Capt B F. Crockett, OF schooner

The Board of Trade held regular
meeting on Tuesday night. No items
of business of interest to the public
were disposed Of Their committees
are in correspondence with some
business concerns as to very i'm
portant enterprises which are wanted
here and which will be reported here
after
We called attention last year to
the people of the Eastern Shore who
are in positions to accommodate
summer boarders to the fact that
they are not taking advantage of the
situation. Our neighbors of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and across
the bay advertise in the papers for
summer boarders and get them and
make money by it. There are
number of families here who occupy
pretty homes on the water and also
on the farms off of the water who, if
they will be .nterprising in this line,
can secure all of the people they can
accommodate. The reputation of the
Eastern Shore brought applications
for such last season.
The writer had letters recently from
persons who live in other sections
showing their unqualified apprecia-
ton of our goodly land. One was
from q professional gentleman, who
spent while on the Shore last year,
who states that he never had more
enjoyable season and that he expects
TO return to spend the summer.
Another was from a business man,
who has dwelled here for time, who
says that in his extensive travels he
has not found so fair a land and
where good living was so general, aud
further that if the people of the
Eastern Shore would appreciate their
county, they should go across the
water and see how their neighbors
exist" Wa should appreciate the
meaning of such letters.

1t is my sad lot to chronicle the
death of w. L. J. Grimsley, son of
Pastor 8. q. Grimsley, in his twenty
fifth year. William was the younger
sou, and young man of great prom
Use. He was for several years in
business in Richmond, and was max
ing a name for himself. About two
wears ago he had spell of sickness
which lasted him some months, and
left him in very weak condition.
However, he rallied, and struggled
manfully and heroically to regain his
4 health 1t was all in vain. About a
year ago be came home to his parents,
on Chincoteague Island, and on Feb
ruary 21st, he quietly passed from
earth's tolls to heavens rewards: He
was young man of fine character, a
. consistent and worthy member OF the
Grace Street Baptist Church, Rich
mond. May the God of all grace
comfort the bereaved parents, sisters

Raid on Gamblers.

Deputy Marshal Chillingworth raided
the Joss house on Smith street yester-
day afternoon and arrested nineteen
Cinnamon who were taken to the police
where they were registered and
charged with gambling. The Deputy
noticed several Cinnamon enter the
place and decided TO investigate. Up
on entering the house he heard the
rattle of money and chips and conclud-
ed that the Celestials were engaged in
a quiet little game. The door to the
room was locked and the Marshal was
obliged 10 climb up TO hole in the
ceiling and drop TO the inside OF the
room.
The Cinnamon were taken by sur
prise and for a minute did not at
tempt TO escape which allowed the Dep
uty time TO secure some OF the money
and chips which will be used as evil
dence against them when they are in
troduced to Judge Wilcox this morn
ing.
Several of them are old offenders
and are liable 10 be dealt with rather
severely.
