TWO STRONG MEN.
Manchester, Chesterfield and Powhatan
are represented by two strong men In
the Hons. W. w Baker and D. L. To-
ney. They are both fine business men,
and do very little unnecessary talking in
the House. They have been successful so
"a. in getting their bills through the
body, and look after the affairs of their
constituents with much industry. cap
tain Baker is one OF the best business
men In Chesterfield, and has been IN the
Legislature several times before. Mr.. To-
ney is serving his second term: was post
master of Manchester during Cleveland ;
second term. and is n prosperous E,er-
chant Of that city.
Captain John W. Todd, OF Augusta,

because he seldom enters the arena or
debate. But he is nevertheless one of the
most valuable men in the House. He

Editor of the Times:
Sir-There seems to have haen a lack

visions OF the Virginia Telephone and
Telegraph charter. and as a patron
of the bill 1 think it proper to give my
reasons for supporting it.

civilization. Such i system is perhaps
the greatest time and labor saver in the
world The great commercial States en-
joy these systems in a highly developed
condition. and Virginia must do DIS her

SUCCESSFUL CAREER.
Mr.. Boaz has had a most successful
political career, having been sent to the
HOUSE four times. with practically no
opposition. There are few, If any. more
popular or influential men in the Lower
House than the genial mamoer from AL
bemarlc, and when he resists' the pas
sage of a measure which carries with it
an expenditure of public money. as he
often does, it nearly always fails.

forceful manner. and when he takes his
seat h has usually accomplished this
purpose for which he arose. lie seldom

is one of The hardest worked and per-
hans the most important of all The House
committees.

imperative that he should do a cons:d-

A HARD WORKER.
Hon. w. B. Bowles, Of Salem. is anoth-
er of the House members who accenp-
fishes his ends in lGgisla tive matters
by working rather than talking. He is
one of the best humored renib -rs in the
body, and ranks high as a solid, clear
headed business man. He is prominent
member Of the Finance Committee. and
is one of the right bowers OF its distin-
Suishcd chairman. Mr.. Bowles has never
served in the House before. but if his
people want faithful and influo ntial
representative in that body. they should
return him, Il he desires to come back

In the Hon. Upton D. Jennings. Of

CANNES AS LIFE SAVERS.

Peter Laney of Wales owes his life to
two small bull pups. While walking
down West avenue he fell into an open
sewer trench, about five feet deep. Two
bull pups saw him fall, and, running
after him, jumped into the trench and
began paving and pulling him around
until they got him up on his feet, and
then jumping out began pulling him
in play, but their play was so strong
that they finally succeeded in getting
him clear out of the ditch. The trench
into which Laney fell was dug to re-
pair a sewer leak and the place was
filed with poisonous gases.

Cannon had been planted to rake us,
when a 18th boy, who was in there, on a
train en- route to Rolld, cried out: For
Gods sake, hold on: that is Col. Bever-
idge; know him." Men, horses, flags and
all were thickly coated with dust; no Won
der they did not know us. y large man,
an artillery Sergeant espied our guidon-
a branch Of a tree had brushed the dust
from it-and cried out, Hold on: that is
a Union gudon." Then the hurrahs did
go up, everybody shaking hands, the be-
sieged comrades and those relieving them.
Reader, this little band had fought 10000
men, and there were only 100 of them. l
learned we had penetrated Prices army.
The night before, when the rebel picket
fired on us and ran, they told Price big
army was upon them, and Price had fall
en- back, SO we had come in on that road.
On the other roads We're Shclby's men ad-
vancing still, so we were now between
their lines" and as soon as this fact was
known they would close in on us. Col.
Beveridge had an eye to business. He
was not going to be caught in the trap.
He counciled with Gen. Ewing. Then the
orders came. Boys. take what new Gov
ernment clothing you want from those two
carloads at the depot; then, Captains, ad-
vance your companies toward the enemy;
pile up huge piles of brush and set all on
fire. This made II long blaze of camp
