WORD FROM MENCHvILLE.
Proposed Oyster Law Excitcs Alarm.
4 Neutrality-suspicious.
Correspondence of the Dispatcl.)

= Correspondence of the Dispatch.)
MENCHVlLLE, VA. December s.
The proposed oyster law, breaking the
Baylor survey, brings nothing but sad
ness to the oyster tongers hereabouts.
To most of them it appears now to mean
that they must seek some other means of
obtaining a livelihood. And one Of the
worst hardships which the enactment Of
such a law as was mentioned in the Dis
patch of recent da e will entail upon the
tongers is found in the fact that tBese
men have all of their means of living
invested in clustering material. f all the
oyster beds are thrown open to the rent
:ers men with money will. Of course.
get the best places: there will be no sale
for the boats and tackle now owned by
the tongers. and the proposed statute will
work well for the man who has money
already, but nothing but evil for the
men. who, for so many years. have looked
to the natural rocks for their daily bread.
Could the cry Of the oyster tongers be
heard, the proposed law would surely g
in committee.
On the 23rd ultimo. pretty but simple
marriage was celebrated at the home of
the pastor Of Denbigh Baptist church.
The contracting, parties were Mr. William
T. White. of Newport News, and Mrs.
Alice Belle burlington, of Warwick coun-
ty. The bride wore a handsome going
away gown of dark blue cloth, with large
picture hat of black material. The groom
was attired in the conventional black.
After the ceremony the couple drove to
Newport News from which point they
went for a few days visit to the home
of.the groom's parents in Elizabeth City,

Thanksgiving Day is rather dull day
in the church circles Of most rural dis
tricts. In this community it was some

lecture, The World We Live In slim

the weather. only small crowd assem-
bled at the time appointed. The lectur-

There is a hard fight already going on

which will be precipitated like bomb
among them when Mr.. Jordan. Of Fred.
erick, introduces his bill designed to pro-
tect the declining oyster interests OF the
State and to bring into the treasury
greater revenue from the oyster. In years
gone by. before the Baylor survey ana
the creation of the Board of Fisheries,
a large share of the time of the sessions
Of the General Assembly was consumed
in the consideration and discussion OF
oyster legislation. These bills were usual
l- fought out on the floor of the House.
and evoked a storm of polemlc oratory.

great enough for the supply of shell stock,

here have probably sent out more oysters
for the Thanksgiving trade than ever
