Sultolk, va, sept. ZS.-Ine ADJOURN
ment of the Baptist Association, which
was in session here three days this
week, deprives the reportorial faberites
of one of their main reiances for filing
their quota of space, for the associa-
ton was to them like a spring in a dry
land. news being a very scarce COM
modify around Suffolk at this time.
Anent the association, l am reminded
OF the remark made by one of the visit
ing minsters-one who is well posted
as to Suffolk and knew whereof he
spoke. Speaking of our advantages.
etc. he said: Suffolk has good law
yers, too; and possesses suitable ma
terlal for the Supreme Court bench"
That brother is level-headed. and it
goes without saying that he referred to
Circuit Judge Robert r. Prentis. who
is prominently mentioned for the posi-
ton of Supreme Court Judge TO be
filled by the General Assembly Judge
Prentis' friends-and they are legion
not only in this section. but in other
parts of the State-are actively at work
i'm his interest. and If fitness and merit
are considered he will be honored with
the position, and will be an honor to
the bench
