united in marriage to Mr.. John r

ciating. As the bridal party moved
off for the n. e. w. train the small
boy and usual rice brigade were in
evidence and rice by the pound was
showered upon them, much to the
discomfort of the confused groom
and blushing bride. When the lat
ter's trunk reached the train it was
pasted over with dodgers" in large
print, Just Married" and hung with
old shoes and ladies' hats with mil
linary signs attached. The "funr
of the occasion was decidedly over
done.

NEW CIRCUIT JUDGES.

A movement is on foot among
the members Of the Legislature
10 elect the new judges at the short
session Of that body in July. 1t is
urged that Il great deal of time
would be saved if this course is
pursued. and put out Of the way
ii series Of hot fights when
the body returns to Richmond in
the fall for the long session. All
the present circuit judges are IN
derstOOd to be candidates for cleo
ton to the new places, and there
are many others in the field.
There are now 10 circuit judges
in the State. The new Constitu-
ton provides for "a. Hons. Robert
Turnbull, Of Brunswick, George
X. Anderson Of Allegheny; G.
lay lOI OdTHeJt, Oh Matthews .(lag-
gett b. Jones, of King and Queen;
w. n. POrtlOck, Of Norfolk county.
and other members Of the Conven-
ton are said to aspire to new pla-
ces on the bench.
The Legislature will probably
create commission to codify the
laws in conformity with the new
Constitution and provide an cleo
ton law at the short session, and
beyond these things and the taking
of the oath, it has been thought
that little would be done.

Southern Seminary Again
Changes Hands.

FRIDAY Richmond Times.
The Southern Seminary ut Buen,
Vista, which for the past two year.
has been controlled by an incorporat
ed Board of Trustees, has again beer
taken into private ownership, going
back into the hands of the president
the Rev. E. H. Rowe, by whom it was
formerly run. The transfer occurred
yesterday in this city at the annual
meeting of the Board of Trustees at
Centenary Methodist Church.
Two years ago, when the Seminary
was located at Bowling Green, it was
owned by Mr.. Rowe, who turned it
over to the church to be run i'm the
interests of the denomination. A
Board of Trustees was appointed and
was Incorporated. A year ago the
location was changed from Bowling
Green to Buena Vista, where a large
MOTEL building was purchased.
'DNNhONi ntltutT TIE virginia
Conference nor the Baltimore Con-
ference would take the school under
its care, and yesterday it was decided
to give it back to its first owner.
The Board of Trustees goes quietly
out of existence. The only report of
the meeting given to the public was
the following statement signed by
the Rev. Mr. Mastin, the secretary of |
the board.

GENERAL LEE SAYS "GET
TOGETHER.V

General Fitzhugh Lee was il
Richmond Tuesday. He did not
and will not talk about the u. S,
Senatorship, but fully discusses
national politics. Speaking Of the
next Presidential campaign, Gen
eral Lee said:
Without Surrendering any views
as to the benefits that might have
been derived from q double standard
ofcurrency or sacrificing any principle
IN the matter, our party ought to
come together and declare that the
issue having been twice submitted
and twice rejected by the American
people W. will meet the situation on
Il platform as broad as the country
and join the great march of progress
on issues born of the living present"

FINALLY ADOPTED.

The Constitutional Convention
on Friday finally adopted the new
Constitution together with the
schedule for putting it in opera
ton. The same day it was referred
to the enrolment committee to be
engrossed. The committee was
given to June 25th to complete its
work, and it was decided that the
Convention should take a recess
until that time, when the engr0ssed
copy of the new instrument will,
in the presence Of the Convention,
be certified by the president
and attested by the secretary, and
delivered to the proper authorities.
Every vote in the entire
body was polled on the subject,
though only sc members were ac-
tually present. Unanimous con-
sent was given to have the votes of
the absentees recorded. The vote
stood ayes 80, noes 10, all the Dem
Ocrats and two Republicans
Messrs. Mundy of Botetourt and
Walter Of Orange-vOting in the
affirmative.
The Convention also provided
for contingency, that when it
adjOurns finally after June 25th,
that it be subject to the call of the
president up to January, 1903. The
resolution will not be finally dis .
posed until the Convention recon- y
venes, but the matter meets with i
almost unanimous approval. C
If there is any dissatisfaction Il
in Rcckbridge, or any portion of d
the State. over the proclamation of =
the Constitution, it is lot making q
Itself manifest. We have heard Of O
no Democrat who proposes to leave
the party because of the deter
OF the Convention to pro- o
claim its work.
There are many white men in y.
Virginia who believed that it was e.
right for the Convention to submit =,
its work to vote Of the people. \,
But we feel sure from all we can
earn that the great body Of white d
people are pleased with the new e.
Constitution, and being pleased ~
With it are not giving them ho
selves any concern because theCon- y,
'entiOn determined to put it into 90

The money that will be spent in
building memorial arch to Presi-
dent Jefferson DAVIS in Richmard
could be more appropriately used
In endowing the Soldiers Home
in that city. No doubt if Mr..
Davis could be consulted in the
matter he would say the wants of
the aged veterans should be re-
lieved before a useless arch should
be erected to his memory. Too
much money has been spent in the
South building monuments, and
too little care of old soldiers and
their destitute families.

Strouse Meeting at Buena

Communicated
BUENA VISTA, June 10.
EDITORS LEXINGTON GAZETTE:

]
Dear Sirs:-In your paper of Nav
%. mention was made of q meeting
that was being held in the opera
house at Buena Vista, by Mr. ID. b
Strouse of Salem, Va, and as the
matter was incorrectly reported | feel
it my duty to state the facts concern
ing said meeting.
Just what X. y. Y. could have
meant by the expression Especial
sensation l am at loss to know.
We did not have Brother Strouse
come here to create sensation. but TO
preach the word of eternal truth. and
to be used of God in saving souls. and
establishing believers. 1t is indeed
gratifying to the promoters to
know that both objects were accom-
pllshed. We did not keep ac-
count, but God knows how many
were saved and helped during the
meeting. AT almost every service
persons were at the altar seeking
pardon or purity and frequently |
ten or a dozen were blessed at n
service
lfthe meeting could have had the
cooperation of the Christian people
II Buena Vista, as other meetings
ave had, many others might have
'een saved. We leave the results
nth all the conditions, in the hands
Him who doeth all things well.
