Leigh died suddenly at his home in Wash
ton. Mrs. W. +. Leach informed us that
Mr.. Leigh, as was his custom, went out to
brush off the front steps and pavement and
when he had finished returned to the house
and lying down upon lounge said he
"felt sick enough 10 die" Before one of
his daughters, who was in the room, could
reach him he was dead. Mr.. Leigh was
born and raised In St Mary's and for many
years lived in the st. Clements Bay sec.
ton, where he dispensed generous hospi.
taiity. He was well known throughout
the entire county, and nearly all of the
older generation here have some pleasant
recollection of their association with him
His friends aud acquaintance always af.
fectionately spoke of him as Judge Leigh
He was n member of the Commissioners
Court, Democratic candidate for the
House of Delegates in 1871 and wes ap.
pointed by Judges Stone, Crane and
Brooke a member of the Board Of School
Commissioners, position he held until the

Now let rs zee what has been some Of

viii be seen that the village in question
contains quite an unusual lot Of young
men, very large number for o village of

led to follow the example Of older heads

il an old negro man who drives the mil
that makes q regular business of carrying
from one 10 two dozen bottles every day.
and there is q certain merchant at a very
popular wharf not more than six miles
from that place who has in the rear of his
store one Of the best equipped bar-rooms in
the State. All these young men know il
and patronize it, but prefer to keep their
mouths closed. There lives within few
hundred yards Of this store sworn grand

yet if, he is, he is not doing his duty.

Correspondence Of the Reaeon.)

COLONIAL BEACH, Va, Oct 8, 1896.
There is in this historic county Of ours
a we'll known village and county seat, and
to avoid unnecessary personality we will
call it M" Now, the village of NJ. is not
Sodom or GomOrrah, yet IL is far from be-
ing a sainted Paradise There are many
good people who reside in this village and
there are scores not fourth so good as
they would have their neighbors believe.
Yet, as the old aGiage goes. every tub must
stand on its own bottom, but apparently
some tubs have very slender bottoms" and
If the pressure becomes too great they must
yield, or, in other words, :all through.
This will be seen to be the case with some
of the citizens of NJ. This village is q for
mer home of your scribe and is now quite
often visited by him, and being q very
close observer, has in the past few months
been able to get in some very delectable
work, which l now propose to expose for
the public good.
Some six months ago the magis erial
district in which this village of NJ IL stu
ated voted for, and by an overwhelming
majority, carried the district for local op-
tiOn. We thought this was good. Your
correspondent at that time was greatly in
sympathy with the move, but its effects,
which will be shown in due course, has
been Of such disgusting nature that, in
stead Of benefit TO the community, il is q
curse; instead OF being moral benefit, il
has proven q tendency TO disgrace; instead
OF lining up the young men from the mire,
il has drifted them further toward dissipa
ton; instead of benedting the community
/ financially, il has caused the bulk Of trade
TO SEEK other sections, say nothing of reve-
nue. lost to State AID county. / agree that
Prohibition is good thing if il could be q

harrow, roll and reroll until you get 9
fine and firm wheat bed. All agreed with
him.
Mr.. ]. 7. johnson thought there was moi
enough attention paid in preparing cora
land for wheat. Il should be narrowed

corn beds BY more attention farmers
would get better results.
