The committee from the business men
of Ellsworth who had in hand the matter
of securing, il possible, the terminus of
the Washington County railroad in Els
worth, has received letter from General
Manager Evans, OF the Maine Central,
which is not encouraging to Elsworth's
hopes. Mr.. Evans says in effect that they
have gone to such expense now in build
ing a station at Washington Junction,
that he thinks it would be inexpedient to
make change.
Next Wednesday at the home Of Austin
NJ. Foster, his daughter Frances E. and
Rev. David l.. Yale, of Bath, will be
united in marriage. Mr.. Yale was for six
years pastor Of the Congregational church
here, and is now settled at Bath over
large and fourish1ng congregation. Miss
Foster is one of Elsworth's most highly
respected young ladies; both have hosts
of friends here who wish them long
and happy welded life. The ceremony
will take place in the forenoon; they will
leave on the noon train for wedding
trip, after which they will return to Bath
and occupy a home already prepared for
them.
The supreme judicial court for Hancock
county will convene next Tuesday, Judge
A. 2. Wiswell presiding. Owing to the
addition being made to the county build
ing, the court will be carried on at some
Inconvenience, and the term may Ee
shortened in consequence. No criminal
business OF Importance is in sight, and
few civil cases will be tried, though a few
of the lawyers indicate desire to try
cases. The court room remains unds-
turbed by the building operations. To
keep out as much noise and dirt as possi-
bic, the entrance from the rear has not
been cut through. The front stairway
will be used by attorneys. The law library
which will be used as the attorneys room.
The jury's lobby on the other side will be
used as jury room.

Good For Prince Edward.

Correspondence Richmond Times.)
We congratulate the people Of Farm
vile and Prince Edward county upon
their determination to macadamize
seven miles Of the principal road in the
county, extending from Farmville TO
Hampden-Sidney. We are confident
that when the experiment is once made
its benefits Will be so manifest that il
will only be a question Of a short time
when all Of the principal roads Of the
county will be macadamized, and
reasoning from the experience Of other
sections, where the roads have been
improved, it may be confidently pre-
dicted that this progressive step will
not only be profitable to the people OF
that county in increased comfort of
hauling and increased value Of lands,
but IL will attract the attention Of those
who are now seeking homes in Virgin
in, and who will only purchase property
and live in communities where the
people are progressive and the comforts
and benefits Of civilization may be
obtained at all seasons Of the year.
The subject Of road improvement is
receiving the earnest consideration of
the people Of all sections of the State,
and we trust that other counties will
follow the example Of Prince Edward |
and begin the actual work Of making |
roads-even i'm a small way. |
Let a start be made in permanent inn
and it will be surprising
how much can be accomplished by
ioing little each year. Y.

Remarkable sales

To show you that the musical people
of Virginia and North Carolina appre-
ciate the untiring labor Of Mr. G. H.
Addison, Of Norfolk, Va, in furnish
ing to them such opportunities of buy
ing pianos. Look what the different
papers say:
From .SaiisJUry SIM: "Mr. G. H..
Addison, Of Norfolk, Va, proprietor of
the Standard Music Co., brought a car
load Of pianos to Salisbury last Mon
day morning, advertised freely in the
Sun and a. "a result he tells us he only
has five pianos remaining of the entire
car. The pianos sold by the Standard
Music Co. are iirst-class i'm every par
ticuar and are guaranteed for five
wears. The easy terms, too, upon
which they are sold, have been a great
inducement for our people to buy.
Mr.. Addison is "A clever and Obliging
gentleman and meets with most re-
markable success in every town his
pianos are introduced, having disposed
Of twenty car loads Of pianos within
the past 20 weeks. Judging from the
large number Of fine instruments sold
here this week Salisbury is going to
keep up her reputation as a musical
town.
From the DdnUjilc- Register THE
Standard Music Co., G. II. Addison,
proprietor, of Norfolk, Va, shipped
twenty-seven pianos to Danville and
sold twenty-four Of them in eleven
days There are over eighty Stultz d
Bauer pianos now in use in the city of
Danville."
The same opportunity will be afford
ed the people Of Farmvile on the 9th
Of July, 800, and we hope they too,
will prove to have none the less musi-
cal talent, so that the HERALD can
join with her sister papers in singing
musical notes Of praise to Mr.. Addison
and his pianos.

There are endless superstitions at
tached to weddings. A gimmal ring
was the beirothal ring, made OF two or
three hoops, one of which was-worn by
the liancee, one by the future husband
and one by the mutual friend. When
they were married the three rings were
united and given to the bride as a
keeper. The golden circle is supposed
to typify eternity or everlasting love,
and often bears notices such as Olive
happy" or 81 bring good fortune to
the wearer." May has always been
considered unlucky for MARRIAGE the
Romans deemed June the most fortu-
nate month for espousals. 1t used to
be the fashion TO strew flowers and
grains of wheat as the bride passed,
and at one time cOrOnets Of corn were
worn by brides. Rice is symbolical Of
plenty, and i'm Java the bride and
bridegroom partake of rice out Of one
dish to betOken that they will spend
their future together. The shoe is
sign of the submission Of the wife to
the husband; the left shoe is thrown
as a symbol Of good luck, and, once on
a time, if younger sister married
first, the elder ones were supposed to
dance barefooted at the wedding, lest
they should become old maids.
