Were half so free OF stain.
