DIR. Arthur Watson is i'll. His SOD
lDr. Arthur Watson .Ir OF baltimore
is with him.
Mrs Alice Tou'son, of Baltimore
larrived on Wednesday and Ia the
guest of her sister, Mrs. McGrath.
A number of the members of the W
lC. Il. u. of this town went to Caps
Charles on Wednesday to attend the
district meeting OF that body.
In the Onapcock NJ. E. Church
South. Wednesday evening, Febru'
airy 28th, there will be a public meet
ing of the w. G. T. u, to interest the
people in the temperance cause. Dr.
Edwards will lecture. Mrs. Titlow's
eading and music are on the pro-
gramme.
Our townsman. Mr.. VIM. 7.
Bundick, is in attendance at the
Prohibition State Convention, which
meets ia the city of Richmond this
week. He is chairman of the COM
mittee and was booked to deliver his
lecture on, Good citizenship, We'd
nesday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. s. F. Rodgers, of Fin
ney's, at their home, on Onancock
creek, gave party Oh the evening
OF the 10th inst, in honor OF Miss
Lily Miles, teacher of the Rodgers
private school at that place. A
large number of guests were present.
among them being many of the
young people of this town.
Mr.. ]. G. W. Leatherbury, who has
been an honored employee OF Messrs.
Ames, Shield & Co. for seven years,
has bee n admitted as member OF
the firm. Their place of business
will be closed for three days next
week, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday-for the purpose of making
an inventory OF the stock.
During the very unpleasant wealth.
er, and also on account of the rough
roads, from the 10th to the 21st, there
were few visitors from the country
and the town was unusually quiet
But it may be that nothing is lost
during such quiet times, as it gives
opportunity for men to deliberate
and mature plans for the better euds
of enterprises which are being pro-
NOTED.
We have noted that a large num-
Der of families of the town rise at u
very early hour-at or before the
light of day and have breakfast
over before seven o'clock in order to
meet engagements in the various
avocations. The ladies who operate
in the shirt factory start the ma
chimes at seven o'clock. To "have
respect for the sun" and modestly
allow it to rise first while We keep
our beds of ease is very attractive,
but in these days of close COMPETE
ton in all lines the old motto is par
ticularly experimentation deep
while sluggards sleep. And you will
have corn to sell and to keep"
MIR. r. J. Parker died very sudden
ly on Monday night from an attack
of heart disease and asthma. He had
been suffe ring from this disease for a
year, or more, but was considered
much better recently. He had the
esteem of the people of the commu-
nifty as a good man. He was a kind
and generous neighbor and contribu-
ted freely of his means to the pro-
motion of the church. The funeral
services were held in the M. Z.
church, South, on Wednesday, at l
o'clock p. H., conducted by Rev. F.
NJ. Edwards, assisted by Rev. A.
Burke, and the interment was in the

Mrs. Hetty G. Byrd, widow of the
late Obed s. Byrd. died Friday, the
second day of February, at her home,
near Mearsville, aged about II years
Fare we'll. dear mother, sweet be thy
rest,
Weary with years and worn with
pain,
Farewell, till IN some happy place,
We shall behold thy face again.
IT'S ours to miss thee all our years,
And tender memories OF thee keep,
Thine In the Lord to rest for so.
He giveth his beloved sleep.
We miss thee from our home, dear
mother,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow over our life Is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

Died on February Goth, W. Harry
Killmon, aged % years, son OF L. j.

Dear Harry is sleeping, so free from
all pain,
O, wake him not, sweet spirit, to suf-
fer again;
He slumbers so soundly, o. let him
sleep on,
His sickness is ended. and troubles
are gone.
o, think what he suffered and moaned
with pain,
In the long night hours, they soothed
him in vain;
Till God in his mercy sent down from
above,
An angel that whispered a message
of love.
Gone but not forgotten.

 It was discovered that the wife of the collector as we'll as the wife of the special deputy collector held positions paying 1,20O year. The evidence showed that the examination sheets sent from Washington had been opened prior Jo the examination, and that high school teacher had been employed to work out the problems, all of which were copied in the ex- animation room, and high percentages were thus obtained by the applicants.
 The civil service board at Washing ton reports these frauds to be the most serious of any coming under their ob- servation. The collector, and special deputy collector in the district were promptly removed by the secretary of the treasury, and new officials ap- pointed to fill the vacancies.
 Special Agent Smith was associated with Special Agent Charles S. Grain in the district of Montana and Idaho 1, Special Agent John W. Lincs in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California, and Special Agent J. D. Powers at No- gales, Arizona, all agents of long ex- perience and recognized ability. Along the Mexican frontier, and in Alaska as well, the country is sparsely populated, and, being long distance from Wash ington, irregularities are more com- mon than in the older sections of the country like New England.

Transparent Arguments.
From the Los Angeles Timesl


 Among eastern papers that have been paying some attention to the question of national irrigation is the New York Sun, which recently published an edi- torial on the subject. The Sun had come across letter written by Gov. Murphy of Arizona, and takes up the views of that welf-known opponent of national irrigation and advocate of cession to the States and Territories in which the arid lands are located. The Sun refers to Gov. Murphy's "well considered argument" as Ia distinct and very interesting proposition" It would certainly be very interesting proposition for the capitalists and syndicates who would profit by such transfer of the arid lands, and it would also be interestiDg-but in another

 For this reason, recommendations were made favoring high license for the territory, which Congress has since made law. Liquor is almost an abso- lute necessity in Alaska on account of the intensely cold weather.
 Mr. Smith said that few people com prehend what vast area Alaska COW CTS. The latest computations place it at 800, ,O00 square miles, or equal to all the territory east of the Mississippi river, while the coast line is 26,000 miles. distance which would more than encircle the globe.
 The present governor of Alaska is the Hon. John G. Brady, who resides in Sitka and has grown up in that vicinity. He was waif in the city of New York, and subsequently, went West, where he fitted for college and was graduated from Yale. Mir. Brady was sent to Alaska as a missionary, and has, for a number of years, been holding the highest office in that inn mense territory.
 On account of the serious conditions of affairs which were found to exist at San Francisco, it was found necessary 1 to spend five months there. The cus- tom house was examined and many | special Investigations were made. The special treasury agent there, who had been in the service of the government | for IS years, was removed. In cense- quence of the investigation under the civil service laws, such prominent off, cials as the chief of the Chinese bureau, the weigher for the port and a number of assistants were obliged to go out of the service.
 The various custom houses in the state of Oregon were also examined At Portland, 8 very important colIec- ton district, warehouse frauds were found that had existed for 9 years and several thousand dollars were re- covered from collector whose term oi office had expired.
 The commission spent two month, in exauaining the customs business ir the Puget Sound district, embracing the entire state of Washington.
 At Nogales, Arizona, on the frontier startling irregularities and fraud
 were discovered. Eight weeks wer, spent in making examinations at thi
 place. The frauds consisted in tn
 failure to account properly for tn
