FRANKTOWN.
WENT TO HEAR BRYAN-EAST-
ERN SHORE FORESTRY.

NcPGtldl " llOl.J
Fraplltown. Va, Oct. 27.-Many of
the voting citizens of the Eastern
Shore counties of Virginia went to Sal
sbury, Md, on the oath instant to
hear Hon. VIM. j. Bryan. Possibly
1000 went on the excursion rates
through a down-pour of rain. and it is
said that in that beautiful Maryia nd
town of about 5000 inhabitants there
We're gathered 10000 men from all parts
of the Shore 10 lston to their distin-
guiShed countryman.
One gentleman from this neieS,hor-
hood who went returned with his soul
full of enthusiasm. He pushed to make
an opportunity to speak to Mr. Bryan.
AS the Bryan carriage stopped at the
spot where he was TO speak lie seized
Mr.. Hryan's hand and said: II told
my wife when l left home at o'clock
this morning was coming here to
shake your hand" Mr.. Bryan lifted
his hat as he shook hands cordially
with Captain Lewis. and then. taking a
most beautiful rose, handed II to the
Nirginian, and said: Present this to
the lady with my compliments" In
telling this beautiful sIittle incident
Captain Lewis added: cir n preacher
face and voice. and such arguments
in his mouth as this man has. l would
get converted and join church at once"
Everybody who saw and heard him
was as enthusiastic. The magnetic
leader OF the Democracy is making
such n tidal wave wherever he goes
and he is sure to win.
HACKBERRY-NOT BLACKBERRY
TREE.
In the last notes from this place. in
the item on Eastern Shore Forestry"
the compositor made the writer say
blackberry" tree. There is no such
thing as n blackberry tree. There is
brier Of that name that bears IL berry
of elegant flavor. wholesome and
known in all Virginia: but n black
berry bush,' measuring sixteen feet
around the BODY. and the one bush
shading nearly half an acre of land,
would be an enormity.
But the blackberry tree (celtis occi-
dentalis) bears berry smaller than
the cherry and n little larger than the
ordinary whorttleberry. 1t is sweet
and pleasant to the tastc-sometimes in
other centuries called sugar berry.
This tree was called by the ancient
SEASONS hagberry and hedgcberry. It
grows In form and size and height like
an elm. It's wood is tough and heavy
and has the appearance of the live oak.
When small it is used with other tough
woods for hoop poles. and by some
worlImen is called hoop-ash. This that
stands in Mr.. Mapp's yard is the
largest of the sort III Virginia. from the
mountains TO the sea, and one of the
most beautiful of any sort in the State
1t appears to be 400 years old and is
worthy of a trip To IIungars Creek
TO see 1t in its splendid masnificence.

The University presented quite a lively

days. Most of them were doctors who
had been attending the convention of

every one who had the good fortune to
go through them.

teachers of preparatory schools will
commence at the University. An ex
cellent program will be arranged.
Overconfidence and an underesti-

Virginia would have no trouble in de-
icd.iiiS inc cadets, VINO would never

NSpeclai 10 NlrSlnlan- PllOt)
Lexington. Va. Oct. 27-The students
of Washington and Lee had the pleas
ure last Wednesday of seeing the first
game of football ever played in Lex
ington. This was the game between
the University of Virginia and the Vir-
ginia Military Institute. The V. NJ l.
boys played a beautiful and also
wonderful game, as they were greatly
outweighed. The game was a great
surprise to every one. even to the "
NJ. ]. boys themselves.
PRESIDENT WILSON'S SUCCESSOR
Professor Harry ST George Tucker.
of our law school. has been appointed
president pro tenn. of Washington and
Lee University TO FIJI the vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. William
l.. Wilson. No action has been taken
by the Board of Trustees towards
elccting n president.
The football team, which was sus-
PENDED for a week on account of the
death of Mr. Wilson, has again begun
hard work, but the time lost will Sc
riously affect our team for the rest of
the season. For the same reason the
game with Richmond College, sched-
uled for last Monday, had to be can
celled.
LIVELY SCRAPS.
The sophomores and freshmen have
been having some livery scraps"
| lately. The trouble began by the
freshmen attempting to interfere with
class meeting held by the sopho-
| mores. ii took but a very few min
utes for the "snphs" to dispense the
| freshmen. many of them bearing off
black eyes. The final event was n
grand cane rush between the two
| classes. but before any damage could
| be done the crowd was broken up by
| the announcement OF Mr. Wilson's Ill
| ness. That night some of the indg-
nant sophomores took their spite out
on the sta~ IF "Old George" which
is on the top OF the academic building.

TAYLOR TURNER.

The news went over the city this
morning that Mr.. Clarence Taylor
and Miss Maidel Turner were quietly
married at the residence of Mr.. W.
H. Booth, last night by Rev. ]. N.
McFarlane of the First Presbyterian
Church.
This popular couple have been en-
gagged some time and the wedding
day was set for the middle of March
The families of both the groom and
the bride had given their sanction
to the match.
1t seems that when the groom
went to bid goodbye to his fancee
last night, he proposed that they
get married right away, to which
by pleading she gave her consent
He then departed and finding his
friend, W. H. Booth, he told of
their wishes to have quiet we'd
ding. Mr.. Booth entered into the
plans and gave Mr.. Taylor orders to
take Miss Turner to his home, as he
could not get license on the Texas
side, but procure them on the East
Side. While Mr.. Taylor was getting
ready and awaiting Miss Turner at
her home, Mr.. Booth was out look
ing up the license and the minister
and when the clock struck half past
ten, the wedding party was as
sembled in the Booths parlors, and
soon the couple we're made man and
wife.
Both are very popular in the city
and nothing but good wishes will be
expressed for their well doing. We
add our congratulations to both.

thing progressing quietly, A tair

were doing the voting was en-
thusiastic for the tickt they de-
posted and wanted to see their
candidates win.
A great many bets were made on
the result, the bets being princi
paly based ON the candidates for

Mayors Office did not attract enough
enthusiasm to cause the partisaus
of the candidates to lay wagers.
The number of votes cast up to the
