Dear Sir:-I received the nomination
for district judge by the independent and
democrat party, and as the time before
election is so short, it will be impossible
for me to call and see you, hence this
letter.
1t is very important to Walsh county
that the judge be resident of this coun-
ty, and as have lived in Grafton for
over nineteen years, and my opponent
lives in Pemblna county, hope you will
give me your vote for home man, than
an outsider.
Under the law you can vote the straight
independent and democrat ticket. by
placing an x at the head of the ticket in
the proper square. and in case you
should want to vote for anyone on the
republican ticket, you could do SO by
placing an x after the name you want to
vote for, in the republican column, but
FIRST. PUT AN AT THE HEAD OF THE
INDEPENDENT AND DEMOCRAT COLUMN,
in the proper place. Hoping that you
will give me your support and vote.
ann yours t1uly,
CHARLES A. M. SPENCER.

DAVIS-JAMES.-The Irviugton Bap-
list church was crowded on last We'd
nesday night to witness the marriage Of
Miss Mamie James, daughter of c. c.
James, esq, of 1rvington, TO Mr.. William
Henry Davis. of " Gems. The young peo-
pie Of the village had assembled in the
morning and the church presented q
lovely scene, there being three arches
made Of cedar and holly in each aisle
and one in front of the pulpit under
which the bridal couple stood during the
ceremony, not TO mention the lovely gar
lands that were strung across the front
of the church. Promptly at 1880 the
bridal party entered TO the strains of
Lohengrin rendered by Miss A. Blanche
Messick. First came the ushers, Messrs
Oscar Cameron, Harry Hopkins, Eustice
Brent and Frank Davis up one aisle,
while little Sadie Barnett and Nellie
Ford proceeded up the other. Follow
ing the little giils came the maid of
honor, Miss Ella Davis, then the bride,
attired in a handsome suit of brown
Venetian cloth trimmed in brown velvet
and white satin and carrying bouquet
of white carnations, on the arm of her
brother, Mr.. Orris James. The bride
was met under the arch by the groom
and his best man, Mr.. Loyola Leland,
who entered from the side door. Rev.
+. w. Claybrook then proceeded to
make them man and wife, while the
organ pealed forth the strains of idol
of my Heart"
After the ceremony the bridal party
and friends repaired to the home of w.
Ii. Ford, where reception was given
them, and on last night Mr.. w. T. Bar
nett, of Tombs, rendered them similar
one.
The newly welded couple have the
best wishes for a happy life from their
numerous friends, which are legion
both being extremely popular.

Why is it that the Rappahann ock
river does not get larger appro-
priation? We ask why? We notice
other rivers get some adequate ap.
preparations for their imperative
needs aud demands, but our appro-
priations have for years been grow
ing beautifully less aud less, until
now it is-well, we don't know what
very small, too small. The treas
ury of the United States is overflow
ing; prosperity is saturating every ar
terry of its life; its Golfers are running
over, and a large part of this reve-
nue. comes from Virginia, but very
little of it comes back. We have
few pensioners, and, as compared to
other States, few public government
tai buildings. We think, therefore,
here in Eastern Virginia, on the At
lantic coast, where our trade and
commerce is so much dependent on
constructed river navigation and
transportation; that we should have
adequate appropriations from the
federal government Cor our rivers and
har bors.
