ENGLAND'S SPINSTERS.
Many of Our Lady Cousins Across the
Pond Live in Single
DlessedneEs.

The number of single women in Eng
land constantly increases. Many thou
sands Of women have 10 earn their own
't''?T III place of spending and hus-
a;."s3S the earnings OF men. They
@sa their time in an incomplete and
separate existence of their own, in
stead Of completing and embellishing
2hc existence Of others. From the eX.
less in the number of women, thou
aaEds take service in factories, while
others overcrowd the ill-paid ranks of
needlcwomen and seamstresses.
Even in the richer classes, says Lon
don exchange, there is the same in
equality of numbers, and those who are
relieved from the necessity of working
for their daily bread have yet to seek
some occupation, some interest in life,
TO relieve the tedium of an objectless
existence. Some pursue pleasure mere
~, though this soon pals upon the ap-
petite; others take to charitable pur-
suits, doing, perchance, an equal
amount Of good and mischief. Those
whose tastes lead them to literary or
":iistic pursuits are perhaps the least
unhappy.
That redundancy of unmarried
women exists is evident, but it must
not be regarded as caused wholly or
mainly by disparity in the number of
the sexes. This difference does not, at
the most, amount to six per cent;
whereas, the number of unmarried
women in England amounts not to six,
but actually TO 80 per cent--that is to
say, only two out Of every three wom-
en- are ever married.

SECTIONAL FEELING.
The Old Man WOuldn't Ride In tho
Same Car with Such n Eel.
lows Funeral Wreath.

The other day an east-bound car was
just turning on to Erie street when a
natty young colaed man climbed
aboard, bearing proudly before him a
wreath of red and white roses. ltwas
beautiful thing and huge in its dimen-
sions, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
He laid il tenderly down across the
front seats anC. sat beside it, facing the
other people III the car. An old gentle
man sitting one seat back, who had
been watching the performance with
much interest, suddenly leaned for
ward.
THAT wreath from Blank's?" he
questioned.
"Umph."
Thought so. Funeral"
"Umph.'
"Ye're mighty proud of it, ain't
YEP"
The colored man looked a trif1e sur
prised, but admitted that he was.
Which admission seemed to rouse the
old gentleman to wrath
II know where that wreath's goin',"
he announced to the other passengers;
its goin' up to John Dash's, and he
ought to be ashamed of himself, too,
gettin' flowers from a downtown for
ist. We've got plenty of good forists's
out n East Cleveland. He amt any
more respectable dead n he was alive,
John Dash amt and won't even ride to
the car with his funeral wreath"
With which remark the protector of
East end merchants actually climbed
laboriously out of the car, leaving the
other passengers in n high state OF
glee, and the colored boy so astonished
he couldn't get his mouth properly shut
for four whole blocks.

How Williamsburg can Secure Such
an Industry.

Cincinnati, o, May 8, 'S9.
To THE GAZETTE
/ had an interview in Cincin-
natl with Mr.. &. h. Ryan, As
siStant-General Passenger Agent
Of the G. x .. railway, in re
gard TO Williamsburg and the
surrounding counties. Mr.. Ry-
an is deeply interested in our
people, our welfare and future
prosperity, and occupying the
position that he does, is 50 sit
usted as to be able 10 make his
influence felt
Mr.. Ryan i very much inter
ested in the beet sugar culture
and stated that the United
states Secretary of Agriculture
had told him that Virginia
grown beets ID 4de the best anal.
ysis OF any state in the Union,
IN view OF this fact he wants to
see a sugar refinery located al
Williamsburg.
II the farmers OF James City
and York will contract 10 cult
vate al least 5000 acres o. Ueets
Mr.. Ryan states that there will
oe no trouble 10 get the refinery
- he has a party ready TO 70
into the enterprise.
Now, ii seems 10 me, this
would be a great and lastiu.
good for our farmers, The
crop will oe profitable ON
and the culture l. simple and
easy. II they are anxious 10
see such an industry located,
and will write u me stating
how many acres they coulC
plant If the prices offered them
are satisfactory l will pusl
the matter. and / have not thr
slightest doubt but that within
twelve months We viii have d
refinery. and that mems a bie
thing tor the farmers, for labor
ers, and for Williamsburg ano
its people.
l sorsot to state that an ex
/ perienc4d man in the culture OF
the beet Will De among the
T farmers 20 give them instruct
ions the first year, therefore n
experience in the culture o.
this crop is necessary.
1 hope that every farmer vii
respond 10 this by postal car,
AT ONCE, or call 10 see me per

New Firm.

BY mutual consent the druggist
firm Of Kennedy & Duerson has
been dissolved, Mr.. F. c. Duer-
son having purchased the interest
Of Mr.. Jas. Kennedy.
Only few years ago Mr.. Frank
Duerson was known as a
newsboy. The publication he sold
most was the Enquirer, and this
he still has charge Of In addition
to this work he gave attention to
drugs. By application and study
he was soon able to enter a school
of pharmacy, and after two years
study he returned a graduate in
his profession. Here he continued
as druggist to the present time,
save an interim 'at Midway. By
attentiveness to business and econ
omy, his savings amounted to suf-
fcient to start him in business. He
bought half interest in Mr.. las.
Kennedy's drug store of Paris, re-
moved it to Mt. Sterling, and
added largely to it in its present
location on Court street, Mr..
Duerson is competent, pains
taking graduate druggist. He is
attentive to business, and we see
no reason why he cannot continue
to add to his earnings with each
succeeding year. He has en-
ployed Mr.. William Duty. who
can be seen at this store ready and
anxious to serve the public.
We do not know of Mr.. Ken
nedy's purposes. Several prop
ositions are before him, but he
will not enter any business for
while.

Tabor Bros, of Rothwell, KY.
have bought the stock of Penix &
Son at McCausey, Menefee county.
Mr.. Sam Tabor will have charge of
the McCausey store. Russell Ia
Dor returned from Cincinnati last
week, where he had been making
some very extensive purchases for
the various stores of Tabor Bros.
A big business this firm is doing,
and every dollar of patronage they
receive is merited. These firms
buy in large quantities for cash,
have light expenses aud hence can
offer inducements. The firm at
McClausey will be known as Sam
Tabor & Co. Mr.. Penix will re-
turn to Olympia and devote all his
time to his business there.

BUSTED,

Another firm goes to the wall.
This time it is the Dunlap-Bareti
Saddlery Company, Louisville;
SIS, 900 is the amount. Cause,
NOT able to rally from the backset
received during those hard times
of which Republicans speak, and
concerning which they delight to
say they have pulled the people
through with SO little damage.
This company would have gotten
through if there had been more
business; and there would have
been more business if the people
had more money, and there would
have been more money if silver
was being coined on the same ba.
sis as gold.
The same old destroyer it was
that sent these people to the
wall-gold standard, high money
and low products.

1t is time the people were look
ing about for candidates for the
county offices. Heretofore few
men have named them; not so
now. The people, the business
men, those who till their lands.
work at their trades and in their
professions, will from this time on
name the candidates, and they
will be from the honest, moral,
competent industrious class.
Those fello VS. who have been put
ting in their time loafng, discuss
ing politics (of which they know
nothng) and are out for an easy
job, will get left.

Last week our people were
startled at the report then circu'
lated. 1t was this: Some of our
very best citizens had been indict-
ed for gambling. We do not give
names, for the reason we cannot
believe the reports. If, however,
it should turn out to be true, while
we would sympathize with those
who must share the humility Of
the guilty, it is right tor those
high in position and society to be
subjected to the strict obeyance OF
the law the same as the more
humble and the ignorant. For
the latter there NAV be eXtenuat-
ing circumstances, but the former
have had all the advantages Of
home and church training, and to
make an example of them now
may save them from the more Sc
rious offenses, They know better.
