very rapid descent, and landed IN water
up to his neck. There were enough
friends around to see that no harm
Should come to Billy and getting a
strong rope they lowered it until the
moose fell suuarely over his head, and
then it was that the tug of war was gone
into.

The goat is u favorite with the boys in
the neighborhood, and belongs to Mr..

WILL. REFUTE CHARGES
The next meeting of the Virginia Demo-
cratic Club will be the launching into the
public vision some talks which, for their
warmness will make the live wire or
Richmond seem very small potatoes AT
the last meeting of this club Mr.. j. W..
Barrett was called upon for q speech,
announcing his candidacy. He made a
purely impromptu talk, and quoted some
figures, which are at this time being
challenged, and a very prominent man IS
now gathering statistics, which he VIII
present at next meeting of the club, re-
futing every charge made and showing
that every cent spent by the Street COM
mittee in the past ten years has been
used to the best advantage, and the most
iudicious manner. Mr.. Barrett has said
that he would be at the meeting and he
will have some facts to present to the
members that will certainly put them
to thinking as well as the general pub
lie to investigating.
There was no intent on the part Of Mr..
Barrett at the lass meeting to criticise
the acts OF any one. yet he said that
there should be more money spent for
permanent improvements and less for
temporary.
The members of the club are expect
ing something hot at the next meeting,
and now it is nearly the sole topic over
here.
