KING GEORGE.
More Trade Coming To This City
Than Formerly Reasons For The
Suggestions, Etc.

Comorn, Va, Dec. 18th, 1902.
1t is estimated that fredericksburg has
received a larger share of King Georges
patronage this fall than for number of
years. Much of the money and trade OF
the county that has been going to Alex
andria and Baltimore for some years
past has gone TO fredericksburg this
season. and many who have been in the
habit Of ordering their Christmas supplies
from Alexandria and Baltimore will buy
in Fredericksburg this and next week
The prices at which fredericksburg mer-
chants sell goods are fairly satisfactory
to our people. Now, il the King George
people must deal in any city, Fredericks-
burg ought to be the place. And it is OBJ
vious that much of our patronage must
go to some city, for the reason that the
best regulated and best conducted coun-
try stores cannot carry in stock suffici-
ent assortment and variety.
The fredericksburg people have taken
one important step in the direction OF in
ducing and encouraging our people to
trade with them, and that is the putting
of an accommodating steamboat on the
Rappahannock river. This. II permanent
and successful will turn many hundreds
OF dollars from other cities to the old
Burg. At least one other item remains
TO be looked aiter-the Fredericksburp
merchants and business men should max,
some arrangements by which they car
pay better prices for country produce
Thus done, and with n permanent peoples
steamboat plying the Pappahannock
river, the trade OF all this section-and
fardown the Rappahannock Valley-will
go TO fredericksburg. Whatever trade
that must go to a city should go to Fred
ericksburg.
1t is very generally regretted by the
King George people that the time has ar
rived for Judge and Mrs. John +. Mason
to leave here for fredericksburg TO spend

How often our paths they divide,

And long buried thoughts rise again,
bringing with them a nameless sorrow
That is not unlike TO pain.
rs backward we turn in our day dreams
To the day dreams Of other years.
And like ghosts of the hopes fondly
cherished.
The cross roads are seen through our
.s tears.
They tell OF the Marahs and Mizpahs
That have come to the grief burdened
heart.
And as often as memory recalls them
Jnbidden the tear will start.
Aye they tell of the sad. sad partings.
OF the knell and the funeral train
OF the bighted hopes which never
Can gladden. the heart again
