most spirited eras OF Virginia politics. ir.
which the distinguished southwest lawyer
bore a conspicuous part.
Back in the sos the State was in the
hands OF the Readjusters, and Col. Ful-
lSerson was one Of the ablcst leaders Of
that party and was known as one of the
big four
He served with distinction in the Vir-
sinia House and Senate and was after
wards elected to Congress as a Read
juster. Like most Ninth District repro
sentatives, Col. Fuikerson served but one
practice, in which he was actively en-
gagged until his recent attack of paralysis.
Col. Fulkerson was regarded as fine
layer. and was a man Of considera ol,
prestige in the General Assembly, where
he was famiiarly known as the RED
Fox. of the Southwest He was en-
dowed with many of the qualities of
leadership. and was man of wonderful
popularity with his colleagues.
Toward the latter part Of the Malone
regime Col. Fulkcrson broke with tie
wiley little leader and returned to the
Democratic fold.s where he was a great
power In bringing the State back into the
column of that party. Col Fuikerson
was widely known and popular. not only
in the Southwest, but In many other sec
tions Of the State.

About Reappolnlment
Measure.

Some interesting measures are going
to be sprung upon the Legislature shortly
after the holidays. and some powerful
battles are anticipated by those close to
the inside. One bill that is looked for
ward to with great interest is that on
the subject of congressional reapportion-
ment, which will be offered by Hon S.
Gordon Cumming, of Hampton. Mr.
Cumming is looked upon as the leader
of what is known as the machine wing
Of the party in the House, and he has
been working on the bill for some time
He has made several trips. to Washing
ton, whence it is said, the last measure
emanated and is presumed to have. con-
ferred with party leaders there as to
the provisions of tn new bill. Just what
the bill will provide beyond giving the
Peninsula to the First District is not
known, but it is said that 1t is likely to
cause some surprises when it is offered
in the House. If those who opposed the
Rarksdale mea sure last winter regard the
Cumming bill as fair and reasonable they
will not fight it, but they have said that
if 1t goes into the discriminating business
they will put.up the fight Of their lives
Mr.. Cumming however.is a most as
t,1te leader, and will not fear to fight
whatever strength the opposition forces
may gain. 5ss ss..s

something over $3.50, belonging to Mrs.
Roberta T. Hunter ana her daughter,

when both the ladies were on the Street.
The stones were in Miss Hunters trunk,
and from there they were secured by the
breaking open of the lock. which was &
strong one, and to which the young lady
carried the key at the time.
According to the story OF a fortune
teller, whom one OF the ladies has since
consulted in regard to their loss, the
stones are to lie returned by an unknown
man. The efforts of the detectives have
been employed to develop this individual
but so far their efforts have not been
successful.
The stolen stones are in three rings
and very handsome and valuable pin,
which was a bridal gft to Mrs. Hunter
NO ARRESTS MADE.
\ thorough study of the case has, been
made by every detective in the city. but
as yet no arrests have been made, though

At the Mt Vernon last night the rob
berry was admitted by Mrs. Hunter. but
for fear Of hampering the police she
would not discuss the affair in detail.

TO PREACH TO NEIGHB0Rs
Community About EIko is Delighted to
Have Such a Neighbor, and Will
Erect a Church for Him-ls
Wealthy and Fine Man.

The neatly painted school houses of
Henrico county, near Eiko. are fine ad-
vertisement of that section, and two
farms have recently been sold because Of
their commendable appearance.
It was suggested yesterday that the real
estate men would do well to paint the
school houses of the State as a recon-
menoation for the sale of property.
The latest purchaser is the Rev. D. A.
Martin minister of wealth and promi-
nence, of Pittsburg. Pa. He has bought
the noted Tu. ner farm, about two mi. .es
and a half from Elko Station, and will
move his family there in Feb. uary.
The Turner place is about LEGO acres
in size, and was formerly owned by Mr..
Thomas F. Pollard. of this city. 1t is
in fine repair, and is one OF the most de-
s.rable homes in the county.
Mr.. Martin is at present In the city,
and was caller at the office OF the Com
missioner of Agriculture yesterday. He is
a distinguished looking gentleman. about
sixty years of age, and has family
consisting Of a wife and several boys,
who are at school in Pittsburg. He wants
then? on a farm, as he believes that is the
place to rear children. He is also tired
OF the smoke and cold of Pittsburg.
WILL PREACH FOR THEM.
Mr.. Martin is a CongreSationalist min
lister Who has much private means. and
has retired rom the active pastorate. He
has been down to his place and has met
a number Of those who are soon to be
his neighbors. They were delighted to
find that they were to have minister
amongst them. They talked among them
selves and a committee was appointed to
wait on him and ask him if he would
preach for them if they built him a
church. He SAID he would be very glad to
do So The movement has now been set
on foot to erect a chapel at Elko, and
here Mr.. Martin will preach from Sun
day to Sunday to his neighbors.
The residents about Elko are delighted
at having SO important an addition to
their social circle as this cultvate1 fami Y
and q warm rec pt:on awaits their comm
month after next.
1t could not be learned what was the
exact sum paid for the farm, but 1t was
approximately $40 600.
FELL IN LOVE WITH STATE.
Some months ago Mr Martin wrote
to Commissioner of Agriculture Koiner,
asking about lands and climate here. Mr..
Koiner w,ote him a letter which did
honor to the State. Later he heard again
from Mr. Martin, and some days a. ter a
prepossessing gentleman walked into his
office and ~aid that he was Mr.. Martin.
Mr.. Koiner had a long talk with him and
showed him the samples of Virginia fruit
he has in his department. The minister
was greatly impressed.
Again when he went down in Henrico
and saw the newly painted school houses.
and every farm thriving, he was induced
to invest The purchase Of the Turner
farm is the result of a brief stay In the
old State and a talk with the Commis-
sioner of Agriculture.
Some time ago another gentleman pur-
chased a Henrico farm because he ad-
mred the school houses.
