w: T. Anderson, who claimed Norfolk
as his home, was given ten days in jail
yesterday for begging and being gene
raj nuisance to the residents Of the
West END, Hampton. Anderson, who
gave his age as. 50 years, had concocted
4 unique scheme by which to secure
money. He would visit q house and
when the occupant answered Anderson
would pretend to be deaf mute. An
officer was apprised Of this fact and
soon placed the unwelcome visitor under
arrest. NJ :
When the case came up before JUS
t1ce Anderson tried his little game
again and positively declined to pay any
attention to what was going on around
him. The Justice finally told Anderson
that he had just as we'll talk, for lie
would have to convict him anyway.
Then Anderson began to tell the his
tory Of his life, claiming that a knight
OF the turnpike" had taught him the
deaf mute "act." He begged manfully
TO be allowed to return to Norfolk, it
is said. and promised to shake the dust
OF HAMPTON from his feet in ten min
utes. He will be given the opportunity
at the expiration of ten days, during
which time he will. 1t is hoped, thor
oughly acquaint himself with his newly
discovered art of talking.

irritating

The baneful habits of nagging the
children, and threatening them, with
no idea of carrying out the threats,
which the children understand as
readily as the mothers, are so damag-
ing to their morals that mothers
should give thought to them and
determine to stop them. This latter
fault of threatening without execu-
ton, Of which SO many mothers are
guilty, is teaching the children ur-
truthfulness in most pronounced
way. Indeed, so notable is this, it is
worthy Of remark when a mother
quietly insists upon the child doing
what she has said he must do if he
disobeys, or depriving him Of what
she has declared he shall not enjoy.
\ fashionable, but loving young
mother, said to me some months
since, What do you think Charles
said to me last night, when was

exclaimed. Dearest, did

will find $I.OO for the weekly visitor,
which always brings me the news from my
old home and many relatives OF wise and
adjoining counties.
If vou will permit space | will add ie"
lines which may he of some interest to my
friends. It has been nearly four years
since left Norton for the north west and
finally landed in the eastern part OF this
grand old state near the father OF
waters" where the whistle of the many
boats and factories tells of the industries,
which are carried on near its banks.
You all know that this is one of the best
farming states in the Union, but 1t would
be quite interesting to some OF the
southern people to travel over TINS beauti-
full country and see the fine corn which rs
just now being gathered. 1t will make 10
bushels per acre in some places, also
steamers are busy threshing small grain,
which is a good crop.
If you would visit one of our towns you
would find them full of retired farmers
who came here in the early days, faced the
HdfuShlpS OF lIOniltI Ii'' MAUI ~ Apli"hN
and now they are enjoying their money.
Very few will sell their lands, but rent 1t
at from 50 to s. per acre.
Davenport, our county seat, is city OF
about 40 thousand inhabitants, situated
on the west bank of the Mississippi river,
on the opposite bark is Rock Island, ILL.,,
Just above is Moline, H., all connected by
electric cars and between these three cities
is the government Island, where the
Arsenal is kept. One can spend week
here and not see one-half OF the attrac-
tions and things ofinterest. They worked
IL hundred men on this Island during the
Spanish American war and have about
that number now. They manufacture
most every thing in the way of an OUTFIT
for the soldiers.
The people are Of different nationalities,
but more Germans. We have good society,
fine schools, and above all healthy
climate. The weather is nice and warm
at the present and the annual temperature
is about the same as that of southwest
Virginia.
would be pleased to hear from any of
my friends who may see these few lines.
Yours respectfully,

The Committee appointed by the
National Education Association at
it's last annual meeting. has been IN
Washington, investigating the vari'
Qua schemes for the establishment OF
a National University under Govern
ment control. The Committee com
posed of Presidents and prominent
members of the faculties of establish
ed Universities and colleges did not
take kindly to any of the proposed
schemes, and adopted series of res
olutions against them all, taking the
ground that the Federal Government
should aid and encourage educational
institutions, but should not control
them, although it might be wise for
the government to maintain, through
the Department Of State a school for
Consuls, analogous to those at West
Point and Annapolis, and like those
schools, leading to life career in the
government service
Those who believe that politics
should not be allowed to figure in
such business as the erection Of
public buildings, are pleased at the
decision of Secretary Gage, against
the protest of such prominent poll
ticians as Senators Plat and Depew,
to stand by the report of the commit
tee of architects, which was in favor
of constructing the new Custom
House, in New York City from plans
made by Mr.. Cass Gilbert, a Chicago
architect.

DwALK, Va, Noy. i.-1here is but little
excitement over the election in this yicin-
ity.
We have had good rain here, which
has greatly helped small grain that was
sown during the dry weather. 1t has also
stopped the forest fires which were raging
in different parts of the country.
Jas. Lipps, of Osborn's Gap, had two
year-old heifer burned to death in the fire
there. Some hogs are said to have been
burned to death in that vicinity also.
There has been great deal of FENCE
burned.
