for he has been a true friend of his
fellow man, and faithful son. His
mother says that since he was ten
years old, he has borne the cares Of q
grown man and never failed in his
efforts to honestly discharge them,

THE JAMES EXTREMELY LOW
Not Enough Water to Run the Ferry.
Building Operations Retarded.

! IRWIN. VA Oct. 1.-The recent rains
in this section have caused the James
10 rise high enough to shortly enable the
ferry boat TO resume operations For
some weeks the river has been SO low
that it prevented the use Of the big fiat
boat. and as a result much freight has
accommodated on the Goocnland side OF
the river
Mrs. F. z. H. Bullock has suffered more
than anyone else, as she is erecting a new
residence arcoss the river, and it has
been impossible to get the building ma
teriais over 10 the other side. While the
rive! appears TO be high enough now to
operate the ferry, as yet no attempt has
been made to transport my freight across.
Perhaps this is due TO the numerous
rocks that are in the river here.
The prospects of a large corn crop have
in no way diminished as the season
wears on. and the. farmers are counting
on large profits from their grain this
year. They are all at work in the fields
when the weather permits, and are pro-
crossing rapidly.
Very little new corn has been received
at the mill at Licking, and Mr. Frye,
the miller. has very little to do al pres
ent, as everyone is too busy to bother
about hauling to the mill, except when
absolutely necessary
