Mount Holly Artist Honored.

Mount Holly has young lady artist OF no
ordinary ability. She is Miss Bessie Pease,
daughter OF Horace c. Pease, of Bralnard
street. When attending school Miss Peasr
developed a talent painting ana drawing
that gave promise of valuable development
later, and it was carefully cultured. For some
time past Mis- PeGse has been furnishing de-
signs for the covers of a ladies' magazine
which productions have been greatly admired
and praised. -
This week the people OF Atlanta, Ca, will
have a peace Jubilee. The ladies OF that city
will give a banquet to the ladies OF president
McKinley's party who will be present. The
Atlanti ladies desired souvenir badge to be
nIaced at each plate, and they invited designs
Miss Pease was one of those who answered the
request The badges were to consist OF Q
painted medallion head and IL was desired To
have each one represent some person connect
ed with the history OF the country, but as II
wouId REQUIRE so this was abandoned and the
artists were asked to present original designs
Those of Miss Pense were accepted ana she
waa directed to send them nj once. An idef
of " hat this meant may be gained when IL II
known that the order was received on Thnrs
day and the badges must necessarily leave
hare on Monday. The contract Was falthtuilS
carried out, however, and the souvenirs lei
nv the early mail yesterday. The badges were
beauties Eirch head was OF dlnerent desigr
PAINTED on a circ.slgr piece of cardboard an6
attached to q ribbon either red. white or blu,
in color The young lady is certainly entitled
IN great credit foi her SUCCESS In securing thii
honor She has already reeeived one message

For some time, by published reports, it has
appeared that the township of Medford was in

of Sl39. This is not so. Examination of the

The committee was about to adjourn
when Mr.. Perkins suggested that they
all take ride over the road from Borden
town to Fieldsboro. This part of the road
had not been in operation and the propo-
sition of Mr.. Perkins was a very shrewd
dodge, the object being to get car run
over the route with the committee on
board, then it would be very easy to say
that the committee had sanctioned the
act, but Messrs. Sharp and Tallman were
wide awake and refused to accept the in
vitation. Mr.. Durell, however, wanted
to ride, so he made motion that the com
pany be allowed to run car over the
route. A vote was taken and resulted as
follows; Ayes-Higgins, Durell. Nays
Sharp, Tallman, Woodward This did
not dismay the trolley men, and they
calmly announced that they intended to
run the car anyhow, and they did it later
on. The committee adjourned and the
matter will now rest until Thursday of
next week, when the special meeting of
the Board will be held.

THE ELECTION.
The Probable Result in Virginia on
tuesday Next.
A REVIEW OF EACH DISTRICT.
One Republican. Seven Democrats and
Two Contested Seats win Probably
BE the Conclusion of the Mat
ter-City's Voting Places.
A REVIEW OF EACH DISTRICT

Next Tuesday. November stu, ten Con-
gressmcn are 70 he elected from this
State and. generally spcaking' the election
will probably be one Of the qnictest ever
held in Virginia.
In This district uhe Third, there IS
scarcely a ripple Of excitement TO be OBJ
served. so certain is 10 that the Demo
cratic nominee Will be elected by very
large majority.
The Republicans in tho Third have
killed any chance which they might have
had by the split in their ranks. The
chances seem TO be that Colonel Otis II.
Russell will poll "a larger vote than Mr..
j.. Il. wcisiger. Manchester's postmaster,
who was put up by the other wing.
REPUBLICAN CLAIMS.
Tho Republican leaders are claiming
the election OF three certainly, ind pos
slbiy four, OF their candidates. The dis
trlcts they say they are going TO carry
are the Fourth. Fifth Ninth and Tenth,
represented by r. y. Thorp. Edmund
Parr. James A. Walker and II. 4. Hub
bard.
A careful review of the situation,
however. from non-partisan stand
point. seems TO justify the following pre-
diction.
General James A. Walker viii be re-
elected In the Ninth.
judge j. NJ Quarles will be elected
in the Tenth. though there IS little doubt
that the contest will be close enough
10 warrant the belief that contest
will follow.
In the Fourth and Firth history will
repeat itself 10 certain extent Messrs.
Sidney =. Epes and Claude a. Swanson
Will receive certificates Of election and
their seats will be contested by Messrs
Thorn and Parr The result OF the con-
test is. Of course, speculation.
