TIMBER RIDGE,
December 11tb.

The drought continues, but with
some showing for falling weather soon.
l am unable to call to memory time
when at this season, the heavens seemed
so much like brass over our heads and
the earth rs iron under our feet. DriY-
ing on our clay roads, seems very much
like going on solid rock.
The burning of the store-house and
mel chsndise Of Messrs Wilmore and
Sheltman at Cornwall on Saturday last
excites sympathy on the part OF all
who know them. Mr. Sheltmon who
lived above the store lost all Of his
household effects with the exception Of
two beds and the apparel in use at the
time. 1t is to be hoped that the sym
patty of their friends will take practi-
cal shape. I have heard that they were
entirely without insurance, Another
important lesson to all who take such
risk.
Rev. j. A. Thompson has been right
sick for ten days. but seems now to
have taken a turn for rapid improve
ment.
kev. Mr.. Mel preacheda very i'm
pressive sermon, to deeply interested
congregation, on last Sabbath, from
text, Because there was no room for
them in the inn" A lasting impress
sion for good should be the result OF
the fclenn manner in which we were
led to see SO clearly that in this fast
age, there is, indeed. so little room lett
for Christ
AS usual, tbare is dissatisfaction in
regard to the appointment of Land
Assessors. A pity that so many good
men for such positions should want
them at the same time, whom a MAORI
ty must be disappointed.

In accordance with the recommen-
dation Of the Interstate Association
of Live Stock Sanitary Boards it is
probable that the Federal and State
cattle quarantine rules and regulations
will 20 into effect on the first day Of
January, 1900, and that the quarantine
line running through Albemarle,
Amherst, Fluvanna and Nelson Counties
will probably g into effect on the 18th
day of February, 1900, Parties wish
ing to transport cattle across said lines
will do vel to bear these dates in
mind as no permits will be given after
the quarantine goes into effect.

TO BE E-ADMIRALS.
Schley and Sampson Both to BE
Given Promotion.

Washington, D, c., December s.
Schley and Sampson are to be made
vice. admirals. The friends Of beth Of
these officers have felt that they de
served some more exalted Office than
that to which they were raised in
recognition of their services at Santiago
The office of yiee-admiral will have to
be created, however, before the con-
summation can be reached. A bill, it
s understood will soon be introduced
II Congress, probably after the an
nodncemeut of the committees, creating
two yice-admirals, and to the new
offices the two rear admirals will be adj
yanced as soon as the bill becomes a
law. The difference in pay between the
Office of rear-admiral and that of vice
admiral is some $4,000 OF $4,000.

CRUISER VIRGINIA.

Secretary Long Thinks One Of the New Ones
Will BE SO Named.
Washington, D. c., Dee 9.-Seeretary
of the Navy Long late this afternoon as
sured Senator Daniel that he will earnestly
recommend that one of the proposed rev
cruisers be named Virginia. in honor of
the State that has been so famous in the
history of the country
The Secretary further said that he now
feels certain that the cruiser will be named
in compliance with his recommendation. The
reason that cruiser instead Of warship
will bear the name of Virginia, is that the
United States has ceased building the for
mer type of vessel. The Virginia will be
the most powerful vessel afloat The con
tracts for the new vessels will probably be
let during the year 1901.
