A letter from King George county
says: The fall fishing has been excel
lent in the Potomac and Rappahannock

latter. Fishermen have had splendid
luck both with net and hook and line.
Trout, rock, perch and other fish have
been caught in great quantities and OF

more plentiful in the Potomac river this

of Young oysters are said to have made

crowded and were run in sections in order
to accommodate the extraordinary de-

facilities. The Washington ferry boats,
Mount Vernon, Norfolk and river

Officer Smith on Saturday afternoon
arrested man named William Fitzgerald
as a suspicious character. The man was
at the Southern Railway station, on
south Henry street, when Officer Smith
recognized him as man he had arrested
as a suspicious character several years
ago when there was large gathering OF
people in Washington and this city. On
that occasion he was on atrain endeavor,
ing to sell scalper's tickets. Fitzgerald
had several railroad tickets in his pocke'
and claims to be ticket broker. lie
left s25 collateral for his appearance IN
the Police Court this morning but failed
to appear and forfeited his collateral.
A well-known citizen sent a request to the
Mayor asking him to postpone the cast
until Wednesday which his honor refused
to do, as Fitzgerald had promised to be
on hand this morning.

The Weather Yesterday.

The rainy weather of Saturday and
S-.ardav niSht continued until late last
n -ht. when the wind changed to the
10. west and clearing conditions fol-
lowed. There was an almost continued
downpour from SATURDAY. night until
about one o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when there was hull. The streets
were at times flooded and much incon-
venience was experienced by those COM
PEELED to be out. There was a marked
diminution in the congregations at the
various churches at both the morning
and night services on account of the
pluvial conditions. A few members OF
the G.. A. X. were here looking at land
marks familiar to them forty years ago.
Some, however, became mixed in their
geography. One who was standing on
the northwest corner of King and Fair
fax streets in self-confdent manner be-
gan to locate certain points for the
information Of his associates. He
pointed to the frame building on the
northeast corner, occupied by Steiner
& Bro. as cigar mandatory and in
a positive manner said, "That was a
disorderly house during the war. White
persons lived up stairs and colored OF
the same class inhabited the lower
floors" The fact that the late Charles
p. Shaw carried on the tobacco and
cigar business before, during and after
the war in this building need not be
told any Alexandrian. The weather
today being bright and pleasant, many
members of the organization availed
themselves of the opportunity afforded
of visiting this city and surrounding
country where they viewed places
familiar to them two-score years ago.

HARD TO GET STARTED.
Things Which Overcome n Writer
 When Beginning m Article.

There is a feeling of timidity that oftentimes overcomcs writer when beginning an article. As in writing letter, 1t is getting started that puzzles It is the custom to begin with slow moving piston and work gradually into full speed until the flow of words Is free, and then the difficulty with some of us is to find the brake valve Again. a writer sometimes discovers that his beginning is more fitting ending, and vice versa. The newspaper style is to throw general conclusions up strong under the headlines, while the sermon izer reserves them until his final eli max.
 Thackeray remarked once that he could never tell exactly what he was going to say until his pen was in hand and under motion and then did not fully realize just what he was saying until 1t was written. There is subconscious- ness that shapes writing as 1t does speaking. This. I know, distui bs some well known theories of speaking and writing-as to weighing everything and then measuring it out as druggist compounds prescription-but my ob- servations are that the preparation is more in getting full of subject and then letting the mind work free under the impulse of the dominating idea.
 There are as many ways and meth- ods in writing and speaking as there are individuals. and yet the fundamen- tai law in the transmission of thought and speech runs largely in the same groove. whether it be the jargon of the Hottentot or the polished periods of the scholar. Human nature has its own primitive impulses that defy all rules of rhetoric and the power of ex- pression-that is. the power. mind you is deeper seated than any artificial formula of stylists. - National Masa zine.
Holbrook argus., 1902-03-29
FLOWER AND TREE.

Keep begonias where the air is not too dry. and they will not drop their leaves.
 In watering house plants sufficient should be given to soak the soil thor oughly.
 A tree is nearly dormant in winter, especially one that has been lately transplanted.
 Plants in dormant state require very little water during the winter, and an excess will cause decay.
 Drenching rosebushes with strong quassia tea Is good curative of bugs and other destructive insects and pests.
 To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer full of sand. into which the slips may be set. Keep the sand the consistency of mud.
 Never give up decaying rosebush until you have tried watering it two or three times q week with soot tea for a short time.
 Repotting of plants becomes neces- sary for two reasons-the plant uses up the available fertility in the soil and fills the pots with roots.
 To prevent crotched trees from split ting after they come into bearing twist and fasten two small limbs together, and as the stem grows it will prevent splitting.
 Cuttings of quick growing herbace- ous.' plants, like heliotrope. verbena. phlox. geraniums, root quickly, chrys- anthemums quickest of all. Choose cuttings when the plants are most wig. orous.
