Lieut.. Carter Johnston finds himself.
Tie statement is that Lieut.. Johnston

Sent On to Grand Jury.

Harry Fisher, Of Spring Hill, who was
arrested some time ago for opening a
letter delivered to him by Mrs. Ewing,
the deputy postmaster, and taking
here from some money, was up again
before Judge Kirby last week and a
large number of witnesses were present.
On concluding the evidence the United
StatesC commissioner decided to send the
accused on to answer before the grand
jury, and the witnesses were also rec
ognized to appear. The bail was fixed
at $3.50 which was promptly given.
The case in brief is as follows: Some
time ago letter for Mrs. BERTHE Sheets
was called out as the mail was being
opened at the Long Glade Postoffice,
and it is claimed that Young Fisher
took it saying he would deliver it..
Sometime afterward Mrs Sheets called
for letter and was told it had been
given to Fisher A few days thereafter
a letter was dropped in the postoffice
for Mrs. Sheets purporting to be from
her husband but without a stamp. Mrs.
Sheets was notified and she furnished q
stamp, and on opening the letter found
ten dollar bill therein. The young
man accused has borne an excellent
character and is well connected. Chas.
Curry appeared for the accused.

Wanted-Men!

An exchange has the following, which
we reprint because such need is so ap-
parent to every thinking person:
The great want of the age is men
men who are not for sale; men who are
honest, sound from centre to circum-
ference, true to the hearts core, men
who will condemn wrong in friend OF
foe, in themselves as well as others ;
men whose consciences are as steady as
the needle to the pole men who will
stand for the right though the heavens
totter and the earth reels men who can
tell the truth and look the devil right in
the eye; men who neither flag nor
finch men who have courage without
shouting men in whom the currents of
everlasting life run still, deep and
strong men who do not cry nor cause
their voices to be heard on the streets,
but who will not fail nor be discouraged
till judgment be set in the earth; men
who know their message and tell it
men who know their places and fill them
men who will not lie men who are not
too lazy to work nor too proud to be
poor men who are willing to eat what
they have earned, and wear what they
have paid for.

''Rhea made great speech and was
at his best. Walkers record was r:dd-

head and made himself ridiculous sew

joinder was well received and loudly ap
plauded. Walker made poor rejoind-

We. |. Session Begun.

The Virginia Female Institute began
its session of 1889 Thursday under
most flattering auspices. There are
many young ladies, who were students
of former years, amongst the matricul
ants, and many who have come for the
first time to begin their course of study
there. All come to find more COM
modious institution, as large acquis-
ition to the buildings has been made
since the close of the last session, and
the facilities of the school greatly in
creased. The corps of teachers is ex-
ceptionally fine, and the principal a
lady whose influence is particularly
elevating and refining.
They are peculiarly fortunate whose
lives have fallen in these pleasant
places, and who find themselves in
such an environment.

A WOMAN IN 1T.
The Richey Mystery at Last
Cleared Up.

Woodstock, Va, Sept. 1.-THE dis
appearance of T. B. Richey, the former
merchant of this place, who disappeared
from the Howard House, in Washing.
ton, on the night of August 23rd., which
has mistified his friends here and the
police at Washington since that time,
Was wholly cleared up today. The facts as
ascertained indicate that beyond a
doubt, Mr.. Richey had become enam
CURED with a young woman, with whom
he made every arrangement before he
left, for her to follow and meet him,
and forever leave these parts.
The arrangements of the pair, how
ever. failed to mature as intended, and
the meeting which was to have taken
place this morning was not had. The
place set for the meeting is known to the
family of the absent man, but they
would not give it to your correspondent,
as they do not care to give all the facts
connected with the case, adding that
the public should be satisfied with a
bare statement of facts without going
into detail.
1t will be remembered that Richey
spent ten days at Manhattan Beach, n.
Y, with his wife and her brother and
sister, and while there bought large
bill of goods for his stores here (Which
has since been cancelled). and that he
left for home, complaining of not feel
ing we'll. His wife wanted to return
with him, but he would not hear to it.
| but returned alone. 1t is now evident
that he never intended to return to
Woodstock, and that he had been pre-.
pairing his business for months to this
| end. He accumulated all the money be
could, allowing his bills to run, and
placing the daily receipts of the store or
deposit. This he took with him. Since
the appointment OF the receiver by the
Circuit Court indebtedness amounting
to five or six thousand dollars has been
reported, but 1t is believed that he in
tended to leave enough here to settle
everything outstanding dollar for dol
lar.

the purpose of making further arrange
ments towards the success of the ex-
hibit it is proposed to give here some
time next month. 1t was agreed to Or

though the dates were not agreed upon.
A committee consisting Of Ernest

every reason to believe that this move
ment will result in much good.

A Loyal Subject on the War.

Stonewall, Sept. 14.-The war being
ended, quiet prevails in this village and
vicinity. The only query is: How those
editors who were urging on the war and
swearing that if it was not brought on
aG once, the tropical climate of those
islands would destroy more lives than
the powers of Spain, can now hold the
administration responsible for what
they predicted would be the result ? 1t
may be possible that if the war had be-
gun six months sooner, the mortality
would not have been so great; but this
does not change the prophecy of those
cording to Their own wisdom it is the
locality, OF have they had another reve
lation which thwarts all their former
knowledge.
1t may be true, and NO doubt is, that
the commander of the army and navy
made many mistakes in appointing as
his subordinates, dudes who were the
sons of favorites to high positions, re-
gardless to their qualification. The
experienced soldier was overlooked to
give place to the coming politician.
Such men as Anthony Wayne, the
tanner; Israel Putnam, the farmer;
Daniel Morgan, the rustic backwoods-
man of Pennsylvania, were all passed
by to give place to those who carried a
diploma in their pocket, regardless OF
the amount of brains in their heads
This accounts for much that is firing
the mind OF editors. Time will rectify
mistakes and the administration will
acquit itself with honor.
But why the war at all
In the opinion of your correspondent
| it was useless and uncalled for, every
advantage the Gubans will ever get
could have been gotten for one tenth
of the treasure, and without the
shedding of one drop of blood. Up to
the present time it has cost the United
States upwards of seven hundred mil
lion dollars, and thousands of lives. 1t
is true that on the battle field our loss
was not great, but, as had been predict
ed, disease of that tropical region has
destroyed, and is destroying, it's thou
sands, and when will the end come (
Life will continue to ebb away as long
as troops are kept there. The pension
list will soon be added to the expense,
and what could have been done by COM
promise at the start, will end 10 MANY
more hundreds of millions Of dollars
being spent.
But thus it is, and as a loyal subject
of my country I am willing to acquiesce,
hoping that she may ever be right, "but
right or wrong, my country"

Mob Law In Patrick.

A special from Stuart, Patrick coun-
ty, says: News has just reached here
of another lynching that occurred yes
terday in this county, within about a
mile from the scene of the Wallis lynch
ing.
The victim this time was young
white man named Lee Pickett, who a
year or so ago was discharged from a
prosecution for HOUSEKEEPING upon
the plea of lunacy. He was sent to an
insane asylum, but escaped in a short
time, and has since been going at large
1t seems from the rather meagre re-
ports, that on Saturday last he made a
criminal assault upon Miss Phebe Gates
a respectable and accomplished young
lady, living near Friends Mission Post
office. in this county, but was prevented
by her cries and struggles from affect
ing his purpose. He was pursued and
brought before G. 7. Mcmillan, a
justice of the peace, for trial.
While the trial was in progress he
| was taken from the custody of the de-
putty sheriff by a mob, carried short
distance, and shot to death. 1t was all
done in the day time and no attem pit
was made at concealment.
The names of the participants are
we'll known. No arress have been made
as yet.
The public sentiment in this county
strongly approves of the action of the
mob.
