To the Editor OF the DIspatcG:
Since my last writing the grip has
visited this section and many Of our
people have been annoyed with its
grapple.
Mr.. II. J. Burgess met with q bad
accident a few days ago. He was
chopping and the ak slipped and cut
his foot very painful. Mr.. billiard
Hall had the same misfortune.
Mr.. A. B. Qua.tlebaum has been
appointed postmaster at Steadman's,
Mr.. Wardlaw Kneece and his son
in-law, MIR. John Bailey Of Swansea,
have purchased a large tract of the
Merritt real estate, near this place,
and is now moving on it.
Mr.. ". L.. Q1attlebaum, one OF
Steadman's industrious citizens, has
purchased a turpentine still and is
putting it up at that place.

We recently had the pleasure o

We recently had the pleasure OF
visiting every section Of the county,
and we're agreeable surprised to note
the many improvements which have
been made in every community.
Those doubling Thomases who pirate
about Lexington being at a stand
still and the sluggish stream OF IN
activity is the only thing which
makes this county CONSPICUOUS, should
hush their mounful tune and take a
trip over the county and see what
has been accomplished along the line
of progress during the past year,
and we are satisfied that they will
return amazed and wonder struck
at the changed condition for the bet
ter that a year has wrought. 1t is
true that the now monotonous cry OF
hard times is still heard, but there
are calamity howIers in every con
munity who wilfully shut their eyes
to every Improvement and have them
wide open only to the dark side of
the picture, yet the fact remains that
our people are better off now than
at eny period in their history. Many
have seen the folly Of depending
upon all cotton as a means Of support,
and the eyes of many others are be-
ing opened, while all are heartily
tired of continuing system which al
lows the Spectator to gamble: in the
product of their labor, and are turn
ing their attention more and more
to diversity of crops and the conse-
quence is, full barns and plenty of
hog and hominy.- In many places
the lands have been greatly improved
and premises have the appearances
of being the property Of happy, coz
tented and well to do people. Small
grain has been largely sown and vas
in fine condition. It is really sur
prising to one unacquainted with the
state of affairs how much small grain
has been sown in this comfy and
amount yet to be sown. Only a trip
over the county can convey any true
idea. Interest in the educational al
fairs of the county has been awak-
ened and the schools are we'll at
tended. We met with a hearty re-
cep,ion and found wide open doors
wherever we went, for which We are
indeed thankful. May our people con-
tinue to prosper until each and every
one shall become m%illionaires.

Apparently there is a cut and
dried effort on the part OF high Ii
cense advocates and anti dispensary
forces to oyel flow the General Assem-
bly, with measures claiming to be a
solution of the whisky problem. This
influx Of bills is only an effort, as We
see it, to scatter the dispensary forces
and win q victory for high license.
If the prohibitionists really want to
accomplish some good they will cease
chasing the shadow for the sub,
stance and direct their eff ,rts in the
only channel in which there is any
hope. If they would expend one
half of the energy in improving the
dispensary system and seeing that its
restrictions are enforced, as they
have in fighting the system they
would soon see a vast falling off in
the use of whisky.

Happy Event.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Married, Wednesday, January 25,
1899, at the residence of the brides
mother, Mrs. Msry' NJ. Gable, by
Rsv. IA Cromer, Mr.. f. ". Shull
to Miss Nettie A. Gable.
This was a quiet but beautiful
home wedding, in which manliness
and beauty were united by the
golden bands of love and happiness.
At the appointed hour the parlor be-
gan to fill with the immediate rela-
tives of the bride and groom who
had been invited to witness the
pleasing ceremony.
The wedding march was beauti-
fully rendered by Maj. J. H. koon.
He is a skillful musician and the
march was grand. By this time the
attendants took their places by couples
as follows: Sheriff T. H. Caughman
with Miss Lizzie Shull, Mr.. ". A.
Shnli with Miss Ella Gregory, Mr..
J. P. Sharp with Miss Alice Fulmer,
and Mr.. W. H Caughman with Miss
Mary Shull.
The bridal couple then took their
position, and were made man and
wife. The fair bride was handsomely
arrayed in a lovely dress Of white
organdie heavily trim med in satin
ribbon and lace, and beautiful at all
times, but surprisingly so on this
occasion. The bridesmaids were
dressed similar to the bride. After
several weeks illness, the groom was
looking as handsome as ever, and him

aud he and the groomsmen were neat
" attired suitable for the occasion. A
more beautiful bevy of maidens and
handsome set of groomsmen could
never be found. After the many
congratulations, which were extended
to the happy couple by all that were
present, all went forth to partake OF
the marriage feast. The table was
beautiful, the dinner elegant and
grand. The bridal gifts were nu-
merous, handsome and costly. l
must make special mention OF two of
the presents, a lovely gold watch and
chain, and a beautiful horse.
Miss Nettie Gable is M Of Lex
ington's most beautiful and accom-
plished young ladies and Mr.. Shull
is one of New Brookland's leading
merchants, and a popular, prosper
our and genial gentleman. He has
handsomely fitted up a beautiful
home, in the heart Of the business
town of New Brookland, for the future
residence of himself and his lovely
bride. May happiness and pros
perity attend them in all their IN
dertakings, and their journey adown
the stream of life be filed with
pleasantness and peace, is the wish
of the writer. = l..

purpose for which they were de-

The Teachers Association.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The regular meeting of this organ
ization was held at the Institute, jan
uary 81, 1899.
The program was not completed
on account of the absence of some of
the speakers.
Prof. O. D. Seay responded to the
subject, "What are the Relations of
School Studies to moral Trainipg?"
He showed that it is generally con-
coded that there is a relation. He
showed that reading bears a d.
rect relation to moral training
The teacher should advise the
pupils what to read. Select such
books as will teach Moral lessons.
The study of geography, especially
physical geography, teaches that the
natural elements of the earth and
the surrounding atmosphere were de-
signed by a creator for a special pur-
pose.
Mathematics teaches exact science.
Here again we apply the divine les
son Of exact design.
History furnishes examples Of
great characters whose brilliant ca
reers were nausht when applied to
the moral individuality of the men
whose lives were not based on the
laws of morality. Contrast the in
fence of such men with the lives of
Washington, Lee and others whose
lives were patterns Of morality. 1t
was his opinion that the moral pre-
cepts of the Bible should be taught
in the schools.
Again the study of physiology
teaches that God made all things for

HAMPTON NEWS AND ADVERTISEMENTS

Company, which operates 4 line of
steamers carrying both passengers and
freight from this port and Norfolk to
New York. stated last night that the
action Of Norfolk, in establishing such
a rigid quarantine against Newport
News. had practically suspended all
the company's business here
The vessels. after leaving this port
for the northern metropolis. stop at
Norfolk, and on their return trips they
also discharge cargo and passengers at
the city across the Roads before coming
here. OF course. now no ships come
here at all, as they cannot later go to
Norfolk.
Freight to this city goes back to New
York without being discharged, ana
passengers are put off at Norfolk
Through freight from the North for
Western points is taken from the ships
at Norfolk and sent to Richmond on
smaller steamers to connect With the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
OF course this all costs the company
great amount of money. by rehand-
ling, and some measure will proba bly,
be adopted at once. by the officials at
New York. to better the conditions
There is one plan by which this can be
accomplished, and Mr. Landon seems
to think it will be attempted
The company can establish a new and
separate line of steamers direct from
New York to Newport News. There are
enough vessels in the companys fleet
to do this. and the quarantine at Nor
folk would be thereby avoided The
steamers would carry the through
freight from the North for Western
points direct to this city and goods go
ing the other way would be returned
with the steamer which would pass
Norfolk both going and coming.
whether the company would also un-
dertake to carry passengers from New
port News or not cannot be ascertain
ed. 1t is understood that there is an in
cllnation on the part of the New York
health authorities not to allow people
from this city to enter the metropolis.
but whether they would simply be ex-
amined before being landed or kept out
altogether, cannot be stated.

Norfolk quarantined against Newport

has been seriously suggested that there
Is much more reason for this city quar-
antinng against Norfolk. Ut may not
be known. but it is a fact that there are
at this moment several of the inmates
OF the Home in Norfolk. 1t is also
fact that on last Thursday an excur-
sion of four hundred negroes came over
from Norfolk and visited the Soldiers
Iome, spending the day within the en-
closure minging with the inmates.
That is how closely Norfolk has come
into contact with the Home-much clos
er than Newport News has
Thus it is seen that this city has even
more cause to quarantine against Nor
folk than Norfolk has for quarantininc
against Newport News. THE matter is
simply mentioned incidentally with a
view TO throwing some light on the
eternal unfitness Of things.
