Unique Fence.

One of the most attractive orchards
in Clarke county is that of Mr.. Bart
Beaver, near Boyce. The orchard
C 'ntains large number of choice
fruit trees and covers wide area of
land. The space is enclosed with n
ten foot fence, upon which is strung
about 30 strands of barbed wire. The
fence attracts considerable attentio
and the main object in the owner in
erecting such fence is thought by
some to exclude the San Jose scale,
while others think it is to prevent
the entrance of Eden's intruders. -

May Divide The SYNOD.

1t Is thought that division of
the Presbyterian Synod Of Virginia
will probably be effected at the one
hundred and fifteenth annual session
of that body, which is to be held in
Norfolk next month. As the organ
ization Is at present constituted. ,he
synod is made up Of the two states
of Virginia aud West Virginia. the
District of Columbia. and n portion
of Maryland 1t is thought that
the territory is too large to be in
cluded IN one organization. as it
is very expensive for some of the
churches to send theii delegates to
the meetings. The meeting at Nor.
folk will serve as an instance of this.
the members of West Virginia have
to travel several hundred miles i'm
order to secure representation. 1t is
proposed to divide the territory at
at some point in the Blue Ridge.
