Newport News is a city of about
5 $4,000 inhabitants, is situated on q
point of land formed by the conhu-
ence of the James river and Hamp-
ton Roads, twenty miles from capes
Charles and Henry, the mouth of the
Atlantic coast, has depth of twenty
seven feet at low water, and can ac-
commodate the largest vessels aaoat.
The climate is good, neither too hot
in summer nor too cold in winter to
interfere with out door labor.
Navigation is always possible here.
Newport News is the terminus OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway and
is in close and direct touch with the
marts Of western empire and being
the natural outlet for the products
of an immense area of territory ex-
tending south, west and northwest,
and the natural receiving point for
distributing supplies over the same
territory; is it any wonder that New
port News stands today foremost in
the line of march for. industrial su
premacy, material, growth and as
sured development?
The Chesapeake and Ohio Steam
ship Company runs regular lines Of
steamers between this port and
Europe, and the Furness & Witty
Company and the Barber Trans
atlantic Line also dispatch several
steamers from this port to Europe,
not to speak of the numerous
s'tramps" calling here at all times.
The Old Dominion Steamship
Company has daily line of elegant
steamers between this port and New
York, and the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company to Boston,
Providence and Baltimore.
The Atlantic Coast Coaliug Sta
ton al Newport News is constantly
growing more popular as a port OF
call for steamers. The shipment of
coal from this port are about 1,20OO,-
900 tons per annum and gives en-
ployment to some two hundred men.
Being south of the ice line, it is
open to free navigation at ali seasons
of the year, and its geographical
position is so favorable that owners
study their best interests by order
ing their vessels to call at Newport
News for orders when sent out seek
ing. The large wharf used for coal
ing steamers is over 600 feet long,
and it has been found necessary to
erect a second wharf for the exclu-
siye use of sailing vessels, giving
facilities for loading eight vessels at
once. Steamers are served from an
elevated wharf, coal being run into
bunkers through chutes from which
100 tons per hour can be furnished
to each steamer. Electric lights are
used at night, thus insuring dispatch
at all times in bunkering steamers.
The coal furnished at Newport
News is we'll known in the markets
of the world as "New River Steam
Coal" 1t is mined in Fayette county,
West Virginia, and gives universal
satisfaction alike for steam raising,
coke manufacture, and all purposes

After Fifty Years.

The golden wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Milliken of Augusta
was very pleasant occasion. Many
friends and relatives calling on
them at their pleasant home
on Lincoln street, Monday evening, to
congratulate them on their 80 years of
happy, and prosperous married life.
In token of the regard In which they
are held Mr.. and Mrs. Millikep were pre-
sented respectively with cane and pin.
The cane Is Of ebony. mounted with an
elaborate gold head q touching emblem
ct the wishes of all that it may in years
to come help the kindly gentleman along
bis path of life to distance long beyond
his three score and ten. Mr.. Milliken
appreciates the gift, and may we'll be
proud OF 1t. The pin is sunburst of
pearls, prettily arranged in gold. with
big diamond in the centre. While re-
ceiving her guests Mrs. Milliken wore
the present, which certainly was very
becoming.

ATALE OF WOE.
Local Assessors of the Town of Starks
SIX for Relief.

The local tax assessors of the town of
Starks were before the board of State as
SCISSORS. Monday, with,a petition that the
latter have made the valuation ON the
property Of that town too high. They
bring figures to show that the town s
welfare has suffered in recent years from
various causes, not so very recent either,
as this decline has been goin on since
1864.
The people, they say, have found living
there not profitable, and many have left
for more suitable locations. The result
has shown an especially noticeable exo-
dus in the past Is years. III 1881 the
population was about 1000 souls. Now
there are only about 700. They want
TO be relieved, and see if something
can't be done.
For instance, they say there are some 40
abandoned farms in that locality. and for
sheep they only have about 1000 head. all
toid, where once. not long ago, there
were many Hocks grazing pretty much
all around, greatly to the profit of the
farmers. On account Of the location of
Starks they allege situated as 1t Is near
no point on the railroad, Madison and
New Sharon being the nearest shipping
points, their market is handicapped. To
haul hay, for instance, to either, costs So
a ton, which naturally is discoHraglng
In competition with other sections
where distance is uncomfortable to ship
ping depots. The bridges across the
Sandy river give them little access to
points on the other side without going
some distance, up or down, which is also
matter of great inconvenience to them.
The tax assessors for Starks are A. F.
Hilton and II. s. Doyen.

Mr.. REED AT HOME.
He Arrived on a Late Train Monday
Evening.

Speaker Reed and his daughter, Miss
Katherine Reed, arrived Monday evening
On the late train from Boston, and drove
at once to their home on Deering street.
Both returned in excellent health and
spirits although Mr.. Reed has just COM
pleted one OF the most memorable and
Rrduous campaign tours on record. 1t
began in tho middle of October with the
great meeting In Music Hall, Boston.
Thence he went to Bridgeport, Conn.,,
and from there to New York. He spoke
In that State, New Jersey and Delaware.
Thence going west to the great battle
ground he spoke to immense meetings
in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kan
sas. From Kansas he went to California,
where he closed the campaign in series
OF brilliant addresses, to which the news
papers on that coast have ascribed the
credit of turning the State to the Repub-
lioan column. Returning after the cleo
tion by the way of Oregon and Washi ng-
ton he was the recipient of many atten-
tions in those States, as well as at the
Eastern places where he stopped on his
way home.
It was the Intention of the Republicans
OF Portland to give to Mr.. Reed a recep-
tion on his return; but in Difference to
his wishes it was decided to make no
demonstration.
The next session of Congress will be-
gin December 18th, so his stay at home
will be necessarily brief.
