The Loudoun Mad Stone.

A Leesburg correspondent OF the
Richmond Times says
a small oval. shaped. dark-colored
stone. Of about the size OF silver half
dollar, sold for t6Ss 90 Monday, March
l8, 1899. after due advertisement, in
front Of the court house in Leesburg,
Va.
''Dr. O +. Turner, Of sniokersville,
being the highest bidder, 1t was cried
of to him.
This was the second public sale OF
the mad stone II was first sold at
the January term Of the court to Mrs
Geiman, one OF the heirs of the estate
that owned it, for $500.
But when Judge O. H. Nicol Assem-
bled his court some OF the heirs object
ed to the smallness Of the price. put in
All upset bid. and it was reoffersd
with the above result
HISTORY OF THE STONE
This stone was brought 20 this conn.
try 1875 years ago by = man named
Fred, and IL has been in some branch
Of the Fred family ever since. It's last
owner was a Mrs. Woodward, and her
administrator is Mr.. William f. Lynn
brother OF Mayor Lynn, late superinten-
dent Of the penitentinry. and the sale
was made by the administrator.
1t is claimed that this stone is an
infalhble cure for all bites Of mad dogs
and poisonous reptiles. It is said that
never yet has it missed curing. One
well authenticated case is given where
two people were bitten at the same
time by the same dog One believed in
the efficacy Of the stone. had it applied
and suffered no harm the other did
not believe in it, would not 90 to 1t,
and died in horrible agony from hydro
phobia
People from all the section OF coun
try in Upper Virginia come to the
stone
A RIDE FOR LIFE.
Last summer the little son or nep-
hew Of the judge Of Rappahannock
county was bitten by dog supposed to
have been mad, and as fast a. horses
could bring them the Judge and his
brother, with the little boy, drove to
Loudoun and had the stone applied.
The stone in this case adhered to
the wound nearly twenty -four hours
when it dropped of and there were no
bad effects upon the child from the bite.
while this application was being
made, and before its completion. an
other person from distance, this time
a lady, came to have il applied TO her,
she, too, having been bitten by dog
supposed to be mad.
SURE CURE FOR POISON.
1t is said if there is any poison in
the bite. the stone will certainly adj
here to the wound until the last bit OF
virus is absorbed by it. II there is no
poison it will not adhere.
The stone came from England orig
inally, but its nature and origin are
not known. IL has somewhat the APP
pearance Of a sandstone, butts smoother.
and is evidently somewhat porous
After its application it is placed in
glass Of tepid water. and invariably q
greasy greenish film will arise upon the
top OF the water, varying in thickness
and quantity according to the time the
stone adhered TO the wound.

The Graduating Exercises

Despite the rainy and threatening
weather, goodly number of our peo-
pie went to the opera house, Tuesday
evening, to witness the twentieth an
nual graduating exercises of the Cles-
co High School, which had been post
poned from the Friday previous.
.,As 7Mr. sSeerley could not be present,
Rev. w. X. Lane delivered the address
to the class. 1t was fine scholarly
production, full of thought and we'll
delivered, and the ideas he brought
out, if needed by his hearers, could be
productive of naught but good.
In the absence or DR.. S. G. Buck,
the diplomas were presented to the
class by Rev. O. H. Holmes.
Prof. Ling, in a few words, thanked
the people for their attendance and
announced that next year he would
present another class, smaller in num-
helS but just as good in quality.
The three selections by the Tonolli
orchestra were magnificent renditions
of standard selections, and their per
fOrmance reflected much credit upon
both leader and musicians.
The decorating of the hall was done
by the class OF naughty naught' and
consisted of a neat trimming with the
national colors. and an ornamentation
of the stage with palms and towering
plants while the words BrightLights"
the name applied to the class of 80,
was suspended across the back of the
stage.
