MATRIMONIAL SURPRISE.
~ Marriage Which Was Kept Quiet
More Than Month


More Than Month
The Pocahontas Headlight gives the
following account of an interesting mar
rage mt that place, in which the contract
ing parties were both well.know.l former
residents of Lynchburg.
On the evening of December 81. 1896
at the residence of +. Chalmers. on Water
street, Miss Anna II. Langhorne was mar.
ried to Il. S. Curvillc, Rev. j. S. French

the contracting parties, the marriage was
secret affair, with the exception of the
knowledge of four or five friends, until a
little more than week ago rumors he.
gan to give the secret away. However,
the marriage was hot made public from
any authoritive source until this week.
The bride is we'll known in Lynchburg
society, and is the daughter o: Mrs. G.
w. Langhorne. of that city, and Il sister
of our townsman, A. a. Langhorne, with
whom she has been.making her home for
some time The groom is also nm old
L.ynchburger, who came to Pocahontas
about ten years ago, since which time he
has been identified with the business cir.
cles OF our town and Is well known to the
people of this section.
This happy couple was separated Il few
days after the marriage by the bride re.
turning to her Iynchburg hone This
was probably precautiun against pos
slble suspicion of. their secret, but now
that their marriage has been made public
their many friends here will gladly wei
come them as permanent citizens to orr
town and in conjunction with the Head.

prosperous life.

of Presidential inauguration. 1t will,
he thinks, help to give them m idea of the
grandeur and greatness of the country
into whose service they will enter, and
will instill into their minds laud tble
ambition to prove themselves worthy of
all the trusts and responsibilities that
may be imdosed upon them in the line of
their duties in after life. The loss of
time from their studies, to his mind, is
nothing compared to the advantages to be
derived The cadets, no doubt. will take
a similar view of the situation.

HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
A Convention of Fruit Growers to be
Held at Charlottesville

Held at Charlottesville
After consultation with prominent
fruit growers and nurserymen II has been
decided to call horticultural conveu.
tion ut Charlottesville, Va, Tuesday,
March ., 1897, at 10 o'clock Il. m, to con-
tinue at the pleasure of those assembled
The chief reason for calling the conven-
tion is that we may have an opportunity
to lay before those interested the facts
about the spread of the San Jose scale in
the State.
The authorities of the experiment sta
ton have devoted such means as they
could to this investigation under the law
passed at the last session of the legisla-
lure, and have found this insect widely
disseminated over the State III fact,
there is cause for serious alarm in regard
to the future of fruit growing, aud this
has led us to believe that no proper
means should lac left untried to arouse
the people to a realization of the danger
threatening an important industry.
The law under which the inspection of
the State has been made authorizes the
publication of all the facts which may be
ascertained, but in our opinion full pub
LEGATION may do harm to some interests,
but it Is clearly OUR duty to acquaint the
people as fully as possible with the facts.
If this convention appears to accomplish
this purpose full publication of details
may be withheld for the present.
1t is especially desired that all nurse.
rymen AMI fruit growers may be present,
but more particularly those from in
tested districts ought to give attention to
this matter now if they hope to avert the
danger threatenedby this pest
No set programme can he arranged
for such Il meeting, but Prof. VIM b.
Atwood, State inspector under the law,
will report upon the work done To date
Capt.C. Il. Nawter, chairman OF the board
of control, will state the position of the
experiment station authorities upon the
question Of enforcing the law; IL bill deal
ing with the subject nov before thc United
States Congress will he read for the con.
sideration of the meeting, and such fur.
ther matters rs those present desire may
be considered. Full opportunity for dis
cussion will be given.
The place Of meeting will he posted at
the hotels. Weights Hotel will be head

in the interest of bimetallism as frultless

publican party is a bait to catch suckers
with, but it is not probable that they
will bite at it when the hook is so much
longer than the worm that it is visible at
both ends. The only true bimetallism
