guests were President Cleveland and
members of his cabinet, who journeyed
from Washington to do honor to the
young couple. There were present,
too, Gov. Morton and a score of diplo-
mats. It was indeed state occasion
as well as great social function. So
ciety and politics for the moment were
happily mixed.

The Famous Healer's Work In Denver
Goes Away Mysteriousiy.
Denver, Col, Nov. 15.-Quite sensa-
ton was created here by the announce
ment that Francis Schlatter had mys-
tericusly disappeared. Thursday morn
ing a member of the Fox family, with
which family he had been staying, went
about eight o'clock to call him for
breakfast, but his room was found va
can't.
Later in the morning note from
Schlatter was found reading: ''Mr. Fox,
my mission is finished. The Father
takes me away. (Signed) F. Schlat-
ter"
Denver, COL, Nov. 16.-The retreat of
Francis Schlatter, the healer, has been
well covered. 1t would seem that
where he is so well known he could not
mC,e far without being discovered, but
this man is not like ordinary men. He
has suffered privations in the Arizona
deserts so severe that few days Of
fasting in the Colorado hills during
comparatively mild weather is no hard
ship. Besides he is so respected by the
general public that were he to request
seclusion and privacy he would be
granted it without question. Hence
he may be at Rooney's ranch near the
Garden of the Angels at Morrison, or
he may be quietly resting near the city.
All day long people wandered over to
the Fox cottage to gaze upon the scene
where for SIS days Francis Schlatter
stood administering the healing touch.

POSY RINGS.

Some Of These Posies Are Very Quaint ana
Curious.
When posies inside of wedding rings
were first introduced does not seem to
be known, says Chambers Journal
Time has covered that, as he does so
many things, with the MOSES Of ebliv-
ion, but we know that from the six
teenth century until the middle of the
eighteenth it was customary to have
them engraved on rings. These pos
les or notices are seldom to be found
with more than two lines of verse, and
often with only one, but there are few
instances known where three lines
are used. Some of these posies are
very quaint and curious, and few
reach high standard of poetic beauty.
In 1912 a small collection of rhymes
was published with the title of Loves
Garland; or Posies for Rings, Handker-
chiefs and Gloves, and Such Pretty To-
kens That Lovers Send Their Loves" It
contains some posies that are not TO be
met with elsewhere, and is a very inter
esting work, though but few people seem
to have heard of it. The South Ken

A Monument to an Apple.

The Rumford Historical Society of
Woburn, Mass, will erect a monu-
ment where one hundred years ago
was discovered the kind of apples
now known as Baldwins.
Samuel Thompson, of Woburn,
Mass, while surveying a route for
the MiddleseX canal, discovered this
apple. His attention had been drawn
to it by the number OF wood peckers
which gathered about the trees on
account of the apples. Mr.. Thomp-
son thought it a new variety, and as
it pleased his taste he called the at
tention of his neighbors to it, and he
and his brother FASTENED to graft
from it many trees on their own es-
tates. It was first called the 'pecker'
apple, the Buffers apple from
the owner of the land where the tree
was found. The brothers Thompson
were constant in their efforts to scat
ter it far and wide, and for miles
around the people secured branches
of it and grated their trees.
The neighbor and friend of the
Thompson's Col. .Loammi Baldwin,
the eminent engineer, showed the
fruit to his many guests, who came
from distant parts of the country.
and this did much for the spread Of
the apples fame, which in a few
years came to be known as the
baldwin"
The granite shaft which is to be
erected by the Rumford Historical
Association of Woburn is seven feeJ
high and is surmounted by repre-
sentation of Baldwin apple.

Copartnership.

The undersigned have this day
formed a copartnershlp under the
firm name and style of Needles &
Wilson, at Franklin City, Accomack
county, Virginia, for the purpose of
engaging in the Real Estate Agency
business in all its various branches,
at that place. We tlatter 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 liberal share of the patronage
of those having real estate to dispose
of and also to those who desire to
purchase. Our terms will be moder-
ate and accommodating. In connec
ton with our office is 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. ex-
change and rent out 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 a 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 hav-
ing lands we'll 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 Geographic 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
er inducement to investors in real
estate. whether for profit or for
healthful home locations than do
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 its 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.
For terms and for any information
in regard to the lands, &C., in this
section, address Needles & Wilson,
real estate agents, franklin City, Ac-
comac county, Va.

The Massey-Pilot libel suit is still
being heard by the court at Norfolk,
and speedy conclusion of the mat
ter does not seem probable-it being
doubtful, according to the views given
through the Press, if a verdict of any
kind is rendered by the jury. Mr..
Massey was on the stand, according
to our latest advices, and his evidence,
if believed by the jury, would doubt
less go very far towards verdict in
his favor, but whether the jury will
believe him or those who testifying
for the defense, have said that they
would not believe him on oath is
another question. Nothing seems to
have been developed in the case,
however, showing that Mr.. Massey
has stolen the school funds of Vir-
ginia, and the jury if combining them
selves to that point in issue without
considering his character, cannot it
seems to US, fail to arrive at verdict
in his favor.

The prospects of success for the
Democratic party in the next presi-
Dental election are very flattering,
in the opinion of Ex-Governor James
L. Campbell, of Ohio. In late in
terview, he stated, from what he
could learn from the leaders, New
York would be largely Democratic,
If an election could be held in that
State at this time, and referring to
the general outlook, he said:
In 1896 you can rest assured we will
have landslide. Victory is near at
hand. The factories all over the
country are increasing wages, and i'll
great many cases night and day
forces are employed, to keep up with

This unusual activity in this direc-

be laid in Monroe Park. The Confed-
crate camps are also taking an inter
est in the matter of securing roster
of the officers and men from Virginia
who served in the Confederate army.
The complete rolls are understood to
be in possession of the war records

The Decrease Continues to be Small.

Since the reports of the assessment
of the valuation pfreal estate IL forty
five counties of the State have been
published, Colonel Morton Marye,
the Auditor of Public Accounts, has
received complete reports from the
following additional ten counties:
Madison, Brunswick, Smyth, Carroll,
Giles, Charles City, Fauquier, Rock
bridge, Norfolk and Halifax.
The reports from all fifty-five coun-
ties show that the valuation of prop
erty on the land-books of 1894 aggre-
gated $01, 904, $50, while the assess
ment of this year amounts to SS9, 4S1,-
PA, showing a decrease of So, 423, 406,
% per cent. The decrease of the
valuation in the forty five counties
previously reported was equal to
2 8 16 per cent; so that the ten adj
ditional counties only added 1-16 per
cent. Should the forty five remain
ing counties show a decrease even
twice as large as those already heard
from, the total decrease would
amount to less than per cent, and
it is certainly to be expected that the
cities will at least hold their own.

AccoMAc COURTHOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, July IS, 1895.
Entered at the Postoflice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The question viii, perhaps, be
finally settled, at the meeting of the
Harmanson-W West Camp of Confeder-
ate Veterans at Parksley, next We'd
nesday, whether or not, a monument
is to be erected to the Confederate
dead of the Eastern Shore, and it is
important therefore, that there shall
be full attendance of its members.
That a shaft pointing heavenward,
commemorative of the valor of the
comrades who fought with them and
died for the Lost Cause would be
pleasing to them, goes without say
ing-that they should be leaders in
the movement looking to the accom-
plishment of that object, is not only
expected of them, but duty which
they cannot neglect, if they would
not be false to the memory of the
gallant heroes from the Eastern
Shore who lost their lives in defense
of the South. No.one outside of the
organization could, of course, take
the lead in the matter, but no one
who loved the cause for which Lee
and Jackson fought could refuse to
honor the boys in gray, whose devo-
ton in following them led only to
glory and the grave, by not contribu-
ting to fund for a monument to be
erected to their memory. Action is
necessary first on the part of the
Camp, but we mistake the temper Of
the people of the Eastern Shore, if
the Camp in any movement looking
TO the erection of the monument is
not backed by the great body of our
people.

Development of Newport News.

1t is more than probable that New
port News will lead all the other
cities of the State in showing the
largest percentage Of gain in the
value of real estate. The assessment
show an increase Of So. 534, 542 or more
than 200 per cent. The total assess
ment in 1890 was 81, 151,913. The new
assessment is S3,6S6,455. This is a
splendid exhibit and is an additional
evidence OF the remarkable develop
ment of growth and prosperity
around and about the vicinity OF
Norfolk and Hampton Roads. The
increase in value of real estate in this
section will run up over seven mil
lions of dollars.-Norfolk Virginian.
