Suffolk. Va. Aug. 1o.-After II short
season of domestic discord, physical
pain and an incidental loss of beer and
whiskey, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bailey
have become reconciled and their little
quarrel ended with embraces and
kisses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey are residents of
Barretts Neck. a peninsula in the
northern part of Nanseinond county.
AS told in this paper to-day. Hurri-
cane Branch was last night summoned
over there, ii being told that Bailey had
beaten his wife. Branch arrived about
IL o'clock and looked after Bailey till
this morning. Then Mrs. Bailey's love
for her husband asserted itself and
proved n more powerful emotion than
her one time wish TO have him pun
ished. The warrant was withdrawn
and the sequel was full OF harmony.
SHE KEPT HER WORD.
The trouble started yesterday even
ing, when Mr.. Bailey arrived home with
about two dozen bottles of beer and II
couple of whiskcy packages all of
which had been bought in Newport
News. Some of the refreshments had
been procured to accommodate neigh
bors. but it was in Bailey's possession
and that was enough to remind Mrs.
IoslltS Vi Htl W Ilt'h lHc
whiskey bottles her husband brought
home.
Mrs. Bailey got into the cart and pro-
ceeded with great rapidity to smash the
bottles. There was n big flow of wasted
refreshments as the necks of the bot
Ties were broken off. That angered
Bailey. and before he had time TO re-
fleet he struck his wife harder than he
meant.
Mrs. Bailey. who is a plucky lady,
has not Withdrawn her intention to do
some more bottle smashing If the op-
portunity arises.
But Mr.. and Mrs Bailey are well
liked by their neighbors, who hope that
there win be no repetition of last
nights incidents. The reconciliation
seems sincere.
