NOTICE SERVED
ON REV .R()bERTS
He is Expected to Resign the
Rectorship of Bruton Parish
Church Soon.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, May 3.-The
air is full Of rumors Of all kinds in the
matter Of Mr.. Roberts incumbency Of
Bruton Parish. Despite the close watch
the ministers who attended the covoca-
ton kept on their tongues some stray
hints leaked out, all to the effect that
by some process or other Mr.. Roberts
would vacate his rectorship very soon.
Of course, these ministers have no
power whatsoever In the premises, but
they all came from the Norfolk neigh
borhooi, where the Bishop resides.
To-day process was served on Mr..
Roberts by the City Sergeant at the in
stigaton Of the gentleman who is chair
man of the anti-Roberts organization.
but the nature of it could not be learn
ed. There are excellent reasons, how
ever, for believing that it was notice
from the Bishop citing Mr.. Roberts to
appear before him some day next week
and answer the petition Of the majority
Of the congregation who ask that the
relations between himself and his parish
should be dissolved. Such a. paper was
sent here early in the week. but was
not served on Wednesday. as was in
tended, on account of convoca1ion meet
ing, the Bishop telegraphing a respite
in the matter.
Whatever the nature OF the paper It
seems evident that Mr.. Roberts was dis
turbed by it, while those who are try
ing to get him to resign seem more con-
fdent than at any time heretofore
Rev. w. A. Barr was in town to-day.
He has figured in the trouble quite fire.

OF the notice was known to him.

GARDEN LITERATURE

Since elizabeth and Her Garden" was pub
lished and its success duly chronicled, the
idea seems to have taken hold of many peo-
pie that there is enormous demand for
that kind of literature, and they are hasten
ing to supply it according to the best Of their
ability. Judging by some Of the specimens,
there is in some people no inherent ability
to produce what is wanted at all. There: are
very few authors who can give the publi.:
the kind of garden literature produced by the
author Of Elizabeth and Her Garden" but
the publishers, believing that there is a de-
mand for efforts Of that kind are publishing
most everything they can find with a horti-
cultural flavoring. Even Lord Bacon's essay
on gardens has been reprinted. Already, in
addition to nominations on flower gardens,
We have thrust upon us idyllic literature on
vegetable gardens and no doubt MRS: Wigg5
of the Cabbage Patch was suggested to Miss
Hogan by the current publication Of so many
garden books; Would that they were all as
good as Elizabeth and Her Garden" Give
us rosies and violets and daisies rather than
cabbages and beans, if we must be de1uged
with garden literature. a.. ~. ;.
1t is all right to have gardens and fill them
with all the delicious flower bearings plants
and sweet shrubs known to horticulture. Lord
Bacon is correct when he expatiatesa on the
fine moral influence OF gardening; but when
people undertake to write about gardens, they
ought to be amply prepared to- do so by an
instructive love of flowers and their culture
and by acquiring power of literary con-
struction which will not fail to reveal their
own experiences and their personal intimacy
with gardens and flowers. f.: =
