Splendid Property for Sale at
a Great Bargain.

A fine Grain and Stock Farm In Amelia
County, Virginia, 20 miles west from
Petersburg, miles north Of Ford, on the
N. & w. r. R. contains
1857 ACRES OF
Rich Creek bottom, fine for Timothy Hay,
Grain, &C., level upland, of good produc-
tive quality for Tobacco, Grain, &C., and
healthy. The old mansion house has a
brick basement with 4 rooms, two upper
stories with II rooms. There are two
other Settlements on the place and prob
ably 25 buildings in all and many fruit
trees.
There is a large amount of timber on
the land. One party well acquainted with
the place, and also with the price OF lum-
Der says he thinks enough lumber can
be had on the land to pay for it.
Some gold has been found and some
coal, but 1 do not know how much OF
either there is. l have an application to
lease the OIL and Gas privileges on it.
There may be millions in all there. But
1 want to sell the place as it is and at
once. 1t has been held at $500 per acre.
/ now offer it at $500 per acre. At this
there is a big bargain in it for some one.
The, buildings on the place are worth
most of this. The lumber as much more.
1t would make one of the finest Stock
Farms in the country. 1t is considered
about the best Farm in this section.
Go see the place? Get off at Ford's
Depot and Gus S. Van Cleef who lives
near will show the place.

TO COTTON
Complaints Are Heard From
Nearly All Sections.
Prostitution Of Wires Prevents he Forwarding OF
Reports From Texas. Corn Rapidly
Maf,yiou

Washington, SEPT. 1.-THE weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop condl-
tions says:
The hot, dry weather has rapidly ma
tured corn, and under existing conditions
the crop should be practically safe from
frost by September 18th. Cutting is IN
progress in all sections and an excellent
crop is assured in the principal corn pro-
ducing States. Late corn is drying in
Central Kansas, is seriously injured by
drought in portions of Kentucky and Will
be short in West Virginia, Virginia, por-
tions of Pennsylvania and the South At
lantic States.
In the eastern part of the cotton belt
the greater part of the crop is now open
and picking is progressing rapidly, but
has been delayed by showers in Florida.
Complaints of rust, shedding and prema-
ture opening continue, and some damage
from rain has resulted to the open staple
in Georgia, while the bolls are small and
difficult: to pick No serious injury to
cotton from the recent tropical storm is
reported from the Central section; IN
Louisiana the first picking is yielding
| fairly well, but the prospects for a top
| crop in that State, as well as in Missls-
| sippi and North Carolina are unfavorable.
| Slow progress was made in picking in
Arkansas and Mississippi, due to hot
weather and scarcity of pickers in the
first named State. Owing to the prostra-
tion of wires by the tropical storm which
! recently devastated Texas, no reports
concerning cotton have been received
from that State.
The greater part of the tobacco crop
has been housed and curing is progress
ing. The late crop was seriously injured
by drought in portions of Kentucky and
an inferior yield is indicated in North
Carolina. A light yield is also reported
from Maryland and Virginia, the crop
| firing badly and being damaged by worms
| in the first named State, while some poor
cures are reported from the latter.

have arrived to be present at the open
ing of the term, there being several Mon

The college was never in better shape
for the opening of a term. Trinity Park

have been better fitting themselves for the
important work that lies before ishem.
The, outlook for the college is most
encouraging and exceedingly bright. We
believe that the college year just now
beginning will be the best in the his
tory of Trinity College, both in point of
numbers and the work to be done.
The outlook for Trinity Park High

husband called in physician to ask If
his wife had consumption. The physician,
after careful examination, declared that
she had no trace of the disease, but the
husband insisted that she was so af-
fected and that he feared she would drop
dead any time. Next day Mrs. Mizelle
had a chill. Her husband gave her some
medicine which he had previously pro-
cured and Immediately left home. When
he returned that evening she was dead.
Early next morning he buried her and

her stomach and liver be sent to the
State Chemist for examination. The af-
fair is being much discussed in the neigh
borhood.

In Chambers street the other day, az

new hand organ; the music it emitted
was rarely beautiful, but there was no

noise to it, 1t was like a Cathedral or
gan operated by a master hand. 1t was
playing Consolation, one of Mendels-

pulling out and putting in the stops No
one could pass it. Brokers, bankers, law
yers, clerks, typewrlters, all Joined the
throng to enjoy II. 1t ceased for min
ute then commenced the "Cavaleria Rus
tlcana;" as il played the Intermezzo, a
woman, roughly pushing aside two dstin-
guished, gray-haired men, walked up to
the organ and stood near me. She had
been drinking. She was one Of the many
unfortunate women who belong to the
streets of New York. She was of COM
handing presence, with the remains of
great beauty, but dissipated looking, and
with a most despairlng expression on her
face. She was dressed 10 a little of ev-
erything. Her dirty black velvet hat was
dropping over one ear. which displayed a
fine brow. Her jacket was opened at the
neck, revealing a strong, massive throat.
She stood with hands clasped and gazed
into vacancy. The organ ceased again for
a minute. then IL commenced the Mise
rere" from I'll Trovatore." She gave a
cry. dropping on her knees she put her
head up on the organ and sobbed hope
lessly As the organ stopped she raised
her hands over her head and cried out:
"My God! My God What have 1 done
with my lifeH
There was not dry eve among us. II
is my opinion that she was once a sue
cessful orera singer. Her brow and throat
denoted Il, ''Pegsy."
