Brief Chats With People Who Are
Coming and Going.

IT believe the grasslands Of Washing

ginia, probably as good as any IN the
world" said Mr.. George c. HUFF, the Dig
cattle-raiser of that county, at New
Ford's last night I'm our farm In WASH
ington county there are 1900 acres. we
sold last year for export go head or cat
tie. that averaged LBS pounds each, az
41-2 cents a pound. l do not believe any
grazing county in the world can show
better record than that Besides. we
grazed seventy head OF cattle additional,
and horses, mules. sheep. and hogs, and
raised 1000 bushels OF corn, 800 bushels
OF wheat, and 5000 cases or tomatoes.
There Is money In raising cattle; there Is
money In farming, II you DO 1t right and
IL you have q farm in Southwest Virginia.
! make money! good per cent on what
have invested. l do not believe people
in Virginia or elsewhere know what a
wonderful grass country Southwest Vir-
ginia is. Clear off the land anywhere,
especially In Washington county. and
there springs up at once hne growth or
natural grass, first-ciass pasturage. You
can't wear the grass out or our lanqs.
There Is land in Washington county that
has been in sod for eighty years. Hun
dreds of acres of fine sod lands never had
a handful OF grass-seed sown on them.
Our lands sell at good price, but they
are worth all man pays for them"

CHARITY BENEFIT TONIGHT.
Entertainment to BE One of the Most
UnIque Ever Given by Amateurs.

The big charity benefit occurs tonight
at the Bijou Theatre. and the entertain
ment will probably eclipse any similar
performance ever given In this city. one
thing is certain, and that is that the en-
tertanment will be the most unique that
has ever been produced by Richmond
amateurs Two II not three. OF the fea-
lures OF the programme viii be seen to-
night for the first time by the people or
this city.
The interest that has been manifested
in the entertainment has been something
wonderful. and every one connected with
It. from the members OF the Citizens Re
lief Association, for the benefit OF which
II is being given, 10 the youngest parti-
cipant on the programme, has worked
with a will for its success. While only
ten days have elapsed since the perform
ance was first announced, yet so earnest
~ has every one worked that not only
has a programme been arranged which,
in its presentation viii require the ser
vices Of more than a hundred people,
but through the individual efforts Of the
ladies' Of the City Mission, the Citizens
Relief Association, and other charitable
organizations. the undertaking has been
made an assured financial, as well as
artistic. success. The object Of the enter
tainment is a most worthy one, ana IL
SNOulQ appear al the Hlolc SNLbA1iy ~
the people Of Richmond at this time,
when the bitter weather Of the past week
or so has increased greatly the suffering
of the needy poor.
But aside from the charitable object FOR
the benefit Of which the performance Is
to be given, the entertainment should
draw a large audience on its own merits.
The very best OF local talent has been
secured, and those who have charge OF
the programme have endeavored 10 leave
the beaten paths, which are so often FOL
lowed in similar entertainments, ana 10
present to the public some genuine novel
ties I'm an amateur performance. That
they have succeeded a glance at the pro-
gramme will testify. The Toy symphony
Orchestra is a distinct innovation, while
a cake-walk, in which the participants
are from upper-tendom instead OF jack
Son Ward. is certainly an original loea-
When the curtain rises tonight there
IS little doubt that the Bijou VIII De
crowded, and that the audience VIII De
a brilliant one.

the gloves against Newport News heavy

mt in an appearance, and after apologies
had been made several local hard-hitters
were nut on the stage for the amusement
of the crowd.
The first bout was between two young
"bantams," Kid Gilbert and Jack WISE
and they tumbled over the stage for two
rounds The Kid had all the best of the
fight and forced the fighting on wise so
fast that he slipped and fell all over the
platform. Finally. In the second round,
when Wise was on HIS knees, the hld
fouled him by kicking him I'm the nose
and the fight was given to Wise.
A man named Burns and another bear
inc the cognomen of Farley put on the
gloves after this. and sprinted around the
stage for u minutes, after which their
bout was called draw.
Then came a trial between Kennedy
and Tyler, two local puglists, and in TINS
bout the SPECTATORS came nearer getting
their moneys worth than in any Of the
other contests Kennedy was the heaviest
Of the two, and he forced the fighting;
TYLER had a habit Of ducking his head
every time he thought he was in danger,
and it was dead easy for Kennedy TO land
on him. lie availed himself Of every op-
portunity and Tyler was quite badly pun
ished. Still the referee called the hght
a draw, and the spectators made no OBJ

commenced the use of DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. That gave
prompt relief and she improved in health
considerably. Ihave also used this remedy
and have always found it very excellent
tonic. 1t is certainly we'll adapted TO my
case, and has done me so much good that
i do not hesitate to recommend it to my
friends"
People have the most unbounded faith
in DIR. Greene's Nervura because it is the
prescription of the famous physician DR..
Greene, IS West I4th ST., New York City,
and from the fact that he can be con
suited without charge at any time in
regard to any case, either by calling or
writing to him.
