CAME LAW CONFUSION.
The game laws of the different coun-
ties of this State have been changed so
often in recent years that great confusion
exists in some of the counties. Adjoining
counties frequently have different laws. In
Stafford county the season for shooting
cartridges opened on October 18th. and IN
some of the adjoining counties gunners
We're under the impression that the sea-
son opened there also at that time, but
it is unlawful to shoot cartridges In many
Of the counties of this section until No
@vember 18th. The season is now open in
Spotsylvania for partridges. There have
been nine changes in the SpotsEtvanld
county law since 1887.
The trade excursion from all landings
on the Rappanannock River to this city
arrived here at an carly hour this morn
Ing, and brought large crowd of people
from both sides of the Rappanannock,
many Of whom came on business and
made large purchases OF goods from the
merchants during the day. The excur-
sion party left late this afternoon.
NEW SUMMER RESORT.
Mr.. James Grinne. a leading business
man of the Lower Rappahannock, con-
templates erecting a handsome hotel at
North End Wharf, in NIiddleseS county,
and making that place a summer re-
sort He hopes to have the hotel ready
for guests by next spring.
The loss to Mrs. Lucy Atweil, of WASH
ington, whose country residence near
Greenlaw's Wharf on the RapPahannock
River, in King George county, was de-
s;royed by fire, is a. heavy one, as there
was no insurance. All of her furniture
stored in the upper part of the house was
also lost. Mr.. Charles Jet and family
were occupying the residence at the time
OF the fire, but succeeded in saving their
furniture.
SHIRT FACTORY.
The machinery for the shirt factory has
been put in place, and the plant. which
will employ large number of opera tives.
will soon be started UP.
The revival services at the Methodist
Church continue in interest and largely
attended. The services are conducted by
Rev. George L. Tyler, the pastor.
Mr. Ernest Layton, who has been a
citizen OF Newport News ror the past sew
eral years has returned to this city to
reside. and has gone into business with
his father Mr.. James t. Layton.
Mr. Charles w. Cash. OF the Adams
Express Company here. who was so bad
!v injured in a runaway accident a short
time ago, is able to be out again.
