MANASSAS HORSE SHOW.

The Manassas horse show began
Wednesday and ended yesterday. Al
though this show is yet in its infancy
this being only the seventh annual ex-
hibition, it has proved TO be the equal
of any of its kind in Virginia. The
crowd, which was estimated to be be-
tween Eve and six thousand, was the
largest that has ever been in attendance
upon any of the previous shows held
there. Notwithstanding the fact that the
grand stand had seating capacity for
3. 900. hundreds had TO be turned away
TO find seats in the carriages lined up
around the show ring. The riding and
driving was superb, and special mention
should be made of the riding of the ladies
in the ladies' riding class. There
were no accidents in the ring during the
performance, and, so far as could be
| learned, the only accident that occurred
during the whole of the two days show
was last night, when Mr.. c. G.. West,
with his four-in-hand hitched to his
break, accidentally ran over man,
breaking his arm.
One of the best features of the show is
that no racing is allowed W 1 the or )unds
Some of the exhibitors, however, SEEM
ing to prefer the excitement Of the race
track to the less exciting sport of show
ing horses over the jumps and in harness,
managed to get up a steeplechase in a
nearby field. Hurry Up, owned by
Dorrel & Merchant, of Manassas, al d
ridden by B. N. Merchant, won the race
by three lengths. The betting on the
race was heavy and large amount of
money changed hands.

RECEIVED A Letter FROM CODY
Samuel w. Cross living near Richmond,
claims to have Just received letter di-
rect from God. Mr.. Cross is a close Bible
student and has been an active church
man but since receiving the letter he has
stopped going to church. 1t was on a
Saturday that Mr.. Cross received through
the mail box in his yard neatly wrapped
package which he found to contain a
small pamphlet called the Mass Book of
the Catholic Doctrine, and in the volume
was leaf from Bible containing the
thirteenth chapter of First Kings. He
says: ''There is not preacher in Rich
mond today who is preaching the right
and true gospel. There is no heaven ex-
cept right here on this earth with US. /
don't believe in music in the temples.
| don't believe in doctor and would not
have one under any circumstances. The
Bible is my medicine. Ny son was i'll
and could not move. / went to the Lord
in prayer and he told me to anoint him
with olive oil. This / did and he was
cured in two days" Mr.. Cross says he
has The Holy Spirit and knows he is per-
feet, for his actions are guided by the
Lord. 81 often get full of the Holy
Spirit while reading my Bible and fall
out on the floor. l fell twice while | was
reading the letter from my Lord the other
day. Do you know that was turned
out of the Apostolic Church on account
of relating my dreams in the prayer
meetings."

Palms and ferns should never be al

When moss is seen on fruit trees. it
may be taken as evidence of lack of
thrift in the trees.
The ideal soil in which TO set a plant
is one that is moist. without being wa

Vines Of all kinds flower and fruit
freely only after they have reached the
top of their support. When they have

Peonies should be planted in October
Once planted they should moi be dis
