INCREASED COST OF LIVING.

Whatever the cause, itcannot be
disputed that the price of living has
greatly increased throughout the
country.
The price of meats is said to be
higher than for any length of time
in the past nine years. Wholesale
dealers say cheap beef is unlikely
for a year or two to come. At the
present time all meats, with the ex.
ception of veal, cost the consumer 2
cents more than in the summer.
Veal itself is 6 cents higher. This
increase came suddenly about the
first week in September, the dealers
say, and there is no indication of a
return to former prices.
Many reasons are advanced for the
increase in cattle and hog products.
The principal one is the failure of
the corn crop in the West.
As to cattle, during the year
thousands of acres which were form
erly devoted to grazing were plowed
and planted for grain. The "corn-
stalk disease" has also thinned the
ranks of the beef producers.
In the grocery trade the situation
is very different, and if any vegetables

OPHELIA.

= LAST SAD RITES TO Mr.. MOSES.
Last Sunday all that was mortal
of N. II. Moses was laid to rest in
the private burial ground at the
home of Mrs. Rebecca Haynie. The
bereaved wife, accompanied by a
brother Of the deceased, came to be
present at the last offices that could
be performed by sorrowing friends.
DIR. G. W. Beale made a few touch
ing remarks and offered a beautiful
prayer. The Masons of Heathsville
Lodge then bore their deceased
brother to the grave, performing
their impressive burial service as they
committed him to the narrow limits
of his last earthly home. The day
was raw and chilly with some rain,
but large crowd was present, many
being from a distance.
1t was sad home coming for the
grief stricken wife, who was one of
our sweetest and most popular girls.
Only very few brief years ago she
gave herself into the keeping of a
loving husband, and now she returns
to the home of her girlhood broken
hearted aud disconsolate. The SYM
pathy of our people are with her in
these hours of great affiiction. X.

SAME OLD COON.

Let Democrats make no mistake.
Our ancient eremy still faces us. He
is the same old zip coon he always
was. Mighty cunning and mighty
connisseuring, but keen to bite and
vicious; quick to buy and able to
buy, where money will turn the trick;
willing to bulldoze and beat down
where force is required; ever present
with some federal process or machine
to override home rule. the people and

perimentalist, using the flag for a
party dish-clout, bending the con-
stitution to every party exigency;
here today and gone tomorrow, a
homeopathic free trader to the far
mer, an allopathic protectionist to
the manufactures; Platt reformer
in New York, Quay regular in
Pennsylvania; all things by turns
and nothing long except his pocket

can from old John Adams and his
alien and sedition laws, to Theodore
Roosevelt and the nigger!-Louisvile

How cine ntistletoe Comes to BE.

How the Mistletoe Comes to Be.
The story of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is a most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are
pearly white berries. These come in
the winter season when food is COM
paratively scarce. and hence some of
our birds eat them freely. Now
when a robin eats cherry he swal-
lows simply the meat and fips the
stone away. The seed of the mistle-
toe the bird cannot flip. 1t is stricky
and holds to his bill. His only re-
source is to wipe it off, and he does
so, leaving it sticking to the branches
of the tree on which he is sitting at
the time. This seed sprouts after a
time, and not finding earth-which
indeed its ancestral habit has made
it cease wanting---it sinks its roots
into the bark of the tree and hunts
there for the pipes that carry the sap.
Now the sap in the bark is the very
richest in the tree, far richer thar, that
il the wood, and the mistletoe gets
from its host the choicest of food.
With strange foresight it does not
throw its leaves away, as do most
parasites, but keeps them to use in
winter when the tree is leafless.-

cember LADIES' Home Journal.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Christmas number of Scri6ner's s
Mdgdsine is especially notable for charm
Ing fiction and novel aud effective art
features. The old-fasbioned Christmas
story does not prevail, but In it's place
has come the story of bright and cheer
ful social phases, delicate sentiment, wit
and humor. The best work of the best
writer's is used in these special numbers
rather than Christmas tales written to
order. In this number sppear such
authors as Thomas Nelson Page, f.
Hopkinson Smith, William Henry Bishop
and Arthur Cosslett Smith.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.

While Rev. l.. A. Cutler, of
Louisa, was speaking in the Disciples
Convention in Richmond on the re-
lation of the church to social and
civic reforms, this note was sent up
to him, which he read:
"One month ago L was visiting
near certain courthouse. The
Circuit court was to be held. The
irst day the Judge could not get
there. The next morning the train
was held ten minutes for the Judge
to get to this court. When he did
get there, he slept all day sitting on
the bench. The Common wealth's
Attorney fell from his seat, and the
Chief Magistrate laid in the gutter
all day. All from drunkenness. This
is fact"

The writer of this may be classed
as an old fogy for he knows nothing
of foot ball and could not tell a foot
ball from base ball if he met both of
them on the road, but he bets on
pluck and ambition, aud our college
boys have both. They have never
been scored against this season, tho
what that means he don't know and
don't care, all he knows is that our
boys have downed all the other foot
ball crowds. Besides the writer lives
near the college and he knows that
no college on earth has better class
of young ladies and gentlemen than
ours, and its faculty is composed of
scholars and citizens who are the
proud boasts of our city.

OUR WHITE ILLITERATEs.

The census reports show that there
is more illiteracy among the white
males of voting age in Virginia than
in any other State, the percentage
being given at 123. This will sur
prise many, and it may tend to ex-
plain the anxiety displayed by the
Constitutional Convention of that
State not to disfranchise the illiterate
yoters.-7Ae Washington Times.
The fact is .'not" as stated. Our
Washington correspondent has read
the statistics carelessly.

percentage of native-b born white illit-
crate voters in the States named,

WEIRD cow DREAM.

Several Norfolk county dsirymeu
were before the Norfolk board of
health for selling milk not coming
up to the required three per cent.
butter fat standard.
1t was charged that they had been
adulterating their milk after its re-
ception but it developed that the
-dairymen had been giving their
cows large quantities of salt on all
occasions.
Salt makes cows thirsty and the
more water they drink the more milk
they give. The quantity always
pleased but the quality was found to
be lacking.
The board Of health adopted
stringent measures against the milk
men.

or fruit have advanced in price the
increase has been directly traceabIe
TO crop failure, as in apples and po-
tatoes. Fresh lard, eggs aud butter
are higher than usual, but this is
explained by grocerymen as merely
the annual winter increase in price.
The marked rise in storage eggs
was the work Of ga ombination"
which cornered this section of the
market, as it had done last winter.
Canned goods are higher, owing to
the rise in the price of tin, but with
the exception of oats, practically
everything else is on a normal basis.

THE CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.
tW'oshiilgton Post,

The Beers have met brutality With
brutality, and now announce their
determination to retaliate in kind.
Kitchener's proclamation of death
and exile aroused many foolish hopes
in England. Those hopes have not
been realized. The Beers, SO far
from yielding at his threat, displayed
fresh activity and, if possible, a more
effective military resistance. Now,
however, finding that the English
are bent upon reducing them to des-
peration, they have accepted the level
OF barbarism defined in Kitchener's
proclamation and have promised him
cruelty for cruelty, horror for horror
Just as he has fixed the standard.
A Paris dispatch to the New York
Sun says that the text of General
Botha's counter proclamation to Lord
Kitchener's recent proclamation has
reached that city. 1t was issued ON
September Is. 1t declares:
"WHEREAs, No official of the Orange
River Free State or the Trsnsvaal Re.
public and no general commandant or
burgher intends to obey Lord Kitchener's
proclamation or to trouble with IL; and
WHEREAS, The proclamation con-
tsins falsehoods habitual to the English;
and,
WHEREAS, Lord Kitchener's procla-
nation has strengthened the determine
tion Of all burghers to resist to the end:
now, therefore,
81, Louis Botha, commandant general
Of the republican forces, with the con.
sent of the governments, officers, and
burghers of both republics, proclaim
Lord Kitchener. his staff, aud the officers
and soldiers under his orders fighting us
now to be outlaws in South Africa, and
all officers and burghers in the two re-
publics and in Cape Colony are ordered
to shoot every armed Englishman whom
they meet"
This means the savage carnival of
blood. Thus far the murder and
the desolation, the rapine and the
cruelty, have been borne entirely by
the Beers. Their homes have been
razed, their farms obliterated, their
women, children, and old men driven
into prison pens; their captured COM
rades put to death and exiled. Kitch-
ener has made the mistake of strip.
ping them of hope-of the last alter
native. For months past the Beers
have been liberating British prisoners
misunderstanding them back to
fight again. Outnumhered ten to
one, they have further handicapped
themselves by display of mercy as
magnificent as it is astounding. Now
they have reached the limit of their
endurance, and henceforth the bar
barities of the days of Alva will be
reproduced in South Africa. An
eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth! The patient Boer has his
back to the wall at last. England
has only begun to imagine the
tragedies that are crowding in upon
her.

Thought He Sinned in Growing To.
baccO.

An evangelist has been preaching
sanctification st st. Mathews church
in Pittsylvania county for ten DAYS,
during which time he has denounced
tobacco raising as a sin and farmers
who raised the weed as sinners.
Mathew Scarce, a hardworking and
prosperous farmer, became so i'm
pressed with the preaching that he
gathered his tobacco from half a
dozen barns, piled it up in heap,
and in the presence of his neighbors
applied a match, destroying his entire
crop, valued at several thousand
dollars.
