all that is claimed for it.
DIR. John w. keilam, of louisville,
has been appointed district deputy
grand master of the Masonic lodges
in Accomac to succeed A. j. McMath,
who has held the position for the
past two years. Mr. McMath was also
appointed by the Grand Lodge, com
mittee of one on Masonic Home and
DR.. Kelam, committee OF one on
propositions.
DR.. George w. LeCato, in a letter
to the Free Lance, under date of 3rd
inst, says, that his appointment by
the last General Assembly as mem
Der of three special committees, which
are to report at the next session, two
of which he is chairman, makes it
possible that the personal interest
thereby engendered may incline him
to ask his constituents for re election
to the State Senate.
The large storehouse at Boggs
Wharf, on PuDgoteague Creek, be-
longing to Mr.. Tully A. Joynes, was
destroyed by fire Tuesday night.
The origin of the fire cannot be ac-
counted for as no one was in the store
at the time and no fire had been
kindled in the store during the day.
The entire stock of goods in store,
belonging to MIR. o. Jennings Kellam,
was also burned. The goods and
storehouse each, we are informed,
were insured for $500.
