LOCAL IN BRIEF.

Agreeable weather and a good turn
out marked Decoration day in Toledo.
In the forenoon the procession went to
the Toledo cemetery according to pro-
gram and performed the ever-beautiful
ceremony of decorating the graves of
the nations dead. Abe Lincoln Relief
Corps conducted the impressive burial
service for the unknown dead, the old
veterans tenderly placed their floral
tributes upon the mound, followed by
nearly every one present. Here and
there little flag marked the last rest
ing place of soldier, and soon the
mounds were thickly covered with flow
ers-Oregon tlowers-the prettiest in the
In the world. The decorating ended,
the assemblage paused at the cemetery
gate and sang the dear old national an
them, "America. In the afternoon the
members of 6. A. R., w. R. G. and Miss
Summers pupils formed a procession and
marched to the courthouse. They made
pleasing and patriotic appearance, but
about a hundred more school children
who might have been added to the pro-
cession would have made it more so.
The circuit court room, however, was
filled to overflowing. The prayer by
Chaplain Carter of Abe Lincoln Post
was followed by music by choir COM
posed of Mesdames Swope and Bethers,
Misses Sumner and Thompson and
Messrs. Ross and Gather, with Mrs
Fred Stanton as organist. The several
selections by the choir were thoroughly
appreciated. Mrs. =. H. Young and
Miss Mamie Wakefield gave appropriate
recitations, in very creditable manner
The Grafton by Attorney B. F. Swope
was a splendid effort and won many
words of praise. His tribute to the
nations defenders was of unusual merit
and thoroughly appreciated by the vet
Grams, Mr.. Swope has thus paved the
! ay for lot of trouble for himself, for
he will hereafter encounter brisk de-
mand for his presence on public occa-
sions. Memorial day was fttingly
observed in Toledo.

Miss Evie Finney died last week at
Suffolk, aged seventy.two years. She
had been a teacher more than half a
century, and for over twenty years
had been a member of the faculty Of
the Suffolk College, leading school
for young women.
One of the most unique laws ever
passed by Winchester will shortly go
into effect. 1t provides for the exter-
mtnation of mosquitoes. Ten years ago
no mosquitoes existed in the city, but
now the town is infested with them.
The City Council passed law requir-
ing every property holder, under the
of the police, to pour
kerosene oil on every open pool, sink
or drain, and that every open rain
barrel shall have the spigot at the
bottom of the barrel. This will be
done at least once month. The law
is the result of experiments made by
the United States Government, and
is only known method of exterminat-
ing mosquitoes. The kerosene kills
the germ OF the mosquito, which is
deposited by the female on the sur
face of pools and sinks.

The people of Delaware are jubi-
lant this year over their prospects Of
a big peach crop and seem so conf
dent, that they have nothing to teal
from the icy blasts of March or the
tickle weather of April, that they are
already preparing to market them on
a big scale this season. The growers
report that they expect millions" OF
dollars from them and have so i'm
pressed the basket manufacturers
with their belief, that they will soon
be running their factories on double
time to meet the expected demand
for empties. 1t is estimated that the
crop will be the best for the last ten
years. Things surely look rosy up
there at present but the calamity
howlers in that section have not been
heard from yet and their usual re
port of failure in the crop may be
expected later.

The seat in Congress, to which
Hon VIM. A. Young of the Second
District of Virginia, YVES elected by
3 majority of nearly 5000 over his
republican opponent, DR.. Richard A.
Wise, has been given to the latter
and a like result is expected in the
contest, which Gen. James A. Walker
is making for the seat of Judge
Rhea, by whom he was defeated.
Fraud was charged by DIR. Wise and
that was sufficient. 1t was not proven
even to the satisfaction of many of
the republicans but the party lash
was applied and enough OF them fell
into line to unseat Young. A Repub
lican House can be counted on every
time to evict democrat whenever
the opportunity is presented.
Gen. Walker, of course, would be
seated even if fraud was not made as
the ground of contest by him. He
is too good hater and defamer of
the Southern people to be denied a
seat in the House dominated by Re-
publicans.

dick, pastor in charge OF the South
Brunswick Circuit of the NJ. L. Church

came to summon him to see his
wife and he slipped on his shoes
and went to the door to invite him
inside.
He was met at the door by Mr..

to be killed. He then turned

lung, one near the kidneys and one
through each arm

citizen and good physician.

years of age and son of Rev. j. A.
Riddick, presiding elder OF FarmvilIe

Property Can be Sold If Taxes for 1898
are not PAID.

1t is important that each and every
property-owner examine his tax re-
ceipts. If owners of property have
not paid their taxes for the year OF
1898, their property will be sold with
out further notice to them.
Heretofore the State has been the
purchaser of delinquent property, as
tax titles were not in good repute
with private individuals now, how
ever, since the courts have upheld
the validity of such titles, private in
viduals have bought and are ready
to buy such titles.
Under the new law, when one buys
from the State notice must be given
to the owner land to the beneficiary
or trustee if there be lien), and he
has four months in which to redeem
his property.
The old law, under which the sales
for 1898 will take place, requires no
notice from the purchaser to the
owner, nor to anyone else.

The VALUATION Bill" passed by GU
last Legislature, which has created
such stir throughout the Common
wealth and is so Objectionable tC
many of its citizens, that steps have
already been taken to declare it un
constitutional, is presented in full tC
our readers in this issue. We submit
it to them that they may judge it,
merits and believe they will conclude
that it is good measure or other
wise, according to the standpoint from
which it is viewed by them. By the
taxpayers, who have stocks, bonds and
other personal securities, the bill will
ba considered inquisitorial, in that ii
gives the officers who lists them for
taxation an opportunity to pry into
their private affairs in way that it
is Objectionable to them. By the
taxpayers, whose property is visible,
such as horses, farming implements
and the like, which cannot be secreted
by them in a safe or in the vaults Of
some deposit company, the conclu-
sion is likely to be reached, that
there is nothing in the bill so far as
it affects them to disapprove but
much to commend it to them. Thai
the latter class cannot be injured, If
bonds, stocks and the like, are taxed
goes without saying. Whether the
holders of them should be made to
bring them forth and have them list.
ed for taxation is another question
That they should, the taxpayers who
believe that this species of property
should be made to bear its fair share
of the burden of taxation, will have
no difficulty in deciding to their salts
faction. That they should, the
holders of these personal securities,
do not, as we understand, deny bet
object to the bill mainly on the
ground that it opens up to the Com
missioner of Valuation their business
affairs in way that is unpleasant
to them. The bill, therefore, from
the standpoint of the latter does hot
seem to be bad in itself, Tut only
as to the methods of enforcing it Is
the objection made to it sufficient to
make the bill a bad one? Our
readers can arrive at their own con-
illusions in the matter and answer
the question TO suit themselves We
DO not join, however, in the clamor
that has been made against the bill
or believe after careful perusal of it
that the cutlery, which has been made
against it, is altogether just.
If the bill is a bad one, though, the |
legislators who enacted it are res
ponsible for it, and not the Governor
as has been charged. If Que con-
sideration was not given it by them
before its passage that is their fault
and not his, unless they would have
him bear the burdens not only OF his
office but of theirs as well.
