John r. Rev, who In his card an
nouncing his candidacy, stated that
he was unalterably opposed to break
ing the Baylor survey, and whose
past acts do not contradict his state

Fisheries met to consider the appli'

free of charge, to the oystermen to

Rev. Sam Jones, despite his contract
to be at Turlingtons campground on
last Sunday, which was read to the
vast audience in attendance, estimated
at 6 900 or more, did not put in an ap-
pearance. He seems to have had an
engagement also to speak at another
place on the same day and as he could
not meet both engagements preferred
to disappoint the people of Accomac,
as appears in the following from the
Free Lance:
Sunday closed the great Cha
tauqua in Madison county for this
wear. A crowd estimated at over three
thousand gathered under the taberna-
Gle to hear Sam Jones.
Rev. George r. Stuart preached at
eleven O'Clock and Mr.. Jones at 2 and
s in the afternoon. He entertained the
vast crowd in his inimitable manner
about three hours. Most of his hearers
were much pleased, but as usual some
of the good sisters were shocked al
some of his remarks.

! is not the best part of it-they are
all producers on dams as well as sire's
side for 4 generations back For an
example, his own dam produced one
with a mark of 2:11-his two grand
dams are producers. One dropped
two that went in the list, the other
dropped five colts that went In the
list, his great-grand-dams are pro-
dueers-one dropped six that went In
the list, the other dropped nine that
went in the list.
Sphinx, the sire of Saginaw, has 70
or more in the list. His sire, Elec'
tioneer, has 1877 in the list on dams
side. and Belva Lockwood, his dam
by Hambletonian Wilkes, sire 20 or
more, he by George Wilkes, sire OF "a

not all of his breeding, but Is suffi-
Gent to show to the public that he
