The Republican Convention at
Buchanan.

The Republican Convention of the
Tenth Congressional District met at
Buchanan last Friday night and nom
mated Col James Lyons of Bucking-
ham county, for Congress.
After the spectacular love feast in
Augusta, at which the Allen and Yost
factions buried the hatchet, it was
! thought the Buchanan Convention
would simply confirm the peace which
was then declared, but upon the re-
assembling of the delegates at
Buchanan it soon developed that the
peace was of short duration.
AT preliminary conference Of the
leaders, Mr.. Yost demanded that some
one in sympathy with himself should
be elected to the party district chair
manship. This was blow at Mr.
r. A. Fulwiler, the present chairman,
now holding a position in the United
States Marshars Office, and a close
friend of Allen.
Mr.. YOst's demand was met with a
prompt refusal on this question. The
two factions locked horns, and with
the expectation of hot fight, large
crowd gathered in the town hall where
the Convention met. There were be-
tween fifty and sixty delegates pres
ent.
The Convention was called to order
by II. A. Fulwiler, and was soon in a
wrangle over the election of tempo !
rary chairman. The Allen men named |
j. j. Moore Of Rockbridge, and the |
YOst faction led by w. G.. Franklin |
and Turner Hackman, named w. j.
Bryant, Jr., of Clifton Forge. On the
first vote it was seen the Allen side
controlled the Co4vention by over
Two to one. The temporary organi-
zation was made permanent, and from
this time on the Allen side went
over the enemy. There
was something transparently farcical
in the speeches of S. Brown Allen, r.
A. Fulwiler ,and james Lyons, nomi-
mating Jacob Yost. He was nomina-
ed by reclamation, and on being
before the Convention he
promptly declined the nomination.
The Convention then took recess.
On the reassembling of the Conven-
ion Colonel Lyons was named by
Mr.. Full wiler and his nomination fol-
owed by reclamation.
Colonel Lyons is prominent law
ger of Buckingham county. He served
IS L. s. district attorney for Eas-
ern Virginia under Cleveland's last
ERIN, and was u member of Governor
j Ferralls staff.

Fine Cattle for export.

Mr.. John II. Whitmore shipped to
Baltimore Friday fer export ship
ment a fine lot Of beef cattle. There
were forty head in the lot, and the
average weight was 1,272 lbs. The
price received was sc. per 10.
The result CT the grazing this year
was not satisfactory, on account of
the dry season, and the consequent
shortage in grass. Usually the aver
aga weight put on beef cattle by graz
ing is about 800 pounds per head, but
this year the increase in weight after
turning on grass was only about 100
pounds per head The difference in
profit, or lack of profit, is about $500
on the number of cattle handled by
Mr.. WhltmOre.

ing Sept. %, in st. Paul's Episcopal

Postmaster Nutty i'm Trouble.
Postmaster 5. b. Nutty of Timber
Ridge, has left for parts unknown,
his disappearance being due to some
irregularity in the conduct Of the
office. 1t appears that, under the
assumed name of Samuel Brown, ne
sent stamps to the amount of S12 to
a Chicago mail department store and
this fact was reported to the Post
office Department at Washington
PostOflice Inspector +. f. Sharon Of
that city, was sent to Timber Ridge
to investigate. Mr.. Nutty, it is said,
told the inspector that John Brown
was man employed on the farm of
Colonel j. A. Gibson. hut upon in
Quiry no such man could be found
Mr.. Nutty then acknowledged that
he had sent the stamps and used a
fictitious name. The inspector i'm
went to Staunton i'm order
to swear out n warrant for Nutty's |
arrest, but as the L. s. Deputy Mar |
shall was out of town, he had to go |
TO Harrisonburg, where u. S. Com
missioner Meredith issued the war
rant Deputy Marshal Haney of
was ordered to go to
Timber Ridge and make the arrest.
Mr.. Nutty had, in the meantime, made
his his escape.
The using or sending away in
quantities of stamps by postmasters
5 prohibited by the postal laws, the
being fine. 1t is understood
hat inspector Sharon said that had
Mr. Nutty stood his ground the
natter could have been easily ad-
listed without publicity, simply by
he payment of small fine.
The sureties of the postmaster took ;
possession of the office, with Mr.. ID. !

Look Out For Tricksters.

There was probably never time in
the history of the State when there
were so many fakirs wandering around
trying to swindle farmers and other
people out of the eye, teeth or any
thing else of value. You can scarcely
pick up an exchange but what you
read of this man or that buying gold
brick of the most pronounced type. 1t
is one game this time and a new one
the next time. Each fellow teaches a
new trick and you can't learn them all
without going busted.
People are inclined to do their deal
ings with s'furreners." They will send
their money off to mail order house
or give it to fakir wandering over
the country, when the same goods
could be bought for less money right
at home. 1t one case you have the
word of your home dealer and you
know he will make matters right. In
the other case you have the slick,
sugar-coated promise of stranger,
whom you never see again and who
never wants to see you. Home mer-
chants are compelled.to sell the best
goods, because their honor and repu-
tation are at stake Mail order houses
sell seconds of all goods and the pur-
chaser is sometimes glad to get any
thing and never complains when he
fails to find scarcity of kinship or
complexion between the sample or
description and the goods itself.
It's human nature, and until human
nature changes home merchants will
be deprived of trade that belongs TO
them and the general public will be
hard up for the benefit of the dear
people in other States.

BEES ARE STARVING.
Amid Luxuriant Blooms Honey Gatherers
Can Find no Food.

With vegetation luxuriant hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth OF bees
are starving to death. For three
weeks rains have fallen almost every
Gay and have washed the flowers and
the tree bloom of nectar and pollen,
on which the bees live and lap up
their stores. A peculiar feature OF
the matter is that none but adept bee
raisers become aware of the true state
of affairs until they find their bees ly-
ing dead by thousands outside of the
hives and on investigation ne hives
them selves are found absolutely
cleaned of all honey. The ordinary
raiser sees his bees lying outside OF
the hives as If they were preparing to
swarm. This is where he is deceived
for in reality they are bees which
have LETT their own emptied hive and
a.e in front of neighbor hive seeking
to rob it of it's supplies. Bees are
wise little creatures in this time of
famine and it is found that they have
killed all the drones which are honey
consumers and destroyed the queens
cells, thus preventing an increase OF
mum bers. So not only does the bee
raiser face the calamity of no honey
crop this season but also of no in
crease in the number of his hives by
swarming. Experienced raisers are
advising the feeding of the bees at
once to save the old ones at all. The
food recommended is to take equal
parts of granulated sugar and water,
boil, skim the syrup and put it out
where the bees can get it, putting
splinters of wood in the vessels for
the bees to light upon. Men who
have been in the business fifty years
say this is the most threatening dis
aster they have experienced in their
career, and advise immediate action
that the bees may be saved.

Bagley Notes.

The Fourth of July was celebrated
in grand old style. The day was warm
but bright and full OF sunshine, the
crowd was simply immense. The band
formed near the Burlington hotel, on
main street and the crowd marched to
beautiful grove across the railroad
track where some mud and soft ground
was encountered. All the cares Of
teams reached the grove alright, a
clean, shady place of many acres.
Everyone praised the grounds as the
best anywhere in west Grant. There
was music by band and choir, the
speech by Robt. Glenn, our popular
candidate for the Assembly who did
himself proud. Very good attention
was paid the speaker. Toasts by Mrs.
Alice Hadge, Edwin Glenn, w. Winter,
Misses Bessie Glenn, Edna Gulick and
George Willard were spicy and we'll
worded sentiments that drew forth
response we'll worth listening to. The
athletic games took up the latter part
of the day. Glen Ravens base ball
team scared our boys, and of course
now is the time to crow.
The Chapman Plondke wedding
came off few days ago in Dubuque,
Ora Prodt and Miss Minnie Plondke
were right and left hand supporters on
the momentous occasion. We have
but few particulars Of the happy event
but one thing we do know and that is
the wedding cake was delicious. We
also know the happy bride to be one of
the very best girls, and we would be
sorry TO know that the groom is not
her equal and in every way worthy of
SO good life companion. We con-
graduate the new couple and may
they ever float on the broad sea of
happiness.
Ben Holt of Patch Grove spent the
fourth with friends in Cassville.
A. Calkins, a delegate, says the
county is safe for La Toilette and that
the chances are growing brighter every
day for our popular and able citizen,
Robt. Glenn, for the assembly.
The farmers need good weather to
make hay and lift the heavy grain
crop. u. AND /.
