bicycles in the community to make
very pretty showing on such an
occasion. Let us have it some eve
ming soon, accompanied by a brass
band and followed by refreshments
on some pretty lawn.
During the pleasant evenings re-
Gently Main street has been sceLe
of unusual gayety between the hours
of and 8 O'Clock. Many go out bug
gy riding and good number of men,
women and children are spinning to
and fro on their bicycles with lights
on and bells ringing the warning to
clear the track. There's life in the
land yet.
Mr.. ]. Carson Watson, Jr. and wife,
of Danyille, Va, are visiting rel
tives in the county. Mr.. Watson was
married in June to Mrs. Maggie Ly-
les, a charming lady of Danville.
Seven years have elapsed since he
resided IN this town. He has held,
about five years, the position of ac-
countant in the office of J. n. Wylie
s Co., tobacco manufacturers.
Mr.. Carroll Walden and wife, of Tex
as, are visiting here. Mr.. Walden
has been away from the Shore sew
eral years, having left when
a boy. He is now Professor of Latin
and Greek in Southwestern Uniyer
sity, Texas. He married a daughter
of that State. A courteous, cultured
gentleman he is. and meets a warm
reception by his old friends. Besides
being versed in ancient lore, he has
the gift of the harmony of sweet
sounds. The organ under his touch
responds to the soul akin to his.
MI. Bernhard Gutmann, of Lynch
burg. Va, the artist who is visiting
our county, is pleased with his work
here, having found many objects
that are really picturesque, which he
has reproduced with pencil or brush.
His work thus far has been chiefly
on our seaside water front. The
great contrast between our water
scenes and our low, flat, smooth
country, and the great rugged bills
at his home, gives him pleasing
variety. He will have also in his
collection some pencil sketches of
Eastern Shore campmeeting life as
seen at the burlington grove camp.
We feel complimented by his long
visit and appreciate the work of his
brush. An invitation is extended to
him to spend time in our town.
