PROUD OF HIS FAMILY.
Lord Roberts Ia Greatly Devoted to
His Wife and nourns His
Soldier Son.

AS husband and father Lord Rob
erts, or "Bobs," as the soldiers and peo-
pie generally are wont to call him, is
model in every respect. II common
report is to be believed. the most per-
feet sympathy has existed between
Lord and Lady Roberts since they were
married Al years ago. and Lady Rob-
erts, herself the daughter of sol
der, has always been ableto associate
herself with the chief interest in life
of her husband. Her work in India in
the cause of the soldiers wives will
long be remembered by the English.
and among her own sex she is as much
beloved as Lord Roberts is by men,
says London paper.
The death of their son at Colenso
came all the more severely 10 Lord and
Lady Roberts. as they were singular
ly affeetionate and united family. The
greatest affection existed between the
distinguished father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
that his son would achieve distinction
IN the same profession. and his valuable
e-eP' 'NHNt "H1 y NJ hPdih9 "tfe Always
at his sons service. "Bobs" was very
proud of his sons prowess in the sad
die. At race meeting some time ago
in Ireland Roberts rode clean away
from the field and won by dozen
lengths. My son must not be eneour-
aged to ride; a soldier has to keep all
his abilities in the service said Lord
Roberts, and then with burst of pa
ternal pride, but in all my life never
saw anyone ride better race"

A hundred things happen every
week that the newspaper man never
sees or hears about. He does the best
he can, keeps his eyes and ears open,
but he is only human being and
neither omniscent or omni- present.
You often wonder why this or that
thing was not published, and maybe
you say the newspapers have their
favorites. They are the people who
are thoughtful enough to send what
news they have to the office or invite
the reporter where the news is.
Please be governed as above.

LITTLE CHANGE IN CONDITIONS.
Local Rains Aid Crops, But Hot
Weather Continues.


Standardization Evans, of the Weather
Bureau, in his crop bulletin for the week
ending September ID, says:
"A continuation of the weather condi-
lions prevailing during the preceding week
has characterized the one just ended, ex-
cept that the days have not been 50 hot
Light local rains have fallen. and while
perhaps they have been a little more fire.
uuent than in the preceding week, they
have beneraFiy yielded insufficient amounts
for crop purposes. Hence, the week has
seen a continued fniling off in the condi->
ton of the late crops, and IT now appears
beyond doubt that they will be short. It
is the general opinion among our CORE
spoadents that even with sufficient mois-
ture this result would not be materially
changed, except in the case of pastures.
Fall blowing is very much behind and N
all portions of the State. especially in The
Middle md Tidewater divisions, which
nave suffered the most from drought, and
the greatest good that a general and soak
ing rain could now do would be to soften
the ground and put it in condition for
blowing and the seeding OF wheat, turnipS
and clover.
Corn cutting and shocking, and fodder
pulling, have progressed steadily through
the week. The crop is badly burnt, below
average IN all sections and on some up
lands almost failure.
Tobacco curing and housing continues
Some fields have been improved by the
occurrence of showers and heavy dews,
and in a few instances fair crops are re-
ported, but in the main, it is very infer
Tor, being much burnt and prematurely
ripened by the excessive heat nnd drought
of August.
Apples continue to fall Additional
special reports received during the past
week confirm the previously expressed
opinion that this crop would be short
