Catarrh is one Of the most obstinate

TO get rid Of
There is but one way to cure It.
The disease Is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for 1t is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force 1t from the blood.

the ceureiernse MONUMENT.

The Executive Committee of Har~
manson, West Camp met at Parksley
on Friday of last week, and in secret
session, selected Parksley as the site
for the monument.
What transpired behind the closed
doors. of course, is not known to US,
as our inquiry for light in the matter
from one of the committee was met
with the answer, that they had
agreed not to tell. The following,
gathered from various sources, how
ever, may be accepted we believe, as
reasonably authentic:
That four members of the commit
tee were present and that of the votes
cast, either in person or by proxy,
three voted for Parksley as the site
for the monument, two for Accomac
G. H. and one for Eastville, one mem
Der being absent and not represented
by proxy-and mirabile dictu, that it
was further agreed, that the vote OF
the committee was final and not sub
ject to ratification by the Camp, as
previously announced in meeting
of the committee it would be.
The motives which actuated the
committee in their secret meeting, of
course, is not known to us, but it has
been intimated to us by one of the
committee, that Parksley would
pledge more for the comp elton of the
monument than any other place. In
other words about $4,000 was needed
for the purpose ard the meeting
being held at Parksley the citizens of
that town, of course, were in q better
position to pledge the necessary funds
and secured the site.
On the other hand, the citizens Of
Accomac G. H., being advised by the
Camp that $3.50 90 was needed, sent a
petition to the Camp signed by thirty
of its citizens, pledging themselves to
make good any deficiency to that
amount which was not raised at the
dedication and unwilling of the mon
ument. In addition to this, General
NJ. w. West, who was present on the
day of the meeting, offered to give
$50 90 more to meet any deficiency
which might occur if the Courthouse
was selected as the site-and DR.. j.
H. Ayres and MIR. A. j. Lilliston, who
were also present, assured the com-
mittee there could be no question
that the people of the Courthouse
would see that the necessary money
was raised.
The columns of the ENTERPRISES
are open TO any statement which the
committee has to make in the matter
and we will cheerfully correct any
error which appears in the report of
the proceedings of the committee
submitted by us.

By her granddaughter,
MAMIE A. TRADER.

On the Goth of April, 1899, the in
habitants of Hog Island were again
reminded of the frailty of human life.
The precious spirit of little Bessie,
the only daughter of Shepard and
Mamie Doughty went home to God.
The saying never had truer mean
ing than here death loves a shining
mark Her life impressed us as a
beautiful bud, just opening it's tender
petals to the morning of spring and
emitting it's aromatic perfume to be
waited by playing zephyrs through
the ways and walks of some delight
full garden. Even when the acutest
suffering was eXtorting from her every
sense of ease and the very shadows
of death were gathering about her
little bed, she manifested but lit
tie anxiety and seemed to posses
every virtue OF patience. Her funeral
was conducted by Mr.. G. F. Taylor,
the superintendent of the Methodist
Sunday school of which she was a
member. Four little boys, near her
age, were pall-bearers; while the rest
of the school followed in body and
with flowers and tears celebrated the
burial of their little friend whose
eyes had grown CLASSY with the film
of that last sleep. would say for
the consolation of those who mourn;
There is no death, the stars go down
To rise AGAIN upon some fairer shore
Bright in Heavens jeweled crown,
They shine forever more.

Luwressness ,n Upper Accomac,

For several months the people of
upper Accomac have been harassed
weekly by depredations upon their
property and by the loss of their
hogs, cattle and other things. That
they are determined that the lawless-
ness shall be checked no one will
question who was present at Horn
town last Saturday. On that day
four to five hundred people were
present to hear the case of the Com
monwealth VS.. Samuel Matthews,
charged with the larceny of six hogs
of MIR. Sheppard Tindall and his SOD,
near Atlantic, and it was evident to
those who mingled with the throng
that many of them were not there
for curiosity.
The case was heard by Justices
Wilson, Taylor and Hutchinson and
the Commonwealth was represented
by Mr. B. T. Gunter, attorney for the
Comm onwealth, assisted by Messrs.
N. B. Wescott and John s. Par
sons. Mr.. James H. Fletcher, Jr.,
represented the defense. Matthews
was convicted on both warrants and
sentenced to 10 months confinement
in the county Jail. An appeal was
taken from their decision to the
county court. During last week also
hogs were stolen from several other
parties and the throat of horse be-
longing to colored man was cut in
the same neighborhood. The gang
consists, it is stated, of some
three or four persons and vigilant
efforts will be made to bring them all
to trial.

IOF VhSEUSES.
The following letter from the Gov
ernor of Virginia 90 the Governor of
Maryland was given to the public
through the Maryland newspapers on
Tuesday:
Dear Sir-Referring to our cores
pondence as to the release and de-
livery of the prisoners confined in
the Jail Of Accomac county upon the
charge of felonious dredging, and the
surrender of the boats, the Water
Lily and Minnie Estelle, beg to ac-
centuate my regrets at the delay
which has ensued in consummating
the views so pleasantly and satisfac-
torily reached by us. This delay,
however, has been caused by the
failure of the Commemorative At
torney and Judge of said county to
accede to my request. But inasmuch,
as anu in receipt of letter from the
Commonwealth Attorney, advising
me that he has dismissed the cases
pending against said persons, and
that their discharge from imprison-
ment has been effected, l apprehend
your wishes will be met upon my
directing that the two vessels be at
once delivered to your agent, which
l have this day accordingly done as
per letters, copies of which are here
enclosed.
L should add that the common
wealth's attorney ADVISES me that the
cases in question were dismissed be-
cause he thought it unadvisable to
prosecute these offenders, who were
the employees of the masters of the
vessels, and who were, perhaps, only
.-cilrically guilty. In accordance
with your suggestions as TO the rendi
ti.n al This class of offenders, beg
to rncluse requisition-papers for
Jal.ns EvaLs, Archie Marsh, Jesse
Aarsli and Peter Marshall. These
persons are regarded by the common
wealth's attorney as the chief offend
ers, and / will be deeply gratifi"d to
have the active cooperation of your
Excelency in the arrest and rendi-
tion Of said alleged offenders. Again
expressing my regret at the delay of
this reply, and assuring you of my
appreciation of your willingness to
CO. cooperate in trying to establish a
plan for the prevention of further
depredations and annoyance to the
citizens of our respective states, l am,
