The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1902-04-29

"Kinlock," the home OF Mr.. Harry Bay
lor, near by, and brought TO the ehurci
when used All of these are precious rel
irs and carefully guarded. The choir lot
over the front door Is antique, the small
modern organ seeming out OF place
While we were enjoying the church anc
it's surroundings the congregation begar
To assemble and it was announced thai
Rev. :. $. Ware was To conduct the ser
vice. TO really appreciate this old reli'
OF the past, reader, you should go anC
see il.
on TO TAPPAHANNOCK.
At Champlain we received most pro
found bow from a man sitting on the steps
of a nice-looking house nearby and w
recognized William Baylor, the barber
Of this city, who is spending severa
weeks at his old home in the country
and who wanted to know the news
from the "old Burg" We handed him
copy of The FREE LAME, badshim good
by. and hurried on.
Soon we observed a gentleman walk
ing in front lie was our friend, Mr.
Philip X Bauman, out for an afternoon
Constitutional from his stopping place
Hoyds, and said he would meet us in
Tappahannock Monday. When neal
Mount Landing we vert in full view o
the handsome estate of Mr.. l.. B. An
drews. This il considered one OF the most
valuable in the County. All along the
route we were asked about the proposed
Telephone line, which will connect Tap
pahannock and fredericksburg. Ii is the
universal desire among the people to
have quick connection with onr city foI
they say they prefer to trade here, but
are handicapped by present conditions.
With the telephone they say goods can
be ordered at II O'Clock one day and be
unloaded at Tappahannock at o'clock
the next morning.
When we reached Tappahannock and
drove up to Hotel Bagby we received a
hearty greeting. 1t is more of n home
place than hotel The kind host and
motherly hostess leave nothing undone
TO make you feel at home. Alright only
one church was open, the Baptist, where
Rev. Mr.. Jones preached To a large au-
dience. The music was good and every
body joined in the singing, but a solo
rendered by Mr.. Phillips was especially
fine. We were hustled out of bed at al
early hour for our breakfast, because ouI
hostess said the night before it is court
day and everybody must get up early.
II was thought that Ramsay would b.
tried for killing Dunn, and large crowd
was present, but owing to the absence o
one of the counsel, H. |. Lewis, OF King
William. the trial was deferred until the
May term.
It was published that Mr.. William Tai
ialerro. son of DR.. Wm. Taliaierro, who
was aecidentlly shot by companion il
turkey blind last winter will lose hi
eyesight, but this is an error. DIR. T
states that a specialist in baltimore say
the sight will be wholly restored in
short time.
Mr.. Charles Sale, formerly with Low
cry 4 Co., of this city, is located at TAP
pahannock, and is a member of the firr
of Faulconer X Anderton, which firm !
doing a large business.
Judge T. X. B. Wright was much i
evidence. He was smiling as usual, bt
cause he has always something amusinI
to tell. and il looks az il he will have
clear field in his reelection to the circui
iudgeship in his district when the Legii
lature meets. He is an ardent ex-Cor
federate. and no man in the first distriC
takes more interest in perpetuating tn
memory of the lost cause" than he, an
his work is shown in the camps and th
large number of gallerys OF the "me
who :yore the gray" which adorn th
court-houses in every county in the di
trict. The gallery Of his county home
the finest in the State.
The interest exhibited in the buildin
OF the Chesapeake & Western Railroa
through Caroline, Essex and King
Oueen to Gloucester Point Is very grea
and enquiries were made on every sic
as to the probabilities OF the road bein
built. 1t il said that II the Fuller synd
cate buy the Western Maryland roa
, there will be no road built through the
counties at present, but as the city cOu
ell OF Baltimore has declined the offer
$S, ,O00, 900 for its holdings by the Fl
ler's, and now ask $10,000,00O, whi
the latter decline to give, it looks Ii
the Pennsylvania, or B. & o. will &
> possession OF tho Western Maryland al
the Fuller people will be compelled
, build the c. & W. in order to get to de
water
