KING GEORGE. VA, November l.
AS the day for the election draws near
politics in this section begin to wax
warm There has been but little special
interest shown until recently, and now
every man seems to have been aroused
TO the Importance of the issue.
The leaders Of both parties are work
ing manfully and each seems sangulne
of success Some enthusiasts even VEN
ture 10 bet. considerable amounts on the
final result There seems but little
doubt that Hon. John T. RXey will be
elected by a fine majority, though his
opponent is putting forth every effort to
defeat him.
Hon. William j. Rogers is not a strong
man politically. Last spring he was over
whelmingly defeated in the contest for
clerk of court of this county. and his
selection as opponant of Mr.. IiSey was
surprise to the public generally. King
George will give a fair vote for Bryan.
Many voters from a distance Will return
here to vote.
Another very enjoyable german was
given by the young gentlemen Of this
county last night in the I. O. U. A. NJ.
Hall, at the courthouse. 1t was we'll
attended, many coming from a distance
to be present. The music was furnished
by the Colonial Beach band.
The chestnut crop through this sec
ton is immense, and the nuts are Of su-
perior quality. Prices are now so low
that many merchants have declined to
take any more in. Some persons have
made fine profits on their crops.
