WESTMORELAND NOTES.


nan, who has been quite sick, is
convalescent.
The Rappahannock Valley Con-
vocation of the Episcopal church
was held at st. James Episcopal
church at Montross week before last.
Rev. G. NJ. Connelley, the pastor,
preached forcible sermon on being
active in Christian work at Currio-
man Baptist on the second Sunday.
The Christian Band of Workers of
that church added six new members
to its list recently.
Rev. G. NJ. Connelley and his
daughter, Avalon. were guests in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John r..
Campbell at Chiltons recently.
Edgar Sanford, of Washington,
ID. o., is visiting his father and
mother, Mr.. aud Mrs. q. III. Sanford,
near Chiltons.
1t is very gratifying to us to learn
that in the near future wharf will
be erected at King Copsico on the
Potomac by the Norfolk Steamboat
Co., and that the probability is that
an electric line will be run from
this point into Richmond county.
The day is not far distant, we believe,
when we will have many electric
lines in the Northern Neck.
Donald Balderson, of Montross, is
on the sick list.
1t is probable that public road
will be established from Scates' store,
in Richmond county, across the
country to east end in this county.
The election has passed and the
citizens Of this county have settled
down to business. The merchan Is
in most all sections of this county
report business lively. The farmers,
though disappointed to some extent,
seem satisfied with their harvests
this year, while the fishermen and
oystermen deplore their sad luck this
season. The oystermen are not
making many catches, and the fisher
men are doing less.
The oystermen, along the Potomac
shores aud its tributaries in this
county, are standing in readiness to
become members of the Oyster
Tonger's Union Of Virginia, which
was recently organized in this State.
We believe that such q Union will
secure to the oystermen of the State
many rights heretofore denied them.
Two dog cases were tried in the
Justices court at Chiltons on last
Saturday afternoon by Capt. j. Ii.
Chandler. Both of the cases were
for shooting vicious dogs upon the
public highway. In one case the
man shooting the dog claimed he did
so because the dog attacked his COW
in the public road. In the other
case the dog was killed IN the night
by man on the side of the road. In
each case the .Tustic ined the de-
PENDANT $3.50 and costs. Quite q
large crowd attended the trial and
much interest was manifested. In
the forenoon of the same day Capt.
Chandler had dog case at Montross
under consideration, but the case was
dismissed. All three of the dogs
killed were bulldogs of most vicious
nature.
Several applications are in readi-
ness to be placed before the newly
elected Board of Supervisors of this
county, when they hold their first
meeting. for appointment to the posi-
ton of superintendent of the county
poorhouse at Chiltons for the next
four years. 1t seems an assured fact
that w. Z. Sanford, the present in
cumbent, will be re-appointed to the
position. He has filled the place ad.
mirably we'll for the past eight years,
and there is no one better suited for it,
We learn that several of the public
schools In Stonewall District, Rich
mond county, will meet at Newland
on Thanksgiving Day, and jointly
observe a day of thanks. Dinner
will be served on the grounds by the
school patrons. A program will be
rendered.
Tommie Sanford, of Zacata, has
moved his family to the capital city.
His brother, Ryland Sanford, will
take charge of his farm.
