Mr.. George F. Reed returned recently
from a meeting of the National Beagle
Club, which was held last week near
Howardsville, Virginia. The club was the
guest OF DIR. Bruins and its mem bers were
entertained with true Virginia hospitality
at the summer home of Gen. and Mrs.
Logan, the father and mother of Mrs.
Bruins. Gen. Logan was the youngest of
the Confederate generals. The two beauti-
full residences are situated in Bucking ham
county, the James River dividing them
from the Blue Ridge mountains. They
are about ten miles below Manassas juno
tion, where battle was fought during the
war. The meet was very successful. 102
dogs from all over the United States were
present, and were in the best possible con-
dition. Game was to be found in abun-
dance. Mr.. Reed won eight money purses
with his dogs and Mr.. Caswell's which he
won the all day sweepstske, making her a
field champion. The cub had a Pullman
and express car for their dogs and them
selves from Jersey City to Richmond and
return. Mr.. Reed reports this to be one OF
the incest farming communities he ever
, saw. The soil is a red clsy: the main
crops are wheat and corn. The farms are
not very well cultivated as help is scarce
and the negroes are nearly worthless
unless they have an overse r over them.
