After not writing for several
months for the dear old CITIZEN
will try to send you few items
from this place this week. Our
failing to write in the past is not
because of any lack of interest in
our dear beloved paper, but because
the writer has been laboring in
another portion of the State and has
been too busily engaged in other
affairs to write. But our love for
the CITIZEN has not decreased-no,
not at all-but has increased and
ever shall, so long as it's noble editor
and his corps of faithful, entertain
ing and instructive correspondents
stand for that which is right, true
and noble.
We nave often wondered why the
CITIZEN was the best paper in Vir.
ginia, but since the good editor has
published the portraits of its cor
respondents we are no longer in the
dark. We know now it is because
so many contribute to its make mp.
"Coon," Of Weems, says, that sail

one in the CITIZEN last week is a
true reproduction of his daguerreo-
type, he looks as much like one as ]
ever saw, but Of coarse he is a marsh
coon and also Wee (ms) one too.
bear correspondents, have you
thought now many people looked
into our faces on the first page
of the CITIZEN last week? And
we wonder what has been said about
us? N.Y. would fill large volume.
The CITIZEN has over two thousand
subscribers, and the homes where it
enters each week to carry Joy ard
gladness will average five each, thus
making total of ten thousand or
more who have gazed at our photo
graphs. What vast concoursel
And yet, this is not all, for there are
hundreds that do not subscribe 10
the paper who>enjoy the came priv
lege. SO we, as humble correspon,
dents, have Il large field of useful
ness. The field is largeard the labor
ers are plentiful, so why not make the
CITIZEN yield a more powerful in
tlueuce in the future than it has
lone in ihe las'. lie. us let our
tights so shine that others may see
our good work aud be constrained TO
do likewise.

ering the gold standard bill passed

their respective branches of Congress,
but they can be depended upon to do
that in thoroughly democratic man

AVALON.

The present condition of Mother
Earth reminds us all of February of
last year.
The fishermen are making prepar-
ations for an early start this year.
Sam Bray, of this place, has put out
one net but fears it is danger of be-
ing carried away by ice.
w. Nj. Beatley returned from Bal
timore on Sunday last with fine
pair Of horses which he bought while
there. He has moved his saw-mill
from this place to "A tract of timber
he bought in Mob Neck.
Thos. III. Gill and son, Howard,
returned from Baltimore and York,
Pa, a few days ago, where they went
on business and pleasure trip COM
bined.
w. III. Rosemary was seen in our
midst last week. We suppose he is
still looking for good beef cattle,
which he buys and takes to Pennsyl-
vania to sell.
We were glad to meet Willie An
derson, formerly of Heathsville but
now of Baltimore, while he was visi-
ting his parents at Heathsville.
Ed. Lewis has moved his saw-mill
down on Sam Bray's land and is saw
ing some fine lumber.

to thank the senders for being SC
kind as to remember US in their idle
moments.
We wish someone would make ,

OUR FROLIC IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Gen. 10. Wheeler says the Fill
pinos were afraid of Gen. Lawton
and that the iusurrection broke out
Nafresh when he was killed.
5000 Filipinos attacked the town
of Daroga and were only repulsed af-
ter burning the town and wounding
one American lieutenant.
Congressman Jones, of Washing
ton, has introduced bill to pay each
volunteer soldier who served in Cuba
$3.50 extra, and each one who served
in the Philippines $3.50.
A letter from an officer at Manila
charges that Gen. Otis has svs-
tematically failed to give Gen.
Wheeler credit for the work he did
in the Philippines.
Filipinos attacked the 45th Infan-
try at Mao, Luzon. An American
corporal and four men, while patrol
ing railway near Mabacalat disap-
peared and party sent in search of
them was ambushed and a corporal
killed.
The war widows to be credited on
the pension roll TO the Spanish
American struggle will be large
company, if all applications of this
class shall be granted. Nearly 49,
600 widows--about so per cent. of
the total number of applicants
have already put in claims for pen
sions on account of our latest inter
national passage alarms.
Three Massachusetts soldiers of
the Twenty-sixth Regiment, United
States Volunteers, have been tortured
to death by insurgents. They re-
manned behind the column at Balinag
last November, and were captured by
the insurgents hanging on the rear of
the column, were cruelty tortured
and murdered by the rebels in the
public plaza at Balinag, the action
being countenanced by the Spanish
priests.

wESTMoRELAND ITEMS.

All are preparing for the,spring
work. In the upper part of the
county the truckers are planning for
early crops to supply the Colonial
Beach and Washington markets; and
in the central and lower part large
quantities of wood are being cut and
several saw-mills are in operation.
Our fishermen along the Potomac
and Rappahannock are laying low
just now, but by the first Of March
will have out all their traps.
There is not much interest being
manifested in the proposed Consti-
tutional Convention. 1t seems now
as if the measure will be beaten in this
county, as most of the local pollti-
clans seem to be afraid to tackle it.
1t being special election it will be
hard to get out full Democratic
vote, while the opposition will poll
every vote in their ranks. We be-
lieve that if we had a few more pa
pers that were as fearless in adyoca-
ting it as the CITIZEN the opposi-
ton would have no walk-oyer.
A large number of sheep could be
pastured upon our fertile fields and
wintered without much trouble if it
were not for few sheep-kllling dogs
that prowl around; but as it is, not
a year passes away but what some
fine flock is almost DESTROYED by
worthless ours.
Our Board of Supervisors have de-
cided to rebuild our courthouse, and
add fire proof Clerks office. Treas
urer's, Commissioner of Revenues,
Commonwealth Attorney and Super
visors' offices are to be the first floor,
with the court room and jury rooms
on the second floor. The proposed
change, we understand, will cost
| $1,000, which the Supervisors pro-
pose to raise by issuing 20-year bonds
at low rate of interest and creating
a sinking fund to liquidate the bonds
at maturity.
Washington and Montross Magis-
terial districts have recently adopted
the fence law, and after few months
notice all hogs and stock will have t.
be taken off what is generally known
as the commons" This new and
radical change will work to the dis.
advantage of a large number for 1
few years, but like all other>changes
they will become accustomed to 1T
and, no doubt, will like it better
than the old law.
The POLITICAL "forces" in this
county are inactive just now, as tn,
Martin men are satisfied at carrying
the state, and the Tyler men seem t.
be satisfied at carrying the county
, So both sides are doing what they
can to heal the wounds and allay tn,
hard feeling caused by the Senatorial
+ fight. AS this is very close county
it would be suicidal policy for tn,
: Democrats 10 be divided into fac
l tons here, and we are glad to Sc,
that both sides are acting conserva
lively in the matter. But there are
few extremists who will neither lister
to sense or reason and seem to b
laundering after the gore of the Mar
tin leaders.

upper part of this county, is rapid

Lancaster Court.

Monday was the regular term of Feb
ruary court, but, owing to the protracted
trial of @. r. Lewis at Heathsville, Judge
Ewell could not attend and so there was
no session OF the court.
For the first time within eight or ten
years the docket was clear and there
were no cases which would have de-
manded the attention of the court. For
this the county is TO be congratulated,
and 1t is to be hoped that this will be OF
more frequent occurrence than in past
years.
The weather on Monday was bitter
cold, the roads terrible and only dozen
or so people were in attendance.
