A VISIT.
BY UNCLE SNORT

Friend Innocence the Broad,
And friend Jumbo the Short
Drove out the other day
To visit Uncle Snort.
1t took a rig quite strong.
And a horse fat and sleek,
To carry these two men
With their amount of cheek,
The horse looked very tired;
Said Turn me on the grass,
I'm worried half to death
Hauling this great load of gas
Innocence looked angry,
Said "Hush up, you great fool,
You haven't got half the sense
OF a common Spanish mule
Then said Say, Uncle Snort,
He's an educated horse,
But says many foolish things
That / cannot indOrse.
Like a boat without a rudder,
A ship without a sail,
He's a two-party goer
With a high head and tail"
When we came into the house,
There then began to roll
Both a real feast of mirth
Ana a real now OF soul.
They rather tried to guy me,
but | couldn't see the point
Said though everything looked nice.
There was something out of Joint.
Jumbo said, Say, Uncle Snort,
With all of these nice rigs,
Yet you'll soon be too worthless
To be fed to common pigs
But / rather bIacKed his eye
When / said "Oh! yes, | know
You two hath need good horses,
But with me 1t isn't so.
"You are both a little slack,
And might lead worthless lives,
If 'twer not for the bOssing
OF your precious little wives
Jumbo, to change the subject,
Said, while things are going,
i want to buy a rooster
To do my home growing
Innocence looked rather wise;
Said, Hush you little elf,
Keep your money in your pocket,
Do the Growing yourself
We then went into the yards,
Took a squirt at the fowls.
But they all seemed badly scared,
Said See those two giant owls. -
Jumbo said, Uncle Snort,
Your birds are ~fine-yards neat
Let's buy a spring chicken,
They are the best OF meat
l said, Hush, you hungry wolf,
Your appetite's too keen,
To eat such birds as these
Is rather low and mean
well, yes, " said he, tits true,
Fine birds lay many an egg,
But / like big fat birds
With golden yellow legs.
"Oh, yes, 70 said Innocence,
There goes your mouth again,
If you could have your way
You'd eat up this whole pen.
Yes, the evening was spent
In royal fun and miTthr
It's hard 10 tell how much
Such men as they ~ worm.
They are men Of heart and soul,
And jolly 10 the core.
They're noble, true, and good.
Hope they'n live forever more.

in tho recent Henrico primary. yesterday
filed notices OF contest with Mr.. Thomas
c. Rufln, chairman Of the County Com
mittee and upon their successful oppon-
ents and the committee will meet next
Saturday to take the matter up.
K i Those who are not satisfied with the
result OF tho primary and who desire the
committee to make some Investigation as
to the alleged methods OF It's conduct, are
Messrs. Fl. c.. Heckler. who opposed
Treasurer w. H. Brauer; Mr.. q. w. !.
@Throckmorton. who was defeated by Mr..
L. o. Wendenburg for Commemorative s
attorney and Mr. G.. N. Wyatt, who was
a candidate for Justice OF the Peace, in
the Tuckahoe District. against Squire
James Il. Lewis.
The determination OF Mr. Heckler to
contest Mr.. Brauel's nomination caused
something Of a surprise, as he was tho
third man In the race. the vote having
been: Brauer. 1.153: Todd. 1o6s; Heckler.
9OS.
1t was at first thouaht Mr., Todd might
contest, but he allowed tho time to elapse
without filing any notice on the commits
tee. saying that while he had heard 1-u-
mors. he knew of no facts upon which he
could base q contest.
SAY LAW WAS VIOLATED.
While no detailed statement OF allega-
tons has been submitted by any Of the
contestants, It IS understood that IN their
formal notices Messrs, Heckler and
Throckmorton charge that the Barksdale
law was violated and that their defeat
was brought about through the spending
OF money upon the voters, which Is pro-
h!bited by the now statute introduced
by the Halifax senator.
The vote for Commemorative attorney
was: Wendenburg. 1885; Throckmorton.
92s; Bryant, dl5,
Mr.. Wyatt does not predicate his fight
against Squire Lewis upon any alleged
violation OF the Barksdale law, but con-
tends that some fifty ballots were reject
ed at Shumakers Precinct and that upon
a recount, 1t may be discovered that
many moro were rejected to his detri-
ment.
ONLY PRELIMINARY,
At this juncture tho proposed contests
are In their incipiency and nothing has
been done beyond the fillng OF the no.
tices which had to be done by last night

committee will meet next Saturday at
