Bic Porker1.

Tuesday was hog killing day and a
big day ut Accomac G. 81. Three or
four hundred people met on that day
to witness the killing of the big pork
ers of Mr.. G.. Lloyd Doughty and
many of them to take q chance at
the guessing box.
The biggest hog weighed sS7
pounds and 2 ounces net and the
smallest one 65S pounds and 10 ounces
net.
In the guessing box 755 ballots
were deposited, six Of them with the
number 1877 on them and two with
8S7t on them and these eight. by

Kellam, R. p. Custis, ]. R. james,

Lee Justice, divided the pool, less 5
per cent, the share of each being
eight dollars and ninety three cents
The tickets of twenty five more OF
the guessers had 1871 on them.
MIR. Doughty hoped to beat the
record with his big hog, but the
following report of the weight OF Mr..
James Mears' hog, published in 1853
in Baltimore paper, shows that he
is still in the lead OF heavy weight
porkers: e
"Mr. James Mears, of Accomac
County. Virginia, slaughtered two
hogs of his own raising on the 9th
inst, whose aggregate weight
amounted to 1921 lbs, the larger
weighing 9OOi and the lesser 629 lbs.
These hogs were % months and days
old We believe that 900 lbs. at IS
months is the biggest pig yet raised.
The growth of the larger by calcula-
ton was at the rate of Id. and OF
u day from birth to death. They
were weighed by 8 respectable gentle
men, selected by persons interested
(for there was some betting as we'll as
curiosity and the above statement
may be implicitly relied on.
May we not brag q little on old
Accomac and MIR. Jimmy Mears?-
There is really no accounting for the
productive power of our dear old
county-always distinguished for
raising great men, pretty girls. line
oysters and big potatoes. She has
now added full cubit to her stature
by having raised the biggest hog in
America.

UPsETUR d. Quincy DEAD.
Hctnkes hia own itTe-

| News was received at Accomac G.
f., bv telephone about noon, on last
Saturday. that Mr.. Upshur 3. Ouinby
had taken his own life. The start
ling announcement first received here
soon spread over the county and was
received everywhere with expressions
of sorrow and deep feeling of loss
to every one who knew him.
It was hard for many people who
had been accustomed to look to him
for counsel and advice to realize that
the report was correct and many
conld not until the fact was recalled,
that for the last three wears he had
been in declining health with no
prospect OF Improvement. He was
not only g physical wreck, but it is
known that his mind was at times
impaired to some ex tent also, and it
fair to presume that he was not in
his right mind when he committed
the deed.
He killed himself with 50 calibre
Smith & Wesson pistol by placing
the muzzle of it under his right ear,
and when found, soon after the re
port WIS heard by two Of his daugh
ters, life was extinct. He shot him
self while seated in front of mirror
aud in room least occupied by him
or his family, after taking the pre-
caution to lock the doors behind him.
Death was doubtless instantaneous
~ he intended it should be.
In the death of Mr. Quinby Acco-
mac loses one Of her most useful and
valuable citizens. No man had
higher sense of honor or a keener
perception Of right in bis dealings
with his fellow men. AS a lawyer he
took high rank for ability and accu-
rate knowledge of his profession in
the thirty years in which he was
member of the Accomac bar. as a
citizen he commanded the esteem OF
all who knew him by his high moral
character and his strict integrity i'll
his dealings with them, as friend
h. was true to all his professions,
and no one was more devoted 10 his
family. Grief at the loss Of his wife,
to whom he was devotedly attached,
who died about IA months ago.
doubtless aggravated his ailments
and had much to do in making him
80 reckless as to take his own life.
Seven children survive him: Thos.
B. Quinby, Onancock. L. d. Teackle
Ouinby. Atlanta, Ga, Mrs. Margaret
Franklin, Mrs Sumpter Smith and
Misses George, Henrietta and Jessie
Quinby
After funeral services over him at
his home on Tuesday, conducted by
Rev w. C. Walden. of the Methodist
church and Rev. J. H. Henderlite OF
the Presbyterian church, his re
mains were inferred in the family
burying ground at his old home in
Upshur's Neck.

Having been in deepest trouble since

the community has lost an honorable

worked up to the office of second ell
gineer, and is ready for further pro
motion. Though he has succeeded
in his undertaking and seen much o
life in that great city and on the sea
vet we would venture a guess that hi
would exchange his lot and dwell
again on snug farm among his ole

choose q rudy smiling, industrious

Ia loving remembrance of little
Freddie Riggs who died January
18th, 1898, aged years, 2 days.
Drop the silken curtains lower,
Darken too that gIariug light,
Let no foot fall break the silence
Little Freddie is dead to night.
Little Freddie we loved go dearly,
Once with lips and cheeks aglow.
Lies with little hands how folded,
Like pink rosebuds on the snow.
Little feet once so warm and restless,
Lies so still and frozen now;
Let me fold my arms about bin,
Leave the last kiss on his brow.
And my heart is yearning, aching,
Bitter are the tears we shed.
While our empty arms are longing.
For our darling little Freddie.
But when life's last dream is over,
And FIN sleeping with the dead,
We will meet to part, Oh, never.
Little bright eyed angel Freddie.
By His Loving Father and Mother.
