Lancaster Contains One of the
Historic Places of Colonial
Days.
Written for the VIRGINIA CIrrzES.l
One of the earliest permanent set
Elements in this part of Virginia
was at Millenbeck, where Col. Will
liam Ball, great-grandfather of Gen.
George Washington, made his home
about the year 1860. He brought
with him from England his wife,
Hannah Atheral, and four children,
his third son, Joseph, of Epping
Forest, being the father of Mary
(BalD Washington.
Col. Ball appears first as a ssmer-
chant" as did many of the "gentle-
men settlers" who came to yir-
ginia because % sshe political trou-
bles with which England was torn
at that time and for the opportuni.
ties which a new country seemed to
offer for the betterment of their de-
pleted fortunes. Col. Ball was a
devoted royalist and Jealous church
man, as his subsequent life showed.
The site chosen for his home was
point on the Corotoman river
about two hundred yards from the
present steamboat landing at Millen-
beck and near what is known as
Town Greek. Col. Ball died in 1850.
leaving Millenbeck to his wife dur
ing her life aud at her death to his
son, Capt. William (a) Ball. The
tract as devised by Uol. William
Ball contained about $40 acres, fifty
acres having been previously sold to
Lancaster county for a town.
In 1851 the Assembly of Vir-
ginia passed an act establishing a
port in Lancaster county "on the
land where Mrs. Hannah Ball now
liveth, scituate Of the Westerne Side
of the mouth of the Corotoman
river"
A short time since a descendant
or Col. William Ball found among
the debris which marks the site of
the old home at Millinbeck a Curl
ously shaped bottle neck on which
is blown the name of William Ball,
under which are the three estoiles of
the family coat of arms.
The male line of the Millenbeck
Balls became extinct with William

of his great-grandaughter, Miss Will

been In the possession of the Ball
family for more than two hundred
years. The mother of the last vii.

Col. Henry Lee, of "Lee Hail." and

Col. Richard Bland.

Apology Worse Than Insult.

Ex-Congressman "Ben" Cable, of
Illinois, recently told this story of a
titled Englishman, who spoke at a
dinner party of tiger he had killed
in India. 1t measured, he said,
twenty-four feet from nose to tail
tip. Everybody gasped a little, but
nobody yentured to express lack of
faith in the accuracy of his memory
for figures. However, there was an
old Scotchman present who pro-
ceeded to cap "my lords" tiger tale
with fish story. He said he had
once caught a fish which was so
heavy he could not land it. He had
to call on six of his friends to help
him bring it to the shore.
''It was skate" he said, sand it
covered two acres"
The tiger-hunting nobleman glared

at the unmoved Scot for a moment,
and then left the table in a rage.
The host flew after him, and re-
turned much disturbed.
, "Sir," he said, sternIy, to the
Scot. ''you have insulted my lord,
and | beg you to apologize"
IL dinna insoolt him." declared
the Scot.
"Yes, you did," persisted the host.
"That two-acre fish story of yours
was gross reflection on bim-an
insult. You must apologize.
well" said the Scot, s.you go
back to the injured gentleman and
tell him if he will take ten feet off
that tigers tail I'll see what eau
do with the feesh."

A POINT OF HONOR.

Christmas in this neighborhood
has passed quietly and sadly. A
mournful hush has prevailed over
the entire community and there has
been no merry-making anywhere.
The death of Mr.. James @. Stiff at
his fathers home in this place has
brought mourning to another home,
and large is the circle of friends who
sorrow that so useful life should
be ended In its prime. 1t would be
hard to find in all this section of
Virginia man who was so uniyer-
sally useful and was always engaged
In DOING good to others as was this
young man to whom q woman's
honor was dearer than his own life.
His esteem for the gentler sex was
unbounded, and to him woman was
an ideal of purity and goodness. In
his indignation at the liberty a man
of the world should attempt to take
with au unsophisticated schoolgirl
1t is not strange that all the chivalry
OF his nature should be aroused and
made him willing to head a party
to chastise one who would contami-
nate innocent girlhood by word or
deed. If womanhood or manhood is
above all riches, if a good name is
above all titles, if character is
greater than any cause, is it not the
height of truest endeavor to protect
the unprotected? There are charac-
ter laws that are neglected at our
peril; and every true woman of the
land ought to rise up and do honor
to the motives that prompted three
young men to risk and lose their
lives in endeavoring to purify the
community from pernicious infiu-
ences.-Oak Grore Corr. Free Lance.

AN ENJOYABLE EVENING.

an GNcOI RDLE Et EN- G.
On New Year night the beautiful
lawn and handsome residence of DR..
). B. Simmonds, cleaning with
Chinese lanterns. bespoke jolly
good time a'coming for those who
were fortunate enough to secure
invitations TO one of the most delight
fui balls of the season. The
interior of the house fulfilled the
expectations aroused by the beautI-
ful approach. The folding doors
between the large double parlors
were folded back and one room was
festooned in holly, running cedar and
mistletoe. The adjoining room was
used as ball room--and ball room
after good dancers own heart. The
toor was waxed to perfection and
plenty of room for the grace and
beauty of the evening to display itself
to perfection. The costumes of
many of the young ladies were beau
tiful In the extreme and fittingly ac-
companied by handsome and gallant
knights. A bountiful supper was
served in three courses, from il to
1 O'Clock.
That all-round, jolly good fellow,
Mr.: Henry Ramps, gracefully assisted
by his beautiful wife, added greatly
to the occasion by their delightful
music. Dancing continued till 2
O'Clock, when, thanking their hostess
tor most enjoyable evening, all took
their departure, expressing a sincere
desire that the near future might
bring them such another delightful
occasion.

To Plant Oysters 10 Feet Deep.

The State Board of Fisheries has
before it proposition from Frank
w. Darling and others, of Hampton,
to lease from the State large tract
of oyster ground, with view TO
making an experiment in deep-water
oyster planting. Mr.. Darling ex-
planned that his project was in the
nature OF an experiment and would
require the expenditure of large
sum.
He proposes to try oyster planting
in water fifteen feet deep or more,
an attempt lot heretofore made.
For the purpose of making the ex-
pertinent he desires the lease for
himself and his associates of 5000
acres of oyster grounds, for which
he agrees to pay 90 cents per annum
for the first five years, and 40 cents
per acre for the next ten years there
after.
The Board of Fisheries were so
impressed with the proposition that
they decided to recommend its pas
sage by the General Assembly of an
act authorizing the lease of the de-
sired planting grounds.
